It is really important that you really learn to let go of your ego. Otherwise it will deceive you into making unnecessary mistakes, especially in this app.
You will go the extra mile to prove unnecessary points to nonentities.
Someone whom I just found out is younger than my youngest brother whom I send on errands without question, was in my mentions insulting me because I said I don’t like to be asked to cook at this stage of my life as it is a waste of my time.
Imagine I had spent time trading words with him instead of just blocking the fool like I did? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another one asked how big my business is that I don’t want to leave it and cook and just shook my head. What is going on? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
10 Triggering Points of Tinubu's Woeful Administration (2023–2026) - Why He must not return as President in 2027.
1. Fuel Subsidy Removal without planning.
Tinubu’s inauguration speech came with immediate removal of fuel subsidy which resulted in fuel prices exponentially increasing from ₦190 → ₦1,300+/litre (650%+ rise) without proper plan to cushion the irreparable damage that one statement would do to the pockets of ordinary Nigerians
2. Naira Collapse - ₦460 → ₦1,490/$
Tinubu's unification of exchange rates; another Day-One policy sent the naira into a historic tailspin. The naira collapsed from roughly ₦460/$ to ₦1,358 (official) and ₦1,490 (parallel market) by April 2026. This near tripling of the exchange rate wiped out savings, drove up import costs, devastated businesses, and made the cost of living unbearable for millions. The new ₦70,000 minimum wage approved in 2024 was worth only *m$42 in real terms, less than half the purchasing power of the old ₦30,000 wage in 2019.
3. Explosive Inflation - A Nation That Can No Longer Eat
Inflation under Tinubu hit a generational high of 34.19% in mid-2024, with food inflation peaking at a record 40.87% in June 2024.
While headline inflation eased to 15.06% by February 2026, the cumulative price damage especially on food had already devastated household budgets across the country. Nigeria went from a middle-income aspiration to a nation where eating three meals a day became a luxury for tens of millions.
4. Famine & Mass Hunger — More than 35 million Nigerians Facing Starvation
Under Tinubu's watch, Nigeria's food crisis reached catastrophic proportions. The World Food Programme (WFP) projected that 35 million Nigerians would face acute hunger during the 2026 lean season. In Borno State, 15,000 people were classified at IPC Phase 5 Catastrophic/Famine level - the worst tier on the global hunger scale. The poverty rate surged from 46% in 2023 to 63% in 2025, meaning approximately 140 million Nigerians now live in abject poverty according to the World Bank.
5. Electricity Grid Collapse - Darkness as Governance
Despite promises of an energy revolution, Nigeria's national grid collapsed 9 times in 2024 alone. Major grid collapses occurred in December 2025 and January 2026, with electricity supply plummeting to as low as 1.5 megawatts, practically zero for a country of over 220 million people. Businesses dependent on grid power were crippled, manufacturing stalled, and ordinary Nigerians were left in perpetual darkness, running generators at enormous personal expense.
The token cost to build a production feature is now lower than the meeting cost to discuss building that feature.
Let me rephrase.
It is literally cheaper to build the thing and see if it works than to have a 30 minute planning meeting about whether you should build it.
It’s wild when you think about it.
This completely inverts how you should run a software organization. The planning layer becomes the bottleneck because the building layer is essentially free. The cost of code has dropped to essentially 0.
The rational response is to eliminate planning for anything that can be tested empirically. Don’t debate whether a feature will work.
Just build it in 2 hours, measure it with a group of customers, and then decide to kill or keep it.
I saw a startup operating this way and their build velocity is up 20x. Decision quality is up because every decision is informed by a real prototype, not a slide deck and an expensive meeting.
We went from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and build everything.”
The planning industrial complex is dead.
Thank god.
Showmax is officially dead
After 11 years in business and ~$1B+ invested — ~$500M since 2024 — the paid streaming service will be shuttered in the coming months
So ends one of Africa’s most ambitious attempts to build a local subscription video on-demand platform capable of competing with global giants
In North America and Europe, near-ubiquitous broadband connectivity and sizeable disposable income levels underpin subscription models
In African markets, the economics are different
A reliance on mobile data, low consumer spending power, and volatile currencies makes profitability difficult
It's a good time to revisit this piece @JasonNjoku, founder of competing paid streaming service iROKOtv, published a year ago:
"Our GDP per capita was too small to support even a $5/month product...
$5/month is a luxury I doubt even 250,000 people can reliably afford in Nigeria...
It’s okay that we tried and failed
It’s okay that we accept the limitations in the domestic market we find ourselves in"
There are many loopholes in this argument:
1. Advocacy is contextual. When a specific rape allegation is blowing up, the natural, human response is to focus on supporting the alleged victim and calling for accountability. That doesn't erase the concern for false accusations or male victims. Rather, it just means the conversation is responding to the current ugly incident. Demanding that every single agitation against rape must equally center "the other side" before it's even proven false is like insisting Christians talk about the Muslims also getting killed every time there is an Islamic terrorist attack against Christians. It is a harmful narrative that defeats the purpose of the conversation.
Silence on an issue while addressing the current grave issue at hand, does not mean apathy for the other. Many people (including those saying "men stop raping women") have condemned false accusations, supported male victims, and called out female perpetrators in other contexts, threads, or real life. One focused post doesn't prove lifelong selective blindness. Stop mind-reading motives based on what someone didn't say in 280 characters.
2. You call out people who say "men stop raping women" as performative but reflexively injecting "false rape allegations destroy lives" into virtually every rape allegation thread before facts are even clear, is its own form of performance. It can (and often does) intimidate victims from speaking, cast doubt on credible cases preemptively, and shift sympathy toward the accused by default.
3. Yes, false allegations happen and devastate lives. No serious person denies that. Male victims and female perpetrators exist and deserve justice too. But pretending these are morally or practically equivalent in every case ignores the reality that the frequency of male-against-female rape cases is alarmingly high compared to false reports of rape. Insisting that both must be tackled with the same alacrity in every allegation is disingenuous and mischievous.
4. Your "focus only on truth" ideal is detached from how social media activism and justice actually work. Most discussions happen long before trials or full evidence. Public outrage can pressure authorities, support victims through trauma, or highlight patterns. Telling people to shut up and wait neutrally for "truth" often leaves victims isolated when they most need solidarity. If the accusation turns out to be false and the accused is later cleared, plenty of people (including many who initially supported the accuser) condemn the false claim and even push for the false alarmer to face the wrath of the law.
5. Your line "It was not women that was allegedly raped. It was somebody with a name" ignores the broader pattern of violence against women. By framing the victim solely as "somebody with a name" and insisting the focus must be purely individualized, you downplay how rape often operates as a gendered pattern. Yes, every case involves specific individuals but countless women have been raped by men and highlighting systemic issues doesn't erase the victim's individuality; it connects her experience to those of other women who have suffered similarly and often faced disbelief or silence. Reducing it to just "somebody" conveniently erases the reality that most of the victims are women and most of the culprits are men.
6. Genuine care for victims includes due process, concern for false accusations, and gender neutrality — full stop. But your post weaponizes that valid point into an all-or-nothing purity test that is a far-cry from reality. It doesn't promote truth; it poisons discourse by assuming bad faith in anyone who doesn't echo your exact framing every time.If you truly want interconnected justice that helps all victims (girls, boys, men, women), drop the blanket gatekeeping. Yes, call out imbalances where you see them, but stop declaring that the focused anger at rape is the same as hatred of men or the condoning of false rape accusations.

You need to get a job first before taking multiple personal and professional development courses. Except it’s ICAN, ACCA, etc.
Taking professional courses helps advance your career. It is not the main thing in itself.
Work experience, I believe, trumps certifications.
