@EuginhoCortez Saw the second part a couple of days ago and wow.
I like an action movie that knows exactly what it is. Silly, bloody, totally hard-core action.
@ose_anenih Firstly, did the Nigerian government have any indication this was going to happen, and if no, why didn't they?
What exactly is the NIA doing?
To ensure our security, we need to be aware of (and control) the political happenings in neighbouring countries.
@MrSawyerr After starting somewhat slowly, I'm starting to enjoy the flashback storyline a whole lot more than present silo events.
That last scene in Ep9 is probably the best of the entire series.
@MuduwaKerra African politicians generally don't think about legacy.
I wonder how desperate he must be feeling to begin his campaign with the subsidy gambit.
I worry a large number of people may be dumb enough to actually believe him.
1. Do not rent a house close to a church, mosque, or school. You’ll regret it if you do.
2. The first red flag when you are house hunting is if the landlord/landlady lives in the compound. Abort mission.
3. The best time to house hunt is during the rainy season. It helps you avoid places that are prone to flooding and erosion.
4. The kind of people who live in the compound, street, or estate is very important. It is best to live among married or family people. This will save you from trouble. I’ll not explain further.
5. Check for proximity to a standard gym, supermarket, pharmacy, filling station, hospital/clinic, and police station.
6. Any house that is asking for two years’ rent upwards is a red flag. They’ll most likely serve you a quit notice after those two years so they can rent it out to someone who will pay two years’ rent and pay all the caution fees you paid.
7. Check how frequently they bring light in that area. Don’t ask the house agent or tenants. Ask those shop owners and children on that street. They’ll tell you the truth.
8. Always ask and check if the last occupant of the house is owing light bills. If you don’t, you’ll end up paying for light that you didn’t use.
9. Check for network. Do not rent a house where you have to go to your kitchen before you can have access to good network.
10. Take your time. If it is going to take you six months to find a house of your taste and budget, then wait and keep searching. Never pay for a house in a haste or out of desperation.
11. If it is not a new house, do your findings to know why the last tenant of the apartment you want to rent packed out.
12. Ask about their policies. Do they allow generators? Do they lock the gate too early? Do they rent out apartments to people with questionable characters, occupations, etc.? These are red flags that may land you in trouble if you ignore them.
A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN. https://t.co/FGCtPizvLb
Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.
“Checkers on a chess board.”
THE WIRE (2002–2008) managed to explain its entire world through D’Angelo teaching Bodie and Wallace chess. Avon is the king, Stringer is the queen, and the pawns are expendable.
And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side.'
'All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, everpresent perils of life.
