JAPANESE TRAINS ARE SOME OF THE MOST PUNCTUAL IN THE WORLD.
The average delay of Japanese trains is 18 seconds. What makes them so punctual? Drivers are trained in ultra-realistic simulators and drive one train line only

Eder scored the solitary goal to win Portugal Euro 2016, we all know who got the praise for that victory. It’s a two edged sword. Once you are comfortable with the praise, deserved or not, you must live with the criticism too. That’s how it works.
Higuain kill3d Argentina in 2014, guess who got all the knocks? The one who dragged them to that final. And several more knocks for dragging them to other finals they lost.
This is the nature of the game. It’s too late to cry or complain about it.
Once you have a salaried job or any stable source of income or even a side hustle giving you any steady income.
You must Read or Listen to the Book Richest Man in Babylon. Do it more than once, every time you read theirs always something to learn.
It's free on youtube, take notes, implement the knowledge, act on it.
It was very useful for me in my early days and I still use it till today. Every Single mentee of mine is mandated to READ AND implement.
I am sharing with you, it's a cheat code for people from our kind of background.
So get to work, I wish you God's speed and all the best

I know reading a book is hard, but try to read The Mythical Man Month: Essays on Software Engineering and A Philosophy of Software Design.
The reason we’re saying you can’t build Jumia in 2 weeks is not because of your skills, abilities or the capability of any AI model. This thing is engineering and there is a PROCESS. You also need enormous domain knowledge.
Thinking in implementation details as the first step to a system design challenge shows you lack software engineering fundamentals.
Just read those books, and you’ll understand why you’re wrong.
Amid the flood of felicitations following my convocation as Overall Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, I find it necessary to address the stir around my NELFUND appreciation post. I accept the praise, life changing offers and the backlash, in good faith. Still, it is only fair to set the record straight.
I hail from a village in Osun State, raised in a modest family of five. I attended public primary and secondary schools, not by choice, but because even the most inexpensive private schools were beyond our means.
Even then, survival itself; food and clothing was a daily struggle. I walked miles to school each morning, while my parents laboured as jacks-of-all-trades to make ends meet.
For nine defining years before I entered university, we lived within sight of basic amenities yet beyond our reach, no electricity, no television; just lanterns and candles. Against these odds, I earned a scholarship and now this distinction.
In my third year, a coursemate’s father, someone I had once tutored academically, gifted me my first smartphone which I am still using till now. On several occasions, lecturers, moved by quiet compassion, provided me with clothing. There are many other instances, too numerous to recount.
So, I say this plainly, not all of us are born with a silver spoon. Some of us climbed the ladder by holding on to every rung of legitimate support we could find.
As an engineering student aspiring to make academic history, should I resort myself to blaming my family’s financial situation for my inability to afford fees and essentials like a reliable smartphone or laptop needed for skills and certifications?
For me personally, NELFUND was not incidental; it was instrumental and to acknowledge what helped one’s journey is neither propaganda nor misplaced allegiance. It is simply an act of appreciation.
Thank you @NELFUND and everyone that contributed to this success!
Greatness awaits all of Us.

Here’s how to get in. 🧵
These tips will help you for other O&G companies too because they basically copy each other.
Same concepts. Different buzz words.
When I was job hunting, I hated submitting my CV because it was empty. I wanted it to be filled with experience, but no one would hire me.
And no one would hire me because it was empty. You see the frustrating loop?
Now, as a CEO who has reviewed hundreds of CVs,
Who in their right senses associates the Hijab with exam malpractice in the first place? All through my time at the university, I never once saw them catch a sister in hijab for cheating. It is only the peperempes they catch.
Some people even disguise themselves by wearing a hijab just to cover up their moves, but we know who is who. People who choose the hijab as a way of life have already passed that class of being an exam cheater. You can say all you like about them, but cheating? Naaa!
This is why I shake my head for those saying it’s cos of cheating. You are a … 😂
If you’re living in the diaspora and you have an MTN SIM, and you’re worried about losing your line due to inactivity, simply dial *365# on your MTN SIM and subscribe to a plan called “MTN Keep My Number.”
You can subscribe for 1, 2, or 3 years.
1 year is 3,500
2 years is 5,000
3 years is 7,500
This way, you won’t lose your number even if you don’t recharge or actively use it during the period you subscribed for. You can even remove your SIM card and keep it somewhere safe.
I’m not sure if Airtel, Etisalat, or Glo have similar plans, but I’ll check.
Dear Zuha,
I know you are inquisitive about how our religious days fit into the modern world. It is a brilliant question. I will be breaking this down for you so you can clearly see that Islam is not a copycat. It is a complete system with its own deep, independent roots.
Firstly, you asked: if the Gregorian calendar is not real, why do Muslims pray on Friday, and is there a different Friday in the Islamic calendar?
To help you and others understand, we have to go back to history.
Pope Gregory was the one who introduced the Gregorian calendar, and he introduced it in 1582. However, when you look at Islamic history, you will see that Muslims had been observing Jumu'ah for nearly a thousand years before that Pope was even born. If you open classical books of Islamic history such as the Seerah of Ibn Hisham or The Sealed Nectar, the physical proof is right there.
These books documented the very first Jumu'ah prayer held by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 622 CE. It took place in the valley of Ranuna during his migration from Mecca to Medina. In that same era, Allah revealed an entire chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Jumu'ah, where He commanded the believers to leave their worldly trades and gather. This proves Yawm al-Jumu'ah was a lived reality in the 7th century, over 900 years before the Gregorian calendar existed in Rome.
Now, you might wonder how this connects to the Friday we know today. Frankly, the seven day weekly loop is an entirely different system from how we count solar or lunar months. It is an ancient, unbroken mathematical cycle. You do not even have to take my word for it. Non Muslim historians and sociologists agree on this.
For instance, Eviatar Zerubavel in his book The Seven Day Circle confirmed that this weekly cycle has remained completely unbroken for thousands of years across different empires. The day the Western world decided to call Friday aligns seamlessly with the sixth day of that ancient cycle.
In Arabic, the days are just numbered. Sunday is Day One. Monday is Day Two. The sixth day is Yawm al-Jumu'ah, the Day of Gathering. This means we do not pray on this day to honor a Roman calendar. That is, it was just a coincidental relationship. We pray on it because Allah established it on a divine timeline.
Secondly, you asked: why is Friday night considered so blessed, and what are you missing here?
To understand this, we have to look at the foundations of human existence. Friday goes more than just the end of the work week. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that Friday is the day Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was created, the day he entered Paradise, the day he was sent to earth, and the day the world will end.
This is why the Prophet had a very profound routine. Every Friday during the early morning Fajr prayer, he would recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. He did this deliberately. These two chapters detail the creation of the universe, the biological creation of man, and the intense realities of the Day of Judgment. Praying these chapters every Friday morning is a divine reset. It reminds you of your origin and your final destination, both of which are tied to this specific day.
Because Friday carries the heavy weight of the end of times, reciting Surah Al-Kahf is your spiritual shield. The Surah contains stories about the ultimate trials of wealth, power, and faith. Reading it provides a divine light that protects your heart from the materialistic noise of the world and the deception of the Dajjal until the next Jumu'ah.
So by this fact, you are not missing anything. You just need to see that we are not following a Gregorian Friday. We are following a divine timeline. Don’t fret.
Allah knows best.
