Angles shooting practical. This was self filming. No second party...I titled it "The Stroll", uploaded under ECAF Studio. The title plays a symbolic role in the act; a time taken to discover the extensity of filmmaking both indoor and outdoor - the time is demands, just so a beautiful picture can be created.

The 45 years old twitted few hours ago saying "not sure anyone have heard but I [have] resigned from Twitter", along with an attached letter of resignation.

This act and protesting led to the interference of international communities kicking against the government.

Another clash with the Nigerian government was when he pulled down the threatening tweets of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, insighted against the Citizens. This led to the ban of Twitter in the country.

Driving Everyday in Lagos is Killing You

image source: qz.com

I have been thinking of the health implications of daily driving in Lagos, and how this city is killing its own in installments.

Maybe you've not heard of the saying that sitting is the new smoking meaning that your health can get messed up as smoking does just by sitting. But the worst form of sitting is commuting.

And there are very few places on earth that competes with Lagos in notoriety when it comes to crazy traffic.

Every morning as I drive out, I see people dozing behind the steering wheels because most of them got home few hours before. I watch women apply make-up, shouting at kids at the back seat, while still navigating traffic. Many have their breakfast and dinner while driving.

Cryptocurrency: Why Bitcoin is top of the most searched words by Nigerians

Nigeria is 8th in crypto adoption globally, transacting $43m during the lockdown.

One major driver of crypto adoption in Nigeria is the growing number of tech savvy young people in the country, and also lack of trust in the government's capability to manage the economy well, so people hedge against inflation to avoid "stories that touch".....such as N500 pot of soup for a family of five.

Despite being the largest market for Noddles in Africa, Nigeria is now 11th in Noddles consumption globally. But how?

I still remember when the Indonesians first brought Noddles to Nigeria around 1996 and they were giving it for free to people to try and see if they will like it, over two containers were given out, they waited, and waited for feedbacks. Nigerians ate, enjoyed it, but forgot to give feedback. Until they started asking if they can get some more of that thing because the children seem to like it a lot.

"Nigeria is a sinking ship being navigated by pirates." - Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okojie

CORRUPTION AND NIGERIA’S UNCERTAIN FUTURE
As we look into our uncertain future, its uncertainty is compounded by the disturbing conduct of Nigeria’s political elites. At this point in time, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to differentiate between politics and criminality in Nigeria. Politics in Nigeria is divorced from morality. That is why we hear of huge sums of money getting into wrong hands. What we have is not politics of the common good but politics of selfish interests. And its agents in every government are going scotch free.
