🎶🎶 Asa – Fire on the Mountain

📨 When listening to "Fire on the Mountain", released in 2007, the message cannot be misinterpreted: Nigeria's trajectory looks quite bad... Born Bukola Elemide, the Nigerian-French singer & songwriter Asa (Aṣa) is quite clear, simply strumming her guitar in this (now) classic ballad.

"One day the river will overflow and there’ll be nowhere for us to go."

In #Lagos, der größten Stadt von #Nigeria, wurde gestern die Blaue Linie der neuen Stadtbahn eröffnet.

Die Stadtbahn akzeptiert die im öffentlichen Verkehr bereits etablierten Cowry-Guthabenkarten bzw. -Appzahlungen.

Bei einer aktuellen Krise kann die Stadtbahn helfen: im Mai hat die Regierung abrupt die Subsidierung von Benzin gestoppt. Seitdem ist der Autoverkehr in Lagos stark zurückgegangen. Menschen konnten sich ihre Arbeitswege nicht mehr leisten und mussten ihre Jobs kündigen. Berufsfahrer und Lieferanten wurden gekündigt. Einigen von ihnen bringt die Stadtbahn wieder Mobilität zurück.

Des zones entières du #Nigeria sous la coupe des « bandits » et de chefs de guerre. Ils pillent, violent, rançonnent, ne laissent rien derrière eux. Les bandits reçoivent des renforts du Mali, du Niger, de Lybie. Personne ne s'oppose à eux.
