Two weeks ago, I was at a function somewhere in Lagos, my second since the lifting of the lockdown. Queer me. At my table was a 70ish looking elderly man who watched me as I was reading the pack of the Jameson Irish Whiskey set before us, our eyes met, he smiled.

He evidently is a connoisseur of good whiskey, and he regaled me with rich experiences from his bottlescapades. I told him I love great Coffee, but always fascinated by companies that have stood the test of time, like the Jameson Whiskey (240 years old).

It also helps me understand the socioeconomic evolution of societies to appreciate where we presently stand in history.

Driving Everyday in Lagos is Killing You

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.

The Power of Music


It was legendary Robert Nesta Marley who sang that "one good thing about music is when it hits you, you feel no pain". The powers of music is innumerable, especially its healing powers.

That was why Oliver Sacks, best-selling author and professor of neurology at NYU School Of Medicine wrote that "music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”

Zucked: the United States government wants to break up Facebook



Less than 2 months ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) smacked Google with an antitrust case.

In perhaps the greatest “hold my beer” ever, another government agency -- the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) -- just launched an antitrust case of its own against Facebook.

And, unlike the Google case, this case is aiming for a breakup of its Big Tech target, according to the New York Times.

More than 40 states will join in on the lawsuit.
