[1] I dream of a Nigeria in which all our 36 state capitals have central business districts made up of towering office blocks built from glass.

[1] Do you know that jollof rice originated in Senegal? It is the traditional delicacy of the Wollof people who inhabit the country but alas, today, Nigeria has cornered the delicacy and made it her own
