Food insecurity is not a technical gasp; it is a governance failure, and a justice failure. The cost of creating the risk should go towards the one creating it, not the one the risk is affecting. We have to center community voices and consent. @Nwankpa_A @NnimmoB

Food, Power, and the Politics of Hunger. Hunger politics is not about how many people are hungry? But why are people hungry? -@NnimmoB

Food is so important because it’s not just for filling the bellies, it tells a lot about who we are. If we talk of our favorite food, it tells where you are from, and one can guess who colonised you. Food can be weaponised. @NnimmoB

It's not just #dicamba & #glyphosate that the Trump administration have been busy boosting, they've also scaled back federal oversight of PFAS and even registered *NEW* PFAS-based #pesticides, despite the known harmful effects these forever chemicals have on health and farmland.

About 30 percent of Nigeria’s agricultural exports are being rejected at international borders due to quality and compliance issues, according to data from the Tropical Agriculture Platform. The high rejection rate shows persistent challenges in production standards, post-harvest handling, and export readiness, undermining the competitiveness of Nigerian agribusinesses in global markets. This trend erodes foreign exchange earnings and raises questions about value chain integrity, certification systems, and Nigeria’s ability to meet rising quality expectations abroad. Read the full analysis to understand what it means for Nigeria’s agribusiness sector and export agenda: businessday.ng/news/article/3…

How gas flaring turns Akwa Ibom’s oil communities into a furnace  premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines… “The communities … await a moment when someone in authority will decide that their lives are worth more than a burning stack.”

My brother, @mike_igini, nails it here: @SupremeCourtNg is the bane of credible elections in #Nigeria. As long as it continues on its existing trajectory of jurisprudence, no amount of new law can fix #ElectionRigging.

For the record, this is now the third time Nigerian courts have awarded damages against the Federal Government in my favour. A Federal High Court judge, Justice Anwuli Chikere, previously awarded damages against the @OfficialDSSNG after they illegally seized my phones during my unlawful arrest in 2019 over #RevolutionNow. Despite the judgment, they have refused to pay and have never returned the confiscated devices. In another case, a Federal High Court judge, Justice Egwuatu, awarded damages against the same lawless @OfficialDSSNG for abducting me inside a courtroom, an act that struck at the very heart of judicial authority. To this day, they have neither complied with the judgment nor returned my property. Yet these same institutions rush to the media whenever they obtain their “jankara” ex parte orders, demanding obedience and respect for court decisions they themselves routinely disregard. If the government expects citizens to honour judicial pronouncements, it must first demonstrate that it is not above the law. Selective obedience to court orders is the clearest sign of institutional hypocrisy and decadence. As for me, I will take steps to lawfully enforce these judgment debts. And when recovered, the funds will not serve personal comfort. They will be redirected to those who truly need support, residents of Oworonshoki whose homes were demolished, retired police officers, teachers abandoned in suffering, student activists facing repression, and others who continue to bear the brunt of state injustice. I must collect this debt!
