My favorite suya spot by the filthy gutters of Festac. Dear IJGB, the way to enjoy Nigeria is to suspend all belief and standards of "sane climates" and dig in, just dig in. Nigeria is another planet, living life on its own terms. Enjoy Nigeria. Bring tubs of Pepto Bismol. You will need it.

Tinubu can be embarrassingly inarticulate. This one is the president of a real country! SMH!

“Before I was born, there was hunger in this country” — Bola Tinubu. “We are in a critical situation. If the President can speak like this concerning the country, then it raises serious concerns about the direction of leadership.” — Ayo Mairo-Ese, reacting to the President’s remark that hunger in Nigeria existed before he was born.

@ChukwuderaEdozi I did not say anything!!! SMH!!!

Badagry. To get to the infamous Point of No Return, you must cross the Gbaji river by a rickety boat, powered by an engine that sounds like it was borrowed from a kitchen blender and the effete prayers of your sister. The pilot is a thirteen year old boy who looks like he's been doing this for a century. They give you a life jacket that has seen better days. Once you come ashore you are taken on a motorbike to the Atlantic Ocean. The bike sounds like it borrowed its engine from the boat you just escaped from. At some point you ask the 21 year old bike man if you can hold him, and he says yes. You hold his waist all the way to the ocean. It is hard to explain your feelings when you finally see the Point of No Return. To say you feel let down is an understatement, as you witness memory in ruins. The Point of No Return is more a living monument to our incompetence and grift than it is to the memory of millions of West Africans that left our shores, many of whom perished. Their memories deserve better than this. Perhaps everything is as it should be, perhaps trauma should not be memorialized outside the heart. But, we can do better. Why are we like this?

This man sang his mother into immortality with the simplest lyrics music has ever known He's so underrated 💔😢 If I have my way, any grp that sings "Sweet Mother", in any occasion, especially the Catholic Women Organisation (CWO) must pay royalty to the Mbarga family

@ChatGPT responds: Professor Mobolaji Ebenezer Aluko is currently based primarily in Ekiti State, Nigeria, where he serves in the administration of Governor Biodun Oyebanji. After a distinguished academic career in the United States—most notably as a professor and former Chair of Chemical Engineering at Howard University—and after serving as the pioneering Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University, Otuoke (2011–2016), he returned to public service in Nigeria. His recent roles include: * Director-General, Office of Transformation and Service Delivery (OTSD), Ekiti State (2019–2022). * Commissioner (and subsequently Special Adviser) for Infrastructure and Public Utilities in the Ekiti State Government under Governor Biodun Oyebanji. Despite his government responsibilities, Prof. Aluko remains intellectually active. He: * frequently writes and comments on Nigerian politics, governance, energy, and higher education; * continues to lecture at conferences and universities; * delivered the convocation lecture at McPherson University in early 2025. Many people also remember him for: * his pioneering work building the Federal University Otuoke from scratch as its first Vice-Chancellor; * his years as a respected engineering professor at Howard University; * his outspoken role in the Nigerian pro-democracy movement during the Abacha years while living in the United States.

@iOccupyNigeria @ikhide Monday Morning Quarterbacking from Mobolaji Aluko...where is he now? History Lessons from Nowa Omogui (RIP)

"When Bryce Martinez started feeling an aching around his heart, he thought it might be an asthma attack. But at the school nurse’s office, his blood pressure was found to be so high that he was rushed to the emergency room. There, doctors diagnosed him with Type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Bryce, then 16, was bewildered. He’d developed obesity early in childhood, but until that chest pain, had no other sign anything was wrong with his health. He hadn’t even realized kids could get Type 2 diabetes. Back home, he searched online for information about his illnesses, devouring news articles and videos. He learned that American children live in dysfunctional food environments, where the least healthy options tend to be the most affordable and accessible. That as parents took on more working hours, there was less time for cooking than in previous generations. That food companies filled the gap with convenient, ultraprocessed food, containing industrially manipulated ingredients that you wouldn’t find in home cooking. That these foods are often full of salt, sugar, fat and additives. Bryce was shocked that regulators didn’t vet all food additives for health and safety, and that companies could slap healthy labels on nutrient-bankrupt junk. Junk, Bryce realized, was a lot of the food he grew up on in Pennsylvania. Even the food that didn’t seem too bad. A bowl of cereal on the way out the door — marketed to kids, and sometimes advertising fiber and nutrients, but also high in sugar. At school, the lunches featured pizza, burgers and mac and cheese. Bryce’s parents tried to cook nutritious meals whenever they could, but they both had full-time jobs. When he arrived at home before his parents got off work, he’d pull a can or box from the cupboard or freezer to heat in the microwave — more mac and cheese or a ready-to-heat meal. Juice pouches washed the meals down. Some of the food he snacked on — chips, ice cream — appeared to be designed so that he couldn’t stop eating. He used to blame himself for that." - Julia Belluz Read: This Teen Took on a $10 Trillion Industry. We Might All Be Healthier Because of Him. nytimes.com/2026/07/27/opi…

If true, this is commendable. They are still poorly paid, the lowliest Nigerian lecturer should earn at least N2 million a month.
