Be like una dy use juju for Banking Sector.
So a friend of mine has a colleague that was leaving one bank to a different bank and she has a client who has over N2bn with the bank she was leaving. That money is the money still holding her branch together.
She intends to move to the new bank with all her clients which was what she used to negotiate a higher level and salary with the new bank.
She was supposed to unload from the bank today and then start work at the new bank on Monday.
That poor girl suddenly died mysteriously in her sleep yesterday night with blood coming out from her nose and mouth when people saw her this morning.
No prior health issue. Just straight up died in her sleep. Now the old bank is even insisting they won't pay death benefits coz she already left and the new bank won't pay because she hasn't started with them and so they do not have her high end clients.
A young lady that is barely 35 years old just gone like that for money that is not even her own?.
Our HR manager, a very strict married woman who always preaches "decency and financial discipline," accidentally sent a screenshot to the general group chat instead of her husband (As we all thought it to be)
It was a bank transaction receipt of ₦400,000. Attached to the receipt was a text : "Baby, thanks for the weekend allowance, the hair vendor has received the money."
The group went dead silent. Nobody typed or used an emoji. Five minutes later, she deleted it. But some people had already screenshotted it.
By lunchtime, gossip was flying about, people were whispering. We all know her husband to be a school teacher whose monthly salary is barely double that amount.
Later that afternoon, she called a general meeting. We thought she wanted to address the mistake. Instead, she stood up, looked everyone in the eye, and said: "If I see that screenshot on any social media platform, the entire department is losing their performance bonus this month." (Which one to his tent)
It made me realize that the pressure to maintain a certain lifestyle in this current economy is making people live double lives. The people preaching discipline online are often funding a completely different reality behind closed doors. Sad
Blame @iamHSDickson if this project fails.
A smart leader of a political party should not compete for attention with the presidential candidate of his party during elections 🙄
Omoh, I just read the news where former Air Canada pilot was caught with forged documents.
Guess what, he flew over 900 flights for 17 years & earn over $2.5m.
He was caught after investigation when he retired at 59 years.
The craziest part isn't that he used forged documents. The craziest part is that he allegedly flew for 17 years without anyone noticing. That's a bigger indictment of the system than of the man.
There used to be a restaurant at Opebi, opposite Salvation. It was called Fork and Fingers. I think it was owned by Matthew Ashimolowo.
It was a good dining spot where men chilled with friends and watched football. Sadly, it no longer exists.
When Nokia engineers examined the original iPhone in the summer of 2007, they found a 2-megapixel camera with no flash, no autofocus, and no video. Their flagship phone, released three months earlier, had a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens (the optics brand used in Leica cameras), autofocus, an LED flash, and video recording. Nokia beat Apple on every camera specification. Nokia also no longer makes phones.
Apple's advantage came from three engineering decisions, none of which appeared on a spec sheet. Speed was the first. Nokia's camera took 6 seconds just to open the app, with the whole process reaching 8 seconds before a first photo could be taken. Apple chose fixed focus deliberately, locking the lens at a fixed point where anything from arm's length to the horizon stays sharp. With the autofocus delay gone, the whole process took under 2 seconds from pocket to saved photo. For the actual photos people take of people and places, that speed was worth more than 3 extra megapixels.
The second decision was matching resolution to the actual use case. A 2-megapixel image is 1,600 by 1,200 pixels. The iPhone's own screen in 2007 was 320 pixels wide. The most common destination for a camera phone photo was a text message or an email with a file size limit. Apple sized the sensor for where photos were going, not for what looked best on a product box.
The third decision was the path from shutter to shared. Sharing a photo on the Nokia N95 meant opening the image, pressing Options, choosing Send, picking Bluetooth or email or a picture text, and working through sub-menus from there. On iPhone, every photo went straight into a built-in album, swipeable with a finger, emailable in two taps. Apple designed the camera as a communication tool first.
Nokia held roughly half of global smartphone sales in 2007. By 2013, that number had collapsed to single digits. Microsoft bought Nokia's phone business for $7.2 billion and wrote off virtually the entire investment as a loss within 15 months. Digital camera shipments peaked at 121 million units in 2010 and fell 94% by 2023. Apple became the company most closely linked to the phrase "digital camera" in media analysis by 2013, built from a sensor that lost to Nokia on paper.
The Nokia engineers who analyzed that first iPhone were right that the numbers didn't add up. The market had simply stopped counting them.
One guy say I no get standard cuz I agreed to collect 20k locum job😭

It’s just plain st00p!d to look down on any account 😭😂
I know one egbon who sits on big inheritance but chose to work like we wey come from trenches. His story, views & lifestyle inspired me alot.
But one day, after like 7 years doing consulting work for naija, he carried his bag to UK for 2nd masters and never returned. His siblings are scattered abroad and the ones in Nigeria are doing well in Politics. Sufferness no good for body.
A high USMLE score indicates that in your twenties you were driven, disciplined and tenacious enough to study extremely hard for something you were very interested in. It is not an ideal predictor of what kind of doctor you will be, but by far the best one that we have available.
If you saw that private placement document Davido mistakenly dropped and deleted a few days ago, you’d know these numbers are 100% accurate.
Dangote Refinery is looking to raise $1B, but the barrier to entry for the private placement is strictly for billionaires. 1M shares minimum at $0.35 (approx ₦500m).
Generational wealth requires generational capital. We go queue for the retail IPO in September. 🚶♂️
It's a rookie mistake to go to NYSC camp on day 1
Stroll in on Saturday afternoon.
You'll meet no registration queue.
You won't have to stand for hours.
Your registration might be completed and approved in minutes.
You might even get your khaki on the spot.
The rooms will already be full. As such, if you find a bunk, you can put it close to the door (and breathe fresh air)
There's no single merit of going early. None.
In January 2022, Chidi Okafor found a file he was never supposed to see.
He was a Senior Internal Auditor at Pinnacle Financial Services — one of Lagos’s fastest-growing microfinance institutions.
The file was mislabelled.
He opened it by mistake.
He wished, many times in the years that followed, that he hadn’t.
