Dr. Umar is a charlatan but a doctorate is something he’s not lying about. His dissertation is easily searchable with verified research. Just uses his PsyD for evil!!
They are beginning to wake up to what I have been shouting since.
Most people “cashing out” in Nigeria are doing so at the expense of those who aren’t. The economy is not designed for everyone to cash out - which is why that your breakthrough prayer is the same as wishing others fail so you can succeed.
It’s a dog eat dog economy.
To be very direct: the Dagote’s, the Otedola’s, the Adeleke’s, the Elumelu’s, the Tinubu’s are rich because you are poor.
This is why I laugh when poor people worship billionaires in Nigeria. You are only perpetuating your poverty.
A software engineer at Atlassian got laid off in March after 8 years. His response: a 38-minute YouTube video showing how the company's entire tech works, free for anyone to copy. That same quarter, Atlassian's revenue hit $1.79 billion, a record.
His name is Vasilios Syrakis. He worked in Sydney on Atlassian's digital plumbing: the system that handles the company's web traffic, made up of about 2,000 programs running across 13 regions of the world. Every time someone clicks on Atlassian's software, the system Syrakis worked on decides which of those servers answers. Atlassian's own engineering blog wrote about his team's work in February 2025. On Sunday, Syrakis walked through the whole architecture on YouTube, every box on the diagram.
The financial picture doesn't fit the layoff story. Atlassian's cloud business grew 29% year over year last quarter. The company has 350,000 customers, including 80% of the Fortune 500. None of that looks like a company that needs to cut a tenth of its staff to "self-fund AI investment," as the CEO put it in March.
In the six months before the layoffs, CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes sold 866,145 of his own shares for roughly $134 million. Co-founder Scott Farquhar sold exactly the same number on the same schedule. The board also approved spending $2.5 billion to buy back Atlassian stock from the market, a move that props up the share price. The shares still fell 56% this year. Investors think AI lets companies do more work with fewer employees, and Atlassian charges its customers per employee.
Sam Altman called this practice "AI washing" in February. Of the 1.2 million American jobs cut in 2025, only 55,000 blamed AI. The rest had different reasons, or none at all. The engineer who helped build Atlassian's plumbing is now teaching the internet how it works, for free, because he no longer has a paycheck to protect.
I really want black people to stop thinking everyone should be business owners. Just because I can make dinner does NOT mean I should open a food truck or restaurant.
