Two interesting things I discovered this week are: 1. That you can get genuine court affidavits online from the Nigerian Federal High Court. A genuine one, not the ones those roadside people give you. The website has all sorts of affidavits, even ones I didn't know existed. 2. The National Population Commission has a working portal. You can register your newborn online and get a certified birth certificate that is accepted worldwide. You can do all these things without any bureaucracy. For 1, visit: portal.fhc.gov.ng/ For 2, visit: vitalreg-selfservice.nationaโ€ฆ Joseph Adedeji

Hey you! What you buy should never put your life at risk. From food and drinks to medicines and skincare, fake products in Nigeria threaten our health, undermine honest businesses, and erode trust in everyday purchases. Check product details, buy from trusted sources, and report suspected fake products to the relevant regulators. But the responsibility cannot rest on consumers alone. Regulators must act, and businesses must put peopleโ€™s safety before profit. #ConnectedDevelopment #ConsumerSafety #SayNoToFakeProducts #Accountability

Every child deserves to walk into a classroom equipped to learn and confident about their future. At Connected Development (CODE), we are turning that belief into action. Through our partnership with HumanX and YALI Network Abuja, our Back-to-School Community Initiative in Abuja is supporting students with school supplies and encouraging them to keep learning and dreaming. For us, this work goes beyond the items distributed. It is about supporting families, removing barriers to learning, and reminding children that their education matters. Watch this NTA report for highlights from the initiative and voices from the school community. #ConnectedDevelopment #HumanX #BackToSchool #EducationForAll

Thank you so much, Twitter! ANA Bites & Refreshโ€™s masa and zobo are already sold out. Itโ€™s not even 6 p.m., and weโ€™ve sold out of almost everything. Twitter always does it! These are some of the top reviews we got from people who reached out after seeing this tweet. Below are some of the top reviews from today. We hope to get even more orders tomorrow! ๐Ÿ“ž +234ย 707ย 125ย 4190 @Anabitesandrefresh on instagram ๐Ÿ“ Food Court, the New Mabushi bus terminal.
If you work in Abuja and want REALLY good jollof rice with beef for as low as โ‚ฆ2,600 or masa with beef for โ‚ฆ2,000, please send a DM to @Anabitesandrefresh on Instagram or WhatsApp 07071254190. They have more on the menu too! The idea is simple: working-class people deserve to eat good food without spending a huge chunk of their salaries on lunch every day. โค๏ธ
