NIGERIANS ARE NO LONGER READY TO BE INTIMIDATED BY POLITICAL THUGS!
This has nothing to do with foreigners and these people know exactly what they're up against.
Cutlasses, axes, pitchforks, and numerous other weapons you won't see on display here until 2027. That's how Nigerians are preparing for elections in the 21st century.
This is what happens when a nation is owned 1000% by foreign interests and the people are intentionally and consciously pushed to the wall.
2027 isn't an election year. It's a violent revolution year.

My first concern was the Obi ppl would be caught by surpise by Tinubu shenanigans like the last election. Clearly they're ready now. My second concern the the level of state capture Tinubu has done with blackmailing governors and stuffing INEC and the courts with his ppl
You see how the second Asaba rally was not attacked?
If Good men are not skilled in violence, bad men will become fluent at it.

That is actually how Igbo is taught at Kedu Igbo language school which can be found at kedu.me and was started by @ShellMedicine
Glad SM is discovering Benin Rep. ppls skill for building. My uncle rents houses to groups of them in my village and they build a lot of the homes in the east. Very skilled and hard working people.
Benin has been building some of the most incredible structures across West Africa, and this one is made of earth.
The Mami Dan Temple of Toligbé Cultural Center stands in Ouidah, designed by Maison Bignon Sossou, led by architect Bignon Sossou. It covers 770 square meters. Curved earthen walls and still water basins reinterpret Vodun cosmology, so the building feels more like a vessel than a box.
It's also described as working with the climate. The thick walls are compressed, stabilized laterite earth, which holds the day's heat and keeps the chambers cooler. Pools in the shaded courtyards cool the air as the water evaporates. The materials are regional laterite soil, hand-fired terracotta and local hardwood.
Earth, water and shade doing the work, in a place built to honor what our ancestors believed. This is what a sacred space looks like when we trust our own materials.

Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
I first read this book about three years ago, and I remember how vividly its imagery stayed with me. The color green, in particular, lingered in my mind's eye long after I finished reading.
Rereading it over the past few days was an even better experience. My interest and fascination with the story haven't faded one bit.
The main character is a young girl whose life takes a drastic turn after encountering an alien seed. It's a magical yet deeply human story, especially when you consider how many people in this world have had their lives permanently changed by a single, inexplicable encounter that altered the course of their fate.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. On to the next!
Binti: Home by Nnedi Okorafor
Ah, Binti: Home, book two in the trilogy. Sigh! What can I really say beyond the fact that reading this one was such an immersive experience? Every time I had to step away to attend to other things, the pull to get back to reading as soon as possible was so strong.
I especially loved how Nnedi Okorafor stepped away from conventional chapters with this one. The main character's struggle with the different layers of her emerging identities felt so... authentic. In fact, I gave her a name, OKALA NAATO, like the Afa code, not Okala Naabo, because by the time we get to the end of the book, there are more than two selves pulling at her, each demanding to be acknowledged.
As I've said before, Nnedi Okorafor's worldbuilding abilities are those of a master storyteller. The way she brings these worlds, cultures, and experiences to life is something I deeply appreciate.
I'm eager to get into the final book in the trilogy.
On to the next!
