Please why are we like this?
Oil prices are dropping globally, but fuel prices in Nigeria are still hanging up there.
Funny enough, when there was mere speculation that Trump might attack Iran, fuel prices here jumped almost immediately.
I remember back in 2006 when my older brother was a 5th year medical student at Korle Bu and he caused a big family quarrel during a brief holiday in Lagos where he mentioned casually that he regularly administered blood transfusions to his patients.
My dad believed that as a Jehovah Witness, my brother should decline to take part in any medical procedure involving blood transfusion on religious grounds. He didn't even want to know whether such a refusal was even possible under the terms of medical practise (it isn't) - all he knew was that 12 white men in Brooklyn who regularly spoke to "Jehovah" had decreed it so, and how dare us children from a JW family not prioritise those instructions over everything else.
And because he convinced himself that his placenta was tied to these stupid Jehovah's Witnesses, he went on to lose his whole family that he spent decades building an empire for, and he died rich, miserable and alone. His first child got married and didn't even inform him because she knew he wouldn't approve. His 2nd child (my brother) invited him to his wedding and he declined because the bride was Catholic. His 4th child (me) got married and he was also absent, and he never met any of the 2 grandchildren he had before he died confused and heartbroken.
And after thoroughly fucking up his life, the cult just wakes up one day and changes the entire fundamental doctrine that made him go to war with his own children. There is no way to quantify the damage that has been caused here, and even if there were, oyibo man is definitely never going to pay.
As in my dad's case and in the case of every other brainwashed, spiritually lost black person, African wey no gree get sense, na oyibo go kill am.
All we can do is cry over spilled milk now.
@osinachi_ibiam Hi Osinachi, just read your thread — truly inspiring! You’re a powerful example of what’s possible, and young girls need to see more stories like yours. As a media person I would love to put your story out there. Are you game?
We were honoured to host His Excellency, Governor @jidesanwoolu, @Abi_Olusanya, and other esteemed cabinet members for a working visit to the ongoing Lagos Central Food Security Systems & Logistics Hub at Ketu-Ereyun, Epe, Lagos.
The Lagos Central Food Security Systems and Logistics Hub, located in Ketu-Ereyun, Epe, Lagos, is poised to be the largest facility of its type in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This project serves as the foundation for the 5-Year Agricultural & Food Systems Road Map (2021-2025), which we launched in April 2021 and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2025.

Friday the 13th
I engaged in a strategic meeting with the leadership team from Origin Tech Group (@Origintechng) to advance the Greener Hope National Agricultural Development Program.
This crucial initiative, a collaborative effort between the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (@ngfmafs) and Origin Tech Group, is designed to significantly enhance agricultural mechanization throughout Nigeria.
During the meeting, Managing Director Samuel Joseph provided a comprehensive briefing that underscored the program’s sustainability. Key areas of discussion included the integration of advanced agricultural technologies, capacity building for local farmers, and strategies for ensuring long-term environmental sustainability.
Our shared objectives are in line with the vision of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR (@officialABAT), to transform Nigeria into a food-secure nation.
