So I’ll be sharing my progress with re-learning React Native here. I’ve already started so I’ll just put that under day 1. Would have daily reports on what I’ve done. Hoping that by day 31 (the end of the month), I’ve re-learnt it to intermediate level and built a few things

Another advantage of being in tech is being able to see a problem and think of multiple solutions instead of just complaining.
When the Nigerian government launched the list of PVC ( CVR) centres, it was a minimal interface that required you to do alot of manual work. When I saw it, I decided to build two things with @Salus_Cloud ASAP.

1. An interface that allows you search your address or location, and it'll show you the closest PVC center from your location.
2. Get daily email reminder with the locations that'll encourage you to go and get your PVC, and these emails will only stop once you tell the system that you've gotten your PVC.

Do your part as a Nigerian today, Join 500+ people and go to https://t.co/WAf4ZjTJAr and find the location close to you.

Kingsley Nebo, (the man on suit), who paid ₦1 million to assassins to murder 25-year-old student Sochima Onoh on July 12 last year, was arraigned in court in Enugu yesterday.

While the judge was about to hear the matter, the police prosecutor presented a letter from the IGP requesting that the case be withdrawn from the court.

A murderer who confessed on video to the crime is being withdrawn?

This sums up the current state of Nigeria.

Nigeria has happened to me.

Ariel has been with Santa Monica for 23 years and has worked on every single God of War mainline game

She has a great track record and proven her work, whereas your track record is being a woman beater

[math dealer2️⃣➕2️⃣ @thegirl_youhate]

She was tortured with bottles and sticks in her private parts for 10 months. her hair was pulled out from her head, leaving her scalp bare.
When women say they don't want to get married, they fear such husband and in-laws. But you all keep crying gold digger, body count, alimony.

bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.

but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.

None of this is satire.

→ A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits

→ Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped

→ Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features

→ A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather

→ Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled

→ Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

- Nikesh Patel goes to police crying that his wife is ‘missing’
- During questioning Nikesh, police finds out he himself SOLD his wife for ₹50,000 because he ‘didn’t like her’
- Police then busts human trafficking racket and rescues his wife
- Wife shares harrowing details of being gang raped, assaulted and robbed of her jewellery by the same people her husband sold her off to

Some crimes are so evil they genuinely make your brain stop for a second.

“My name is Temitope Mary, I’m from Ibadan”

She is from Ibadan
She’s backing an infant
They have been outside in the harsh weather
In the badlands
In the hands of Terrorists.

My name is Olajuwon Subair, I’m from Ibadan.
I have a son.
He has a mother.
I have a school of 100 children in an underserved community.

I am devastated. What if it was my wife introducing herself with Adeoye on her back?

What if Ile Nla was raided by terrorists and those 100 children were kidnapped in my hall?

This is not a happy Children’s day

[Adam @adamdotdev]

It's 2026 and your CEO just sent you a 2,400 line pull request.

You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it.

It's a disaster. A dozen unrelated refactors. Unused methods with names like `convertFromBase10` and `normalizeBeforeSerialization`.

You catch a few hardcoded API keys, but that's ok. It's part of the dance. They didn't consider that someone might look at this diff. Here's a comment buddy.

They respond in an hour (after Copilot, qodo, CodeRabbit and Greptile finish their reviews) saying we shouldn't worry about "implementation details" anymore, those are relics of the past. Hey let's jump into a room and figure it out. We can't just agree to disagree, this is probably my last job in tech and I can't watch this fucker burn the place to the ground.

The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of apathy and dread with Hannah the intern (she has to review his AI generated social media posts ever since Grok got too imaginative).

That night you go to sleep and have nightmares of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids.

You go to work the next day ready to quit. You no longer understand the system. There is no foundation. Time to use those savings and an SBA loan to buy a liquor store and never login to GitHub again.

So there is this child in my compound that is close to me. Turned 16 this year. We were having random conversations this evening and you know I just casually asked about school and she told me she's never been, not at all. I was shocked cause she speaks english well like the

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

In May 1860, she kissed her six children goodbye. She thought about the dinner she would cook later. She thought about the laundry. She thought about the quiet life of a mother in Illinois.

She had no idea that when the front door clicked shut, it would stay locked for three long years.

Her husband, Theophilus Packard, was a respected minister. To the neighbors, he was a man of God. But inside their home, he was a man who could not stand a wife who thought for herself. Elizabeth Packard liked to read.

She liked to debate religion. She had her own opinions about life and faith. In the 19th century, for a woman to have a brain was considered a danger.

Theophilus decided to end the argument once and for all. He didn’t need a crime. He didn't need a witness. In those days, the law in Illinois said a man could commit his wife to an insane asylum without any evidence or a public hearing. He simply had to say she was "disturbed."

One morning, a group of men arrived at her home. They didn't listen to her logic. They didn't care about her tears. They dragged her away to the Jacksonville Insane Asylum. Elizabeth was 43 years old, perfectly sane, and suddenly a prisoner.

When she entered the asylum, she expected to see people who needed medical help. Instead, she found a warehouse of "inconvenient" women. There were wives who had argued with their husbands about money. There were daughters who refused to marry men they didn't love. There were women who were simply too loud or too independent.

"This is not a hospital," Elizabeth realized. "It is a cage for the unwanted."

The doctors tried to break her spirit. They told her that if she just admitted her husband was right and she was wrong, she could go home. They wanted her to say she was crazy for wanting her own thoughts. Elizabeth looked them in the eye and said, "I cannot buy my liberty by a lie."

She didn’t give up. Instead, she started to write. She hid scraps of paper in the linings of her clothes. She tucked notes under floorboards. She recorded every abuse, every scream in the night, and every story of the women around her. She became a secret journalist inside a living nightmare.

After three years, she was finally released, but her husband locked her in a room at home. He planned to move her to another asylum in a different state. This time, Elizabeth’s friends helped her get a message to a judge.

A trial was finally ordered to determine if she was actually insane.

The courtroom was packed. Theophilus was confident. He brought "experts" to say that her religious doubts proved her mind was broken. But then, Elizabeth stood up.

She didn't shout.

She spoke with the calm power of the truth. She explained her beliefs. She showed the jury that having a different opinion is not a disease.

The jury only needed seven minutes. They came back with a single word: Sane.

Elizabeth walked out as a free woman, but she found that her husband had taken everything. He had sold their furniture, taken her money, and disappeared with their children. She was alone and penniless.

Most people would have disappeared into the shadows. Elizabeth did the opposite. She spent the next forty years traveling the country. She stood before the legislature and demanded new laws.

She said, "A woman's mind is her own, and the law must protect it."

Because of her, states changed their laws. They made it illegal to lock a person away without a fair trial and a medical exam. She turned her private pain into a public shield for thousands of other women.

She proved that even if you take away a woman’s home, her money, and her children, you can never truly take away her voice.

PLEASE NIGERIANS, HELP MY BROTHER 😭😭
Help me tag @mikeachimugu01 🙏

My brother is going through a very serious situation right now.

He returned to Nigeria from China today, May 11th, 2026, aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight. After landing early this morning, he discovered that only ONE out of his FOUR bags arrived.

He immediately reported the issue to airline officials, filled out the necessary forms, and was told the remaining bags would arrive later in the afternoon.

When he returned to the airport this afternoon to collect them, he discovered that one of the bags had been vandalized and five phones were missing from inside — including Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL devices 😭💔

He went to the airline’s office in Abuja to report the theft, but they only asked him to send an email.

Out of frustration and shock, he raised his voice at the airport, and people around him reportedly said incidents like this have happened before and that he is not the first victim 😭😭

The most painful part is that the phones do NOT belong to him. 🙏😭

Please Nigerians, help us amplify this until something is done.

FORZA HORIZON 6 LEAKED 10 DAYS EARLY AND MICROSOFT IS TO BLAME

Someone forgot to encrypt the preload on Steam.
The full game - all 155GB - is now freely available on piracy sites before a single paying customer has touched it.

-> The leak happened because files were uploaded to Steam completely unencrypted
-> 155GB of assets, cars, map data - everything is out there right now
-> This is the SECOND time this year a AAA game leaked this way (Death Stranding 2 in March)
-> FH6 doesn't release until May 19 - pirates have a 10-day head start on buyers

Valve or Microsoft need to explain how this keeps happening.

[Name cannot be blank @hackSultan]

The downside of AI that people don’t talk about is what the future might look like.

Right now, AI is heavily subsidised, and big corp devs are already spending 2x their monthly salary on AI credits.
Most people no longer want to learn coding from scratch because they feel like AI can do it for them.
But when everyone fully depends on AI and the price goes up, the people who will lose the most will be small companies. They won’t be able to afford it at that cost, and they also won’t find enough junior engineers to hire because people have stopped learning.

This is the best time for you to actually learn core engineering alongside AI.

Chelsea Perkins murdered the man who raped her.

She pled guilty and took full responsibility.

She was given 22.5 years in prison.

Jesse Mack Butler raped and strangled two children. One sustained such severe neck injuries she almost died.

He got community service.
