You're missing the entire point.

That statement came directly from the presidency!

I saw where you referenced my thread about abacha sellers. That was me, in my capacity as a private individual who wasn't among the top 40% earners in the country at the time.

Do you realise what it means when the presidency is embarking on akara and kulikuli empowerment?!!!

[Career with Idris @iakinlabii]

I'm 35.

At this point in my career, I know people earning ₦1m–₦10m monthly remotely and if you ask them what exactly they do all day, the answer is they over see activities.

One guy disappears for hours during workdays, goes to the gym, runs errands, attends family events and still gets "great job" from his manager.

Another works for a foreign company, travels constantly and seems to spend more time at airports than on Zoom.

Then I know brilliant people working 10-hour days, commuting through Lagos traffic and earning a fraction of that.

The modern job market is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

The hardest worker is not always the highest paid.

Not even close.

This plea is not merely heartbreaking. It is theologically indicting.

Every religion that elevates a historical figure invites an obvious objection: you have imported the limitations of his century along with his wisdom.

Christianity is not immune to this on its surface. But the question is not which century your prophet came from. The question is whether the man you elevated transcended his century or merely inhabited it.

Jesus touched lepers in a world that quarantined them. He held public theology with women when the rabbinical tradition refused them. He stood inside Roman imperial power and refused every offer of it. He told his disciples that greatness looked like a servant and that the meek, not the militarily dominant, would inherit the earth. He did not import 1st century Rome. He confronted it at every structural point.

Muhammad worked within the gender architecture of 7th century Arabia. He occasionally softened it. He did not dismantle it, he codified it. Surah 33:59 does not emerge from divine aesthetics. It emerges from a situation where his men were harassing women in Medina’s streets, and the solution offered was not to discipline the men but to mark the women.

Distinguish your wives so we know which ones we can abuse.

That is the textual sociology behind the hijab. You can argue across fourteen centuries about jurisprudence and interpretation but you cannot erase the situation that produced the verse.

When a founding figure does not confront the power structures of his world but works within them, those power structures become sacred. The 7th century gender architecture does not stay in the 7th century. It travels forward dressed as revelation.

This is why the Taliban are not an aberration. They are the answer to a sincere question: what does serious, uncompromising application of the external enforcement paradigm look like when you remove the moderating pressure of Western political shame? Afghanistan is the answer. Those men are not distorting Islam. They are implementing it without apology.

Christianity is structurally different. Not because Christians are morally superior but because the architecture is different by design.

The compliance mechanism is inward. The law written on the heart, not enforced at the school gate. This means God chose that the most devout believer and the most flagrant sinner face each other in the same invisible courtroom, and He alone presides. He gave us the mandate to preach and persuade. He did not give us the authority to coerce. When men try to, they are not being more Christian. They are being less. The architecture resists them.

Islam’s architecture does not resist them. It licenses them. And men who want power will always find a religion that licenses them and call it devotion.

So that girl’s cry is a theodicy in one sentence. She is right. Whatever god demands this cannot be the creator of women.

The left refuses this conversation because it forces a choice between feminist commitments and the reflexive defence of Islamic exceptionalism. They will choose the latter, dress it in the language of anti-colonialism, and leave Afghan girls crying in the dark.

If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.

Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.

Let me tell you about naked mole rats. This live underground throughout their lives. They eat root, tubers and bulbs underground without leaving their burrow. When they come across a tuber that's big, they don't try to finish it at once.

They practice a form of sustainable harvesting.They bore into the tuber and eat little out of the softer interior flesh. They deliberately leave the thin outer epidermis (skin) mostly intact. This keeps the plant alive and healthy, allowing it to continue growing or regenerate new tissue. They'll dig around their tunnels to look for other roots and do this. In a few days, they'll go back to the big tuber, which would have regenerated to eat a little again. They're smart not to overwork the tuber or kill it. They farm and bill with sense.

Do the same wit your successful elder brother.

Nobody’s really calling out how MTN might be ripping people off… I’ve noticed my data finishes way too fast even when I barely use it. So I bought 10GB, turned off my mobile data immediately, and switched to WiFi. Just 2 hours later, I checked my balance and somehow I was left with 6GB… how does that even make sense? Everyone don see Nigerians finish because we always take everything and adapt 🤦‍♂️

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying "Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.

Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.

President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.

Governance is not a rocket science, it's not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Do this alot at events.
Also picked one babe up one day, had good convo with her. She kept telling me 'I'll be dropping at Eterna filling station''. Hinting that I should get her contact, as she would be dropping soon. I didn't. While alighting, she still said 'I'm coming down o'. I waved her goodbye.

Some conversations don't need to end in exchange of contacts Tbvh.
