  • Nigeria has a culture of overreliance on imported products. Even though the nation is the most populated country in Africa, with manpower supply in abundance and arable land spread all over, the country manages to spend a whopping N3.1 trillion on importations of 4 major consumables annually. Pretty insane, right?

    The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, has thrown us another bomb; apparently Nigeria spends almost $20 million on toothpick imports annually.

    Let that sink in; $18 million on toothpicks.

    And that’s not all. According to him, the country also imports 5 million eggs per year from South Africa, and spends $600 million on fish importations annually.

    So you people don’t just want designer bags and shoes, you want Italian made eggs and fish too?

    The truth is, if we don’t learn to invest in local producers as a country, we may never stop these ridiculous importations. Nigerian-based producers also need to up their game and actually set standards.

    It makes absolutely no sense that Nigeria imports fish, eggs, palm oil, or leather when we have natural resources and manpower to produce and even export on a large scale. This was one of the reasons the current administration banned Forex access for importers of some products.

    Instead of stating problems and whining about the past administration’s failures, the government needs to invest in and support production of locally made products, because all this money we’re spending is too much jare.

  • Two years ago, talented Nigerian photographer and artist, Ike Ude, moved back  to the country and of course, he was captivated by the awesomeness that is Nollywood-the 2nd largest film industry in the world.

    In October of that same year (2014), he photographed and created stunning portraits of Nollywood actors, producers and directors, in a beautiful photo series aimed at celebrating the beauty of Nollywood

    This amazing work of art, ‘Nollywood Portraits: A Radical Beauty’, has gained recognition and will be showcased at the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago from October 20th of October to the 23rd of December.

    It’s amazing how Nollywood is gradually receiving all the recognition and exposure it deserves.

    You can watch his campaign video for the exhibition here.

  • So it was Nigerian music legend, King Sunny Ade’s birthday recently, and former vice president and presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar wished him a happy one on Twitter.

    Uncle Atiku even shared a throwback picture of himself in his groovy days.

    So Daddy Atiku was a baby boy back then?

    1. As you know, Nigerian Twitter had to chook mouth. This person thinks the picture is why he should be the next president.

    2. This person perfectly captures our reaction to the picture *hail!*

    3. Didn’t we just say he was a baby boy? This person agrees.

    4. This person speaks for all of us in this recession.

    5. Daddy Atiku must have been on high demand with the girls back then.

    6. But some people were only there to drag sha.

    7. And this very subtle bashing about oga Atiku’s physique.

    What do you think of this epic throwback?

  • You probably never thought you’d see a 25-year-old female become a local government council chairman in Nigeria, but Hindatu Umar just shattered that glass ceiling.

    Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, recently appointed Umar as the Chairperson of Argungu LGC, following the expiration of the former chairman’s tenure. Hindatu was previously the Deputy Chairman.

    However, there have been ridiculous complaints over the appointment, because Hindatu is a young single female, with only secondary school certification.

    If you’re familiar with Northern Nigeria’s culture of excluding women from political and economic discussions, you won’t find the outrage surprising. Northern states have high female illiteracy levels and President Buhari’s administration has been criticized for the low number of female political appointees.

    Hindatu Umar has broken a record, please join us in celebrating her.

  • If you live abroad and have pondered on how to keep your kids interested in Nigerian culture, this brilliant mother of two has come up with a solution.

    Gbemisola Isimi came up with a fun show idea when she realized that her 3-year-old daughter who loved to watch videos on her iPad, was not being exposed to Yoruba rhymes for kids, because there weren’t any available on Youtube. She started by translating the English nursery rhymes her daughter liked into Yoruba.

    Culture Tree TV (available on Youtube) aims to teach youngsters Yoruba by translating old English nursery rhymes and children stories into animated videos in Yoruba. Just look at these cute kids go!

    We hope Nigerian parents all over the world will take advantage of this fun platform to train their kids. We also hope to see Culture Tree Tv expand to accommodate as many Nigerian languages as possible.

  • Initially thought to be a Secret Service agent, Dr Oladotun Okunola, has been spotted alongside U.S presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton’s campaign trail.

    Following Hillary’s unfortunate stumble during the 9/11 memorial service, Dr Oladotun was one of the people who helped in restoring her health.

    Dr Oladotun, who was trained in Howard University, currently works in collaboration with Neuroscience Center of Northern New Jersey, to provide specialised care in epilepsy, clinical neurophysiology, and sleep medicine.

    Although Americans are currently raising questions concerning Hillary’s health, we couldn’t be more proud to see one of our own doing such a great job in saving people’s lives.

  • This nice Twitter user, @Goldenpolaroid, blessed us with adorable pictures of his parents celebrating their anniversary.

    This couple wants us to go and marry sha.
