Afro-Brazilian architecture: a fusion of cultures.
Unique to Abeokuta, the return of those once enslaved resulted in the creation and the development of the Yoruba Africa-Brazilian style, wich appropiated and integrated Yoruba homes in a hybrid that reflected and physically accomodated old and new cultural practices.
Syn. Angraecum bilobum. These were thought by growers to be parasitizing and killing their trees. Our conclusions were that the orchids were just finding brightly lit places to grow; termites and phytophthora were killing the trees.

In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The WeMUNIZE program was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants. It is implemented by local technology start-up Black Swan Tech Ltd through USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program led by Jhpiego.
Faced with limited local record keeping and low levels of literacy and connectivity, the WeMUNIZE program uses a combination of digital record keeping and community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. For families participating in the WeMUNIZE program, dropout rates have fallen to below 10 percent.
The project recruits primarily women for their team of trained volunteers and supports them with free mobile phones, empowering women to help their communities and overcome social barriers.
Thanks to its coordination with the Government of Nigeria, the project shares the immunization data generated to improve stakeholder coordination and transfers ownership to the state government to build local capacity.

A group of protesters gathered outside Royal Dutch Shell's Canadian headquarters in Calgary, Alberta to draw attention to Shell's proposed plans to drill for Coalbed Methane at the Sacred Headwaters in northern British Columbia.
This effort was led by a group called "The Dogwood Initiative" who are demanding all drilling and extraction activities in the environmentally sensitive area cease.
"Nigeria North" is a reference to Shell's exploitive and destructive history in Nigeria and is also timed to coincide with the execution of Nigerian activist Ken Saro Wiwa. Ken Saro Wiwa was targeted by the Nigerian regime in the 90's for his leadership in having the rights of the Ogoni people recognized and for raising awareness of the Ogoni people's exploitation. Their oppression came mainly came at the hands of the Nigerian government and the military who were working to maintain Shell's interests in the oil-rich Nigerian Delta.
