If you are planning to marry a woman, stop asking her stupid questions like:

• What’s your favorite color
• What’s your favorite sex position

If you want to know her mindset and thinking, ask the following simple questions.

Ask her…

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

Contentment is one of the most underrated virtues in marriage.

Social media has convinced people that there is always someone better.

A better husband, a prettier wife, a richer family, a happier marriage. So instead of appreciating what they have, they keep comparing.Comparison is poison.

You will always find someone more attractive than your spouse.

You will always find a man who is richer, fit and charming than your husband.

The secret is not finding perfection, it is to appreciating the person you chose and continuing to build with them.

Contentment turns ordinary marriages into happy marriages.

Oliver Kahn:

"Three national team coaches have failed at the same point: Joachim Löw, Hansi Flick, and Julian Nagelsmann. Three different game plans. Three different leadership styles. When three coaches with different approaches always fail at the same point, the cause lies deeper.

One scene says more about this elimination than any statistic. When the penalty shootout went beyond 5 takers, you could see Joshua Kimmich looking for penalty takers. For me, that was the most revealing moment of this elimination. A top team doesn't look for volunteers at that moment. They have players who demand the ball

Germany doesn’t have a talent problem. This team has exceptional footballers. What they lack is the confidence to take responsibility in the biggest moment. Those who don’t take it may be protecting themselves from failure. But at the same time, they’re forfeiting the chance to make history

"We're arguing about who has to go now and pinning our hopes on the next savior instead of asking why we've been repeating the same patterns for years. We replace faces and call it change. But we avoid the real question: Are we still willing to pay the price that elite performance has always demanded?

The defining moment doesn't begin when you put on the national team shirt. It begins many years earlier, the moment a young player learns that responsibility isn't something you pass on to someone else, it's something you take on yourself

Talent gets you to the World Cup. Responsibility determines how long you stay there."

1.     Yesterday, Australia’s border police reported that a consignment of charcoal from Ghana shipped to Port Botany in two containers contained methamphetamines worth ~$210 million in street value.

2.     That’s like a lot of meth, man.

3.     On the Aussie side, a British actress and an Adelaide couple have been taken into custody.

4.     ��We are not getting any serious filla from Ghanaian security agencies. In the last two years, we have seen several of such strange criminal consignments popped up with zero updates from the security services.

5.     Remember the Sapeiman bust? The one where kilos of gold and cash were found in mysterious boxes? No serious update till now.

6.     The Australian meth bust actually happened in April 2026. Ghanaian law enforcement have known since then. Not one word.

7.     This bust involving charcoal however opens up an interesting new angle outside the Ghanaian security services.

8.     No one can ship or tranship charcoal out of Ghana without a Charcoal Export Permit from the ENERGY COMMISSION. And if the charcoal originates in Ghana, one needs a Charcoal Production License.

9.     I once investigated a situation where Ghanaian charcoal producers were blaming Energy Commission for delays in securing permits for export, leading to a collapse in overseas sales.

10. What’s more, the permit process includes the intended shipping line’s details, approved export quantity, and authorised destination.

11. The permit bears the name of the licensee, permit validity period, and the destination. Since quotas are strictly enforced, circumvention is literally criminal.

12. Energy Commission, where is the data?

13. By convention, these details are even supposed to be in the publicly inspectable register.

14. So far, the only data on charcoal exports from the Energy Commission do not include Australia as an end-destination for the 13 primary exporters. Asia tops and then Europe.

15. Commercial databases only shows only $124k in wood exports (of which charcoal is likely a small subset) to Australia.

16. Regarding meth itself, Ghana is a growing node in the production of “precursors,” i.e. raw chemicals that can be turned into meth with ease (with imports supposedly regulated by NACOC), according to GI-TOC, UNODC, and other global intel services. But documented raids in Africa on actual meth factories have mostly been in South Africa and Nigeria.

17. In fact, the June 2022 Daniel Ameko/Ibrahim Fosu case was a Ghana-to-Australia meth bust using Aramex as courier.

18. Then there was a 2025 transhipment case involving Rwandan and Nigerian nodes with Ghana as transit hub.

19. Very little info has been published by the security services about all these episodes. Meanwhile, such developments raise Ghana's risk profile for all Ghanaian travellers and businesses dealing with overseas parties.

20. Will the Energy Commission do better on this one? Will they? We want the data.

When animals refuse to mate, or their productivity declines, or they are visibly bored and fatigued to breed, farmers give them SALT.

Wild animals migrate to SALT LICK.

When humans have their libido go low, or they are visibly bored and fatigued to have sex, "experts" give them sugar.

Eat SALT. What you should avoid is sugar.

Sugar is not essential for human life, but salt is vital and essential.

SALT is responsible for your stomach's HCl acid production, which is important for digesting proteins.

SALT is vital in the cell membrane potential, an important biological function for muscle contraction, nerve cell communication, sperm motility, ovum movement and embryo development.

Animals are more intelligent.

Humans are getting dumber daily.

NASA has just launched a new website for its Moon Base missions, which aims to build a permanent $20 billion U.S. base on the Moon. @SpaceX's Starship rocket will play a big role in these missions.

"The Moon Base is a home away from Earth for Artemis astronauts who will live and work at humanity’s first lunar outpost. NASA is leading global teams of innovators across international space agencies, industry, and academia to build the Moon Base and establish an enduring human presence near the lunar South Pole for the benefit of all.

Phase One (Now–2029): Experiment and Learn
NASA will begin with a rapid series of robotic missions to scout the lunar South Pole region, test technologies, and prepare for surface operations ahead of future astronaut missions.:
• A major increase in lunar activity, with up to 25 missions, including 21 landings.
• Crewed and autonomous rovers for mobility demonstrations and surface preparation, along with four drones known as MoonFall and communications relay and observation satellites.
• Early demonstrations of power, navigation, communications, and nuclear radioisotope heater unit technologies designed to endure the long lunar night.
• Scientific payload opportunities integrated across landers and rovers.
• The first tangible footprint of Moon Base effort, with four tons of payload delivered to test what works on the lunar surface.

Phase Two (2029–2032): Early Habitation
By 2029, NASA will transition to assembling semi-permanent infrastructure and initiating early habitation and logistics operations:
• Deployment of expanded solar power systems and initial nuclear surface power capabilities, potentially including fission reactors and radioisotope power systems.
• Upgraded rovers, potential advanced MoonFall drones, and early habitation elements.
• Enhanced surface-to-orbit communications networks to provide reliable connectivity across the lunar South Pole region.
• Delivery of up to 60 tons of cargo through as many as 24 landings using low-, medium-, and heavy-class cargo landers.

Phase Three (2032 and Beyond): Sustained Human Presence
This phase will scale operations to achieve a true enduring presence, with routine crew rotations and continuous surface activity. This is when living and working on the Moon becomes a reality:
• Semi-permanent habitation modules with spacious interior for crew living and operations.
• Operational fission surface power systems capable of delivering steady, reliable energy through the long lunar nights, leveraging in situ resource manufacturing.
• Advanced logistics networks supported by crewed and autonomous rovers to keep the base supplied and functioning year-round.
• Delivery of up to 38 tons of cargo annually to sustain habitats, power systems, logistics operations, and major science outposts, enabled by low-cost reusable heavy-lift capabilities."

NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole

This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it

The roadmap is highly aggressive:
• Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries
• Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones
• Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost

The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars

While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceX’s Starship was designed for

The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off

1. Sometimes, I find it very difficult understanding Ghanaian elites.

2. When I raise issues about E&P, the powerful mining services company which now wants to become the dominant mining company in Ghana, I come from a place of genuine concern.

3. African countries like Ghana absolutely need "national champions" to light the way and prove to national compatriots that IT CAN BE DONE! Nothing short of a mindset revolution will get Africa to catch up.

4. The continent went from over 5% share of all world (goods) trade in 1960 to LESS THAN 3% in 2025. After 65 years, competitiveness nearly HALVED! I think if you include services, the situation is probably more alarming!

5. But we all know it is not really countries that trade. It is companies that do.

6. In Q1 2026, two companies accounted for almost 45% of all South Korea's exports - Samsung and Hynix. Around 2000, Nokia alone accounted for ~21% of Finland's exports. Debswana accounts for over 65% or so of Botswana's exports. So, yes, national champions matter! Greatly!

7. But national championship is about PERFORMANCE more than nationality or the passport cover of the main owner. Capital has become so complex that if you obsess over nationality alone you would miss the bigger factors.

8. Morocco had no car exports just ~15 years ago. Then companies like Stellantis and Renault responded to strong policy signals and set up shop in the country. With careful strategy, the government got them to embed and embed. Think of it like NATURALISING.

9. Like the one million or so Ghanaians that have naturalised elsewhere and are sweating day and night to grow those economies. Like Zoomlion that is busy trying to build roots in half a dozen countries beyond Ghana. It's not easy, but that's how it works.

10. Due to the work of the likes of Renault & Stellantis, cars and "car value chain" outputs are now ~35% of Morocco's exports. ~224000 jobs have been created. Of the 600k cars exported out of Morocco in 2024, ~540k came from the two companies. Who inspected the passports of all investors in those two companies before counting the billions flowing into Morocco now?

11. So, we need to WISE UP. A national champion should be judged on how it IMPROVES PERFORMANCE year on year & DEEPENS Ghana's (Africa's) COMPETITIVENESS in local and, especially, international markets.

12. That requires TOUGH LOVE. Companies like all human collectives need DISCIPLINE.

13. That is why E&P and its advisors continue to disappoint me!

14. Why are they selling gold from a mine when their lease has yet to be ratified by Parliament? The law is clear. UNTIL Parliament ratifies a lease, the gold in any concession belongs to the State, and no other company. E&P has no right to be selling the gold. Even if these are stockpiles left by Gold Fields, they belong to the State. And then they make it look like they are doing Ghana a favour.

15. Without discipline, national champions become national problem children. The way to build national champions is to create conditions that toughen them up for competition even as you support their growth. It not by bottle-feeding them. Hope someone listens.

[Classic Learning Test @CLT_Exam]

A proper education once meant:

— Reading difficult books
— Writing long essays
— Learning history
— Studying philosophy
— Training memory
— Arguing clearly

Now it means:

— Career prep
— Standardized testing
— Group projects
— Slide decks
— Credential collection

Somewhere along the way, education became workforce training.
