"I do not believe he is the right man to lead". ๐ฃ๏ธ UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has weighed in on the ongoing FIFA crisis, insisting Gianni Infantino is unfit to continue as FIFA President following the fallout over controversial World Cup investment proposals. ๐จ
"I laughed over the Ycee 'Olodo Uprising' topic, not because I found it funny, but because he was identifying something in his time. However, he was seeing the latter stage of something that started in my own generation when I was probably his age.
I spoke about weaponized ignorance for the first time in 1994 when I wrote a piece on it. He is identifying the same phenomenon. The 'Olodo Uprising' was fathered by weaponized ignorance."

Me too. So much that I still test my General Knowledge with those Quiz YouTube Channels. Learned yesterday why Thor's Father lost his eye. He exchanged it for Wisdom! I had no idea!!!
Algorithms Are Colonising African Youths
Nigerian historian Iyo Obietonbara argues that social media algorithms are a tool of colonialism, influencing what African youths consider valuable. Instead of building organisations to struggle for liberation, many of our young people are making videos about trivial matters.

one of my associate in the US just told me something that happened after a networking event.
that he met a young lady who seemed intelligent, friendly and highly connected. they talked for hours, exchanged ideas and built instant rapport. by the end of the night, it felt like they had known each other for years. just yesterday, the new acquaintance called him, claiming she was stranded in the area after her car broke down and needed somewhere to wait while help arrived cos of the positive first impression, my friend agreed and invited her over.
everything seemed normal at first. they talked, laughed and discussed business opportunities. after a while, my friend excused himself to take a shower upstairs. few mins later, he remembered he had left his laptop open in the living room. something told him to check the security camera on his phone before coming back down.
what he saw instantly made his stomach drop, the lady was no longer sitting on the couch.
instead, she was moving through the house, opening drawers, checking cabinets and taking photos of valuables, security systems and entry points. the man immediately called the police. when officers arrived, they discovered that the stranded guest had a history of targeting people she met through social and professional events. her goal wasn't friendship , she was gathering information to either rob homes later or pass the details to others.
the lesson here is that a good conversation is not a character reference, charm is not trustworthiness and one pleasant encounter is not enough time to know someone's intentions not everyone who earns your comfort has earned your access. the most expensive mistake you can make as a wealthy person is opening your door too quickly to people without discreetly evaluating them, thier history or performing a proper background check , maybe.

Doctor: Make sure to change your brush at least every 2 months
ME: I change my brush every 2 weeks.
Doctor: How many times do you brush?
ME: It depends on what I eat. At least 3 times a day
Doctor: Please ensure that you do not reuse the same towel without washing it.
ME: I have 8 towels, Sir. I use 2 every time I shower. One for my upper body and one for my lower body. None of them goes to my face, I have 4 face towels.
And I don't repeat them.
DOCTOR: Do you travel often, like to another country, a faraway city?
ME: Occasionally. At least once or twice a year.
Doctor: What are the important things you cannot fail to pack?
ME: My underwear, my socks, my toothbrushes, and body spray.
Doctor: But you do not need to pack a toothbrush. You could get it in any store anywhere in the world.
ME: But then I may struggle to see the brand I use.
Doctor: So the brand you use matters to you and this is the same for many products you use?
Me: Yes!
Doctor: When you wake up in the morning, what do you do?
Me: I head to the bathroom and wash my hand, and then take a pee.
Doctor: So you wash your hand first before you take a pee because you are afraid of bacteria deposits while you sleep? Go On!
Me: And then I brush my mouth, and take a shower.
Doctor: Every morning when you wake up, you head to the bathroom, after peeing you brush and shower?
Me: Yes!
Doctor: You have OCD!
Me: That's what I thought.
Doctor: Have you ever been diagnosed?
ME: When I say that's what I thought I meant, I knew you would say that, because that's what you are trained to say.
To observe a pattern and then put people under a Spectrum.
Doctor: I don't understand. The pattern fits.
Me: Of course, every pattern fits into something.
If I had answered differently I won't have OCD. It could have been DHD - Disorganised Human Disorder or anything else with a beautiful initials.
If 10 people walk through that door for you to question and examine at least 8 of them will have a mental problem.
I'm just another patient. A job, an income.
People can be naturally meticulous without being labelled a mental case!

If you are based in Abuja or you are new to Abuja,take this information very seriously.
The people you see roaming the city at night are not normal human beings.
Any mistake you make in this city,you are gone.
Always tell people where you are going to.
When you book an uber ride,always verify the car plate number,the driver picture before you enter the car.
If you can go out with one person that is family,better for you.
A lot of terrible things are going on in this city,that is not in the news.
If your car breaks down in major parts of this city,leave it alone and run away from the car first and look for help first.
Late night movements aren't advisable,if you must go out,ensure you know those you are hanging out with and you tell people where you are going to.
A word is enough for the wise.
