Speaking further on the planned NYSC reform, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Coordination, Hadiza Bala Usman, revealed that the NYSC orientation camp would be restructured into three phases:
- The first two weeks will focus on civic responsibility, national values, and leadership development.
- The next two weeks will cover career mapping, financial literacy, business planning, and access to finance.
- The final two weeks will provide specialised training based on each corps member’s chosen career stream.
Under the new framework, corps members will select one of the newly created 11 specialised streams upon registration and will receive specialised training throughout the orientation programme in preparation for future employment and national service.
The 11 specialised streams are: Agric Corps, Medical Corps, Education Corps, Tech and Digital Corps, Legal Corps, Public Service Corps, Infrastructure Corps, Green Corps, Enterprise Corps, Creative Economy Corps, and Paramilitary and Security Corps.
She added that the specialised streams will equip graduates with practical skills tailored to their academic backgrounds, career interests, and the country’s workforce needs.
Usman noted that the reforms also review deployment procedures, including how corps members are posted across states, with greater consideration for prevailing security realities.
You won’t understand how dangerous the olodo pandemic is until it starts showing up in professions where competence is the difference between life and death.
This is one of those moments where I feel most disconnected from my normie friends
I'm like "do you realize what this means?" And they say "no" and I realize I will need to explain decades of nerd lore and in the end they don't care
Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

I love people who are intellectually omnivorous.
The kind who can discuss folklore, black holes, bird migration, poetry, and grocery store pricing in a single conversation without getting lost.
Signs that an empire is collapsing usually emerge gradually rather than in one dramatic moment. Beyond unrepaired roads and decaying infrastructure, watch for currency debasement driving inflation, collapsing long-distance trade, overstretched armies losing border control, rising political corruption and fragmentation, shrinking public services, and growing reliance on outsiders for defense or labor. Daily life for most people changes slowly at first, with the full scale of transformation only clear in hindsight. The Roman example unfolded over centuries.
this took so long for me to understand: the bottleneck to more innovation is not more high intelligence people, but more people having an interest in hard problems
it's impossible to create new useful things if you don't get immense happiness from making that thing
Space naturally selects the makers since you need makers to create abundance in order to take.
Thus, eventually the takers on Earth would force the makers to go to space while takers would ironically be fighting for the diminishing pie despite resource-rich environments.
It's the 90s all over again, and the next 25-35 years are gonna be wild. 35 years from now and the generations born then will look at us like we're Neanderthals!
