Ayo Akinola, co-founder of PiggyVest, on why he was expelled in Covenant University.

He says it was just wrong timing and he got into trouble for possession of contraband.

He got suspended twice and expelled once.

But he got called back and had an extra year.

LOL!! Any passive asset that isn't producing and is acquired purely for speculation is a stupid investment. The market can always turn on you.

There is no career path that can't change.

Joining tech today has nothing to do with what you do today but where you see yourself tomorrow.

[Kolade Oluwadare | Software Engineer @KoladeBuilds]

That CTO is either a local champion or someone who got into that position through connections without going through the normal professional ladder.

Of course, we cannot fully judge this situation. There may be a lot of things that have transpired behind the scenes before this incident.

However, if things happened as described, it’s really poor leadership and a lack of accountability to terminate someone’s employment simply because they challenged a technical decision.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many options or adequate systems to protect professionals in situations like this in Nigeria.

Why I Was Fired From My Software Engineering Job

I was recently terminated from my position as a Software Engineer, and honestly, the reason still surprises me.

We were working on a major software project when the CTO proposed a particular technical approach. After reviewing the architecture, I believed there was a better way to implement it.

I explained my concerns, highlighted some potential problems with the proposed approach, and suggested an alternative that I felt would make the system more scalable, maintainable, and easier to extend in the future.

I wasn't trying to challenge his authority. I was doing what I believed a good engineer should do: question technical decisions when there might be a better solution.

But he didn't take it that way.

He accused me of trying to correct him in front of the team and said there was a difference between contributing ideas and constantly challenging leadership decisions.

I tried explaining that technical discussions shouldn't be about who is right or who holds the highest position. They should be about choosing the solution that works best for the product.

Unfortunately, things became uncomfortable after that disagreement.

A few days later, I received an email from HR informing me that my appointment had been terminated, effective 10 November 2026.

No major performance warning. No formal disciplinary process that I was aware of. Just a termination notice.

The experience taught me something I never expected to learn in software engineering:

Sometimes, the biggest challenge in a tech company isn't solving difficult engineering problems. It's working in an environment where disagreeing with a technical decision is interpreted as disrespecting the person who made it.

I still believe engineers should be allowed to disagree professionally, defend their reasoning, and propose better solutions.

Or do you think I was wrong to challenge the CTO?

[Timothy O Ayodele ⚡ @ayodeletim]

@EmmaAnu239762 A lot of small minded people find it difficult to take professional disagreements. They take everything personal.

That said, there's also the part of how we communicate disagreements. The tone and manner also is important and influences how it lands regardless of the recipient.

When is this starting in Lagos, I love that most things starts from Ibadan—Oyo State.

Pacesetters for a reason.

The Retired Commodore and Intelligence Officer is clearly a conspiracy theorist who has been brainwashed by David Hundeyin, so please ignore him and listen to your NED-funded intellectuals instead.

Whenever you wake up.

Remember Supa Strikas?

Tomi Davies backed the company behind the football comic in the early 2000s. He says at the peak period, they were producing half a million copies of Supa Strikas.

The real proof of maturity is taking action early.
Waiting for opportunities to come to begin to take action is a recipe for never getting anything done.
Foresight remains one of the best attributes of doers.

[Timothy O Ayodele ⚡ @ayodeletim]

Don't let what should be an advantage become a burden.
The best way to get the best out of AI for productivity is to obsess less about how things are changing to daily figuring out your advantage.
Move and do more.

[Timothy O Ayodele ⚡ @ayodeletim]

You'd realize that some smart people you know theorize more than they actually do, and the ugly truth is because many people that are that smart sometimes obsess more about knowledge and possibilities at the expense of actions.

Richard Dawkins MOCKS Born-Again Christian About Her Faith, But Her Response Left The Crowd Cheering

"I understand that a personal story can be moving, but calling yourself a Christian means accepting certain beliefs."

When you sit in church listening to a vicar, don't you ever think that some of what he's saying is illogical?

Do you really believe Jesus was the Son of God, that he rose from the dead, and that he was born of a virgin? Those aren't minor details. They're fundamental to Christianity.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: You and I have been friends for a long time, and you've been a mentor to me. But you've approached this from the position that there is nothing there.

My own experiences led me to accept that there is a higher power the God who transformed my life.

When I listen to the vicar now, his words don't sound nonsensical to me. They make profound sense. There's ancient wisdom in them.

I used to mock faith and Christianity too. But after what I've experienced, I don't anymore.

I've reached a place of humility and realised that people with enduring faith possess something valuable.

Someone once told me: when all hope seems lost, pray. There's tremendous wisdom in that. I don't see these teachings as foolish anymore. I see them as remarkably wise.

Richard Dawkins: But Christianity has its own serious problems.

Take the doctrine of original sin the idea that we're all born carrying the sin of Adam, and that Jesus had to be punished and crucified to save humanity from its sins.

I find that theology not only nonsensical, but morally objectionable.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: I see Christianity differently. At its core, it's about love.

As a new Christian, especially compared with my upbringing in Islam, what stands out to me is the message of redemption, renewal and rebirth.

The death and resurrection of Jesus represent that transformation the possibility of becoming new.
