@uzoetete @TrafficChiefNG @tundefashola @followlasg Govt at all levels wallow in bad governance, poor judgement, and continue to be apathetic to issues that daily cause untold and unnecessary hardship to the people, simply because the Govt and its appointees are insulated from the consequences of their actions and inactions.

A lot of us speak good English but still struggle to articulate our thoughts in a business setting. You know what you want to say. The words just don’t come out well. It is not your English. It is how you sort the thought before you talk. Let me show you how to fix it in this thread:

Sam Neill spent five years fighting blood cancer, beat it with an experimental therapy, and said it was time to make another movie. Less than three months later he was dead at 78, for reasons that had nothing to do with the cancer he had just survived.

His family announced the news Monday from Sydney, Australia. The statement said the loss was sudden and unexpected, that Neill remained cancer free, and that he had been surrounded by family. They thanked the staff at St Vincent's Private Hospital and asked for privacy. No cause of death has been released.

Neill was diagnosed with stage three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 2022, a rare, aggressive cancer that attacks the immune system's T-cells. He went through years of chemotherapy that worked, then stopped working. Doctors switched him to CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment that takes out a patient's own immune cells, reprograms them to spot cancer, and puts them back in the body to hunt it down. On April 28, a scan came back clear. "There is no cancer in my body, that's an extraordinary thing," Neill said at the time. He spent his final months pushing for wider access to the same therapy that saved him.

He is best remembered as Dr. Alan Grant, the paleontologist who spent Jurassic Park running from what he studied. Neill played Grant across three films over 29 years, from the original in 1993 to Jurassic World Dominion in 2022. The same year Jurassic Park came out, he starred opposite Holly Hunter in The Piano, which won the Oscar for best original screenplay. His five-decade career also ran through The Hunt for Red October, Dead Calm, and three seasons as Chief Inspector Chester Campbell on Peaky Blinders. New Zealand gave him its Screen Legend Award last year.

Born in Northern Ireland in 1947, he moved to New Zealand with his family at age seven. He is survived by four children and eight grandchildren. His last public statement about his future, made less than three months before he died, was simple: it's time I did another movie.

Bryce Dallas Howard has shared a video of the late Sam Neill singing “Blackbird” with Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern.

“Sam had an immense passion for life. Generous with his wine, his stories, his time. One of the most unassumingly attractive and magnetic people I've ever met.”

The Old Oyo National Park is said to be about 2,500 square kilometers in size. With about 4 rivers running through.

Lagos State landmass - land only, minus its waters, is just a little bigger, at est ~2,800 square km.

Yet another of Nigeria’s several vast ungoverned spaces.

There is that one colleague who makes you think your brain is hibernating.

They say something like: ‘I already told you this’ when they never did.

Just stay calm for me please and say something like: ‘I don’t have a recollection of that but that’s okay, i’ll put our important comms going forward in writing so it is easily retrievable’.

All said while smiling 😤🤭🫩

Not all plantain affects your body the same way.

Unripe plantain = more resistant starch (sugar), slower rise in blood sugar.

Ripe plantain = sweeter because more of its starch has turned into sugar.

Neither is bad, but if you are diabetic or prediabetic, unripe plantain is the better option because it has a lower effect on your sugar.

If you don’t, pay attention to how much you’re eating and what you’re eating it with.

Deal?

Rather than acknowledge a remarkable rescue mission, one that cost the life of a security operative, some people ( emergency lovers of Nigeria) would rather cling to conspiracy theories than give credit to the security personnel who risked all to bring the hostages home. https://t.co/K8A43uIk0m

Think of the ‘Red pen’ rule.

📌 Get involved only if there’s something wrong

📌 Don’t do the fixing yourself, teach others to fix it. When you are unavailable, they should be able to replicate the solution.

📌 Every single task is an opportunity to build new leaders - Let your team take the opportunity.

This is one of my GOAT threads. From 2019.

What follows below is an update - again showing why Presidents sometimes reject legislative bills. Sometimes these bills are (un)disguised attempts to simply grab power or money.

So President @officialABAT has just withheld assent to two Bills sent to him by NASS, citing serious flaws in them.

One of the bills is the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria (Establishment) Amendment Bill.

The Bill requires companies and organisations in Nigeria to notify the Institute every time they appoint a head of procurement and supply chain. And this notification must be done within one month of the appointment.

The President thinks this is an unjustifiable power grab, arguing in his letter to the Senate President that "The Institute, not being the regulator, cannot force incorporated entities or organisations that are independent and perhaps not registered members of the Institute to furnish such particulars."

The Bill also has a provision giving the Institute the mandate/power to inspect companies and organisations and sanction employers. Again the President says this is an overreach.

"Subject to the correction of the above issues, the Bill may be suitable for retransmission for assent,” the president's letter said.

One thing I have always admired about the Yoruba culture is their deep sense of gratitude.

Just look at how the people in the community where the abducted Oyo school children and teachers were rescued came out to thank and appreciate the military personnel as they drove away after the successful operation.

In some other regions, such an operation might have been met with insults and accusations that the federal government is using the military to invade their community.

That culture of acknowledging and appreciating those who make sacrifices deserves recognition.

The Yoruba people place a high value on gratitude, and it is a quality worth emulating.
