IOC jobs are so life-transforming that my friend got into one in 2008 and he finished within 6 months, a house (in his village) that his parents had been trying to complete in 5+ years.

Settled down (married) and went to hajj with wife by following year.

Someone that struggled to raise N15k school feed just 3 years earlier.

One of the reasons I'm forever an advocate of these IOCs.

Do you know that during the time of Jesus, Judaism was not united under one set of beliefs. There were several Jewish sects, the most prominent being the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. While all of them worshiped the God of Israel and accepted the Scriptures, they differed greatly in their beliefs and practices.

1. The Pharisees
The Pharisees were the most influential religious group among ordinary Jews. They were teachers of the Law and were highly respected by the people.

What They Believed
-They believed in the entire Hebrew Scriptures.
-They believed in the resurrection of the dead.
-They believed in angels, spirits, and the supernatural.
They believed that God gave both the written Law and oral traditions to Moses.
-They taught that people would be judged by God according to their obedience and faithfulness.

Jesus and the Pharisees
Jesus agreed with the Pharisees on some doctrines, such as the resurrection, but He frequently rebuked them for hypocrisy, legalism, and elevating human traditions above God’s commandments (Matthew 23).
Not all Pharisees opposed Jesus. For example, Nicodemus and Paul the Apostle were Pharisees.

2. The Sadducees
The Sadducees were mainly wealthy priests and aristocrats. They controlled much of the Temple worship in Jerusalem and worked closely with the political authorities.

What They Believed
-They accepted only the Torah (the first five books of Moses) as their primary authority.
-They rejected many traditions accepted by the Pharisees.
-They did not believe in the resurrection of the dead.
-They did not believe in angels or spirits.
-They focused heavily on Temple sacrifices and rituals.

Jesus and the Sadducees
The Sadducees often challenged Jesus. In Matthew 22:23-33, they tried to disprove the resurrection, but Jesus corrected them and taught that the resurrection is real.

After the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, the Sadducees disappeared because their influence depended on the Temple system.

3. The Essenes
The Essenes were a smaller group that withdrew from mainstream society because they believed the religious leadership in Jerusalem had become corrupt.

What They Believed
-They were devoted to strict holiness and purity.
-They practiced frequent ritual washings.
Many lived in isolated communities.
-They shared possessions and lived simple lifestyles.
-They believed God would soon judge the world.
-They expected the coming of the Messiah.
-They emphasized prayer, fasting, and studying Scripture.

Many scholars believe the community associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls was Essene.

Jesus and the Essenes
The New Testament never directly mentions the Essenes. Some scholars see similarities between their emphasis on repentance and the ministry of John the Baptist, but there is no proof that John was an Essene.

The battery health you see in some fairly used iPhones is not always real.

So, yes, there’s actually a laptop app that can help you check whether an iPhone is genuine and whether some parts have been tampered with.

Let me tell you this:
Some vendors artificially boost the battery health of iPhones to deceive buyers.

A phone that’s originally at 79% battery health can be boosted up to 100%, or even 94% to make it believable.

As the buyer, you think you’re getting a clean phone with strong battery life. But a few days later, the battery health starts dropping drastically.

That’s where an app called 3uTools comes in for those who have laptops.

– Go to www. 3u .com on your laptop
– Download and install the app
– Launch it and connect your iPhone using a cable

The app will display key details about your phone, including the real battery health.

So, if the battery health in your iPhone's settings and the one on the 3uTools app are clearly different, you already know there's a problem.

You can also tap “Verification Report” to check whether parts like the battery, screen, or camera have been replaced.

.....
You'll definitely not be able to do all these at the vendor's shop. You'll do it at home. Your vendor should normally give you a warranty of some days or weeks.

Stay sharp, guys! 🪒

I also plan to share tips on how to know if an iPhone is truly brand new. I'll do that later.

Please retweet and kindly comment with any past experiences you may have had or heard.

@SirJarus A huge thanks should also go to the AIK scout that spotted him.

Saw him in Kaduna and called AIK management to sign Zadok on the spot.

Said if Zadok does not turn profitable, they should sack him.

He really believed in the Zadok boy and it paid off.

There was a serious leadership crisis in Ecobank Group from 2013 - 2014. The then CEO had a public fight with the CFO.

Former CEO Arnold Ekpe had stepped down earlier. Thierry Tanoh (an Ivorian executive previously at the International Finance Corporation) became Group CEO in January 2013. Tensions arose over corporate governance, financial reporting, asset disposals, and executive compensation.

Then, the Group Executive Director of Finance & Risk, Laurence do Rego, was asked to resign by Tanoh, who accused her of falsifying qualifications.

Do Rego fought back with serious counter-allegations against Chairman Kolapo Lawson and CEO Tanoh.

She claimed they tried to:

• Sell non-core assets below market value.
• Manipulate 2012 results to inflate 2013 growth.
• Approve an improper bonus increase for Tanoh (which he later declined).
• Write off debts owed by a real estate company chaired by Lawson.

The dispute spilled into the open with letters from executives, involvement from CBN and SEC, and media coverage (including the Financial Times).

Four top executives called for Tanoh’s resignation to resolve the “leadership crisis.” Major shareholders (e.g., Public Investment Corporation of South Africa) applied pressure.

Finally, the board removed Thierry Tanoh as CEO effective 12 March 2014 amid months of turmoil. Do Rego, the Group CFO, was reinstated.

Can I tell you one thing I've discovered in my walk with the Holy Spirit?

Beyond being a guide, the Holy Spirit is the greatest conversation partner you'll ever have.

In short, there is no gist partner like the Holy Spirit.

The day you grow to the point where He comes to you for a chat, demands your attention, or interrupts your day because He wants fellowship with you, YOU HAVE WON FOR LIFE.

Because beyond power, beyond gifts, beyond breakthroughs, nothing compares to being wanted by God Himself.

The Kainji Lake National Park deserves special attention by the military. We cannot allow JAS make the Kainji National park in the Borgu local government of Niger state their new operational base. This is an area linking northwest to southwest Nigeria.

The JAS, JNIM, and Lakurawa groups are notorious for planting roadside bombs and carrying out mass killings and kidnappings across the region. JAS militants abducted at least 45 students and school personnel during coordinated attacks on three schools in Oyo State, southwestern Nigeria, on May 15.

In February 3, 200 people were killed while 40 people were abducted in the town of Woro, located just south of Kainji Park.

The attack on Woro occurred less than four kilometers from Nuku, the site of JNIM’s first recorded assault inside Nigeria in October 2025.

Recently many JAS fighters have retreated into Kainji National Park as they seek refuge from sustained Nigerian military operations in the north. There are reports JAS may have established an improvised explosive device manufacturing facility inside Kainji park.

This is bad news, especially for the southwest, because if these trends persist without effective intervention, the axis could become a stable base for armed groups, serving as a direct gateway to southwestern Nigeria.

The Nigerian military may want to consider expanding the scope of Operation Savannah Shield and adopt a more proactive, offensive posture to disrupt the threats before they can fully materialize.

Tiping your office security N1k for buying your lunch, is not you doing him a favour. He earned it. If e easy, stand up from your seat and go get the food yourself. Calculate the financial cost of the stress of going the distance to get the food and back.

If you want to do him a favour, give him money for no reason. Someone would do you a favour, but you would see yourslf as the one doing them a favour because you earn higher than them and don't respect them.

If you send money to your colleague that does the same work with you and asked them to please get you lunch on their way back from wherever they were going, you see it as them doing you a favour because you respect them. You don't see it as a favour done to you when it is done by the office security or cleaner because you don't respect them. If you treat these people well and respect them, they will be happy to do things for you. You've become entitled to their help that you now expect them to use their money to fund your lunch.

My security does errands for me, and every errand comes with a tip. That is thank you for doing this because it is not his job. Favour is when I give him money for no reason which happens often or when he has special needs and makes a request and I give him money. You need to start respecting people as human beings, not by how much they earn. This thing is a common problem in our society.

There are an estimated 30 million people living with disabilities in Nigeria, & the state provides absolutely zero financial support, specialized healthcare, or meaningful social safety nets for them.

We have major public hospitals, banks, & government buildings that don’t even have functional ramps or elevators. Condemning any Nigerian for being pro-choice or simply recognizing they cannot shoulder the crushing, unsupported weight of severe disability in a country whose entire infrastructure actively ignores PLWDs is just faux-moral outrage.

We literally just had a national scandal where a wheelchair user was kicked out of a KFC at the Lagos airport b/c his presence supposedly wasn't "allowed," and local airlines routinely deny boarding to disabled passengers. Pretending a family should just "make it work" in a society where a disabled adult can't even buy fast food or get on a domestic flight without being publicly humiliated is peak delusion.

[Lekan Olayinka @lekan_olayinka1]

I’ve been in Jos for like 5 days now and I have a lot to say.

Firstly, I never knew a people could be this nice and kind and respectful.

I almost felt sick because I never knew people could still be like that.

Lagos has fried my brain. People call you Sir while offering every service to you.

From the suya guy to the super market attendant to the local restaurant to every single person.

I’ve never seen this before in my life. In Lagos, the way I know the food in a restaurant would be good is if the woman is rude.

I never trust the food of a polite food seller in Lagos.

But I’m here where everyone treats you with respect.

Then things are cheaper. The uber that will normally cost 10 million naira here in Lagos is 2,500 here.

I’ve never seen life lived like this before. I see clear road everywhere.

I’m not scared of holding my phone carelessly.

Hotel is cheap with free WiFi. Omo. Jos na place.

[$JRD! @jalaal_tweets]

I learnt about this in my Business analytics degree and I’m going to break it down for you.

Temu isn’t shipping your order from a factory in Shenzhen the moment you tap “buy.” They moved away from that model a while back. What they run now is a demand forecasting operation: they collect order data by region, figure out which products people in, say, Yaba or Lekki keep buying, then ship bulk quantities of those products to fulfilment warehouses already inside the UK or US. Your order never left the country. It was already sitting in a warehouse 40 miles from you before you even opened the app.

This is standard supply chain logic. Amazon has been doing it for years. What makes Temu interesting is how aggressively they’re applying it at scale. They’re working backwards from purchase history, search behaviour, and even abandoned carts to predict what needs to be stocked where, weeks before the demand actually lands. By the time you order a #5000 phone stand at 11pm on a Saturday, there’s a reasonable chance 200 of those phone stands are already in a depot near you because the data said they would move in your postcode cluster this weekend.

It’s called inventory pre-positioning, and the predictive layer underneath it is machine learning working on millions of rows of transaction data daily.

The “made in China” framing still applies to where the product was manufactured. That part’s accurate. But manufacturing and fulfilment are two completely separate steps, and people keep conflating them.

What Temu figured out is that fast delivery is a conversion driver, so they invested in the forecasting infrastructure to make it possible without eating the cost of next-day air freight on every order. The warehouse does the work. The algorithm fills the warehouse.

I’m @jalaal_tweets, you’ll learn more about Data and Ai fluency if you follow me.

@AttorneyF_ Lovely and well reasoned answer.

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Christianity is the only major world religion structurally built on reasoning. Isaiah 1:18 isn’t an ornament, it says “Come, let us reason together” this is the actual operating system.

God for instance does not drop the resurrection out of nowhere and demand blind surrender. He spends centuries building a case.

He starts with Sarah’s dead womb, pulling life from what biology wrote off. He establishes a pattern so that when He later asks Abraham to sacrifice that same son, Abraham isn’t taking a leap in the dark. Hebrews 11:19 says Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead. He applied logic to a pattern he had already witnessed. A pattern that also simultaneously prepared Israel for a virgin birth. If God can resuscitate a barren and biologically dead womb, he can make a virgin conceive.

Look at the Book of Hebrews. No other religious text matches its structural intent. It wasn’t written to merely assert authority; it was written to argue. It addresses deep doubt, deconstructs a competing framework from within its own texts, and walks wavering believers through a sophisticated intellectual crisis. Other religions rely on later theologians to patch up their texts. Hebrews does it internally. That is a different category of scripture.

Now turn the lens.

Look at Islam’s foundational structure: one man, one cave, one angel, 23 years, and zero witnesses. If Christianity rested on a single person claiming they saw the resurrected Christ, it would rightly be dismissed for a lack of evidence. Yet Islam’s entire revelation hangs on a private, solitary encounter no other human could corroborate. The Quran arrived through a chain of one.

Even its view of angels lacks checks and balances. Daniel 10 shows an angelic messenger being resisted by spiritual forces for 21 days, needing Michael’s help to break through. In the biblical framework, angels operate within a contested cosmic order; they aren’t automated, infallible pipelines. Islam makes Gabriel the sole transmitter of truth for two decades based on a single, unverified human experience.

The five daily prayers, the very core of Islamic practice, never appear in the Quran. You must rely on later Hadith collections to even find them. A system that claims to correct the Bible, yet depends on outside oral traditions to fill its own structural gaps, hasn’t answered anything.

Islam doesn’t resolve doubt with argument. It resolves it with institutional pressure; a closed system that criminalizes exit and suppresses questioning, presenting forced conformity as divine conviction. That is not clearing doubt; that is just outlawing it.

Christianity looks at the skeptic and says: Come, look at the empty tomb, examine the evidence, reason with Me. Islam’s response to the crucifixion is simply: “it was made to appear so”.

Think about what that requires. It means God staged a cosmic illusion on a hill in Jerusalem, actively deceiving the followers of Jesus, only to later punish humanity for believing the very trick He played. One faith is secure enough to invite its own interrogation. The other has to resort to a divine magic trick just to keep its narrative from collapsing under the weight of historical fact. 😂

33 currencies in Africa and yet none of these currencies are used to conclude transactions around the world.

You go to Nigeria Airports or any airport in Africa, you show them your local currency and they say “what is this” but when you show them your dollars, euros, pounds they say “yes,this is it”.

Are we actually free from slavery?
