When food becomes poison
In Nigeria, the drive to cut corners has turned food and drink into vectors of illness, sacrificing health and heritage at the altar of profit.

"[...] Fruits are forced to ripen with calcium carbide, a toxic substance that has no place near human consumption. Cooking oils are recycled endlessly, breaking down into harmful compounds long before they reach the plate."

I'm so so happy for the continent for finding ]claiming] more independence of [neo]colonialism and of #FossilFuels. Grabbing the chance of not making the mistake of industrializing based on expensive oil.

With rising costs, and unreliable electricity supply from the national grid, many in Nigeria are turning to alternatives like solar energy. Despite the country having regular sunlight, solar power makes up less than 0.5 percent of its generation capacity in 2022. And now households and businesses are tapping into the power of the sun, to fill the energy gap."

The Nigerian export agency says 71% of Nigeria's leather products are exported to Italy and Spain. . . . The shoes, bags, and belts assembled from this leather will bear labels like "Made in Italy" but give no credit to the Nigerian workers who did the dirty first steps. . . .
The first step of the tanning process is called sanwa ko patoz. The workers soak hides in a mixture of ash, sodium chloride, pigeon droppings, and ram dung. This makes the hides softer and easier to peel, [tannery worker Aliyu Garba, called "Baba"] explains.

I made my first #facejug in 2019. I made a few at the time, left it for a while and now I’m returning to the idea. I have no training in sculpture so I feel like a beginner all over again when I make these. One thing that gives me courage to attempt them is that original face jugs from the US South are raw, folky and imperfect. But I’m also drawing inspiration from the Ife terracotta heads from #Nigeria which are incredibly skillful and naturalistic. Mine fall somewhere in between. #pottery
