Hear hear. For folks visiting Lagos, this a thread of businesses/services that I have patronized that ABSOLUTELY delighted me.

1. Pedicure - The Nail Boutique (7-12 Rumens Road Ikoyi). I tried their super lux pedicure, not sure what they put in it but my feet never felt so good.

2. Braids - The Braiding Vault (GreenVille mall Lekki). Best braiding experience of my entire life! They are appointment only so please call.
3. Skincare products - I ordered online from Skincare Lagos. They had everything I was looking for and the whole experience was super smooth.

4. Hair - Hair by Bees Root. First time buying hair so I had loads of questions. They patiently answered all of them and the hair looked gorgeous - as advertised.

38 Adeyemo Alakija off Sanusi Fafuwa Victoria Island.
5. Make Up - Switch Cosmetics. 17B Olosa Street VI. I was super impressed by all the COVID protocols they took. And face beat was A1.
The artists are also so cheerful. @Switchcosmetics @switchcosmetics_beautystudio on instagram.
6. Banana bread - look no further @tammys__treats is your plug!
Honorable mention - MangoBakeShop (you can find them on instagram). Order their Oreo Overload and thank me later.
7. Clothes - Zephans & co. Her SO put me on when I was complaining of a lack of clothes so shout out to supportive partners! The clothes are stylish, affordable & have pockets!!!
https://t.co/4Sk7wzA2HU or their store in Lekki (I think ordering online has more variety.
8. Clothes - @GreyVelvet. I wasn’t looking for clothes but stumbled on their store & worked in. But this one is so special to me so they get two tweets.
During the course of this year, I gained a lot of weight & well became plus size. That’s when I realized one terrible thing.
Clothes for plus size people are mostly ugly. Almost as if designers don’t care. Which is weird because I don’t think the average Nigerian woman is skinny. Anyway, I entered their store & was blown away by how good the clothes fit. Everything I tried on was a hit!
They are in Centrol Mall Lekki. I was so impressed that I had to go look for the founder. I was almost convinced she has a body type like me. But no. She doesn’t actually. They just take size inclusivity very important and it shows.

That’s all folks! Have fun in Lagos.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
