@Sai_Ishaya_ I have no issue with the government spending £1.3bn for infrastructure that will be in place by 2031.

But they'll actually be spending £3bn on infrastructure that will be in place by 2038. They don't have a clue how to pull off an infrastructure project on time and on budget.

There is a lot of luck invovled with finding a spouse, particularly one worthy of having children with, so I side-eye pretty much all comments looking down on those who haven't settled down. It's arrogant and shows a lack of self-awareness.

Bola Tinubu is in his 80s and, according to his supporters, still fit enough to occupy the most demanding office in the country. Yet the same people suddenly think Pastor Adeboye, who is in the same age bracket, is too old to lead a peaceful protest. Ronu logic, dawg. 😭😭😭

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

These are the issues. The cars, the staff, the security details, the houses, the flights.

I don't know why ordering scans is so hard with the NHS

Aspiring barrister, 20, was treated 'like a time-waster' in hospital by doctors who sent her home before she died in agony, inquest hears

Libby Instone, a 20-year-old aspiring barrister and Newcastle University law student, died in agony after being repeatedly dismissed as a “time-waster” by staff at North Tees University Hospital.

She visited the urgent care centre three times in just over 24 hours in August 2023 with severe vomiting and abdominal pain, only to be misdiagnosed with gastroenteritis and sent home twice without proper examination or scans.

On her final visit she waited nine hours in A&E, was given a drip and painkillers, then admitted, but it was too late. She collapsed at home the next day and could not be saved.

An inquest in Middlesbrough ruled her death was contributed to by neglect and “gross failures in care”, with multiple missed opportunities to spot a blocked small intestine that a simple scan and operation could have fixed.

Her devastated mother Susan said: “Libby was treated as an annoyance, a time-waster and was never shown any compassion.”

The coroner recorded a narrative conclusion highlighting the failure to investigate persistent symptoms despite four days of black vomit and extreme pain.

Baby clothes are the only thing you own that gets worthless and priceless at the same time.

A onesie costs a few dollars and gets worn maybe 20 times before he sizes out of it in a couple months. Then it goes in a box you never open again.

This is the actual move. Every square here is a timestamp. The Halloween shirt, the Valentine's one, the first trip to Disney. A closet's worth of fabric you were about to donate becomes a timeline you can wrap a kid in.

Most keepsakes fail for one reason: you store them. They go in the attic and the memory dies in the dark. A blanket is the rare one that stays in rotation, getting used, washed, dragged around the house, slept under for years.

The stuff you actually remember is the stuff you never stopped touching. She found the one format that keeps the clothes in your hands. That's why it works.

Stories like this are why many women insist on having financial independence. It's not because money guarantees happiness, but because dependence can become a dangerous vulnerability when relationships change.

A child in a medical emergency should never become collateral damage in a conflict between adults.

Your mother's experience is heartbreaking, and the fact that she carried a convulsing child home with no help is the kind of reality that shapes people's views for life.

Whether someone marries a kind person or not, kindness is not a financial plan. Every adult deserves some level of economic security, not out of distrust, but because life can change without warning.

I have also directed the deployment of a specialised security unit with advanced rescue capabilities to intensify efforts to secure the safe return of the abducted pupils and teachers.

The communities' request for the establishment of a military base in the area is receiving urgent consideration.

I share the pain and anxiety of the affected families. No child should be taken from the safety of a classroom. No parent should have to endure this anguish.

@ParallelFacts @NwakunaCharles Which DSS? We waste too much time on nothing
Let me tell you for free
The DSS will rather arrest me for writing this than investigate anything that concerns APC henchmen
They along with EFCC and INEC are the lost bastardized institutions in Nigeria today

My unpopular opinion is that Nigeria needs to stop! We need to pause and acknowledge the trauma we are living through. Unions need to go on strike. Everyone needs to take a week long moment of silence. Going on like nothing is happening, is inhumane and insane. Phew!
