“If I do not provide steady electricity in four years, do not vote for me for 2nd Tenure,” -BAT
Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
“Move Fast and Break Things” vs “Move Slow and Forge Things”
“Move fast and break things” was a something we invented at Facebook to get a bunch of entitled Ivy League kids to grind for us. It worked.
Then, all of Silicon Valley mistakenly confused correlation with causation and adopted this mode for themselves without questioning it.
In a world of AI, those that continue to pray at this altar will be the first to lose their jobs.
Moving fast and breaking things is exactly the low hanging fruit that AI will automate.
Learn to move slow and forge things. Make things that can stand the test of time. Learn discipline and process and you’ll have a job forever.
@Ssaasquatch I decided to test the market in 2021.
Put in $15k, made $45k in less than a month and was like who 10%/annum help!
Got to multiple 6-figs, my arbitrary target I set was so close then boom ftx, the market crashed, liquidations.
Now I always rotate back to 10%/annum
Writing rust doesn’t make you cracked. Rust just gives you certain things out of the box without trading performance.
Also if you aren’t doing systems level stuff, rust is just pretty much like Go or other typed language in situations where you don’t need explicit lifetime management.
What makes you cracked is what you can do with the tool you are given.
These ill*gal streaming websites are so professional these days. They got the skip intro and next episode features and even remember where I last watched. They don't even have the ads telling me I won an iPhone or sexy singles 2km away. We've come a long way man wow.
