70 something year old man (allegedly) telling a majority 35 and below population that the debt he is crippling them and their children with is for their own good as “we” will work to pay it off. Who is we baba????

Didnt realise Lufthansa like Air France put all the African flights in the same area. Why did I get here and they ACs by the gates weren’t working

Collective behavior

3 days ago, the Nigerian Army jumped a fence to shoot and kill an innocent Nigerian youth in his room, a serving NYSC youth. They moped his blood, picked up his brain and called it accidental discharge. Yesterday, a Nigerian policeman shot and killed a restrained youth who said he was sent to pick up a package. He begged for his life. His only request was justice. All he wanted was justice, but he was murdered by those who should protect and give him justice. I am so ashamed and infuriated. The Nigerian youths have faced too much in this country. They have been through so much💔. When would enough be enough?

Okay so who didn’t go to St Saviour’s Ebute Metta

The people returning to their homes don't know the Yellow Line exists. But the IDF shoots them if they cross it, then labels them "terrorists". This is an outrage.

This is exactly the same thing I’ve been thinking about for a while. It appears like we’ve confused good policy design with good policy outcomes. Subsidy removal, FX liberalisation, tax reforms and those “hard economic policies” sound good and they appear correct on paper. But these policies assume a functioning safety net, productive capacity that can absorb the shock, and a state that reinvests the savings into the people. Strip those away and you’re not implementing any reform, you’re just transferring pain downward which is what this administration has been doing. Three years in and the people have not benefited from these policies. Commodity prices up 3–4x, school fees unaffordable but ofc, there is NELFUND lol, real wages destroyed. The “savings” from subsidy removal haven’t visibly returned to citizens in any form. Good policies without structural follow-through aren’t good policies. They’re just austerity disguised as improvements and we all would be used as collateral damages for the perceived improvement.

Insecurity has taken so much from Nigerians

I feel like I have the swag to be a DJ

I’d even ask them to repeat my faves. I miss it. But not even sure if my attention span can hack it right now 🥲

A friend and I were chatting and we remembered a random lost art - people narrating an entire film they’ve watched to you. So many random afternoons in boarding school were filled with the form storytellers describing movies in extreme detail, scene by scene. What a time!

Why do Nigerians refer to southwestern Nigeria as ‘Yorubaland’ when the region includes several other ethnic groups? Colonization is one answer but not the entire story. rpublc.com/story/2026/03/… via @republicjournal (As a Yoruba person, this was incredibly fascinating.)

“A person’s whole life is in that place, their work, their memories, everything. Suddenly you see it exploding in front of you,” said Ahmad Abu Taam, a 56-year-old resident of Taybeh. “From that moment, I felt that I had become a refugee. I feel like I have no home.” “You feel a deep sense of frustration. Like someone has the power to erase you,” said Abu Taam.

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

Say no more. Nigerian babies are fed sugar-packed Cerelac while European babies get the same brand with zero added sugar. The same culprit? Nestlé. Ultimately, NAFDAC is to be held responsible. Their mandate is to protect the health of Nigerians and they are failing at it.

Recently, when I pay for Petrol at the Mobil Station on Lekki-Epe the receipt from the POS is for Kruger Enterprises Oniru Beach Gate (something that certainly wasn’t the case in the past)… what’s that about?

Last week, we hosted MBA & PhD students from @Cornell at Paystack 🇬🇭 to discuss 10 years of growth, what we've learned, & the impact we’ve had across the markets. We're glad to be part of the conversation. Here are a few photos from their visit 📸 💙

1/ Ghanaian creators on X have been waiting two months for payments they earned. Money confirmed released. Still not in their accounts. This is not a glitch. It's a structural problem, and it's one African creators have lived with for years. 🧵

Just checking if it's still "blood libel" and "antisemitic" to raise concerns about this?

This is a so-called “serving” Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria saying in a live broadcast that he wished he could have shot and Killed a Nigerian Journalist. A country where public servants become tyrants because they know there is no consequence for impropriety.
