Jumoke Olowookere's latest works are made from used vehicle tires painted in red, yellow and green. The creations join a collection of used plastic, cloth, wine corks, corn husks and other materials in what is called “Waste Museum” in Nigeria. Jumoke Olowookere的最新作品由用红色,黄色和绿色涂上的二手车轮胎制成。 这些作品在尼日利亚的“废物博物馆”中加入了二手塑料,布,葡萄酒软木塞,玉米壳和其他材料的集合。 Olowookere said the museum is the first of its kind in Africa. She is part of a growing number of Nigerians who are using waste material to make art and clothing. Their work calls attention to the damaging effects of waste on the environment. 奥洛克雷说,博物馆是非洲第一个同类博物馆。 她是越来越多的尼日利亚人的一部分,他们正在使用废物制作艺术品和服装。 他们的工作引起人们对废物对环境的破坏性影响的关注。 At the recent opening ceremony for the museum in Ibadan city, she said, “With the Waste Museum, we are showcasing the value of waste.” 在最近在伊巴丹市博物馆开幕式上,她说:“在废物博物馆中,我们正在展示废物的价值。” “We want people to see how waste can be turned into wealth. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that no waste goes into the landfill –– a zero-waste future is possible,” she added. 她补充说:“我们希望人们看到浪费如何变成财富。我们的最终目标是确保没有浪费进入垃圾填埋场 - 零浪费的未来是可能的。”Olowookere said she had the idea for a museum when she saw the amount of waste that came from her home. She started collecting the waste while reading up on how to reduce and recycle waste. Recycling is a process to make something new from something that has been used before. 奥洛克雷(Olowookere)说,当她看到家中的大量废物时,她有一个博物馆的想法。 她开始收集废物,同时阅读如何减少和回收浪费。 回收是一个从以前使用的东西中制作新事物的过程。 With support from the United States African Development Foundation, the Waste Museum was born.在美国非洲发展基金会的支持下,废物博物馆诞生了。 Olowookere said she collected waste material from people's homes for her works. And she also makes equipment for play areas for children at school, called playgrounds. Work from other artists is also shown at the museum. It includes furniture and housing material made from old car tires and jewelry produced from bottle tops. Olowookere说,她为自己的作品收集了人们家中的废物材料。 她还为学校的儿童游乐区制造了设备,称为游乐场。 博物馆还展示了其他艺术家的作品。 它包括由旧车轮胎制成的家具和住房材料,以及用瓶顶生产的珠宝。The “Waste Museum” also provides environmental education and helps women and youth from underserved communities with upcycling skills. Upcycling reuses waste material to create a new product. “废物博物馆”还提供了环境教育,并帮助来自服务不足社区的妇女和青年具有升级技能。 升级垃圾材料以创建新产品。Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer. Additionally, it has more than 200 million people. Plastic waste, like leftover bags, and food and drink containers, are commonly thrown into the streets and other public areas. Throwing waste into public areas and the environment is called littering. 尼日利亚是非洲最大的石油生产商。 此外,它拥有超过2亿人。 塑料废物,例如剩余的袋子,食物和饮料容器,通常被扔到街道和其他公共区域。 将浪费扔到公共区域,环境被称为乱扔垃圾。A lot of waste in Nigeria ends up in the waterways that lead into the Gulf of Guinea, an area in the Atlantic Ocean. That has led to concerns about the amount of plastic entering the sea. 尼日利亚的许多废物最终进入了通向大西洋地区几内亚湾的水道。 这引起了人们对进入大海的塑料量的担忧。 Olowookere told Reuters, "We have a long way to go to get to that sustainable world without waste. We need to get up and take responsibility for our waste. Stop littering the world with your waste.” 奥洛克雷(Olowookere)告诉路透社:“我们还有很长的路要走,而无需浪费。我们需要起床并为浪费承担责任。停止用浪费垃圾世界。”

Dominate Your Backyard: Why Local Marketing Drives Results

Sales For The Nigerian Wedding Industry

In today's hyper-connected world, it's easy to get swept up in the idea of a global market. With the internet at our fingertips, we often forget that for most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed professionals, business is primarily local. Think about it: Apple and Samsung can afford to think globally, manufacturing in Asia and selling in Africa. But for your average service provider or retail shop, your ideal customers are likely right in your neighborhood. The Local Reality Check Recently, a simple errand to my local shopping mart in Abuja provided a stark reminder of this principle. Needing snacks for the kids, laundry detergent, and toilet paper, I headed to the mart near Barcelona Hotel. At checkout, I noticed a flyer for a beauty/barbing salon located in Gwarimpa, a 30-45 minute drive from my location in Apo/Garki. This raised a crucial question: why distribute flyers in Apo when your business is based in Gwarimpa? For most service-based businesses, especially those requiring physical presence, few people are going to travel that distance for a first-time visit. The flyer would have been far more effective distributed within Gwarimpa itself. Why Local Matters * Proximity and Convenience: People are more likely to patronize businesses that are convenient and accessible. * Building Community Trust: Local businesses build relationships within their communities, fostering trust and loyalty. * Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Local buzz can generate organic growth and attract customers from wider areas. Consider the popular "Amala joints" in Gwarimpa like the restaurant called "Ojuelegba". Initially, people from Wuse 2 or Apo wouldn't travel that far for Amala. However, as these joints gained popularity within Gwarimpa, word spread, and now people from all over Abuja are making the trip. The Service Provider's Perspective Even with the internet enabling remote work, focusing on your local market first is crucial. As a sales coach and business development consultant, I could theoretically target clients in Ghana or Ireland. But trying to compete in established markets before dominating my local one is an uphill battle. Building a strong reputation and track record in Nigeria, specifically Abuja and Lagos, will create a foundation for future international expansion. Practical Tips for Local Marketing * Focus on Your Neighborhood: Distribute flyers, brochures, and marketing collateral in your immediate area. * Attend Local Events: Network with potential customers and partners at community gatherings. * Partner with Local Businesses: Collaborate with complementary businesses to reach a wider audience. * Utilize Local Online Platforms: Engage with local groups and forums on social media. * Optimize for Local Search: Ensure your business is listed on Google My Business and other local directories. The Bottom Line Don't fall into the trap of thinking your entire market is global. Start by dominating your backyard. There's no point in starting a real estate business in Victoria Island and dropping flyers in Ibadan. Focus on building a strong local presence, and the rest will follow. By prioritizing local marketing, you can build a solid foundation for long-term business success. Remember, sometimes, the best opportunities are right in your own neighborhood.

Get ready for another chaotic and hilarious episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest and #1 comedy podcast, hosted by Mayowa, Tmt, and Koj. In Episode 221: "Opeyemi Famakin vs David Hundeyin and Joey Akan vs The Alté-Right," the guys dive into everything from Yoruba culture to Twitter beefs and Lagos drama. The episode starts with Tmt confessing he wore the same outfit to a wedding on Saturday and a funeral on Sunday. This sparks a deep dive into Yoruba traditional attire, with the guys debating why the classic styles outshine modern interpretations. Mayowa takes us on a journey through the All Saints Church Yaba vs St. Jude's beef, before things heat up with a breakdown of the much-discussed feud between David Hundeyin and Opeyemi Famakin. Tmt recounts his run-ins with the FRSC and the Police, sharing the chaos and humor in his recent encounters. Meanwhile, the guest offers insight into the Nigerian comedy scene and what it's like dating as a comedian in Lagos—leading to a roasting session about Tmt's love life as he dramatically declares, “I'm serious now!” The guys also explore the idea of rebranding Submarine and A Roach as Nigeria's Joe Rogan podcast, which somehow ends with the roasting of Peter Obi and a hilarious reading of a Dele Momodu diss from Twitter. They shift gears to discuss dating Ibadan women, the Trevor Noah joke theft allegations and the eternal debate of marriages vs. being single—with Tmt hilariously coining the term “the punishment for being single is how expensive life is.” The conversation gets spicy with Joey Akan vs the Alté community, as Tmt unveils his concept of the Alté-Right and rallies his imaginary army. The guys unpack why Nigerians root for winners, how the Alté scene scaled despite critics, and whether people are too quick to dismiss the gray areas in debates. From Tech Cabal's coverage of bad news to casting for “Children of Blood and Bone”, Nollywood, custom pillows as Nigerian heritage, and the Mainland vs Island divide, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of roasting. The guys wrap it all up with a discussion about the fire at Bogobiri, their experiences watching comedy there, and an imaginary world where Dr. Umar becomes the President of the United States. It's unfiltered, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious—everything you expect from Submarine and A Roach! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

As a child growing up in Ibadan, Nigeria, Dara Treseder was often reminded to keep her feet on the ground. But her mother urged her to dream big and pursue her ambitions—especially if they brought her fulfillment. That encouragement propelled Dara across the world, where she attended both Harvard and Stanford, charting a path defined by her desire to make a positive impact.Dara's journey into marketing began after what she jokingly calls a “failed career in finance," including stints at Apple and Goldman Sachs. In 2020, she became the SVP and Head of Global Marketing and Communications at Peloton, cementing her place as one of the most influential marketing leaders of her generation. Today she is the CMO at Autodesk. In this inspiring conversation from 2021, Dara reflects on leadership, collaboration, and the power of building teams that drive meaningful change: “The best way to drive change is not to try to go alone. It's to do it with others.”

What kills more people than HIV or malaria? What threatens anybody on the planet – and not just people, but animals, too?It's antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the formal name for drug-resistant superbugs. These include bacteria that defy the effects of antibiotics, viruses that thrive in the face of antiviral drugs, and fungi that are immune to antifungal treatments.Each year, an estimated 7.7 million deaths are caused by bacterial infections, and nearly 5 million of these deaths are associated with drug-resistant bacteria. These infections include newborn babies, the elderly, and cancer patients, but also people who were young, fit, and healthy before they got infected.AMR is a major topic of discussion this year (2024) for the World Health Organization and it will take top billing at the United Nations General Assembly. To set the tone for all the discussion, the Lancet has published a series of four papers reviewing the problem and laying out some of the solutions. For the series, the One Health Trust's Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan brought together experts from around the world to address the issue. Dr. Iruka Okeke of the Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria helped write the first of these papers. Dr. Okeke, a bacterial geneticist, points out that antimicrobial-resistant infections can happen anywhere – in hospital patients, in people leading their everyday lives, in farm animals, and in nature among wildlife.It's important to use antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs properly, but also to make sure that people who need them can get the right antibiotics at the right time. It's especially important to keep an eye out for these drug-resistant superbugs, she said. Surveillance helps doctors know whether patients coming in can be treated with everyday antibiotics, or if they need special, usually more expensive, drugs.Skipping surveillance, she says in this episode of One World, One Health, is like playing tennis without keeping score. “If you play tennis and you are not keeping score, you are just practicing.”Listen as Dr. Okeke explains why we all need to do a better job watching out for these killer germs.Read more about the One Health Trust's work on antimicrobial resistance here.

Set in Colonial Northern Nigeria, this book confronts a paradox: the state insisted on its separation from religion even as it governed its multireligious population through what remained of the precolonial caliphate. Entangled Domains: Empire, Law and Religion in Northern Nigeria (Cambridge UP, 2023) grapples with this history to offer a provocative account of secularism as a contested yet contingent mode of governing religion and religious difference. Drawing on detailed archival research, Rabiat Akande vividly illustrates constitutional struggles triggered by the colonial state's governance of religion and interrogates the legacy of that governance agenda in the postcolonial state. This book is a novel commentary on the dynamic interplay between law, faith, identity, and power in the context of the modern state's emergence from colonial processes. Dr. Akande is currently an Assistant Professor in the Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Canada and chairs the international legal history project at the African Institute of International Law in Arusha. Previously, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies as an Academy Scholar from 2019-2021. She received her Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) degree from Harvard Law School in 2019 with her dissertation, “Navigating Entanglements: Contestations over Religion-State Relations in British Northern Nigeria, c. 1890-1978” receiving the Law and Society in the Muslim World Prize. At Harvard University, Dr. Akande held the Clark Byse fellowship at the Law School and was a Dissertation Fellow and Graduate Student Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. She also served on the editorial board of the Harvard International Law Journal. Prior to her graduate work, Dr. Akande obtained her Bachelor of Laws from the University of Ibadan, graduating with First Class Honors and at the top of her class.
