History

Have you ever wondered what the first television station in Africa looked like and where it was located? Well, I wondered a little harder, and I found something that might interest you.

I can still remember my grandpa telling me how they walked through famous African leaders, their shoulders high, as the nation that fed nations. Obviously, you don’t expect me to give in to such tales now, especially having lived my life in alternating and accelerating seasons of hardship in Nigeria. I’m not entirely always skeptical about information like this, but most of the time I appreciate reality more than fantasies. For me, I care less about the past because I live in the present, but that changed last month when I stumbled on what appeared to be an interesting piece of Nigerian agricultural history.
