[Demba Diop @dembadiopci]

Parfois, ce qui nous est destiné n’arrive qu’au moment où l’on cesse de courir derrière ce que l’on désire à tout prix. Car tant que l’homme veut imposer sa volonté au destin, il s’épuise à poursuivre des portes qu’Allah n’a pas ouvertes pour lui. Puis vient un jour où il lâche prise, accepte, se soumet… et découvre que ce qui était réellement écrit pour lui ne demandait ni agitation ni obsession, seulement le temps juste. Ce que Dieu te destine finit toujours par te trouver, mais rarement par le chemin que ton ego avait imaginé.

He didn’t shower. He smelled like animals. His beard was crusted with food.

Still, Russia’s hottest women fought to sleep with him.

Here’s the wild truth about Grigori Rasputin and why they worshipped him:👇

USAID and Corruption: A Persistent Challenge in Foreign Aid and Why Africa Must Do Away With Dependence on Foreign Aid.

Since the inauguration of Trump on January 20th, 2025, He mandated Elon Musk DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to go after wastage of resources in the US government to bring down the ballooning debt that was at $34 trillion, owing to years of deficit budgets. Elon came to Washington with a young group of 20+ year olds and many thought that he was joking, not knowing that these 20+ year olds were magicians with a computer and could find anything in cyberspace.

Elon asked how the 400+ US government Departments and Agencies were being funded, and everyone said the “Treasury System”. And it was where Elon went to.
If you know Elon well, you did know that both at Tesla and SpaceX, his mantra is always, “where there is wastage, always follow the money to see who is profiting” – and often, it turns out someone is profiting from a wastage and would not like to see such wastage end. It was this belief that he took to DOGE to understand why US debt kept increasing and nobody in government was concerned enough to investigate.

Elon and his band of 20+ year olds have now uncovered the corruption at The United States Agency for International Development (USAID). UDSAID is one of the world’s largest providers of foreign aid, and its mandate was funding projects in developing countries to promote economic development, humanitarian assistance, and democratic governance. However, despite this noble mission to foster global progress, Personnel at the USAID (as Elon discovered) have used US taxpayer funds to get involved in the political affairs of recipient countries and determine who should be President and who should not. This alone should be a major reason for Africans to wean away from dependency on foreign aid.

For instance, one notable example of USAID corruption of political activities in a country, involved USAID’s aid to Afghanistan, where $21 billion were allocated for reconstruction projects via the USAID in the country. Reports from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) revealed significant corruption, including instances where funds were used to pay ghost employees, fraudulent contractors, and unnecessary projects. Some programs were so poorly executed that they failed to provide tangible benefits to Afghan citizens, raising questions about accountability and transparency. In essence, $21 billion was used for - 7,000 ghost schools, where non-existent teachers were collecting salaries, the Kandahar Power Plant Failure ($335 Million) that was supposed to provide 24-hour electricity to the whole of Kabul, the Afghan Capital, and The Afghan Banking Scandal ($850 Million Lost) among others - rather than helping the poor in Afghanistan.

Another example, In Haiti, following the 2010 earthquake, the US government under Barack Obama used the USAID to commit $4 billion to reconstruction efforts in Haiti. Guess the lead private partner on this? The Clinton Foundation!
Investigations found that a significant portion of these funds (about 70%) went through the Clinton Foundation to U.S.-based firms rather than local Haitian organizations and thereby limiting the long-term impact of aid efforts. Some projects were abandoned midway due to poor planning and mismanagement, while others were plagued by overbilling and inflated costs. Perhaps that is how Obama got his millions to buy million-dollar properties in Hawaii.

If anyone is genuinely making money through forex, why are they making flashy videos trying to recruit you instead of teaching their family. Nobody will lure you into making money UNLESS YOU are their way of making money.

Luck plays a big role in our everyday life. That is why when we pray, we ask for favour. As long as the outcome depends on man, you need grace.

Years ago, somebody went for an interview. He complimented the interviewer that she smells nice and she took offence. That was how he lost the job. Someone else could have smiled and that would make the difference.

I know someone that went for a job interview and was asked three questions. He answered two but didn't know the last one. He responded with "I'll get back to you on that." The interviewers teased him with "abegii, you'll get back to me when, how?" Then she added "let it not be that I'm the one that failed you. There are many stages of this interview. You have passed this stage, you'll meet the higher-ups next. Good luck." That is luck. Religious people call it grace.

Somebody went for visa interview without his bank statement that people are always desperately filling up(even if they have to borrow) to show proof of fund. The consular officer asked him where it was and he said it was there. He pretended to look for it and feigned anger "it is supposed to be here. How could my assistant forget that? You know what? I could bring it to you later today or tomorrow morning." The consular officer who was looking at him told him not to worry and gave him the visa.

I went to Corporste Affairs Comission in 2019 and the lady that attended to me saw my hands and her eyes lit up. "Do you wash with those hands, do you do anything with those hands?" I didn't understand at first until she said they were pretty. That was all it took for someone looking angry and tired to attend to me nicely.

Some people have gone to places to seek favours, and the uniqueness of your name is interesting to the person. It could be that their child bears same name and conversation would switch from why you came to "You have a beautiful name. Do you even know what it means? My child bears the same name." Gist don start and whatever you came for, you'll get it.

Somebody went for the final stage of an interview, which was with the MD. Oga was watching ball and his team, Arsenal, were winning 5-0. The man was in a good mood and just asked him about football. He got the job. Imagine Arsenal were losing 4 - 0.

Some of you have given your CVs to your uncles and father's connect, but till tomorrow they have not gotten back to you. On Twitter here, somebody can just like your vibe and ask you to bring your CV. Then your own helper will be the one updating you on the progress of things.

During my Msc dissertation presentation, which was online, my laptop decided to go off. I took my cousin's laptop and logged in to my portal to continue. My supervisor was waiting. I apologised and she smiled and said "No worries." I could have logged in and she had disappeared for lunch and failed me for being unserious.

You could go out in Lagos wearing your University sweatshirt and somebody would wall up to you with "I schooled in Loughborough too. Pleasure to meet you. Why are you here?"

Sometimes, all it takes is your smile. It might even be your looks. Your disposition just put the person in a good mood and they are happy to help. Once it involves man, you need luck in life. You can't be too prepared for grace. It just happens.
