Cheers 🥂 to more Business Transformation Projects come 2025 and beyond

In Nigeria, It's not enough that you battle your oppressors. You also have to fight the willing slaves. And dem plenty.

i feel like there is a sleep in me that needs to be slept but each time i sleep i don't sleep that sleep.

Did anyone else read dictionaries and encyclopedias for fun as a kid or am I just weird?

Instead of adding pink ribbons to their products every October maybe companies should just remove the cancer causing ingredients

[Chisom Agbafor @ChisomAgbafor]

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.

One thing about God? He will enter your most shameful chapter and still treat you like you are worth rebuilding. that level of mercy breaks me 😭😭😭

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.

The last time I was in Lagos I paid to enter a beach in Lekki.

Not a resort. Not a water park. A beach.

Sand. Water. A coastline that existed long before any of us were born.

Someone bought it. Fenced it. Put a gate on it. Now you pay to touch the ocean.

What kind of government sells its people access to nature?

Happy Democracy Day. 🇳🇬

God did this. Not evolution.

Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.

The parent who is home at 4pm.

The real question is: when did feeding your own children become a gender debate instead of basic parenting? If the kids are hungry and you’re already home, get off social media, enter the kitchen, and act like a parent.

Respectfully,

The universe didn't wake me up this morning.
The universe didn't answer my prayers.
The universe didn't save my soul.

God did.

Let's stop replacing the Creator with His creation.

Nigerians are paying First-world Prices for Third-world Governance.

Tax us like Canada.
Give us Somalia and South Sudan Governance.

The first-ever cordless phone was created by God.

He named it PRAYER. It never loses its signal, and you never have to recharge it. Use it anywhere.

How come it is cheaper to catch fish in China, freeze it in China, transport it frozen down to Lagos, Nigeria, clear it frozen, truck it frozen to Onitsha, truck it frozen to Ikot Ekpene ---

than to catch it it Oron and sell it in Ikot Ekpene?

[Chisom Agbafor @ChisomAgbafor]

I've seen people forgive wickedness because the person is rich.

I've seen people condemn mistakes because the person is poor.

Money edits morality.

[Halimah Ahmed @ahmedhalimah02]

Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5.

I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma.

That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury

Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly.

I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while.

We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.

Fr, a dry bathroom floor instantly improves my mood. I can’t explain it, but it does.
