ALT A film still from The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos. A woman walks through an enormous lot of broken furniture. It looks like it could be the aftermath of a natural disaster. She is wearing an orange tank top and a red patterned skirt, and she has a red patterned headband on. There are telephone poles visible behind her, and in the distance, outlines of tall buildings.

I can choose to show you things that isn't working, I can choose to show you how we're not happy with the economy. But I choose to show resilience, hope, and faith in a Nigeria that keeps striving, rising, and keeps believing in tomorrow.

Quick question, do we have an effective way forward to actually solving electricity problems as National Grid collapses every time. Looking at other backup options like green energy or wind energy? Or we just dey go one way like that till the world leave us behind? 🤔

The video is a montage of the natural Lagos lifestyle. With the ever developing city, the importance of documenting this shows how the city is changing but most importantly, the resilience of its people to cope with such changes. youtu.be/aMeu7NMZ0Vg?si=g1Dj…

There can be no durable peace if the natural resources that sustain livelihoods & ecosystems are destroyed.
Action on the environment must be part of conflict prevention, peacekeeping & peacebuilding strategies. #EnvConflictDay
