@grok https://t.co/ocjq8bMWse reliable is the verification data from yourself and other social media/search engine in-built AI agents?
There's currently a view that search engines would ultimately be replaced by AI search agents like yourself.
2. What is your take on this?

He had other works too including a Yoruba primary school reader I was privileged to read from my dad's library because my dad schooled in his 'axis of influence as an Educator'.
I will post his Wikipedia page soon and we can all check out his complete works.

@nonewthing I am getting Barcola vibes from him though.

[Uncle Sola @solaadio]

25 years ago, I wanted to reconcile a friend over here with his parents back home.

Part 1
I had successfully convinced him using scriptures that he should forgive the past and soften his stance. I also took £100 off him and put it in an envelope.

Part 2
I went to Nigeria to meet with the parents. I turned up with an artificial mood of one who came to break some bad news about their son. They were shivering and wanted to know who I was and what news I brought. They were really very scared.

Then I pulled out an envelope, they thought it was some bad news letter only to find £100 from my friend. They lightened up. Then I preached to them that they also should let go. I said to them that if they needed anyone to come look after them that I won't come, it's their son that will come and that if he doesn't attend to them, they may die lonely without care. I told them he was their retirement plan and not anyone else. They got the message and promised to do the needful. I made them pray and bless him.

Part 3
Back in UK, doors opened. MSc completed. 2 sons came. Job came. Welfare improved.

Spiritual lesson
Somehow honouring your parents has an effect on your welfare. One day I led PRG people to forgive their parents. Guess what. As one girl uttered the words of forgiveness, in less than 60 seconds, her father (who knew nothing about what the girl did) wired 100K to her unprovoked, a man that hadn't spoken to her in 5 years.

Don't drag me if you disagree with me. You are free to curse your own parents if you want. None of my business.

My guy just hit me up — he’s rounding off his PhD in the USA 🇺🇸, resuming a full-time industry job in a few weeks, and he got his EB-1 green card a few weeks ago. 🥹🤩

I just dey blush for phone 🤣🤣 At the same time, my mind just went back to how life used to be for him during Physics lab days and in the hostel, since we stayed in the same hostel at Ojuri.

This guy was reading Physics like mad 😭😭 Always doing tutorials, always carrying book.

There’s no name people didn’t call this guy in that hostel 😂😂

Today, see how beautifully life is unfolding for him:

PhD ✅
Industry job ✅
Green card ✅

I’m genuinely so happy for him 🥹❤️

If you dey school for Naija, abeg no gree o! Read!!! 😭😭

Read that book. Chase that First Class. Take your academics seriously.

You may not see the full picture today, but academic excellence can open doors you never imagined.

That First Class can change the trajectory of your life like mad!!! 🚀🔥

First time I saw a cow in America was the day I landed in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2007.

Been expecting skyscrapers.

Saw a cow.

Sat with the disappointment for about fifteen minutes, then remembered: I did not come here for the picture. I came here for the ladder.

Cow or no cow, the ladder was there. Rungs looked different from what my Nigerian imagination had painted, but the rungs were real.

Same message to the young ones today: your destination will not look like the brochure. Climb anyway.

[Drealz ⚡️ @General_Drealz]

Say this silent prayer before bed 🔥

Lord, Show me how good it can get, Surprise me with opportunities I never expected.

Connect me with people I never knew I needed, Take me into rooms I could never ever enter on my own.

Give me the courage to leave survival mode and believe better days are possible. I release every fear that keeps me attached to struggle and I declare that my past will not interfere with my future and fear will not stop me.

Let me walk in your image. Amen 🙏

To immigrant parents raising Black children in the UK: we cannot afford to parent on autopilot.

I keep saying that where a child grows up matters. The latest GCSE results are another reminder of that. There are significant differences in educational outcomes depending on where children live.

But for our children, there are other realities we cannot ignore.

Black children are disproportionately represented in parts of the youth justice and care systems. Black boys in particular are more likely to experience stop and search and racial profiling. We also know that Black children can experience adultification, harsher interpretations of their behaviour and disproportionate exclusions from school.

And there is another issue I see far too often: a Black child with undiagnosed ADHD/Autism or other neurodevelopmental needs being described as “disruptive”, “defiant”, “aggressive” or simply badly behaved when somebody should be asking what is going on for this child?

This isn’t about teaching our children that the world is against them. Absolutely not.
But it’s about recognising the world they are growing up in and preparing them to thrive in it.

And that requires intentional parenting. Please stay involved in your children’s lives. Know their friends, know what they are doing online, know what is happening at school, attend parents’ evenings, read the emails the school sends you and challenge things when something doesn’t seem right. If you suspect additional needs, don’t wait years hoping they will grow out of it. Ask questions and seek support.

And please invest in their education wherever you reasonably can. If they’re struggling and you can afford tutoring, get the tutor. If you can’t, find out what additional support the school or community can provide. Encourage reading, expose them to opportunities and help them discover what they’re good at. Build their confidence and aspirations.

I know immigrant life in the UK can be exhausting. People are working incredibly hard just to keep households running. But this is not the season to become so consumed with providing for our children that we have no time left to actually raise them.

Your presence matters just as much as your provision.

We cannot control every disadvantage our children may encounter. But we can make damn sure they leave our homes with every advantage we were able to give them.

Guys, when you are in a long-term relationship with a good woman, try everything you can to improve her. I don’t just mean with material things. Remember: “I even bought her IPhone and “Bone Straight” is for weak and inferior men. Yes, you will do those but they shouldn’t be your claim to fame.

Improve her professionally, academically (if she wants) and financially, and give her security. You will benefit from it more than you think.

@SirJarus Happy birthday, Offa Haaland. Long life and prosperity sir.

I asked our young engineers to create a prototype technology that could fix election integrity in Nigeria.

The way it will work is simple: voters come to the polling station, tap their voter’s card on an electronic tablet or machine, and the political parties for that election appear. They then tap to select a party, and fingerprint or facial authentication takes place.

Once that is confirmed, the vote is recorded in real time and also sent to a live server where everyone in the country can see it in real time.

This will be done in Enugu by our stars within the next 2 weeks.

They will build both the software and hardware components.

I’m raising a generation that sees solutions to every problem instead of dwelling too much on complaining.

Since I had my daughter, I’ve always been the one making her hair. Then I noticed my neighbour’s daughter, who was still in secondary school, making hair for many kids around us.

I decided to encourage her because I admired how hardworking she was and how she was already trying to make a living at such a young age.

She has been making my daughter’s hair ever since.

Yesterday, I asked her to make a special hairstyle because my daughter’s birthday is coming up. When my daughter got home, I noticed the money I had given her for the hair was still in her bag.

I called the girl, thinking she had mistakenly returned it. She said, “No, ma. That’s my birthday present to her. The hair is free.”

Omo, this really touched me. ❤️ For a young girl to think of doing something like this with what she has earned herself is such a beautiful thing to see.

Honestly, this little gesture meant more to me than she probably realizes.

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

I just heard something that made me want to say this again:

Nobody brags about drinking at work.

But people brag about sleeping four hours.

Yet somehow, being exhausted has become proof that you’re working hard.

A 2026 Wellhub study found that 69% of employees sleep fewer than seven hours a night.

And after 24 hours without sleep, your performance can be impaired to a level comparable to a 0.10% blood alcohol concentration.

Hustling is not the same thing as functioning.

Please sleep.

Rest is not the reward you get when all the work is finished.

It is part of how you stay capable of doing the work at all.

Living abroad can turn ordinary Nigerian food into a logistics operation.

You find one African store forty minutes away. The price of plantain needs a meeting. Somebody says they have yam and brings out something you have to inspect properly.

Then a friend comes back from Nigeria with food in a cooler bag and suddenly everything is fine again.

The stockfish. The crayfish. The proper yam. The things you didn’t even know you missed until you smelled them in your kitchen.

That’s the funny thing about food.

It can make somewhere thousands of miles away feel close again.

So yes, I understand why people guard the last piece of stockfish like intellectual property.

It is not greed.

It is supply-chain management.

[Naijasermon.com @naijasermons]

An 84-year-old man was on his deathbed, giving his son one final piece of advice. As he reflected on his life, he pointed him to Genesis 3.

He said, "More than fifty years ago, I saw a Playboy magazine. I saw the image of a naked woman. Today, as I lie on my deathbed, I can still see that picture vividly in my mind. I have never been able to erase it."

There are some things you may never fully recover from once you expose yourself to them. Sometimes, your greatest blessing is that you never experienced them in the first place.

Think about it: humanity's troubles began with exposure to forbidden knowledge. Genesis 3 reminds us that what Adam and Eve chose to know changed everything. That is why we wear clothes today.

I've also seen people become mentally and spiritually unhealthy because of an excessive obsession with demonology. Yes, the Bible says we should not be ignorant of the devil's devices (2 Corinthians 2:11), but that does not mean every Christian should immerse themselves in books and teachings that constantly magnify darkness.

If you are still growing in your faith and learning to guard your mind, an unhealthy fixation on demonic activities is not wisdom. What you consistently behold becomes amplified in your consciousness.

Many Christians know things they were never meant to know.

The same principle applies to sin. Some of us are not addicted to drugs simply because we never tried them. You may think addiction is easy to overcome, but perhaps your greatest protection was that you never took the first step.

Sometimes, your greatest testimony is not that God delivered you from something, but that His grace kept you from ever touching it.

Your saving grace was that you never reached for the tree.
