In this episode, we sit down with Diji Aderogba, a pioneering Nigerian filmmaker known for his powerful, thought-provoking narratives. Since his filmmaking journey began in 2016, after graduating from the Mainframe Film and Media Institute, Diji has been dedicated to bringing social consciousness to the big screen. Under the mentorship of African cinema legend Tunde Kelani, Diji learned that film is more than just entertainment—it's a mirror reflecting society's struggles and strengths. His breakout documentary 'Hidden Euphoria', which was nominated for an AMVCA award in 2020, captures the often-unseen resilience of Nigeria's Makoko community. This film marked the beginning of Diji's mission to tell the stories that matter.Diji's storytelling prowess continued to blossom in 2021 with the release of 'About a Boy', his debut feature film that won the Audience Choice Award at Nollywood Week in Paris. In this psychological thriller, Diji explores complex human emotions and mental health—a theme that resonates deeply with audiences who seek connection and understanding through cinema. For Diji, 'About a Boy' is a journey into the minds of people who battle inner turmoil, and his hope is that viewers come away feeling seen and perhaps even inspired to seek healing. He shares with us the challenges and triumphs of bringing this story to life, alongside his passion for using film as a voice for the voiceless.Beyond film, Diji has embraced social media to amplify his work and connect with his audience. He's not only a storyteller but also a brand influencer, blending his skills in street photography and digital marketing. His collaboration with Infinix, a popular smartphone brand, started from a simple tweet expressing his interest in working with a mobile phone company. A few retweets later, Diji had his partnership with Infinix, showcasing his keen eye for visual art in a way that bridges film and digital media. We delve into how he uses his platform to not just promote his work but also to inspire other young creatives who may be looking for unconventional ways to share their art.In our conversation, Diji reflects on the importance of his roots in Abeokuta, his artistic influences from childhood, and the role of culture in his work. His recent web series, *When Are We Getting Married?*, produced by #Filmtrybe, delves into modern relationships, sparking debates around marriage, partnership, and compromise. Diji shares the excitement of collaborating with writer Ife Olujuyigbe, whose script brings relatable, raw conversations to life on screen. Together, they've created a show that encourages viewers to question their own beliefs and societal norms. Join us as we explore Diji's journey, his vision, and the power of conscious filmmaking in today's world.Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Middlemen are intermediaries who facilitate business interactions for a commission, but in Africa their role is more complex. Africa's middlemen divide opinion on whether they are predatory rent-seekers or invisible but ever present cultural brokers who are actually crucial to the economy. We hear from local businessman Bola Omololu - based in Abeokuta, southwest Nigeria, and Tony Alabi an architect also based in Nigeria, in the commercial capital of Lagos. They share their experiences of interacting with middlemen. Cocoa farmer Dimeji Green holds middlemen directly responsible for the dire conditions of farmers in the multi-billion pounds industry whilst Josephine Favre of the African association of vertical farming thinks middlemen are actually necessary for the economy to thrive.

El Afrobeat, es un género musical que nació en Nigeria en la década de los 60' y 70' de la mano del gran Fela Kuti. Este género tuvo un gran éxito al combinar elementos de la música tradicional nigeriana como lo es el Yoruba y el Highlife; con elementos de jazz y funk. Fela Kuti es un personaje que no solo se estudia por su carrera musical, si no por ser un personaje que dio voz a los desposeídos de su nación, un rebelde cultural. Nacido en Abeokuta, Nigeria en 1938; provenía de una familia Yoruba prominente, militante del movimiento anticolonial. Herencia que se dejó ver mucho en las complejas letras de sus canciones, pensamiento y activismo político. Desde joven aprendió a tocar varios instrumentos y a finales de la década de los 60', después de haber estado en Estados Unidos viajo a Inglaterra para estudiar en la Trinity School of Music donde descubre otros géneros como el jazz, el bebop, la salsa y otros ritmos afrocubanos. Dentro de sus composiciones, Kuti mezclaba no solo ritmos musicales, sino también lenguas como el inglés, el yoruba y otros idiomas de nigeria y el Pidgin english (o inglés macarrónico); con lo cual pretendía resaltar la importancia del panafricanismo. Hoy escucharemos de Fela Kuti su tema Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am.

An unidentified body has been found on an electricity pole in the Kobape area of Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria. The corpse was discovered on Sunday by residents.No one could say why the man decided to climb the pole as he was not an official of an electricity-generating or distribution company.“We woke up this morning to see the corpse of a man on the electricity pole. The death of the man is mysterious. We didn't know how he died. Maybe he wanted to commit suicide or he wanted to steal cables, only God knows,” a resident, who craved anonymity, said.The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, has confirmed the incident to newsmen.When he was contacted, Oyeyemi said the man had attempted to steal electricity cables, dispelling rumour that he was on a suicide mission.“The man climbed the pole, possibly he wanted to steal the wires. I don't think he wanted to commit suicide, because he has cut some of the wires. If he wanted to commit suicide, he only needed to climb the pole and hold the naked wire. But, according to the information at my disposal, he has cut some of the wires. Maybe there was a sudden power supply when he was cutting the cables,” Oyeyemi said.The spokesperson revealed that the corpse has been removed by the police, adding that the case is still being investigated.

Oncotarget published this trending research perspective on June 22, 2021, entitled, "Association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and odds of breast cancer by molecular subtype: analysis of the MEND study" by researchers from Duke University, Durham, NC; University of Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria; Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria; University College Hospital, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria; UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, Chapel Hill, NC; Our Lady of Apostle Catholic Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL; University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. In this study, 555 Nigerian participants were assembled—of which 296 were confirmed breast cancer cases, and 259 were controls. The researchers collected clinical and reproductive characteristics of each participant, including the controls. In their first analysis, the researchers observed that newly diagnosed cases of Nigerian breast cancer were significantly more likely to have high levels of highly-sensitive CRP (hsCRP) compared to the controls. After adjusting for socio-demographic, clinical, and reproductive variables, the team still observed significant statistical significance for high levels of hsCRP associated with Nigerian BC. The findings from this cohort study also showed that high hsCRP was associated with a four-fold increased odds of BC. “We also provide novel evidence of associations between hsCRP and BC molecular subtypes, with significant associations observed for luminal A, TN, and HER-enriched subtypes.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2021/08/12/trending-with-impact-analysis-of-breast-cancer-in-nigerian-women/ Press release - https://www.oncotarget.com/news/pr/oncotarget-odds-of-breast-cancer-by-molecular-subtype-analysis-of-the-mend-study/ Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.27991 DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.27991 Full text - https://www.oncotarget.com/article/27991/text/ Correspondence to - Tomi Akinyemiju - tomi.akinyemiju@duke.edu Keywords - C-reactive protein, breast cancer, Nigeria, molecular subtype, menopausal status About Oncotarget Oncotarget is a bi-weekly, peer-reviewed, open access biomedical journal covering research on all aspects of oncology.

Three police officers working in Ogun state police command were unceremoniously kicked out of the service after they were caught extorting Onehundred and fifty-three thousand Naira from one Sheriff Adedigba. A statement from the police command's spokesperson, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, says the three policemen namely Inspector Sunday John, Sgt Jimoh Asimiya, and Sgt Solomon Adedapo, were alleged to have forcefully extorted the said amount from the victim while he was traveling from Abeokuta to Lagos. Oyeyemi said having heard about the incident on social media, the state's commissioner of police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, ordered the immediate arrest and detention of the officers involved in the dastardly act. The three policemen were quickly identified and apprehended. He said the money was recovered from them and returned to the victim. “The money was recovered from them and returned to the victim. They were subsequently arraigned for departmental orderly room trial on a three-count charge of corrupt practices, discreditable conduct and disobedience to lawful order.“They were found guilty of all the charges, and subsequently dismissed from the force to serve as a deterrent to others in their shoes,” the statement read in part. Oyeyemi added that the victim, who was also present to give evidence, was full of praise for the commissioner of police and the management team, for their prompt response to the incident, which he said rekindled his hope in the Nigeria police force.

Ogun State Government has denied rumbles it asked the popular Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho to battle with fulani herdsmen.The government made its point of view known in a statement made public by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Alhaji Abdulwaheed Odusile, in Abeokuta, the state capital, on Monday.Contending the news report credited to Hon. Remmy Hazzan, the Special Adviser on Public Communication to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Odusile noted that his (Hazzans) virtual interview with a reporter had been quoted out of context. . Igboho stormed Ogun on Monday afternoon, declaring war on killer herdsmen across the State.Yewa North and Yewa South in Ogun West Senatorial District have been the epicentres of herdsmen attacks, killings, maiming and wanton destruction of farmlands.Speaking with his supporters at the Ita Oshin junction, Igboho said he was heading to Yewaland to flush out criminal herdsmen.He said: “We observed there is injustice from the herdsmen because they are close to the FG. Any herdsman who engages in kidnapping should be flushed out.“Not only Igangan, we are going to visit all Yorubaland. I am going to Yewa because that is where the Fulani are wrecking havoc.“Let us thank the governor of the state. His love for people of Ogun State made him to allow us visit the state. If not for his love for the people of Ogun State, he would not have allowed us to come to the state.”Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Abdulwaheed Odusile, said that the state government, in its usual inclusive approach to governance, would continue to work with all the stakeholders, both within and outside the state, to ensure security of lives and properties.‘'Sadly, however, this statement was disingenuously twisted to mean that the State had invited Adeyemo to help curb insecurity. This is regrettable and totally misleading."“Prince Dapo Abiodun's administration, since inception, has been known to be inclusive in its approach, always collaborating and engaging with a wide range of stakeholders.“Security is no exception, resulting in the achievement of the enviable status and recognition as most secure state in the country by many organisations.”He added: “For avoidance of doubt, Ogun State Government will continue to deploy all constitutionally sanctioned means to fight crimes and criminals in the state, including working with institutions that the constitution and other statutes have saddled with the responsibility of protection of lives and properties.“At all times, the Government will ensure that all security agencies and indeed all stakeholders operate within the ambit of the law and will neither welcome nor endorse any initiative that amounts to self-help or is outside the contemplation of the constitution, which is the ground norm binding on all governments and persons in the country.”The Government advised the residents to continue to go about their normal businesses, the statement concluded.

Residents of Ketu-speaking villages in Yewa North Local Government Area, Ogun State were intimidated by soldiers who escorted herdsmen to graze in the communities. The Fulani Herdsmen crisis remains a major problem in Nigeria.The commotion has forced traditional rulers in the affected communities to write a save-our-soul petition to the Nigerian Army authorities demanding protection from the harassment of soldiers and herdsmen.According to The Nation, one of the victims is Seye Mulero, who was severely injured in Ubeku village in Yewa North and is currently receiving medical treatment.The herdsmen, who had left the village after the villagers rejected their continued presence, suddenly resurfaced at about 2 pm on December 19, 2020, with a handful of soldiers from the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta.The soldiers headed straight for the palace of the community's traditional ruler, Chief Olaleye Adigun, calling out the villagers and warning them against preventing the evicted herdsmen from returning to the village.In the middle of this strange encounter, Mulero told the soldiers that the herders would not be allowed to remain in the community because of their brutal killing of residents and the destruction of their farmlands in recent times.Mulero said, “Everyone was frightened by the action and utterances of the soldiers, but I summoned the courage to tell them how a Geography teacher Mr. Yomi Akinola and two students of Community High School, Ibeku, among others, were killed by the herdsmen while our women were raped and killed on their ways to the farm.”But Mulero and Ubeku village were not the only person and area that tasted the bile of the soldiers who escorted the herdsmen in a military patrol van from one village to another. Innocent indigenes of Iselu, Ibeku, Agbon-Ojodu, Asa and other villages were also harassed and assaulted by the soldiers at the instance of the herdsmen.After leaving Ubeku, the herders and the complicit soldiers moved to neighbouring Asa, where they reenacted the Ubeku scenario, causing the hapless villagers to panic.At Asa, the herders sighted Mulero's brother, Gabriel Mulero, accusing him of being among the crowd that jeered them after his brother was beaten up.There and then, the soldiers seized the young man, giving him some deafening slaps and kicking him mercilessly before whisking him away to a neighbouring village, Agbon-Ojodu, where they dropped him off after elders of the community pleaded for his release.Worried by the development, monarchs of the affected communities petitioned the Nigeria Army over alleged connivance of its men with herdsmen to assault and harass villagers.The monarchs are the Oniggua of Iggualand, Oba Micheal Adeleye Dosumu; the Eselu of Iseluland, Oba Akintunde Ebenezer Akinyemi; and the Alademeso of Igan Alade, Oba Gabriel Olukunle Olalowo.The petition titled ‘matter of urgency' dated January 7, 2021, signed by their lawyer, Mr. Olaoluwa Folalu, was addressed to the Brigade Commander of 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta.

Africa's largest e-commerce merchant, Jumia Food has expanded its food delivery service to five other states in Nigeria . The new cities are Minna, Benin City, Kaduna, Abeokuta, Kano, and Ilorin.Chief Executive Officer, Jumia Nigeria, Massimiliano Spalazzi, said the extension of Jumia Food to these additional cities is part of Jumia's resolve to expand the growing popularity and thrilling experience of online fast food services to customers in all Nigerian states.“The food industry is very relevant to the Nigerian economy. With today's covid-19 realities, the growing popularity of fast food, coupled with the growing trends for convenience, safety and value for money, has opened up opportunities for the food market in Nigeria. As the leading online marketplace in Nigeria and Africa, it comes naturally to us to help drive the penetration of this service through our technology and reach of our logistics network. By doing this, we are also helping to explore the food segment of the Nigerian Agricultural sector which has the potential of huge contribution to the Nigerian economy,”he said.In 2020, Jumia had a major service improvement in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Ibadan routes by increasing its speed of delivery, with an average delivery time as fast as 26 minutes in Port Harcourt, 27 minutes in Lagos, 28 minutes in Ibadan, and 30 minutes in Abuja.Jumia's 2020 Nigeria Food Index report showed that the country's agricultural sector experienced a major boom in 2019, significantly responsible for the 90.23 percent contribution made by non-oil sectors to Nigeria's GDP.The inventory further showed that the food and grocery retail market had total revenues of $44.9 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7 percent in the last eight years. The report also showed that overall grocery retailing continues to expand, as consumers seek comfort and convenience when shopping for food. Food subsection alone made $33.7 billion in profit, equivalent to 75 percent of the market's overall value.

Nigeria's turbulent and hamstrung history has plenty to tell us about the current malaise. And, as says writer Maya Angelou, "If you don't know where you have come from, you don't know where you are going." That is what Nigerian authors Feyi Fawehinmi and Fola Fagbule had in mind when they wrote Formation: The Making Of Nigeria from Jihad to Amalgamation.Likewise the former US Ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell, with a new book Nigeria and the Nation-State: Rethinking Diplomacy with the Post-Colonial World, says that if you want to reform Nigeria, you have to understand the forces that shape it.From the early 1800s, when Usman Dan Fodio created his Caliphate in Sokoto, through the flowering of city-states like Abeokuta -- famous for producing so many of Nigeria's elite politicians and cultural icons from Olusegun Obasanjo to Fela Kuti -- to the eventual hitching together of the Northern and Southern Protectorates into the formation that is now known as Nigeria.A conversation with the authors, Patrick Smith and Nicholas Norbrook.

Tajudeen Idris, 47 year old was on Friday, arrested by the men of the Ogun State Police Command, while parading himself as a lawyer, before a Magistrate Court in Ogun State.Idris was detained when he appeared before Chief Magistrate I.A Arogundade, in Ifo, in a civil trial between one Ifeanyi Chukwu and Ayo Itori.In a statement by the the Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun state , Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Chief Magistrate became suspicious of the suspect as a result of his conduct and presentation before him.The suspect told the Court that he was called to the bar in the year 2009 when asked. However, his name was not among those that were called to the bar that year.The DPO of Ifo Division, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle, was alerted and the suspect was immediately apprehended for further investigation.Antway, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Ajogun has expressed concern about the increase in the number of people impersonating lawyers in the Country.Oyeyemi said: “The CP recalled that not less than five cases of fake lawyers have been reported since his assumption of office in less than two months ago.“On the 12th of August 2020, a 56yr old Sylvester Ogbagu was arrested at Shagamu while parading himself as a lawyer, another fake lawyer Adedeji Ebenezer was apprehended in the Court premises at Itori on the 5th of August 2020 while appearing for a client as a lawyer, he was tried and subsequently sentenced to 3 years in prison.“Another fake lawyer, Elijah Ayodeji Ojo was also arrested in Ajuwon police station on the 28th of June when he came to solicit for a so-called client who was having a criminal matter with the police. Likewise, one Lawrence Oyedunu who was arrested in Sango Ota while presenting himself as a counsel to a suspect.”The CP, therefore, called on the state branch of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to put necessary machinery in motion to checkmate the activities of these fraudulent people.He also appealed to those who wish to be a lawyer to take a cue from the determined effort of a traditional ruler in the state “the Towulade of Akinale who at 75yrs of age still endeavours to go to law school because of his interest in the legal profession rather than impersonating.” It is not clear if this is the same Abeokuta-based lawyer, Idris Tajudeen Olufemi who was arraigned in the year 2014 before a Magistrate Court sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta for alleged N13million fraud. The money was said to belong to his clients.

Oyindamola Asaaju has 4 years of progressive experience in the agricultural business industry. She holds a bachelor's degree in home science and management from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and also a Masters in Business Administration. She worked with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) youth in the Agribusiness office as Team lead where she coordinated all activities from production to processing to capacity building. She now serves as Founder and CEO of Farm Republic, an Agribusiness Startup based in Lagos established in 2018 with the aim of creating market solutions for farmers using technology. Below is the summary of the interview Cashing Out As A Farmer with Oyindamola Asaaju While recalling childhood memories she spoke about her plans to become a nutritionist at a time but this was not possible leading to her studying home science and management. She shared her passion for kids in rural communities lacking social amenities and how she had been able to support people in such cases. She recounted that her love for Agriculture had started while working at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture where she saw that there were many opportunities in the Agricultural space. Seeing this she began by meeting with people doing well in the field and in other African countries after which she became inspired. Now she manages farms for people and deals with crops and livestock farming. She revealed that if one is to be a farmer they need to be informed on what to plant, when to plant and how to plan. She said it was important if one is to produce according to the market demands and avoid wastage while reiterating that market information was very important for farmers. She said it was also important for farmers to understand that agriculture is more than a hobby as it is a business with different areas to it. She said that before going into agriculture one needs to study their environment. Beyond having a piece of land or an idea of farming one needs to know how it is set up. She maintained that farming was a very lucrative business if one had the right technical expertise. She spoke on the common challenges farmers face like lack of market information, bad roads that make it difficult to move their produce as well as a big gap in storage facilities. For farmers who are just getting to start their business she advised against taking loans but they should instead start with what is available. This she said was not advisable, as most banks would shy away because of the risk involved and so she was of the opinion that farmers should have insurance instead of taking loans. With respect to climate changes, she advised farmers to begin to look at irrigation systems, as the rains were not predictable anymore. She shared her tip on managing losses saying that farmers could look into processing their produce and when they are not able to sell their cassava, for example, they could process it into garri or fufu. To people looking to go into farming, she advised that they have to first know the aspect of agriculture they would venture into and then they can begin to look out for experts in that area. Speaking on innovations made possible with technology she cited successes in genetics technology which speeds up the growth of cocoa seedlings from 4-5 years to 18- 24 months. She also mentioned the innovation of soil-less farming which allows crops to be grown in the air this she said has helped to minimize farming space.
