In my latest report, I bring to you a deep dive into hidden harms of certain fats present in some vegetable oils in Nigeria. You might be shocked that the content of some of your favourite BRANDED oils👇aren't better than the 'killer' UNBRANDED oils. Yet, you pay more for them.

@fisayosoyombo @fijnigeria 💪💪💪

Exactly five years ago when @fijnigeria hit the digital newsstand, I told myself to prepare for five years of famine. A note on the unglamorous side of life as a media/social enterprise founder… During my pre-launch research, I discovered that 70-80% of African startups fail within their first five years. FIJ was ideal candidate for that 80% failure, due to our setup. We were determined to fearlessly defend the public interest; our editorial operation was reliant on: (i) Investigative journalism, which would gravely offend the government; (ii) Social justice reporting, which would irritate the private sector and powerful individuals. I anticipated zero government patronage. I predicted we wouldn’t get corporate adverts too. So I braced myself up for five years of famine during which I would completely forget about myself, numb myself of every financial need, focusing on the organisation instead. Founding FIJ ranks as my biggest career risk. Anyone who has followed my work may find this strange, coming from a journalist who took the impossible risk of engineering his own two-week imprisonment just to report criminal-justice-system corruption — the same person who voluntarily resigned as the managing editor of a notable online newspaper without a backup job to become — wait for it — a freelance investigative reporter. But founding FIJ ranks higher because I had secured a grant with only a four-month shelf life, yet I had set up an office, hired a nine-man team and placed them on permanent contracts. I had no idea where the fifth month salary would come from. Worse still, I had no salary myself. Not like I didn’t have, technically, but I had given up my own salary by ripping it up and splitting it on the salaries of the other nine staff due to my stubbornness to pay them above the approved grant budget. And, oh, over the next 4.5 years, I paid dearly for that incalculable risk. Especially in the first two years, I went to bed nearly every night asking myself: “Who sent you?” Almost every night! But I woke up every morning looking in the mirror and reminding myself: “If there’s anyone who can pull it off, it has to be you.” There were times I borrowed from friends and paid back, multiple times I shrank myself so I could fulfil my financial obligations to my team, times I dried my accounts into the purse of the organisation, times I took on added consultancy and extra backbreaking work while diverting all of the pay to the organisation without paying myself a dime, and, most mortifying of all, a time I borrowed from one employee to pay all other employees. In all these years, I obstinately rejected help from public and private sources whose funds would have taken away FIJ’s voice. One or two people thought I was being naive and idealistic, but I was sure that with patience, the FIJ project would someday fund itself. I wasn’t sure how long it’d take, but I was sure it’d eventually happen. That took 4.5 years and since then I’ve been sleeping easy. I still have organisational headaches, but none of them is about who sent me. I still have a million work-related matters keeping me up at night, but when I finally go to bed, I no longer have nightmares or wake up abruptly wondering the source of the next staff pay. In the past my worries were about survival — and there were times I did feel they were going to sink me — now they’re about consolidation. FIJ’s survival of the five-year collapse mark is down to the many exceptional reporters and editors who are not just brilliant writing talents but are incorruptible and totally committed to the FIJ dream. I’ve had the good fortune of working with three fantastic EAs and many more hardworking admin staff who have cared for the organisation like theirs. Crucially, I have enjoyed the quiet but fierce support of multiple people in strategic places who appreciate the importance of FIJ’s work to the society. My gratitude to them all is limitless. An encouragement to struggling founders who might be wondering if it’s all worth it. Every morning when you rouse from sleep, look into the mirror and tell yourself: “If there’s anyone who can do it, it has to be this person staring at me!”

I am a father who wants his children to grow up in a secure, peaceful, and thriving Nigeria. I am also a journalist—one of the few who still has direct, professional access to insurgent networks in the Lake Chad Basin and deep insight into armed groups across the Northwest and North Central. Before setting up HumAngle, that access was focused on rescuing individuals, negotiating escapes, and helping the vulnerable survive another day. But over time, I realised that saving people one by one could never match the scale of the violence consuming our country. With @HumAngle_, we shifted from solely providing emergency interventions to individuals to de-escalating the conflict itself, as much as our access, resources, and expertise allow us to do. At HumAngle, what we publish is only a fraction of what we know. Every day we sift through raw information, verify it, and hold ourselves to an editorial standard that prioritises context over sensationalism, conflict indicators over chaos, and peacebuilding over blame. With the intelligence we gather, we now offer life-saving advice to policymakers, humanitarian actors, and citizens who want to see beyond the headlines and understand Nigeria’s complex insecurity. If we craved clicks, we could flood the internet with horrifying daily tragedies from rural Nigeria and watch our numbers soar. However, the country is grappling with an unprecedented level of insecurity, and too many leaders and citizens opt for denial over the truth. Our work rejects that denial. It is grounded in the belief that informed understanding is the first step toward de-escalation and that Nigeria and the rest of Africa cannot afford any more darkness.

For 50 years, Nigeria’s cheapest petrol came at the world’s most expensive cost. Subsidy drained billions, stalled growth, and created a myth of “cheap fuel as a birthright.” Now, with subsidy gone, can Nigeria finally grow beyond oil? Click the link below to read more premium.businessday.ng

@olumuyiwaayo Congratulations Doc.! Your testimony will be permanent.

During last year's Hallelujah Challenge, I participated with three IV drips at the South Health Campus, one of which was a strong painkiller that I initially objected to using because it contained narcotics. Only I was allowed to administer it. I was at one of the lowest points in my life, experiencing several flashes and episodes. In fact, one doctor even noted on my case file that I wasn’t showing any medical improvement. Despite this, I held on to my faith in God and used all my strength to join the Hallelujah Challenge. In one of the sessions, Pastor Nathaniel Bassey delivered a prophecy about someone who had undergone intestinal surgery, declaring that God had healed them. My surgery had been a five-hour battle to reconstruct my intestine. I claimed that prophecy, and just three days later, I was discharged from the hospital. The healing and restoration that followed completely blew my mind.

Just a reminder that Oke infact died. Nigeria ended him during the #EndSARS period. He was killed by thugs. I hope we never forget him.

Do you see how no APC account is saying no one died again? Their agenda has shifted to how victims collected the money they offered. Why did you offer 100m naira to the shot and family of the dead victims of the #EndSARS protests to silence them if no one died @jidesanwoolu ?

The documentary is out! WATCH 1. My 9 days travelling from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo and Burkina Faso to work for a 'company that deals in gold'. 2. The horrific living conditions of Nigerians lured into Burkina Faso, locked in hell, unable or ashamed to return home.

After I was offered a plum dollar-paying job in Burkina Faso, I travelled three straight days and nights from Lagos to go pick it up. Undercover As A Trafficked Person, my second investigation of the year for @fijnigeria. Voicing by @tamannarahman.
