When paper becomes protection.
Pages meant to inform are instead used to hold bodies together.
Across low-income communities in Nigeria, period poverty pushes girls toward unsafe alternatives like newspapers.
This is not tradition. It is deprivation; forcing girls to choose between shame and survival.

Back on the trails after weeks away from hiking and it felt so good to be out again. It was also a perfect opportunity to test my drone, fresh back from repairs and ready to fly.

This journey is not marked by distance, but by moments; steps through water, a pause in prayer, a return to the path.

In Becheve, daily life unfolds beneath the shadow of the Obudu Cattle Ranch. Here, the land feeds families, paths replace roads, and people live not for spectacle but for survival, dignity, and home.
While tourists chase the view, Becheve sustains life.

Trains without movement,
Infrastructure without care.
Minna Railway Station is a reminder that infrastructure can outlive intention. Tracks remain, but direction is lost. Trains remain, but movement is gone.
