Back in my days at Obafemi Awolowo University, my biggest fear was being used as an example of one of those brilliant students who never made it in life and ended up fueling the popular “school is a scam” narrative.
What was (or is) your greatest fear during college?
@UnkleAyo Saying he is “My GOAT” means that it’s a personal preference; it should be “The GOAT” because it has now become a fact that everyone should conform to.

@Rxbremen I had my first phone in Jss2, and I still had a 328 in JAMB and entered university in my first try. It’s not really about having phone or not. Children just need to know the value of reading.
@WithBukky The reason many Nigerians write their surnames first is simple: surnames are often unique and carry identity, while first names are more common. In contrast, Western naming emphasizes first names since surnames are widely shared, making first names to be the unique identifier.

@keshdelight@heisnissi_ Nah, the length of the one quoted is longer than this. The issue with the quoted one is the length. It’s way too long for that guy unlike this one.
@sentdefender Sometimes you look at the USA as a foreigner and just be envious. Imagine what they could pull off for a single person while in Nigeria, a military General was captured and executed.
Tonight’s operation in Southern Iran which resulted in the successful rescue of a Weapons System Officer (WSO) onboard an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed Friday over Iran, involved hundreds of special forces troops and other military personnel, including members of the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, dozens of fighter and strike aircraft, helicopters, and cyber, space and other intelligence capabilities, officials tell The New York Times.
Senior military officials described the mission to rescue the airman as “one of the most challenging and complex in the history of U.S. Special Operations” given the mountainous terrain, the airman’s injuries and Iranian forces rushing to the location in the mountains of Southern Iran.
The WSO evaded Iranian forces for more than 24 hours, at one point hiking up a 7,000ft ridgeline, a senior U.S. military official said. U.S. attack aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to keep them away from the area where the airman was hiding. As U.S. Special Forces converged on the downed airman, they fired their weapons to keep Iranian forces away from the rescue site, but did not engage in a firefight with the Iranians.
In a final twist after the officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airman, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into the hands of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Most +234 women would tell you, “The society is hard, so the women want men who can take care of their needs.” This sounds reasonable on the surface, but it quietly carries a flawed assumption — that hardship only affects one gender. The truth is, society is hard for everyone.
Beyond wired earphones looking more aesthetic than their counterpart — wireless ones — they’re still better in ways people don’t like to admit. Thread time…. 🧵
