If they explain Nigeria to you and you understand, then you are an OG.

How could this have even happened? You arrest underage boys and lock them in an airtight cell like they are fish in a carton. They banged on the doors begging for air, and grown men ignored them until they suffocated to death.

Does the NSCDC not conduct routine checks? Or did the officers on duty hear the cries and just decide that the lives of poor children do not matter?

Why are these children illegal miners in the first place? Is it not as a result of government failure? The system creates crippling poverty, strips away legitimate means of survival, and forces young boys into dangerous artisanal mining just to eat.

Then the same state turns around and uses its security agencies to hand them a death sentence for trying to survive the poverty the state created.

They failed to protect these children, failed to educate them, and now they have brutally ended their lives. Somehow sha, the system is rigged to crush the poor at every level.

Life rarely changes in a positive way without an increase in responsibility.

That can mean taking ownership of your health or committing to a relationship or starting a business.

Whatever it is, if you want the trajectory to change, the amount of responsibility usually has to change.

If I open your codebase, I can usually tell within a few minutes whether you’re still thinking like a beginner or you’re starting to think like an engineer.

Here are common coding habits that make code harder to scale and the better alternatives.

Stop writing logic in your controllers!.
Stop writing logic in your controllers!!.
Stop writing logic in your controllers!!!

That’s exactly why the service layer exists.

Controllers should mainly handle the HTTP layer: receiving requests, validating inputs, calling the appropriate service, and returning responses.

Business logic belongs in the service layer.

Keep your controllers clean.

@Akintola_steve Isn't that due to acknowledging receipt to the source rather than having to wait to execute internal business logic 🤔

A Nigerian fintech founder raised $2M, built a slick app, onboarded 40,000 users.

Then CBN, NDPC, and FCCPC came knocking at the same time.

He had no licence. no DPO. no KYC tier structure. no breach policy.

The company didn’t survive 2024.

Here’s every rule you must know before you build:

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

A Nigerian software engineer and a German software engineer push the same code to production tonight.

Same stack. Same PR review. Same 2am.

One of them earns €7,000/month with free healthcare, job protection laws, and a pension that kicks in at 30.

The other earns ₦600,000 and just spent ₦47,000 on generator fuel this month alone.

We need to talk about this.

[RAWSHIELD @Rashnaking]

Nigeria is a reflection of the people in it.

Someone shot his shot at Victor Osimhen for a jersey and even tagged a vendor.
Osimhen saw it and said he’d personally send one.

Then told the vendor to add 15 more jerseys for others.

-That’s where it got interesting.-

Immediately money entered, the story changed.

The vendor suddenly said Osimhen told him to share it himself.

He claimed he had already picked 15 people.

—Then it got worse—
He called the same person who brought him the business a scam.

From there, he tried to “negotiate”:
7 for the guy, 8 for himself.
Greed, plain and simple.

The guy refused and asked for all 15 jerseys as instructed.

—Next thing—

The vendor switched again.
Said the post was “stolen” and brought another person to justify it.

—Now here’s the real problem—
Instead of people calling out the wrong,
they started defending it.

“Make una settle.”
“Na just jersey.”
“Let it go.”

- Someone even offered to pay extra, 
rewarding bad behavior.

And that’s when it becomes clear:
We are not different from the people we complain about in power.

—This is how it starts—

small compromise, small dishonesty, small defense of wrong.

Nigeria didn’t just become this way overnight.

We built it, little by little, with everyday actions like this.

Truth is, many people are only “good” because they’ve not had the opportunity to do worse.

One day, we will have an honest conversation about the double standards on this TL.

One day.

[DANJAY DANJUMA @Danjay_P7]

@_ellaru You forgot to add these:

- They don’t announce their needs; they simply adjust and move on.

- They value peace so much, even attention can feel like noise.

- They prefer quiet loyalty over loud celebration.

Am I on point?

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

My advice to startups: if you’re a founder with limited funds, instead of building a full team, or a company with staff on monthly salaries you may not be able to sustain long-term—consider a lean approach.

Work with a small, focused team: one UI/UX designer, one product manager, one frontend developer, one backend developer, one QA engineer, and a DevOps engineer. Put everyone on a contract based on monthly deliverables. Payment should be tied to completed milestones, with a clear goal to finish the core product within 6 months.

You can also bring in a marketer early to drive awareness and initial traction. It might sound strict, but when you’re operating lean (maybe even on a loan), structure and accountability matter. From experience, developers often perform best when there’s clear, outcome-based compensation tied to delivery.

Secure at least 5 active customers, then continue building from there.

Well, that’s my approach, the floor is very much open to better, more optimal alternatives.

If your eyes start hurting, burning, or getting blurry…

You might be experiencing Computer Vision Syndrome.

And millions of people today are dealing with it without even realizing it.

Here’s why.

Most of us now spend hours every day staring at screens:

• TVs
• smartphones
• laptops
• tablets like the Apple iPad

Whether you’re scrolling through TikTok, checking updates on Instagram, or watching videos on YouTube.

But something subtle happens when we stare at screens for too long.

We blink less.

Normally, humans blink about 15–20 times per minute.

But when focused on a screen, that number can drop to as low as 5–7 blinks per minute.

Less blinking means your eyes dry out faster.

And that can lead to symptoms like:

• blurry vision
• burning or dry eyes
• headaches
• eye fatigue
• difficulty focusing

This is what experts call Computer Vision Syndrome.

The good news is that there’s a simple habit that helps.

It’s called the 20–20–20 rule, Doctors recommend.

Every 20 minutes,
look at something 20 feet away,
for 20 seconds.

It allows your eye muscles to relax.

Sometimes, the fix is simple.

Turn off the TV.
Drop the phone.
Give your eyes a break.

Your eyes were not designed to stare at glowing screens all day.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

Wa alaikum salam. I have spoken on this some weeks ago. You can find more elaborate details on my page. But for your immediate consumption, let me quickly say this.

The specific hadith mentioning the number 72 is tied to the reward of the martyr. Scholars debate its grading; some authenticate it, while others point out weaknesses in the chain. But the concept of Hoor al-Ayn (companions in Paradise) is present in the Quran.

Your concern about Haya is very valid, and here is where the disconnect happens. Islam does not center the reward of Jannah around sexual gratification. That is a hijacked narrative. Orientalists and critics zoomed in on that one detail and magnified it to mock the Deen, making it look like a cheap transaction.

Jannah caters to every single human desire. Food, rivers, mansions, peace, and physical companionship too, all in a purified state. But the peak? The highest reward in Jannah is not the Hoor al-Ayn or the palaces. It is looking at the Face of Allah and gaining His eternal pleasure (Ridwan). The texts tell us that when the believers experience that, they will forget every other physical luxury Jannah has to offer.

God understands human nature, so He put things in Paradise that appeal to our raw human cravings. But the core of the reward remains deeply spiritual. Don't let people who want to water down the Deen interpret its authenticity for you.

Allah knows best.

Every morning, a Nigerian man in Lagos puts on a suit made in Guangzhou and leaves his house with his ASUS laptop (made in Taipei) and his Redmi smartphone (designed in Beijing).

He lives near a Lagos Blue Line station at Mile 2, so he walks to the station and boards a modern EMU train to Ikeja. The station, the rail line and the EMU were all built by China Civil Engineering Construction Company.

At Ikeja, he gets into a BRT bus made by Yutong or Zhontong (made in Zhenzhou and Liaocheng respectively) and spends his 20-minute commute on TikTok (HQ: Beijing) via his Redmi phone using his Oraimo airpods (made in Shenzhen).

He arrives at Mobolaji Johnson Railway Station (built by CCECC) and boards his modern, air-conditioned DMU train (assembled in Kajola, Ogun State under the management of CCECC) to begin his journey to Ibadan on the Lagos-Ibadan SGR (built by CCECC).

On the way to Ibadan, using his MTN 4G network built almost entirely on a Huawei (Shenzhen) and ZTE (Shenzhen) infrastructure backbone, he opens Twitter and proceeds to passionately insult me for disagreeing with the notion that China poses an external threat to his Nigerian life, and that western partnership is what would give him a better life.
