A lady on twitter went on Lawma portal to check how refuse is collected only to find over 200 companies registered for collection and disposal shared among all the LGAs. After digging deeper she found a beauty salon amongst those companies including some companies having over 10 proxies so whenever you complain about the abysmal waste collection system just remember that that job has been shared amongst their friends and relatives who have no business with waste collection.
A man in my compound taught me a life lesson without saying a word.
He drove a beautiful luxury car, kept to himself, never greeted anyone, and never attended any celebrations in the compound.
When he had his own events, he didn't invite a single person.
He lived as though he didn't need anyone.
Then our security guard resigned.
The new rule was simple, everyone had to open and close the gate themselves. If a car was blocking yours, you had to find the owner.
One morning, this man wanted to drive out, but another car was blocking him.
He didn't know who owned it.
He had no one's phone number.
The same neighbors he had ignored for years suddenly became complete strangers when he needed help.
He ended up going from door to door, humbly asking,
Please, do you know who parked this car downstairs?
Life has a way of reminding us that no matter how successful or independent we think we are, we still need people.
The relationships you neglect today might be the ones you'll need tomorrow.
Be kind.
Greet people.
Build genuine connections.
Reserves stood at roughly $1 billion in 1960, dropped to $0.11 billion by 1967 due to the Civil War, then surged to $3.5 billion in 1970 and $5.0 billion by 1980.
The Central Bank Governor of Nigeria was Roy Pentelow Fenton. He was a British national who served as the first Governor of the bank from 1958 to 1963 while the Federal Finance Minister then was Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh.
Long before British control, Kakawa Street was originally home to wealthy Brazilian and Saro returnees, making it a culturally rich and historic artery of Lagos Island:
Read:
The Kakawa Boys' Club was a prominent youth social group based at No. 5 Kakawa Street, Lagos Island, established in the 1940s by the Nigeria Colony Welfare Department. Designed to provide discipline, camaraderie, and recreational activities for local boys, it taught community values through strict rules and structured daily programming.
It was part of a larger colonial-era youth initiative launched by the Welfare Department in the 1940s and 1950s aimed at giving working-class and neighborhood youths a structured environment.
Neighborhood Unity: Similar to other local clubs of the era (like the Ijero Boys Club in Ebute Metta), it was formed to foster healthy social rivalry, a sense of belonging, and brotherhood among peers.
The Clubhouse CultureOperating Hours: The clubhouse was open daily from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Strict Discipline: The club was known for its strict, unyielding rules. Doors opened exactly at 4:00 PM, and anyone who arrived late found the doors closed and was not permitted entry for the day.
Activities: The boys engaged in a variety of educational, athletic, and goodwill activities, turning this daily meetup into a neighborhood rite of passage.
A Symbol of Old Lagos: The street and its famous club serve as nostalgic symbols of old neighborhood life in Lagos before the advent of endless traffic and high-rise development.

See how the Richest man in the world is recruiting, but Nigerian companies would want you to have 10 years of experience using 25 tools.
"Smart humans figure it out fast," that's fucking genius @elonmusk
I wish other companies would emulate this and know that learning on the job is a normal thing.
SpaceX is actively hiring world-class engineers/physicists for SpaceXAI, even if you have zero prior experience in AI. Smart humans figure it out fast.

To the person who broke into my house last night:
You knew no one was home, and you stole almost everything.
But you made one big mistake you forgot about the DVR and the security cameras that recorded everything.
I now know exactly who you are. What hurts me the most is that you are someone my family knows and respects. Someone we trusted.
You have 5 hours to return every single item you stole and repair the damaged door. Bring everything back to the house.
I know you’re following me, and I know you will see this.
In the 1970s, David Premack wondered if a chimpanzee could be taught to ask a question. He taught Sarah 130 plastic word-tokens. She answered his questions easily. After years of work, she had never asked one of her own. Sixty years later, no signing ape has.
A four-year-old human asks about 25 questions an hour. Paul Harris at Harvard counted them: kids ask their parents around 40,000 questions between ages two and five.
Premack even worked out a method for teaching an ape to ask. Hide a snack the chimp expects. Wait for her to sign "where is it." He never bothered running it on Sarah. She spent her sessions answering his questions, never asking her own. A normal kid, he pointed out, asks "what that? who making noise? when Daddy come home?" on a loop.
Washoe the chimpanzee, the first one taught American Sign Language, knew 250 signs. She could request food. She could sign her name. She once saw a swan and called it "water bird," a sharp invention for an animal she had no sign for. She never asked what the swan was, or where it came from, or anything else.
Koko the gorilla knew about 1,000 signs. Kanzi the bonobo understands more than 3,000 spoken English words. Nim Chimpsky, Herbert Terrace's chimp at Columbia (named to mock the linguist Noam Chomsky), strung 125 signs into more than 20,000 combinations. His longest stretch was "give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." He never asked a thing.
Joseph Jordania, a researcher in Melbourne, thinks this is the line between us and them. To ask a question, you first have to know that the person across from you knows something you don't. Apes do not seem to get to that step, even after a lifetime of being talked at by humans.
Human kids cross that line around their fourth birthday. Apes never do.
This woman on TikTok said: I am so sick of the entitlement of people on these flights. I guess today was my turn.
So I'm seated in my assigned seat in first class. A couple boards after me. They ask the flight attendant if she can move someone so they can sit together. 🙃 She tells them no & they are free to see if anyone will switch.
They got upgraded so their seats are not together. They ask me if I would mind switching seats so they can sit together. The husband is assigned to sit next to me by the window. 🧵
I won't mind meeting new users today and making new friends, we can easily follow each other back without cheating ourselves... @mm_samarie is back and active for more engagements. I design and redesign Graphics/Websites.
