It's silky glide down the throat, paired with bursts of flavor and heat dancing on the tongue as crunchy vegetables coupled with melt-in-bits tenderness of fish, beef or chicken fills the mouth, is the delightful culinary symphony of Aapon (Ogbono) soup. Yum 😋🍲

I grew up in a single mother household.
I grew up not wanting to do it all like my mum had to, but not knowing how to be vulnerable and ask.
Then I figured with a man who really cares, you won't have to ask.

The city states of the Yoruba: a history of pre-colonial West African urbanism (1000-1900 CE)

At the close of the 19th century, the Yorùbá region of South-west Nigeria was one of the most urbanized places in Africa.

Headdress (Ago Egungun) https://www.artic.edu/artworks/31581/

Egungun, a widespread Yoruba masquerade, is staged to honor the ancestors and the newly deceased, who continue to influence the lives of their kin. Organized at funerals, on family occasions, and during annual or biennial festivals, the different types of egungun are each associated with a distinctive cloth costume, some of which include a wooden mask or headdress. The tufted hairstyle of this example mimics the flap of a hunter’s cap that hides protective medicines.

There's a Yorùbá Proverb:

Abẹ́nilòrí ò ní gbà kí wọ́n gbé abẹ kọjá lórí òhun.

An executioner would panic at the thought of someone passing a razor blade over his head.

The reason colonizers are so afraid of immigrants is because they make the mistake of thinking that because all colonizers are immigrants, all immigrants are also colonizers. They think immigrants come with evil in their hearts, because colonizers come with evil in their hearts.

Sometimes the nicest people you'll meet smoke, drink and swear 🤬.
And some of the evil people you'll meet smile, use decent words and go to church on Sunday.

Okay, Simply put, having research based data can empower good faith actors to understand the situation & step into gaps to help the environment recover. And like I said, there's a peaceful feeling that comes with knowing you've done something that made a situation better for collective benefit.

😂 Most social contributions to Nigeria are thankless anyways.
I guess one would feel better with the knowledge that things are properly put for the next generation. I would really like to have information of what going on with the Nigerian environmental eco system. To know is to control afterall.

In life those who build are fewer than those who destroy.
A builder carries a vision that few can carry. A demolisher carries only envy and emptiness.
Creation is slow, destruction is quick.
If you seek to build.
An idea
A path
A space
Do not be saddened when the demolition gang arrives.

Pls enlighten me. I feel like we the people of Nigeria living in Nigeria don't even have an inclination of the state of our environment.
It's weird. I tried doing something to raise awareness for the sanitation of streams and rivers that run through urban areas & the response was really really low.
