Fridges are off, but at least we won’t catch catarrh from cold water what thoughtful leadership
A master strategist of suffering, the grand renewer of shege, father of the masses, architect of their suffering in reality.
Thank you for the student loan scheme a masterstroke. First, raise school fees beyond reach, then offer loans so students can graduate straight into debt. Visionary
Thank you for fixing electricity so perfectly that people now ration power like medicine.
You know your database can return 10,000+ records, yet you ship an unpaginated endpoint.
Now users think their internet is slow, your server is sweating, and attackers are smiling because DoS just became a feature.
You know better. Do better next time, abeg.
So hunger never bothered you, but now that insecurity is reaching your side, you suddenly understand the situation? It’s easy to say ‘we can manage hunger’ when you’ve never truly felt it. Now that the problem is about to touch your comfort zone, everything is suddenly serious.
Maybe if people like you stopped acting like things are fine until it affects you personally, we would’ve demanded better a long time ago.
Anyway, the real question isn’t ‘what can be done?’ it’s whether you’re finally ready to speak up before the next issue comes directly for you.
Abuja people are a special breed. Everybody is rushing to nowhere. On one side, you have “along” drivers who don’t obey traffic rules and are ready to run over anyone because of one passenger they’re racing to get. On the other hand, you have educated fools some with covered plate numbers, some with government plate numbers who don’t obey traffic lights. As for the ones acting normal, may God bless them.
Social media will just make people feel like SAN overnight. Because tell me why my friend who studies botany is out here arguing with real Esqs about the Wike and officer saga. The weyrey is even quoting sections of the Constitution that only God knows where he found them.
Thank you for asking this question.
It’s simple, MacBooks are just on another level. The build quality? Unreal. That solid aluminum chassis feels like it’s crafted by angels. The display? Razor sharp, colors so rich it’s like your eyes just got an upgrade. And the battery life? It just doesn’t die.
Then there’s macOS, smooth, stable, zero nonsense. No bloatware, no random pop-ups begging for updates every five minutes. Everything just works. The integration with iPhone, iPad, AirPods it’s like living in the future. You AirDrop files, copy text on your phone and paste on your Mac, unlock it with your Apple Watch it’s sorcery.
And don’t even get me started on the M series chips. They’re absolute monsters(used one last month, I swear it made me fall in love with coding again). Silent, cool, blazing fast like having a supercomputer that sips power. Once you use one, going back to anything else feels like stepping into the Stone Age.
It started with C, where I learned the raw logic of programming every semicolon counted. Then came C++, and suddenly coding felt like crafting real systems. Curiosity led me to Python, R, and SQL the tools behind machine learning and data science magic. And finally, JavaScript pulled me into the world of web development, where ideas come alive on screen.
From C to JavaScript, it’s been a journey from logic to creativity and it’s only getting more exciting.
Day 12 Progress
Connected the cart backend with the frontend.
Implemented core cart features, add to cart, update quantity (increase/decrease), and remove items.
Integrated React Sheet for smooth UI interactions and Sonner Toast for instant user feedback.
Used dispatch to handle state updates efficiently.
Everything’s running smoothly now the cart system is fully functional and synced end-to-end.
Day 11 Progress (motivation: low, coding only when I feel like)
Built and tested my cart controllers for the RIM app:
✅ Add to cart
✅ Fetch cart items
✅ Update item quantity
✅ Delete cart items
Fully working and tested on Postman!
NYSC Portal Crashing. The Same Old Digital Chaos
It’s not surprising anymore. Every batch, we see the same pattern, the NYSC registration portal opens, thousands of hopeful graduates rush in at once, and the system collapses under the weight.
The likely culprit isn’t a mystery. It’s a mix of server overload, poor scalability, and unstable data links with NIMC. When everyone tries to verify their identity or register at the same time, the backend simply can’t handle it.
And it’s not as if NYSC doesn’t know this they absolutely do. These are textbook load management issues that can be solved with better infrastructure, proper stress testing, and distributed cloud systems.
I remember during our own time, we went through the exact same thing, endless error messages, failed logins, sleepless nights refreshing the page. It’s now becoming a predictable trend, and honestly, it shouldn’t be.
Nigerians deserve a more resilient system, one that respects the time, effort, and anxiety of every Nigerian graduate.
When I was in secondary school, I used to hate it. But when I got to university, I started missing secondary school and began to hate university. Now that I’m doing a 9–5, I miss my university days.
My theory is: once you pass a stage, you’ll probably miss it.
The only place I pray I won’t miss is this world because omo, if you go to heaven and start missing earth, your own don finish be that!
Progress for Days 9 and 10:
Still working on the customer shopping page. The 'Sort By' and filter functionalities are now working perfectly. Redesigned the UI, made it possible to click and view product details, and ensured it’s responsive across all devices.
Let’s remember what U.S. interventions have meant in the 21st century:
Afghanistan (2001): Started to fight terrorism after 9/11, ended 20 years later with the Taliban back in power.
Iraq (2003): Invaded over “weapons of mass destruction” that were never found the war left hundreds of thousands dead and gave birth to ISIS.
Libya (2011): NATO helped remove Gaddafi, but the country collapsed into chaos, civil war, and human trafficking.
Syria (2014): Airstrikes and proxy wars weakened ISIS, but millions were displaced and the country shattered.
Every time, the goal was stability the result was often more instability.
Now some people want U.S. troops in Nigeria to help fight terrorism.
We all agree: these terrorists are like a cancer, and Nigerians are tired of living in fear. But history shows that foreign boots on the ground usually bring more problems than they solve.
What we need is partnership, not occupation cutting. edge technology, intelligence sharing, and training support so Nigeria can strengthen its own defenses.
We want help, not a repeat of the same mistakes that turned other nations into endless war zones.
Think carefully what you wish for U.S. presence sounds like a solution, but history shows it often makes things worse.
