What if GMOs are safe? What if they can stop food shortage? What if they eliminate poverty. But what if the technology does the reverse... cause human harm, does not solve food shortage and increases poverty. The later seem to be close to our reality. #myfoodmychoice #Gmo

Do you know the component of the food you consume? #GMOs

As we keep advocating for caution in the application of GM technology, consumers’ safety, and their right to make informed choices with the #MyFoodMyChoice campaign, we’re glad at the coming together of @FCCPC and @NBMA today to sign an MOU to build synergy; Thread👇

It is disgraceful that the Force PRO has been alluding to a law that no longer exist in Nigeria. The provisions of the infamous Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2015 that the police has been using to harass Nigerians has been repealed by the National Assembly and replaced with a radically different and new provision. The amended Act was assented to by President Tinubu in February 2024. Under the new Act, posts which are injurious to a person’s reputation is no longer a crime. The new Act limits the offence of cyberstalking to messages sent by means of a computer which are: (a) pornographic; (b) a threat to the life of another; or (c) likely to lead to a breakdown of law and order. In this specific case, the post made by this individual is neither pornographic, life threatening nor capable of leading to a breakdown of law and order. By virtue of Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or omission is only an offence if it so defined expressly in a written law. Nigerians should ignore the Force PRO.

Here is wishing the outgoing country director @hbsNigeria a beautiful new season. We look forward to continuing our partnership towards building a sustainable and progressive Nigeria.

Until the 1970, the majority of the people were fit as a fiddle! No keto, vegan, or paleo diets. No home aerobics or gym memberships. No fancy fitness tech or wellness influencers. They also weren't drinking protein shakes or counting calories. So, what went wrong? A THREAD 🧵⬇️

At the 4th quarter of this year 2023, we initiated the #GreenLab program designed to build farm2school youth leadership, empower young persons, teach them about their local food system, and engage them in meaningful, hands-on learning activities to strengthen our food security.

Barns Connect is an Agricultural Cooperative initiative of the Cal-Maji Foundation - that works to improve access and opportunities for women & young persons towards their socioeconomic growth. #greenlabschool #cocreation #greeneconomy #foodsafety #sustainableagriculture

Women have long been excluded from forest management and environmental governance in Nigeria, despite the fact that we know their voices and leadership are critical for long-term solutions. #Forestandgenderintheagenda #ClimateJustice #GenderJustice #WomenForForests @WECF_INT

The new government in Nigeria must put #Forestandgenderintheagenda for sustainable development.
