Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

This is how to identify stolen vehicles through official channels before making purchase (part one)...
Before you pay, do these 3 verification steps:
Log onto the Nigeria Police Central Motor Registry (CMRIS) portal to request a vehicle status report. If the car has been officially reported stolen, it flags here and a contact inside the force helps speed up.
If the car has been registered in Nigeria before, the Federal Road Safety Corps has the data. Use the Chassis Number (VIN) & last owner's name to check. A contact in the FRSC can quickly pull the system backend to verify it's legit.
Forged customs papers are everywhere most of the time it doesn't match the vehicle you want to purchase. Take the Single Goods Declaration (SGD) form to the nearest Customs Federal Operations Unit (FOU). Check if the duty was genuinely paid and if the VIN matches their system. The best thing you can do is to have someone on the inside to fast track it within minutes.
Bottom line is always leverage trusted insiders to run these background checks before handing over your hard earned money.

A thief claiming to be a car dealer from Port Harcourt brought a stolen 2014 Toyota Hilux for sale to my colleague's car stand as a distress Sale. After doing what I know how to do best,I contacted the real owner to confirm if he had approved the Hilux to be sold. Only to discover the vehicle was stolen since November last year, so the owner connected me with his friends at FCT STATE CID and made sure we detained the the guy without his knowledge and was later apprehended and taken into their custody with the vehicle and I gained a high level client that day.

Anyone who adapts Black Maria to screen and does it well will be remembered for generations. I hope Larrysun gets all the recognition he deserves and more.
He has beautiful short stories too! @kemiadetiba

@IkechukwuChielo @niyiakinmolayan @akazahrab @TomilolaCoco You're very correct. I also have a friend who wrote a crime book. Though not published yet, currently selling the pdf copy. But Larrysun was very popular on Nairaland way back 15 years ago. His book Black Maria will make a great Crime story. I can gift you a copy.

@IkechukwuChielo @Tobichukwu10 @niyiakinmolayan @akazahrab @TomilolaCoco You should. If you send him a DM within the next 24 hours, you get the book at no cost to you. Already paid for by me. You just have to leave an honest review when you're done tagging @LSDwrites and myself. Thank you so much.

Hmmm how do I explain this cos it’s hard to explain things on twitter…. Netflix has to accept first before you proceed for originals. Also we aren’t really a reading nation. We can’t even agree on what our classics are… (the fact that we read them in primary school doesn’t really count).
Hollywood adapts novels released within the last 5yrs cos there’s still a culture there. And our big classics that might interest producers all have foreign publishers which makes it harder. Most times, we can’t even reach their estate or know who to talk to. Lastly…only Nigerians and a few other black people watch nollywood.. our films haven’t really crossed race borders enough that the streamers would take big bets on getting rights for major classics.
OLUWAFEYISAYO ❤️❤️@Feyisparkles
And this is why I wished that the Nollywood producers who got the original Netflix deals adapted Books more to make sure the deals stayed with in. One thing that will always sell is romance or drama genre book adaptations in general. Please adapt our bookssss

@IkechukwuChielo @Tobichukwu10 @niyiakinmolayan @akazahrab @TomilolaCoco Please send a DM to @LSDwrites. I'll pay for the book. Take it as a gift from me. Just do me and @LSDwrites the honor of leaving reviews here and tagging him when you're done. It's a 5 part book and it will leave you spell bound.

I am so sorry but I don’t agree with this take.
1: People don’t necessarily have to read a book before it gets adapted e.g. Off campus is a book series and there are people that have not read the books
2: The book community is also not small for the not reading country take
3: We don’t have to adapt classics, you can adapt recent books. Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of blood and bones for example was released in 2020 or so and it got adapted internationally.
4: We also have a book adaptation coming out in the cinemas this December

I survived a kidnap attempt on my way to Lagos from Ibadan along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway — around Ajebo, Ogun State.
At about 7:30pm, one of them suddenly jumped out from the bush carrying two heavy objects, trying to force my car to stop.
He threw the first object directly in front of my car while I was negotiating a slight bend. I managed to swerve around it, then he threw the second one. Before the others could position themselves, I brushed the main guy that attacked with my car and sped off.
Thankfully, I escaped alive, but my bonnet, bumper, headlamps, and fender were badly damaged.
Omo… no be country una dey live ooo.

Update: This lecturer has been suspended.
It was further revealed that his certificates were fake.
Abia State Government are not joking all.
Alex Onyia@winexviv
This is Dr. KC Izuogo from Dept of Mass Communication at Abia State University. He is very corrupt and wicked to students. He teachers “Introduction to Advertising “. Students must buy his handout for N5,000 and also sort the course with N20,000. If you don’t do it, you must fail the course. Government should investigate him thoroughly now. All evil lectures destroying our education system will be exposed and jailed. They are the major causes of low quality graduates in our society today.

@Morris_Monye My niece got licensed as a cabin crew in January. However, she's still trying to find a job. She also has prior experience as an admin and customer service personnel. It'd give me the utmost joy if she can find a job as a cabin crew.

If you ask me anything this moment I will 99% grant the request.
In that mood.

Just yesterday, someone was kidnapped in Edo State, Auchi to be precise, and the LOCAL HUNTERS entered the bush, figured out the hiding place of the kidnappers and apprehended them a few hours after the kidnapping.
Like i said, LOCAL HUNTERS. And you doubt that the DSS and other security agencies don’t know how to get these bandits?
Ordinary police that can get to anyone who speaks against the government, no matter how anonymous he thinks he is? See how fast they got to Chudi and that 99% Oppressed guy?
If you still think this party and this Government are innocent in this, then you are a genuine fool.

Tunde, please stop this self-deceit. Who is the GCFR of Nigeria???
You won't beat around the bush on this one, my bro. The problem is your principal, but you are too scared to say it😂
Swear you are not scared.

@niyiakinmolayan But we don’t really have to do classics. Nigerians read. There are books published in the last 10 years that will do numbers. Have you seen how crazy people go for books like Broken by @akazahrab or A Very Gidi Christmas and A Nollywood Christmas by @TomilolaCoco ?

Thank you to everyone helping me call out these irregularities done against The Boy Who Gave. 🙏😭
Every time a young Nigerian creative tries to raise their head, we are being knocked down.
The Youngest Filmmaker in Nollywood History releases the Best Film Of The Year and some cinemas are bent on making sure that the film fails. By giving it terrible showtimes or not showing it at all.
When was the last time a cinema movie with ZERO marketing budget had this much noise?? When?! A film with this much demand and we are having to beg cinemas to give us showtimes that enable people to come watch?🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Are they saying they want all young people to stay away from their cinemas???!
What then is the hope of the next generation of Nigerian creatives?! Why are they bent on making sure that young Nigerian creatives never excel?! Why?!
Please keep showing up for THE BOY WHO GAVE! Keep speaking up for me🥺 Keep coming out to watch! Let them know that young Nigerians are not to be knocked down.
The Boy Who Gave is in cinemas now! It is the best film of the year! The reviews are clear!🔥❤️

A lecturer without a WAEC certificate has been tormenting students for several years. Fake WAEC, Fake Bsc, Fake PhD.
Abia State Government have intensified their investigations.
All fake certificate holders will be fished out and suspended. All of them.
All forms of sorting, victimizations, sex for grades, extortions will be addressed and stopped.
By the time they are done, Abia State University will operate at the same quality level with that of top African universities.
We need to restore excellence in our universities so that we can start producing top quality graduates that will lead the African workforce in 10 years.

As promised, here's how to find companies that offer visa sponsorship
Getting a job that offers Visa sponsorship isn't as complicated as people make it seem. You just need to know where to look. Let me walk you through it 👇
Favourite | Al & Automation@favoritetechgal
I recently reached out to a few friends who relocated through visa sponsorship, and it made me realize how many people still don’t know these opportunities exist. So I decided to gather as much verified information as possible and put together a detailed thread, and no this is not a random info, It's an actual verified information,platforms, job sources, and strategies that have worked for real people. This is especially for people looking at countries like: 🇬🇧 UK 🇨🇦 Canada 🇩🇪 Germany 🇺🇸 USA …and others. I’m dropping the full detailed thread this evening. Don’t miss it if relocating has been on your mind.
