The full BBC documentary on Lionel Messi becoming World Champion with Argentina. 🥹🇦🇷
We actually lived through this. What more could we have asked for? 💙
The FBI is in Nigeria for purely political reasons stemming from the fact that your president works for them and Nigeria is not a sovereign country.
It has nothing to do with cybercrime. No African country is even in the world's top 20 if we're talking about actual cybercrime. All these $2,000 iTunes gift card scams that you people kill yourselves over are not "cybercrime" - they're petty theft.
"Cybercrime" is when Chinese hackers gain access to the control network for the electrical grid supplying an American city. "Cybercrime" is when Romanian hackers penetrate the security of a Canadian bank and siphon $40 million. "Cybercrime" is when Malaysian hackers deliver malware to a Silicon Valley CTO's laptop and encrypt it, permanently locking him out and putting a $5bn startup in trouble unless he pays a $4m ZEC ransom.
A Yahoo Boy with sagging pants and brown teeth who scams $500 gift cards out of lonely old white women is not a "cybercriminal" - he's a fucking idiot. We don't have cybercriminals in Nigeria. We just have idiots. And the FBI didn't leave the world headquarters of idiots and travel to West Africa just to hunt idiots when they already have so many at home.
It's 100% political.
While Nigerians spend fortunes importing foreign breeds, one of the toughest, smartest dogs has been right in our backyards all along.
- "Ekuke" isn't actually one specific breed, it's a name used for a group of local Nigerian dogs, also called "Bingo," believed to be a mix of about 4 common breeds cross-bred over generations.
- The name "Ekuke" is mostly used in South Eastern Nigeria, in the North they're called "Kare gida" (house dog), and in Yoruba areas, "aja ile" (home dog).
- Some people compare Ekuke to the Basenji breed, but this is disputed, many with real knowledge of the breed argue the comparison is more folklore than fact.
- Physically, they're medium-sized dogs, typically weighing 10-20kg and standing about 20-24 inches at the shoulder.
- They have a distinct look... a long snout, erect ears, and a slim, elongated body built for speed and endurance rather than bulk.
- Ekuke dogs were traditionally bred and used for hunting, guarding livestock, and protecting homes across Nigerian communities.
- They're known for being highly alert and territorial, which is exactly why they've remained a top choice for home and compound security for generations.
- Despite being local, they're remarkably intelligent and easy to train, traits often overshadowed by the stigma attached to "local" breeds.
- Their true history isn't well documented, but some believe they trace back to the Middle Ages, possibly descended from a mix of ancient local dogs and breeds brought in by early foreign traders.
- They're naturally hardy and disease-resistant, having adapted over centuries to Nigeria's climate and environment, something imported breeds often struggle with.
- Because they're common and inexpensive, many Nigerians unfairly view them as "lesser" dogs, even though foreign breeders and dog lovers abroad have shown growing appreciation for African village dogs like the Ekuke.
- They're incredibly low-maintenance compared to foreign breeds, needing far less grooming, no special imported feed, and rarely getting sick, making them one of the most practical dogs a Nigerian household can own.
Nigerians love for aesthetic made underrate our local dog, there's nothing a foreign breeded dogs will give that the local dog can't.
Have you ever own a local dog?
Share with us some good experiences you have had with it.
Happy Sunday

A friend has a Kangal in CO. Disappeared for a day and night after coyotes killed one of his regular dogs or cat. He found the Kangal about a mile away (lives on a lot of land) w/ the remnants of an entire coyote pack. Bloody from coyote, and not a concerning wound on him. Slept for a day after that.
A dog that will go all night boogeyman murdering on behalf of its family.
We have Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia, but it’s us from Imo that have more going on and are the baddest in Igbo Land. Look at how we spent $500K on a watch. Anambra state man would rather use that money to buy land.
