Apple yıllardır Çin’de olmasına rağmen tek bir sızıntı olmamıştı. Ama sözde riskleri dağıtmak için bir kaç yıldır Hindistan’da operasyonlarını yürütüyordular.
Ne mi oldu? Hintliler IPhone 18’e ait tüm verileri sızdırmışlar. Ama öyle ufak bir sızıntı gibi düşünmeyin. Bildiğiniz her şeyi sızdırmışlar. Tata gruptan gerçekleşen sızıntıda, iPhone 18 Pro’nun 630 GB’lık çekirdek verisini (tedarikçi isimleri, taban fiyatlar, tam mühendislik çizimleri dahil) direkt dark web’e yüklemişler.
Eskiden en fazla Foxconn’da işçiler birkaç bulanık kasa fotoğrafı paylaşırdı. Hintliler resmen iPhone 18’in DNA’sını paylaşmışlar. Şaka gibi ama 200 bin dosya paylaşılmış.
Öyle büyük bir sızıntı ki bu bilgilerle Huawei’nin bile iPhone 18’i bir kaç güne piyasaya sürebileceği esprileri dahi yapılıyor.
Apple de-risk istiyordu fakat Hindistan riskin ta kendisini olmuş.
Providus Bank will send someone to come and confirm that I stay where I claimed to stay but you want me to believe that CBN didn’t do any due diligence?
When I worked at Home Depot, we had a protocol for Code Adam: a lost child. We stopped the exits and nobody left with a kid, and we searched the places where kids often turned up.
One day, a Code Adam was called. I went with a manager I knew to sweep the restrooms. I checked the ladies; empty. I joined him in the men's where he had found the kid. The kid was accompanied by an adult he did not know, who had changed the boy's clothes and was caught in the act of cutting the kid's hair...
Behold, Nigeria’s smartest con artist, who was somehow able to get an appointment letter from the presidency, smuggle the name of his agency into the budget, find the high level documents necessary to open an official CBN account, employed staff, got an office in the Federal Secretariat, got a budget for his office, was able to summon and have meetings with ambassadors and international business people, probably had a diplomatic passport. And magically made the only person who could prove his story die tragically in a hotel fire that killed only one man days before he could be questioned. A superhero. A genius. Houdini would be proud. We believe you.
Nigerians should be grateful to Matthew Adeyemi Adeniyi, whichever way this scandal ends up.
If @aonanuga1956's elaborate and utterly implausible treatise on the matter is to be believed, Adeyemi has proved what many of us have alleged since 2015 - that the @OfficialAPCNg is a collection of supremely incompetent and greedy criminals.
He fooled the Federal Secretariat management team into allocating offices to his "fake" agency, and thus proved that they are at the very least utterly incompetent and possibly irredeemably corrupt.
He fooled the @cenbank, @DrYemiCardoso et al, into opening CBN accounts for his agency, thus proving that the CBN under Cardoso has turned into a cesspit of an insane level of incompetence and again, possibly fetid corruption.
He fooled the President Tinubu and his Minister of Finance into including his "fake" agency in the 2026 budget, this proving their lack of diligence and lack of dedication to their jobs.
He fooled the National Assembly, led by @SenGodswill, into passing that budget, with an actual financial allocation of billions of ₦₦₦ for his "fake" agency, thus proving that the National Assembly of the @OfficialAPCNg is nothing but a rubber stamp and possibly deeply corrupt.
If Adeyemi is right, and the agency really exists and was in fact created by the Presidency, included in the budget and given an allocation from taxpayer funds, he has proved that the @OfficialAPCNg government of @officialABAT is a cesspit of metastasised grand larceny, greed, corruption, avarice, and just plain looting - which is a position many of us have long held, since before Tinubu acquired the Presidency.
As resilient as Nigeria has proved to be, I do not think Nigeria will survive this stratospheric level of conjoined corruption and incompetence.

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.
When you're trying to build your wardrobe, think collection, not shopping spree.
One shirt. One trouser. One accessory at a time.
Even if it's just one piece a month, keep adding to it.
A great wardrobe is built piece by piece, not in a single payday.
Before you know it, you'll have a solid wardrobe without draining your account all at once.
Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with a very successful friend who runs her own fund. She is a gorgeous Nigerian in her early 40s, and she told me that she had given up on marriage because she sees it as an oppressive institution. I decided to probe further to learn.
