Yet some people say Kwankwanso is a descendant of Yorubas that settled in Kano. You know a major compound in Kano was established by Yorubas. This is also true for most Northern cities

As the year slowly wind down and the newly enforced Tax policy takes effect in January.

I felt the need to do a video explaining 6 types of narration to use when intending to send money or someone intending to send you money or even moving money around into different accounts for investment.

These narrations/remarks are necessary so when you get caught up in Tax issues, upon which your bank account gets audited by the Tax officials, you won't get over taxed due to the fact that your past transactions were labeled.

Don't forget to subscribe after watching the video.

Seun Kuti Response To Wizkid After Calling Him A Hungry Bastard...

“You have used my dad’s name to feed your family for years.

He paved the way for you, dwarf.
Wizkid, I’m not scared of you.

You don’t make better music than me—everybody knows your music is wack.

That’s why you’re beefing Davido, just to stay relevant.

First of all, clean my dad’s tattoo off your dirty body.” - Seun Kuti replies to Wizkid as both continue dragging each other online.

TechToyin:
Many people are happy that food prices are coming down. On the surface, it looks like good news. But there is a serious danger most people are not talking about.

Cheaper food is good for consumers, but not always good for farmers
While buyers enjoy relief, many farmers are selling at a loss.

Cost of farming is still very high
Fertilizer, diesel, transport, labour, and insecurity are still expensive. Prices fell, costs did not.

Farmers are losing capital
Most Nigerian farmers use money from the last harvest to fund the next season. Losses now mean no money later.

Many farmers may not plant next season
When farmers cannot afford seeds, fertilizer, or labour, they reduce production or quit entirely.

This leads to future food shortages
Less planting today means less food tomorrow, which will push prices up again.

Nigeria has no strong price support system
There are no effective minimum price guarantees or working buffer stock programs to protect farmers.

Poor storage forces distress sales
Because farmers can’t store food, they rush to sell during harvest when prices are lowest.

Middlemen and traders also suffer losses
Oversupply and weak demand affect the entire value chain, not just farmers.

Price instability scares investors away
Serious investors avoid agriculture when prices swing wildly from profit to loss.

Low prices today can mean hunger tomorrow
If farmers collapse, Nigeria will depend more on imports and face worse food inflation later.

Bottom line:
The problem is not high prices or low prices. The real problem is unstable prices.
If Nigeria does not protect farmers now, today’s cheap food will become tomorrow’s food crisis.

Of course.... That's a cool alternative

But hope it's Iru Ekiti.... My state is prided for having the best Iru in the whole of SW .... I stand to be corrected tho

Dorwadora:
We Yoruba call it Iru or Eware and in almost all our soup it's a compulsory ingredients. Efo riro, ila or ila alasepo, Ewedu or Ewedu Alasepo, gbegiri, Egusi, Obe isapa and many others. This Iru must be added to bring out the life of the soup.

Do other tribes in Nigeria use this ingredient and what's it called in your dialect?

Nigerians in diaspora, do you get to use Iru in your soups too?

I believe that in the next 10 years or more, social media addiction or excessive usage could be listed among mental illnesses, just like gambling was. Most antics on social media today are about rage-bait — people want to attract the most attention from their communities and the public at large. The fact that social media platforms now pay users who generate massive traffic has made things worse. Everybody is now a content creator. Even some of our grandparents are picking up cameras to dance and post for views. The gratification involved encourages the madness we see today. If money is coming in, shamelessness feels justified.

Four people need to take a back seat on social media for a while: Seun Kuti, Kemi Olunloyo, Doris Ogala, and Daddy Freeze. These individuals are influential people, but you can tell they are doing too much. Particularly, Nollywood actress Doris Ogala and Kemi Olunloyo seem to need help. When I see their content, I feel for their family members. It may be entertaining to watch a mentally challenged woman dance in a market if she is not your family member.

Seun Kuti has been talking too much on social media in the name of activism. He ruthlessly comes for everybody in a brash manner. His words are like arrows, and they are sometimes justified. But like most constant talkers, he often goes overboard out of desperation to beat his previous post views. People want to set records and dominate the media space. Seun needlessly referenced the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, and the video went viral. He was applauded as a fearless warrior unafraid of confrontation.

Seun, 43, has also been going after Wizkid FC — a faceless group of fans supporting the popular singer Wizkid. A group that could easily be ignored, but Seun relished the sparring sessions on social media. Indirectly, he was creating content and keeping his name in circulation. That is the aim of most celebrities who leak lewd content to trend online and later deny it. Seun was rubbishing Wizkid, and he knew it. He went too far when he made a video claiming Wizkid didn’t care about Wizkid FC, adding that if Wizkid truly cared, he would have come to their rescue. He even said he would fight dirty if someone who mattered to him was being ridiculed. Meanwhile, Wizkid watched from a distance, probably with long wraps of Indian hemp in both hands.

Then one day, Wizkid decided enough was enough. He came for Seun directly. He hit below the belt by calling him a beggar who wanted a gift from him, like the one he got from Burna Boy. He insulted his wife, calling her 'uguly' and ultimately said he was bigger than Seun’s father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. I believe Wizkid didn’t truly mean that. He tattooed Fela’s face on his forearm and has always idolised the widely acknowledged founder of Afrobeats. But he needed to hurt Seun, and it worked. The usually shirtless Seun screamed across social media.

Social media users immediately missed the point. They focused on who was greater between Fela and Wizkid. It was no longer about the beef. If Seun had shown maturity, his father’s name would not have been dragged into it. Wizkid’s younger fans know little about Fela. They don’t care about history — the present is what matters to them, and that is where Wizkid lives. The argument will never end. Only older audiences defended Fela meaningfully and factually; the rest were just making noise.

Seun is not Fela’s only son. Femi Kuti is also there — an honourable man who conducts himself well and speaks brilliantly on national issues. If Seun had ignored a faceless group online, mutual respect between him and Wizkid would have been preserved. Seun’s social media activism is even more interesting when you consider that he once slapped a policeman in Lagos and escaped punishment. If he had done that abroad, he would have faced serious consequences behind bars. That is non-negotiable.

I hope Seun learns from this and thinks twice before posting on social media. Nowadays, madness is free — but some people cure madness with madness. You don’t always have to learn the hard way.

It is not often that a Nigerian soldier is able to capture a firefight involving infantry, tanks and major firepower, so when this video clip arrived in my news feed, I had to share it on the Nairaland forum for the viewing pleasure of my fellow armchair generals in the house. If you listen carefully you will hear the whistle of incoming rounds whipping past the cameraman's head as he bravely records the chaotic firefight.

Sit back, and enjoy the fireworks, but while you see the brave men of the Nigerian army lock horns with a determined and well funded enemy, remember that this is no movie, and that when the smoke clears, a few Nigerian soldiers will have paid the ultimate price, and thus made the ultimate sacrifice for their fatherland.

Popular Nollywood actress, Nancy Isime has revealed the type of man she would like to marry, disclosing that character is more important to her than material things.

In a candid conversation with media personality, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Isime stated that kindness is a non-negotiable trait for her when it comes to choosing a life partner.

The movie star explained that she doesn’t mind marrying a man who is kind regardless of their status or any other deficiency as she believes that they can be corrected.

Isime said she is ready for marriage, emphasizing that she is now 34 years old.

“I am of marriage age. I am 34. Yes, I am a very attractive lady and men can desire me. But I have to choose what I settle with. First of all, I like kindness. I find kindness one of the most attractive traits.

"Before you can be my friend or even relate with me, not to talk of getting married to me, you have to be kind. And I don’t mean performative. I mean genuine kindness. Once you are kind, everything else can be worked on,” she said.
