THIS IS WHY I STARTED. .

I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.

And I did. By God’s grace, I play for @PSG_Feminines and I captain the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

But as my career grew, I started to notice something that broke my heart.

The coaches doing this work every single day across Nigeria on grassroots pitches, in communities, with barely any resources, no one is investing in them.

No certificate. No formal training. No support. Just passion. Just love for the game.

So I made a decision.

I started the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation NIS Coaching Education Scholarship because I believe that if you invest in the coach, you invest in every single player they will ever coach for the rest of their career and for the rest of their lives.

Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.

Let us invest in those coaches.

If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

i aint ever seen a player have to deny plans to go into power before

[K. D. Ivi-Oreh @NagosBigBoi]

Yay!!

Let me help the ADC & APC supporters with marketing themselves.

We already know:

Vote NDC: Nigeria will be OK

Now we can add:

Vote ADC: Nigeria will be (rated) AA (by all credit rating agencies)!

Vote APC: Nigeria will become TS (too solid)

😁

If you’re good, you go to Madrid. If you’re shit, you go to Arsenal.

But you only leave after winning with us.

[Moe @Mochievous]

I am having a cognitive dissonance with Lagos. I’m very careful not to say Nigeria. We all know the economy is bad (this is probably my worst year as a business) but there’s also a certain way i’ve seen money being spent that is isn’t matching with the reality on paper.

Marc Cucurella has completed a permanent transfer to Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid.

Everyone at Chelsea FC would like to thank Marc for his efforts during his time at the club and for the role he played in our recent achievements.

Sustained wealth happens when you have a community thinking together. The key person who is visibly wealthy only achieves that wealth because others also have skin in the game and propel them for their benefit.

I am not engaging in "trillionaire worship" like others, but what was instructive about the SpaceX IPO was that the cafeteria workers and janitors at the same company also became wealthy. That is a bigger deal than anything else.

I hear so much talk about founders and investors in African entrepreneurship, but what nobody tells you is that the people who also became wealthy are the people who supported the entrepreneur and the enterprise with work.

Decades ago, I discovered that Dangote's depot operators, when he was selling commodities, were also Naira billionaires in their own right. They didn't need to cheat him to get wealthy, as most misguided people believe employees should do; they had an arrangement that made all of them wealthy.

Dangote took the financial risk while the depot chiefs took the operational risks. I see this same dynamic in many supply chains in Africa. My wife's aunt's 70th birthday in Accra last year was attended by all the key FMCG players and traders who worked together in an ecosystem that they all profited from.

Aliko became rich because his family learned about this model long before anyone else did. He benefited immensely from it, and he is passing this same ecosystem-building approach on to the next generation of his family.

This aspect of African entrepreneurship is rarely discussed. People want to hear grass-to-grace stories or miracles. True wealth in reality is built by communities and ecosystems that work in sync. I will be talking about it a lot more.

I survived surgery yesterday, and I am grateful for another chance to keep doing this.

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday.

The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

QUICK NOTE
I am glad Nigerians are engaged in discussions about the management of the economy, both fiscal and monetary. This matters even more as we head towards the polls, dealing with the gains, pains and fears of the reforms implemented thus far.

The post below is useful, but it also shows why economic issues require nuance beyond headlines. See...., the claim that the #IMF asked Nigeria to impose fuel and telecom taxes is substantially true, but incompletely framed. That framing may reflect the trust deficit that has built up over time with such statements, but we should not deepen it. We should help reduce it.

The IMF did not simply say “impose fuel and telecom taxes now.” In its 2026 Article IV Staff Report, it said Nigeria may need further tax policy changes over the medium term, including increasing VAT, extending VAT to fuel products, rationalising tax exemptions, and introducing telecom excises.

But it also added an important caveat. The timing of such reforms must consider poverty and food insecurity, and ensure that the cash transfer system is in place and funded.

Paragraph 20, Fiscal Policy, page 17, states:
“Further tax policy changes will likely be needed, such as increasing the VAT rate, extending VAT to fuel products, rationalising tax expenditures … and introducing telecom excises, to complement administrative gains. The timing of reforms must consider the poverty and food insecurity situation and ensure that the cash transfer system is in place and funded.”

See: https://t.co/bob1Omdcdb

The Executive Board summary also notes that additional tax policy measures may be needed over the medium term, including to fund a scaled-up cash transfer programme for vulnerable households.

Nigeria’s Executive Director also made the balancing point clear. The authorities are open to further tax policy adjustments, including possible VAT increases, VAT on fuel products, and telecom excises, but only when the cash transfer system is fully funded and operational, so the burden does not fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.

See: https://t.co/xPjiuUoL9j via @proshare

So, to the good people at @NigeriaStories, the “breaking news” version is not false. Perhaps, due to the editorial summary, it unwittingly overstated the message by omitting the IMF’s caveats on timing, sequencing, and social protection.

Without holding brief for the @IMFNews or the @NigeriaGov, and without prejudice to the wider debate on whether taxes are the right solution, the more accurate framing is this:
The IMF recommends that Nigeria consider further medium-term revenue measures, including extending VAT to fuel products and introducing telecom excises, but says timing should depend on poverty conditions and the readiness of funded cash-transfer protections.

My regards.

Amazon invested $8 billion in Anthropic.

Anthropic’s biggest investor.

Amazon researchers jailbroke Fable 5.

Then Andy Jassy personally called the White House Thursday night.

By Friday at 5:20pm Anthropic got a letter.

Models shut down by Friday evening.

At least five other companies also called senior administration officials Thursday and Friday morning. 

The security expert Anthropic shared the report with said the jailbreak was researchers asking questions defenders would normally ask AI.

Called the government response “way out of line with what’s actually in the research report.” 

Amazon sells competing AI models.

Amazon invested in Anthropic.

Amazon jailbroke Anthropic’s model.

Amazon called the White House.

Anthropic got shut down.

Amazon’s models were not affected.

The administration said other models don’t pose a national security threat.

Amazon sells those models.

This is the cleanest conflict of interest in Silicon Valley history.

And it happened in 48 hours.
