We read every Independence Day speech since 1960. Year after year, leader after leader, promise after promise; what do 65 years of words reveal about Nigeria’s journey?

See what we found here.

When @StartArchiving first launched, one search term immediately dominated, revealing Nigerians' desire to understand historical patterns behind current events.

This moment became their compass: What if archives could help break Nigeria's cycles of repetition?

If you were planning to go for Chike's Canada Tour this summer, please save your money. By 7:30pm some guy shows up saying, 'Chike is coming, there's no traffic in Toronto'. It's been 2.5 hours and this useless guy on stage is here still trying buying time, doing 'vibe check'.

I just launched a course on consulting — but it’s not what you think.

This isn’t about building a firm or chasing clients.

It’s about turning your existing skills into something structured, valuable, and marketable. 🧵

@thereal_missE @SoftNaijMan LOL! He's referring to me although I don't see how this is true.

[Nigerian Author @MinoEhirim]

We cannot find Niyi and it doesn’t make any sense.

I went to school with Niyi. His older sister is also my friend and client.

Niyi went missing on his way to his farm in Orita Araromi, Sokoto Road, Atan Ota, Ogun State.

He was last seen on 25/05/25 wearing brown shorts and a white T-shirt, and was heard speaking with a farm worker named Ibrahim. His car was found near the farm, unlocked, with the key broken in the ignition.

If you have any information or have seen him, please call:
07062387565 or 08135139252

Please share. Help us bring him home. Thank you.
