About Us

My name is Nsima Mbat. Welcome to Trojanpost — better pet care through knowledge. Before you go further, let me tell you a bit about myself and how Trojanpost began.

Back in 2006, when I began my academic journey at the university to study Zoology, I had no idea how much my weekends would shape my future. Every Friday after lectures, I would travel from campus back to my village, Ikot Nya, in Akwa Ibom State, South-South Nigeria. Those trips were more than just visits, they were my chance to spend time with my siblings and help my aged parents with chores.

But on one fateful weekend, everything changed. My mother sent me on an errand to a neighbouring village. It was a Sunday, and I rode my bicycle there and back. As soon as I returned home, our dogs came running to greet me. Without looking properly, I stepped down from the bicycle and onto one of the puppies. It yelped in pain and dashed off, leaving scratches and bruises on my legs. I didn’t realise at the time that the puppy’s teeth had broken my skin.

That evening, I took a taxi back to the university, but something felt wrong when I got to my hostel. A wave of restlessness came over me, followed by fever and a pounding headache. By nightfall, I decided to return home. When I told my mother what had happened, she didn’t waste a second; she took me straight to the clinic. Tests confirmed that my symptoms were from the bite.

Lying in that clinic bed, I realised something powerful: a single moment of misunderstanding between humans and animals can change lives — theirs and ours.

That moment didn’t just scare me, it sparked a deep awareness. It inspired me to delve into the world of animal behavior and care, leading to the creation of Trojanpost.

Like a steadfast Trojan guardian, we’ve stood firm with patience, knowledge, and care to help families, farmers, and pet owners connect better with their animals. Through practical science and heartfelt stories, we share insights about pets, catfish farming, and animal health, so you can protect your animals and live alongside them peacefully.

About The Founder

At Trojanpost, our goal is simple but vital: to empower pet owners and catfish farmers with the knowledge they need to foster healthier, more thriving animals. We believe that informed care is the most effective care, whether in your living room or on your farm.

Leading this mission is Nsima Mbat, whose advanced expertise in animal science is rooted in an M.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Ibadan. For years, Nsima has worked directly with pet owners and aquaculture professionals, giving him a deep, practical understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities you face every day.

He knows that the gap between complex scientific research and practical, day-to-day animal care can be vast. That’s why he founded Trojanpost, to translate evidence-based science into clear, actionable guidance that works in real-life Nigerian homes and ponds.


Our Unwavering Commitment to Authority and Trust

While Nsima provides a strong foundation in animal science, we believe that specific medical and health advice must come from the highest authority. That’s why the cornerstone of our content process is our partnership with a dedicated team of licensed Nigerian veterinary doctors.

Every article we publish on animal health, welfare, or treatment is rigorously reviewed and validated by these professionals. This ensures that the guidance you receive is not only evidence-based but also vet-approved for its safety, relevance, and effectiveness in our local environment.

This unique combination; Nsima’s practical animal science knowledge and our veterinarians’ clinical authority is what makes Trojanpost a resource you can truly trust. We are committed to providing the knowledge that helps your pets flourish in your home and your catfish thrive in your ponds, because when you succeed, we’ve done our job.

Let's Build This Community Together

At Trojanpost, we’re building a family of caring pet owners and animal lovers who know that love alone isn’t enough, understanding and knowledge matter too. If this speaks to you, join us and let’s grow together.

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability.  But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up.   The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed.   The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment.   In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value.  In this article, we’ll explore:...

Mysterious Giant Fish Baffles Scientists in California: Rare Hoodwinker Sunfish Washes Ashore

A rare marine creature that evaded scientific detection until recently has mysteriously washed ashore on a California beach, creating excitement among marine biologists and beachgoers alike. The enormous, otherworldly fish identified as the elusive hoodwinker sunfish ( Mola tecta ) was discovered at Doran Regional Park in Bodega Bay, approximately 70 miles north of San Francisco. Eyewitness Discovery "Like Suddenly You're on Another Planet" Stefan Kiesbye, a novelist and English professor at Sonoma State University, made the astonishing discovery while visiting the beach. Initially mistaking the creature for a dead sea lion, Kiesbye approached and found himself face-to-face with what he described as "so enormous and so weird and gorgeous". "It's sad that it's been washed to shore," Kiesbye told reporters, "but it was so enormous and so weird and gorgeous. It's like suddenly you're on another planet". The discovery sent park of...

The 5 Overlooked Pathways of Salmonella from Pet Food to Your Family

A Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) investigation into a recent Salmonella outbreak provides a concrete example of a recurring public health issue: laboratory-confirmed illnesses in humans traced back to contaminated dog food and treats. The data shows 31 confirmed human infections across four provinces, with seven hospitalizations. The PHAC explicitly notes that "many people who became sick in this outbreak investigation reported handling dog food and treats prior to becoming ill." This is not a theoretical risk. The regulatory context is critical: the PHAC states, "In Canada, pet food products are not subject to the same regulations and testing as food intended for humans." This means the responsibility for managing this documented risk falls to the pet owner. The standard advice is to wash your hands. This is necessary, but insufficient. Contamination operates through environmental pathways that hand washing alone cannot address. Based on public health guid...
