@Oreofe__Femi People are spending days on the road to the same Benin, while there are high under utilization of seating spaces on aircrafts.
Why can't this companies slash their prices to be able to have more persons on board, after all they will still consume same aviation fuel
We spent months tracking 5,467 bets from Nigeria's biggest sports betting influencers.
The bets were worth ~$4.8 million.
We wanted to answer a simple question:
If you followed their bets exactly, would you make money?
The answer is no.🧵👇

Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;
1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.
These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.
We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.
@Olag0ke People that campaigned heavily against Ohakim, a sitting governor, ensured he was dethroned and handed the mantle to Rochas.
Catholic clergy no small at all.
I have spent eight years of my life in a federal university. My first school fee was ₦35k. I could fill my 6kg gas cylinder with ₦2k, and ₦10k was enough to cover my monthly stipend. I am Muhammad's daughter—Dangote doesn't even hold a candle to the man who raised me.
I love how Pastor Tony Rapu is intentional about using the gospel as a means to improve the lives of people.
Iku Benny could have died in one of those street fights many years ago but 20 years later, look at him now…
Stop telling Claude, "do this."
Stop telling Claude, "write code."
Stop telling Claude, "fix this error."
You're actually treating a senior AI like a junior intern.
Here are 8 prompts you can copy and paste directly:
This advice is for some of you Nigerians living in China 🇨🇳, and those of you who are still planning to visit. Y’all really need to do better. I’m just so happy he said everything in Igbo language. He’s a smart guy.
Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.
"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."
This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).
Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.
As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.
@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.
But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
@OomKobusVDM Kobus, you once lived, worked and enjoyed the ambience that Nigeria could offer.
Why would you always want to throw the nation under the bus with the slightest opportunity?
We’re called students of English not English students. English students are of England origins while the other are learners of the language.
Difference btw lie and lay can be seen in how APC lie all the time and Nigerians lay all their hopes on PO to save us in 2027.
