Thought-provoking insights from the one and only @stevoree ! As a renowned journalist, media consultant, author, and former Commissioner for Tourism, Arts & Culture in Lagos State, his words resonated deeply during the Unity Park, Ethiopia city tour. Some of the things he shared: - Reflections on culture, heritage, and the unity of Africa. - Insights into the power of tourism and the arts. - Appreciation for Ethiopia's rich history and beauty. - Appreciation of the impact of AFRIMA from inception till date. These inspiring toast should spark more conversations and ideas!  Let us know your thoughts in the comments section. #SteveAyorinde #UnityPark #Ethiopia #CulturalExchange

Emergency Landing: United Airlines is a Legacy Carrier; I Do Not Suspect Negligence - Okonkwo United Airlines reported a flight issue before its diverted flight from Nigeria to Washington, D.C. on Friday. This may be an isolated event. As per standard protocol, the pilot must have reported the issues with the plane to certified engineers, who should have satisfactorily addressed the problem before clearing the plane for takeoff. I commend the Nigerian aviation authorities, as well as the pilots and crew of United Airlines, for their professionalism, as the situation could have been much worse. Prof. Obiora Okonkwo Chairman, United Nigeria Airlines

Yet again, when it comes to authoritative journalism and commentary on Kemi Badenoch we have to turn to Nigerian media. Western media is still asleep. Warning: despite being totally factual, a lot of what is said in this clip could get you arrested if repeated in the UK.
3 Nov 2024
Nigeria's Sunday morning news shows were fantastically more open, honest and authoritative about the rise of Kemi Badenoch and the threat it poses than their British equivalents. Incomparably better.

Re: Netflix, @basket_mouth on Arise said some Nigerian producers would get money from these international streaming platforms for a movie & they’ll spend 10% on the movie - the rest will go to buy themselves houses and cars
