Prof Uzo at the Lagos Business School is the only local academic I've come across that consistently engages with the Nigerian innovation economy. His latest publication provides unique insights into BNPL from interviews with 75 wholesalers and retailers. 1. It's not all…
I’m always coming up with new appetizers. I came up with an Ube dip that’s really nice with fried yam. Or bread with a fried egg. My guests love it

"Omo" is the most used word in my vocabulary. Suits every situation Tired - Omo Shocked - Omo Annoyed – Omo. Impressed – Omo Excited – Omo Surprised – Omo Scared – Omo
🇩🇪 Fully aware this is beyond my UN remit. BUT. As a conscientious European I ask: will anyone confront Germany for its POLICE’s shameful, sustained, and widespread violence that, after a year, reveals an institutionalized descent into repression? While too many Germans remain,…
This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza. Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.
