“Nnu Ego lay down by the roadside, thinking that she had arrived home. She died quietly there, with no child to hold her hand and no friend to talk to her. She had never really made many friends, so busy had she been building up her joys as a mother.”

I cried.😭

I’m glad social media companies are incentivising us to leave their apps.
It’s as if they know I have tonnes of reading and writing to do.

You guys are not seeing the bigger picture
This is going to cause a massive decline in education.
Y’all are not seeing the handwriting on the wall.
The educational system is already in shambles and now this??????

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.

The official story blames fungal blight.

But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.

An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.

That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.

Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?

Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.

The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.

Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

OpenTelemetry just graduated.
12,000+ contributors. 2,800+ companies.
1.36B JS API downloads in the last 12 months.

Second-highest project velocity in the cloud native ecosystem, behind only Kubernetes.

Instrument once. Switch observability backends without touching your code.
Now the same maturity level as Kubernetes and Prometheus.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

So, guys, like I said, this isn't for the lazy🫢and it's not for one looking for instant money, without putting in the work. It's for people who honestly enjoy reading, any kind of reading...Here’s a thread of 10 legit platforms to start your earning journey;

Great to see senior engineers choosing SigNoz over Honeycomb, New Relic, and Grafana cloud for their ai-native stack 🚀

Edwin, a senior staff engineer, recently shared his setup on Linkedin. Everything is instrumented with opentelemetry, flowing into SigNoz, which is read by Claude to solve problems and optimise.

This is a common pattern we see: engineers want their agents reading telemetry & take actions based on that. that only works when your data sits in an open format agents can parse and tools can expose

OpenTelemetry won the instrument layer. mcp is winning the access layer. proprietary schemas behind proprietary agents are a dead end

we bet on otel back when it was still rough. built SigNoz natively on it because the standard was always going to matter more than any vendor's clever ingestion pipeline

engineering leaders are starting to pick observability the way they pick databases: open standard, no lock-in, runs where their data needs to live

Never underestimate how much time and effort you can waste by trying to automate a process you do not understand manually.

People are leaving the country they have known all their lives, even in old age, because things simply do not work.

Imagine having to start over when you should be slowing down and enjoying the life you built. IT IS SO UNFAIR.

That is how deep the problem is.
