Nigeria spends close to $1 billion importing fish every year. Now, a $200 million World Bank commitment could help change that. But just how big is Nigeria’s fish supply problem? 🧵

Here’s the gap: 🐟 Annual fish demand: 3.6 million tonnes. 🐟 Local production: 1.4 million tonnes. That’s a shortfall of over 2.2 million tonnes. Nigeria simply isn’t producing enough fish to meet what the country consumes.

Ebola in Nigeria: what you need to know 🇳🇬 News of a confirmed imported case in the FCT has raised questions. What is Ebola, how does it spread, and what should Nigerians know? Let’s break down the facts without spreading panic.

Ebola spreads through direct contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person who has symptoms, or contaminated objects. It does not spread simply because you share a room with someone.

20.10.2020. A date Nigeria must never forget. On this day six years ago, the events at Lekki Toll Gate became one of the most painful moments in Nigeria’s recent history.

Nigerian music continues to push boundaries globally. But as conversations grow around Nigerian artists submitting their music for the 2027 Grammy Awards, one important distinction needs to be made. A submission is NOT a nomination. 🧵👇🏾

Submitting music means an artist or their team has put a recording or project forward for consideration in an eligible Grammy category. It does not automatically mean the Recording Academy has nominated or endorsed the artist.

“Are you the one paying my salary?” 😭 “If you know it, keep quiet.” “I’m waiting.” Every Nigerian student knows these lines. And somehow, years later, we can still hear our teachers saying them in our heads. 😂 A Teachers’ Day thread 🧵👇🏾

Then there was: “You will appreciate this when you are older.” “Your parents will hear about this.” “The exam is not going to be cancelled because you are not ready.” At the time? We rolled our eyes. Today? Some of them were actually right. 😭

From the Nigeria of 1960 to the Nigeria we know today, generations have watched our cities grow, our culture evolve and our ways of living change. But some things have remained. The creativity. The ambition. The ability to build something out of very little.
