A caller on Brekete Radio today said his brother's wife was kidnapped, gave birth in bandit captivity, and Bello Turji named the child after himself before increasing the ransom, saying he bought a ram for the naming ceremony.

In 2012, when I started farming in Kuje Area Council-Abuja, cashew trees were everywhere. Many local landowners planted them as economic trees—not necessarily for commercial production, but because they increased the perceived value of their land.

By 2013, the cashew industry had become a thriving rural economy. During harvest season, heavy-duty trucks lined up at Tipper Garage Junction in Kuje, buying cashew kernels for Nuts processing.
Farmers earned and the entire communities benefited from the value chain.

The boom continued through 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Then greed quietly replaced sustainability.

Instead of allowing the fruits to mature naturally, many people began harvesting prematurely to extract kernels early. The result was predictable: immature kernels flooded the market, quality dropped, and buyers began rejecting consignments.

By 2018, something even more alarming happened. Many of the cashew trees simply refused to fruit. In 2019 and 2020, some produced while others remained barren. By 2021, large numbers of trees appeared diseased and failed to fruit.
Today, the trucks are gone. The once-thriving cashew economy has largely disappeared. The trees remain, but many no longer produce.

What is most disturbing is that nobody seems to know why.

Nigeria has numerous institutions with mandates that should cover issues like this:
• Seed Council of Nigeria
• Forestry Departments and Agencies
• Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development
• Research Institutes and Extension Services

Yet there appears to be little or no publicly available data explaining what happened to the Kuje cashew ecosystem.

A nation that does not invest in research is condemned to repeat its mistakes. We spend billions discussing agriculture, but when an entire economic ecosystem collapses, nobody can explain the cause, measure the impact, or propose a recovery strategy.

Agriculture is not sustained by speeches and conferences. It is sustained by data, research, and institutional memory.

Until we take research seriously, we will continue harvesting from nature without understanding the consequences—and acting surprised when nature stops giving back.

In the USA, a high school students roll in to school with their cars, some of them even drive trucks.

In Nigeria, Police will arrest you for owning a car at 28.

Mukesh Ambani built Antilia.

Zuckerberg built a Hawaii bunker.

Elon sold all his mansions, lives in a 375 sq ft prefab box worth $50,000 near a rocket launch site in Texas.

And just became the world's first trillionaire.

The Nigerian government has done something impressive.

They have convinced millions of people that struggling to eat, struggling to pay rent and struggling to survive is a personal failure instead of an economic one.

That's genius.

There’s a wealth threshold beyond which money stops changing your lifestyle. At that level, Dangote and Elon Musk can enjoy virtually the same luxuries.

[Neo Officiall @neo_officialll]

There is no course in the Nigerian educational system that teaches you how to solve modern age problems.

If you want to be successful, you must learn to think outside whatever they are teaching you in schools.

Even if you learn nothing else, please master the psychology of selling because selling is one thing that will always remain relevant no matter how much the world evolves.

If not for the wonderful friends I made and the beautiful girl I dated, going to the university was a complete waste of my time.

I was fixing my lashes when two friends started talking.

One said she was craving noodles and asked where she could get some.

The other replied, “Iconic, but it’s about ₦2k.”

Their married friend laughed and said:
“That’s small money. Let me call my husband. I’ll tell him it’s ₦10k.”

Her friend even advised, “Just say ₦4k.”

She refused.

Put the call on speaker and asked for ₦10k to buy food.

Her husband said:
“Which day that one start to use 10k buy food?”

Then he ended the call. 😭

Sis has been explaining all day that maybe he’s just not in a good mood.

Why do kidnappers succeed in collecting ransom from their victims?

Based on my job, I learnt something special this week from Security Agents in Mali that we went on a rescue mission together. I don't know if the Nigerian Security Agencies are in collaboration with kidnappers to take ransom and share together, if not no kidnapper can succeed in taking any ransom where security formation is effective.

The story is that, I received a message from Nigeria concerning a 16 year old girl that was trafficked to Mali for sex trade. This victim called her parents about the situation and they passed the message to me from government agency for an urgent rescue.

When I called the number that the victim used to call her parents and I asked the traffickers to send the victim to me so that she can go back to Nigeria, they refused. Later they remove the line from their phone, now the number is out of use. I now informed a security agent about the situation because what is important is to rescue the 16 years old girl from sexual exploitation.

Now, the number I used to contact the traffickers is no more in use. I don't know the name of the village the victim is. I sent the number that they have removed and brake to the security agent. After two hours, they notify me the name of the village and the current new number the traffickers are using. We went on a mission without calling the new number. We arrived at the village in the midnight because it was about 15 hours journey. The second day, Information reach us the exact location the phone number was last used before they switched off the phone. After an hour, information came again that the person is having appointment with somebody by 11:00am. We hang around the place. When the person came around, there was a vibration from one of their security gadget to know the person coming with the number. We monitor her entry to the house. We were able to rescue the victim on 20/12/22. No call. Nothing.

So ransom collection in Nigeria could be between the kidnappers and security agencies. If not, no Nigerian should pay ransom to any kidnapper if really our policemen have the necessary security gadgets.

This is just a trafficking issue and not that some criminals will hide somewhere and calling people twice to pay ransom. You cannot call three times before being caught in Mali.

That is the reason I said, Nigerian Security Agents could be in collaboration with the kidnappers to take ransom from people.

Obi actually wanted his own party from the scratch, but INEC frustrated every effort.

Our ship docked at Algeciras, and some of my colleagues and I went ashore. While walking on the road, we saw a black guy riding a bicycle toward us. He stopped, and the next thing we heard was, “Nwaname, ke way.” I would never have expected to see a Nigerian there walahi 😂😂
He showed us around and directed us where to get what we were looking for.

REASON 101 why Nigeria must be divided

So that when you rehabilitate a terrorist back into your society, that terrorist will remain in your country because he knows there’s no rehabilitation in my country.
