I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
Respect these ladies! This is the most successful team in African women's football. Ten WAFCON titles. This is what dominance looks like. Every time Africa has a tournament, Nigeria turns up asking, 'Where is our trophy?' Don't mess with the Super Falcons."

Barracks women children and soldiers turned out in large numbers to celebrate their outgoing Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel CK Okupe. He was the immediate past Commanding Officer of the 212 Tank Battalion at Maimalari Military Cantonment in Maiduguri.
His remarkable leadership dedication and service had earned him the admiration and affection of the entire barracks community. Indeed when you’re good to people in life, they will always celebrate and honour you
Second half of the Jumia story is a 100/10. Muyiwa knows so much about Jumia he knew they were in 8 countries without thinking too much 😂
Clean work on Jumia, the kind we've been looking for all these years. @fintechiseasy@readnotadeepdve 🫡

This is, unsurprisingly, a complete inversion of reality.
Netanyahu says the ICC under Khan went after him to distract from the sexual misconduct allegations against Khan.
But the truth is that the allegations suddenly started surfacing a couple of weeks AFTER Khan informed the US of his decision to seek warrants, and after he was told - in the public record - by US senators (including Marco Rubio): "Target Israel and we will target you."
This is the actual timeline (source: https://t.co/9Y0jsxLVFy):
- 25 March 2024: Khan informs the US administration of his decision and that warrants would be sought by the end of April.
- 19 April 2024: A senior US official warns Khan by phone of "disastrous consequences" if he proceeds; Khan says he rejected this, citing Israel's lack of cooperation.
24 April 2024: 12 Republican US senators (including Marco Rubio) send Khan a letter warning "Target Israel and we will target you."
26 April 2024: Netanyahu publicly criticises the ICC on social media, saying: “Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defence.”
2 May 2024: The sexual misconduct/harassment allegations are first put to Khan in person by members of his team, on the same day, per his later ICC submission, that he had been planning to announce the Netanyahu/Gallant warrants.
Draw your own conclusion 🤷♂️

Feel free to go meet them in the forest of zamfara and surrounding areas. They're catching heavy fire and artillery shells from the military as we speak! Second major bombardment in the last 48hrs!
I think selling Transmission is a bad idea. Transmission infrastructure is a national security matter but more importantly, the cost of building and maintaining that infrastructure and the timeline for seeing reasonable returns on investment makes it not well suited for typical investor funds. That type of investment is done by governments who can take a much longer term and broader economic benefit view of the investment and can potentially source relatively cheaper funds for it than most private businesses. It would mean having a government that’s more interested in building long term infrastructure than they are with lining their pockets which is where Nigeria has been consistently unfortunate.
These ladies wear the Nigerian badge with immense pride. Every invitation to represent the country is an honour they genuinely cherish and they never hesitate to answer the call. You can even see the heartbreak on the faces of those who miss out because of injuries or other circumstances. That is how much representing Nigeria means to them.
The least they deserve in return is to be treated with the same respect and commitment they show the nation.
I hope the people at National Sport Commission and NFF will not do them dirty when it’s time to pay their allowances and bonuses.
China is regulating chatbot attachment and AI companions before emotional reliance becomes a normal business model.
A recent review cites daily emotional chats reducing preference for human support by 10.3%.
These services became popular by offering constant attention without rejection, awkwardness, or the demands of human relationships.
The frictionless design of these apps can keep a lonely person inside the app, instead of helping them rebuild contact with other people.
China's rules try to interrupt that loop by limiting services that encourage addiction, excessive dependence, self-harm, or unsuitable relationships with minors.
Chinal's new rules requires that providers must curb manipulative attachment, identify excessive reliance, and remind users they are talking to AI.
Minors cannot receive virtual partners or relatives, while crisis signals require intervention and emergency contact.

@Iam_Misola If they can reach out to @Sterling_Bankng , they have targeted financing products for schools that can help good schools like this stay in business. Its more than a loan, they also will support in modernisation and other things to improve efficiency and reduce ops costs.
All this noise about @Lupita_Nyongo been a black Helen of Troy is all horseshit.
Helen of Troy had Melanin.
She looked like us.
Why do you think the world went to war for her?
Who will go to war for a skin that looked like skinned chicken?
I wouldn't. It isn't attractive enough.
@Tolu__Grey At least Nigeria isn't pretending to be better or in competition with China.
The delulu the Indians have is mind blowing lol.
But they'll be alright.
Gbam.
Any traditional ruler who condones such illegal activities in his domain should.just be removed like its being done in Niger State.
Immediate suspension. Simple.
FACT CHECK ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
"There is no way a Mexican drug cartel can produce n@rcotics worth ₦400 billion in Ogun State without the knowledge of citizens in the area and traditional leaders.
There is no way b@nd!ts from Zamfara can mine lithium and gold worth billions of naira in Oyo and Osun without the knowledge of traditional leaders in the area.
The uncomfortable truth is this: we have useless leaders in every part of this country.
THEY KNOW. THEY LOOK AWAY. THEY BENEFIT.
And until we hold them accountable, the cr!m!nals will keep operating right under their noses."
"It is time to stop comparing Niger Delta militants with b@nd!ts and Boko Haram t£rr0r!sts. They are not the same. They have never been the same.
Niger Delta militants had a clear grievance the exploitation of their land and the marginalisation of their people. They fought oil companies and the government, not civilians. They had a defined agenda and respected dialogue.
B@nd!ts and BOKOHARAM/ISWAP have no such boundaries.
They k!11 Muslims and Christians alike. They k!dn@p children. They burn villages. They have no clear agenda beyond violence and control.
To compare them is to insult the Niger Delta militants and to legitimise the terrorists.
The government should not negotiate with t£rr0r!sts. It should not dialogue with k!11£rs. It should hunt them."
