Why would anyone be crying over a governor asking for independent investigation into an event that gruesomely claimed the life of a resident of his state and had children as young as 3 years old held for more than month?
Have we lost our fucking minds?
I have worked at UAC Nigeria, Nigerian Bottling Company (bottlers of Coca-Cola), and Chevron Nigeria Limited. I didn't know anyone who could influence me to get those jobs. I saw the adverts, applied, wrote the tests, attended the interviews, and got selected.
I also got selected by Access Bank, Gateway Bank (though I was never going to work in a bank 😄), and Friesland Foods (this one pain me because it coincided with Chevron and I really wanted to work there)
I've also run my business for 16 years, and other than the first three years, I haven't had family or friends working for me. In fact, the only way my friends or family will get to work at So Fresh now is if I'm completely uninvolved in the hiring process. Once you come and tell me you're applying, you are not getting the job.
Anyway, don't let anyone convince you that you can't get a job without knowing someone. Get good grades, prepare well for interviews, keep upskilling yourself, and keep applying. Most importantly, keep applying and showing up to interviews like your life depends on it.

It’s the usual Nigerian “sharpness” syndrome where everyone is desperate to be a “sharp guy”. In a society where cutting corners is celebrated as wisdom, integrity will always be treated like naïveté.
So far today, we’ve received 25k to support Lauretta’s treatment. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. We’re truly grateful.
Lauretta is due for another chemotherapy session this week, so please keep sharing her story and donating.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps us keep her treatment going.
He's battling kidney failure. He need transplant and Okwuluora is calling for help. From the voice you can get the account or go to his Facebook page and donate, if you wish.
Thank you all. One love ❤️
Watching my amputated leg slowly decay because cancer is eating it up is one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever experienced. The pain I have endured over the past few weeks has been unbearable. Please, I need all the help I can get. 8146203234 moniepoint
The business I founded employs 90 people. No amount of direct work I would have done across my entire working life as a doctor can ever approach the incredible value founding a company has provided for our customers, the state, the employees and myself. Entrepreneurs are golden!
Akara is not bean cake. This is cultural low self esteem. There is no need to anglicize akara even though it's technically ground beef fritters. But call it akara let everyone accept it as that.
Same with udara.
Or oha.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
John 14:2
I had an epiphany about this recently while in church, looking at some mansions in the Aburi Mountains.
Heaven and Hell are on Earth, as it is part of the universe. All mansions on Earth also belong to the Father who provides for us all. This is his house, and the many mansions in the Father’s house include especially those on Earth.
Nothing is impossible, and you or even I can own and live in any of these mansions. Your current abode is a mansion to people experiencing homelessness.
Until you get it, you will not realize that all blessings are gifts of grace and from the abundance of the universe. To people experiencing homelessness, your home is worth more than $1.5m
The general idea is to always hold yourself to a global standard, even if your current pay does not reflect that level of work. It should be your personal baseline for excellence.
Shortly after, one of two things will become clear: either the company is limiting your ability to grow, and you need to move on, or the environment is simply not strong enough to help you develop to a global standard
In December last year, a team of physicists in South Dakota ended a search that had been running for 417 days. They had buried a 10-ton tank of liquid xenon nearly a mile underground. The plan was simple. Wait for a single dark matter particle to drift in and bump into a xenon atom. None ever did.
It was just the latest miss in a hunt running for ninety years. Dark matter is the name scientists give to the invisible stuff that holds galaxies together. You, the chair you are sitting on, every star in every galaxy, all of it adds up to about 15% of the matter in the universe. The other 85% is something we have never seen or caught. We only know it is out there because galaxies would fly apart without its pull.
When Kaku says dark matter might be gravity leaking from a parallel dimension, he is offering a guess at a problem nobody has solved. He has been offering the same guess since his 1994 book Hyperspace. The math behind it came from two physicists, Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum, who worked it out in 1999. Imagine a flat sheet of paper sitting on a table. The paper is our universe. Most of the forces of nature stay stuck to the paper. Gravity might be the one that can drift off and travel through the room. If another galaxy is sitting on a separate sheet next to ours, we would feel its gravity without ever seeing it.
Most physicists today think dark matter is more boring than that. It is probably a particle, heavy and ghostly, the kind that almost never touches ordinary stuff. The best evidence comes from something called the Bullet Cluster. In 2006, astronomers photographed two enormous groups of galaxies that had recently smashed into each other. The visible hot gas got stuck in the crash zone. The mass kept going. You can map where mass sits by watching how it bends the light of galaxies behind it. The map showed most of the mass sailing right through the wreckage and settling into two clumps on either side. That is how invisible particles would behave. It is very hard to explain if dark matter is just gravity acting weird.
The second blow came in 2018. The Hubble Space Telescope found a galaxy called NGC 1052-DF2 with 400 times less dark matter than a galaxy its size should have. If dark matter were just gravity acting strangely, every galaxy would show the same effect. This one does not. Hubble looked again in 2021 to be sure, and the galaxy was still missing its dark matter.
So we are stuck. The evidence keeps pointing toward dark matter being a particle. Every detector built to catch one has come up empty. Kaku says it might not be a particle at all, and nobody has a way to prove him right or wrong. Ninety years in, the most accurate answer is also the most boring one. We do not know.
Another day to ask for your support for my sister to beat cancer 🙏🏾🙏🏾
