  • Before social media made Nollywood go viral, Osita Iheme (PawPaw) and Mr. Ibu had already put Nigerian cinema on the global map—especially in South Africa.

    According to Africa Fact Zone reports:
    “When Osita and Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki) visited in 2009, the love was so overwhelming that the police had to be called in to control the crowd! The streets shut down, and Nollywood’s influence became undeniable.

    In 2012, South Africa wasn’t just watching him—they were paying him. Vuzu TV handed him a $70,000 brand ambassador deal in just six months.

    Osita Iheme also stacked Multiple Awards too.

    Best Actor in a Comedy (AMVCA, 2014).
    African iKon Award (Uganda, 2024).
    Lifetime Achievement Award with Aki (AMAA, 2007).

    Before Netflix, before TikTok trends, before Nollywood had streaming power, Aki and PawPaw were already touring Sierra Leone, shaking up African cinema.

    This isn’t just success—this is legendary.
    Happy belated birthday to the African King of Memes, Osita Iheme aka Pawpaw who turned 43 years old on the 20th of February.

  • “Eating healthy is expensive”
    “I don’t have time to cook”

    STOP PLAYING CHESS WITH YOUR HEALTH

    Here are some cooking ideas to help you create quick healthy recipes.

    You can try on a go.

    The foods listed will help you:

    -Prevent unnecessary weight gain

    -Boost your mood

    -Revive your energy

    And make you feel good again.

    The key to healthy eating should not emphasize on “balance diet” in other words balance diet is an old paradigm that should be discarded for good.

    Because, “balanced diet” modeled around eating more carbs, less protein and fats.

    This is not a sustainable way to eat especially if you are seeking to lose or maintain weight and also optimize your micronutrients intake.

    So the most nutrient dense food should be your priority.

    They are(in order of nutrient density/availability):

    1. Meats:beef, chicken,goat meat, ponmo, turkey, rabbit, pork, wild game etc.

    2. Eggs(Any edible eggs available).

    3. Offals; Liver, hearts, intestines, and lungs of ruminants

    4. Seafoods: All edible fish in the order of nutrient density fresh fish>smoked fish>dry fish. Limit frying of fish; shrimp, prawns, crabs,oysters, sea snails, calamari etc.

    5. Seasonal fruits: mango, African star apple(udara), Avocado, among other seasonal fruits.

    6. Non starchy vegetables: Local vegetables; cucumber, garden eggs, tomatoes, green peas, green beans, bell peppers carrots, etc. Leafy greens; pumpkin leaf,garden egg leaf, spinach etc. Exotic vegetables; cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and Kale.

    7. Starchy vegetables: Grains; rice. Tuber; yam, potatoes, coco yam. Legumes; Beans, lentils.

    This category is where you should practice moderation and must be paired with any of the above categories.

    It’s very important not to forget the healthy fats category.

    Choose from: olive oil, coconut oil, beef tallow, Avocado oil(most in Nigerian markets are fake) lard, ghee, butter and pure palm oil.

    My Favorite quick combos.

    1. Yam and egg sauce

    2. 4-5 boiled eggs with mix vegetable sauce.

    3. 4 Egged omelette with mixed vegetables sautéed in olive oil on side.

    4. Any of yam or plantain porridge with smoked fish.

    5. Boiled Beef and Salt.

    You can also try rice with plenty of leafy greens and boiled eggs.

    Beans cooked with plenty crayfish and smoked fish.

    Any swallow of choice except semo and wheat(portion controlled) with plenty protein rich soups.

    Thanks for reading.

    *A PROSE OF AN OBSERVER ABOUT IBB BOOK LAUNCH*

    I have always said that if you stay alive long enough in Nigeria you will see devil exhumed from the grave and deoderised by Nigerians.

    IBB's book launch presented a perfect platform for such occasion.

    OBJ was there. Taking notes for his next book.

    GEJ was present. Looking clueless and neither here nor there as usual

    Gowon as usual dwelt on inanities.

    He eulogised IBB for restoring his rank yet unlike IBB is not bold enough to write his own book.

    Perhaps, Gowon is also waiting for his contemporaries to die before lying over their graves like IBB.

    and of course Bobo Chicago who claimed to fight for democracy but the current face of tyranny, evil and undemocratic practices was also there.

    The people who betrayed Abiola and urged him to Golgotha were there shining their rotten teeth in the glistening light.

    The picture represents the perfect problem with Nigeria.

    These were men who contributed in the ruination of a country.

    Nobody has bad word for IBB.

    Given time, he has transformed into the perfect General.

    He has become a hero and maker of men.

    But give to IBB, as a military leader he understood evil craftsmanship.

    He has dealt with rotten idiots who paraded themselves as Democrats so the audience before him were very familiar.

    One vital question.

    How did a man who did everything to destroy democracy suddenly became the beacon of democracy in Nigeria, to the extent that aspiring leaders visit his Minna Mecca to receive tutelage on leadership?

    There were also billionaires like Arthur Eze who is at best a nuisance in Igboland.

    There were Alakija. She was gifted with oil wells.

    There was Dangote etc.

    They all had good things to say about IBB.

    No mention of Dele Giwa.

    An unsung hero in a useless country.

    Moshood Abiola at least got 1 day named after him each year.

    That was enough price for dying for Nigeria and ruining his family and business.

    After all IBB was his dear friend.

    The billionaires claimed IBB made them.

    Thus, they rewarded him with about 16 billion naira for his library project.

    Laughable!

    All the Nigerian dictators own libraries.

    They gave back to him.

    IBB was a maker of men.

    By the way, Abacha also made some men.

    When will they stand up and speak for him or probably build a library for him?

    Buhari also made some men during his 8 years democratic dictatorship.

    He will likely receive his flowers and a library named after him.

    The Emilokrook made some men also as Lagos State Governor.

    We recall he rebuilt the house of our Prof Wole Soyinka who was so poor he couldn't afford to rebuild his house.

    In future the crooks he made will donate to his library.

    So YOU, where exactly are you in the scheme of things as a Nigerian?

    Your reward is poverty, hunger, unemployment, disease, homelessness, japa then heaven.

    I can only take one positive thing from the meeting.

    He took responsibility by admitting for the first time, that his friend, Abiola won the June 12 election.

    Sadly again, and deliberately not for forgetfulness, Humphrey Nwosu, the electoral umpire during June 12 who was brave to announce most of the results against military directive wasn't mentioned.

    Folks like Humphrey Nwosu doesn't fit the Nigerian optics.

    He was a gatecrasher to uncommon destiny.

    He lived in a wrong country among unclean people.

    He became part of the collateral damage.

    An unsung hero.

    As IBB admitted to Abiola's victory, 33 years after, I look forward to the day the dark Professor, Mahmood will develop the manhood to confess openly to Peter Obi that he rigged the 2023 election to favour the Chicago drug baron.

    I once said that even if devil appears physically in Nigeria that he would receive massive supporters.

    Nigeria is the seat of evil.

    It is a crime scene.

    It's not habitable for human beings.

    Living in Nigeria for far too long is capable of turning a saint to a devil.

    I am yet to see an African country were evil is celebrated and bad character rewarded such as Nigeria by Nigerians.

    It is one country I can tell you for sure that it cannot be redeemed.

    A country populated by religious maggots who spend billions of naira to visit Mecca and Israel yet return to Nigeria as agents of Satan to ruin their people.

    IBB is evil.

    But those who came after him were undiluted devils.

  • The Tulsa Race Massacre, often referred to as the destruction of "Black Wall Street," occurred in 1921, not in the early 1990s. It was one of the most devastating instances of racial violence in U.S. history. Here is a detailed account of the events:

    ### Background
    Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a thriving African American community known as "Black Wall Street" due to its prosperous businesses and affluent residents. The area was a symbol of black economic success and self-sufficiency in the early 20th century.

    ### The Incident
    The massacre began on May 31, 1921, and lasted through June 1, 1921. The catalyst was an incident involving a young black man named **** Rowland and a white woman named Sarah Page in an elevator. Rowland was accused of assaulting Page, although the details of the encounter remain unclear. Rowland was arrested, and rumors of a potential lynching spread.

    ### Escalation
    1. **May 31, 1921:**
    - A white mob gathered outside the Tulsa County Courthouse where Rowland was held, demanding that he be handed over to them.
    - A group of armed black men, many of whom were World War I veterans, arrived at the courthouse to protect Rowland. They were turned away by the sheriff but the presence of armed black men incensed the white mob.
    - Shots were fired, and a violent confrontation ensued.

    2. **June 1, 1921:**
    - The white mob, now numbering in the thousands, began attacking the Greenwood District.
    - They looted and burned homes, businesses, and churches. Private planes were reportedly used to drop incendiary devices on the community.
    - The Oklahoma National Guard was called in, but they reportedly assisted in the arrest of black residents rather than protecting them.
    - The violence continued throughout the day, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 300 black residents and the displacement of thousands.

    ### Aftermath
    - **Destruction:** Over 1,200 homes were destroyed, along with numerous businesses, schools, churches, and a hospital. The economic loss was immense, with property damage estimated at over $1.5 million at the time (equivalent to about $30 million today).
    - **Casualties:** The exact number of deaths is unknown, but estimates range from 75 to 300. Many victims were buried in unmarked graves.
    - **Displacement:** Approximately 10,000 black residents were left homeless and were forced to live in internment camps set up by the National Guard.
    - **Legal Aftermath:** No one was held accountable for the violence. Insurance claims filed by black residents were denied, and the city attempted to pass zoning laws to prevent the rebuilding of Greenwood.

    ### Legacy
    The Tulsa Race Massacre was largely omitted from local, state, and national histories for decades. It wasn't until the late 20th century that efforts to uncover and acknowledge the event gained momentum. In recent years, there have been calls for reparations and formal recognition of the massacre's impact on the black community in Tulsa.

    The massacre remains a poignant reminder of the racial violence and systemic inequality that African Americans have faced in the United States. Efforts to educate the public and honor the victims continue to this day.
