Nigeria grows 63 million metric tons of cassava (also known as yuca or manioc) every year, but most of the country's supply is eaten locally as fufu or garri. Experts say Nigeria could be missing out on billions in exports of lucrative cassava products like bubble tea pearls, starch, or ethanol. Challenges along the country's entire supply chain have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in cassava spoilage. But one entrepreneur, Yemisi Iranloye, thinks she has the solution. She's introduced higher-yielding seed varieties and moved processing plants closer to farms. Now, her farmers earn four times more for their product, and her cassava starch and sorbitol have landed her clients like Nestle and Unilever. Could Yemisi's model be the way for Nigeria to feed itself and cash in on exports?

Vatican's Blessings For Same-Sex Couple Faces Resistance in Nigeria

Despite the Vatican's approval of blessings for same-sex couples, gay Catholics in Nigeria, where same-sex relationships are criminalised, anticipate slow acceptance.
People believe it might take 20 to 30 years for local bishops to embrace the Vatican's decision.
Conservative Catholics in African nations, including Nigeria, reject the ruling, asserting that blessing same-sex couples is optional.
Pope Francis defends the declaration, emphasising inclusiveness, but Father Patrick Alumunku from Nigeria's capital, Abuja, clarifies that it doesn't necessarily imply eventual acceptance of same-sex unions in the church.
