I have just been informed that this incident happened last week in the United Kingdom.

This is unacceptable and the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer should get involved. The mother should also get in touch with me.

Homophobia in Nigeria is crazy.

Straight man sees another man's sweaty shirtless gym photos, then fantasises about getting his hand on the man's waist from behind and both of them squatting together.

Snaps back to reality and gets angry at the waist bead his crush is wearing.

It's feminine he says so he threatens violence.🤦🏿‍♂️

I’ll always believe women first until proven otherwise. Even if 9 fail me, I’ll still believe the 10th

It’s always when there’s an issue of sexual violence towards women is when niggas would remember falsely accused people. Not like they care for those men, but to water down the actual issue and create agenda. Peace would never find yall.

[Naija Feminists Media @NaijaRadFems]

Launching a hate campaign on Simi for speaking up against rape is men’s strategy to continue to rape women with impunity.

Engaging in faux rage to manipulate conversation on false rape accusations rather than rape itself is how men invite hate against themselves.

Actually it’s about Jesus Christ teaching me how to walk on water, to trust Him and not in human understanding.
He changed my life. And if you seek Him He will fill you up too.
He is the Lord of Lords.
The word of God, made flesh
I am His sheep. He is my Shepherd.
And I have been forever transformed.
I am His forever. THATS JUST ME DOE

I am delighted to announce the reopening of the General Hospital Amachara and the renovated and retrofitted Abia State Specialist Hospital and Diagnostic Centre. These facilities have been upgraded and will be driven by a round-the-clock power and water supply. We are determined to combat the threat of modern diseases by providing quality health care for our people.

Our target is to restore all our primary and secondary health institutions in the state to optimal functionality. We want to ensure that no resident of Abia will need to travel out of the state for medical concerns. Expect to see more of these improved facilities in the state in the coming months. I also want to issue a stern warning to vandals who steal medical equipment: you will be dealt with according to the law. My promise to Ndị Abia, which is at the heart of the Labour Party agenda, is that we shall spend our waking hours working for you, using the instruments of government to solve problems.

Special thanks to Dr Ngozi Okoronkwo, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Betty Emeka Obasi, SSA on Special Duties, the executive team of the State's Ministry for Health and the management of the HMB for their tireless contributions in achieving this feat.

In 1998, Citibank and The Travelers Insurance Company merged.

They hired legendary designer Paula Scher to create a new logo.

In their first meeting, on a napkin, Scher drew what became the iconic Citi logo.

As Scher got up to leave the room, someone from the Citi team asked,

How can it be that it’s done in a second?

“It’s done in a second and 34 years," Scher replied. “It’s done in a second [and] every experience and everything that’s in my head.”

Takeaway 1:

As Scher has become a master of her craft, she's experienced an interesting problem.

"A lot of clients like to buy process," she explains. "they think they're not getting their money's worth [if] you solve the problem too fast."

This is known as the "Labor Perception Bias."

It's an interesting phenomenon: we are generally impatient, yet, we are skeptical if, for instance, we're at a fancy restaurant and the food comes out only minutes after we ordered.

One of famous examples of the Labor Perception Bias is the parable of the engineer and the hammer:

A factory owner hired an engineer to fix a broken-down engine. The engineer inspected the engine for one minute, took out his hammer, hammered the engine once, and then started the engine with no problem.

The engineer charged the factory owner $5000. The factory owner was shocked, protested that the engineer had worked for only one minute, and asked for an itemized bill. The engineer sent the factory owner an itemized bill:

Hammering the engine: $5
Knowing where to hammer the engine: $4,995

Takeaway 2:

On my desk, there is a notecard that says, “All success is a lagging indicator.”

The line comes from one of my favorite Ryan Holiday articles. “When a day’s writing goes well,” he writes, “it’s a lagging indicator of hours and hours spent researching and thinking… Receiving a promotion is a lagging indicator of a lot of quality work. Delivering a keynote with confidence is a lagging indicator of a lot of preparation.”

Knowing where to hammer the engine is a lagging indicator of the years and years working with hammers and on engines.

And Paula Scher’s ability to create an iconic logo in a second is a lagging indicator of 34 years spent honing her craft.

It was a sunny afternoon when my young nephew, came to stay with me for a few days. Being an avid gamer, he brought along his computer and spent most of his time playing his favorite game, where he played the role of a muscular outlaw .He didn't notice me sneaking up behind him.
As I watched him play, I couldn't help but notice the realism of the game. The graphics were so good that it almost felt like I was watching a movie. He was in the middle of a high-speed chase with the police, having just stolen a car. The officers were hot on his trail, and he was doing everything he could to evade them.

Finally, he managed to ditch the car and ran into a nearby building, with the police in hot pursuit. Once inside, he pulled out his gun and aimed it at the officers, ready to shoot if they got too close. That's when I decided to intervene.

I touched him and shouted, "So you want to kill the police, Abi ? Oya kill the Police na I am watching!!!

He was startled and turned around to face me. He lowered his gun, realizing that he had been caught in the act. He looked embarrassed, knowing that I was a cop myself.

I sat down beside him and talked to him about the dangers of glorifying criminal behavior. I also told him about the risks associated with pointing a gun at a police officer and how it could lead to serious consequences. That parents should take interest in games children play and films they watch cannot be overemphasized.

When I first arrived Harvard Law School, I was brimming with confidence and promise. I had been accepted to study at the Great Harvard—I have conquered fear itself; on the other side of fear is only greatness, or so I thought.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.
