The gaze of the old, it is said, is focused on the past, the young on the future. It is because of these perspectives that the old is sometimes unable to appreciate the future. I seem to remember that when I was young there was a greater variety of fruits, foodstuff then than we have at the moment. We seem to be forever hunting for and gathering fruits and food most of which we no longer have. Most fruits are tree crops and grew wild, except in the European quarters where mangoes, guavas, limes, lemons, oranges, African apples – a pink bell-shaped fruit – which we plucked. https://guardian.ng/opinion/nigerian-fruits-why-are-the-days-gone/ 23 Likes 4 Shares

It's really sad, bro.... Currently Holidaying in edo state. I realize that almost all houses in my village have graviola/soursop trees in their compound. This fruit is known to cure/prevent cancer and nobody is making effort to export them to Europe or America where cancer is prevalent 8 Likes |

Oil Oil makes for easy money. Oil is trouble Oil should be called black death not black gold Oil weakened innovation in the energy sector Oil has made a select few wealthy beyond imagination Oil has corrupted the hearts of the youth and ensnared the elders with its whispers of unimaginable and unquestionably wealth. Oil in Africa has brought nothing but misery. Take away our oil, we will suffer but we will be forced to survive. Oil has eaten the fruit of our land. 5 Likes |
