Sometime last month, I was sitting in my veranda.

Then my daughter came to me that she wanted to show me her assignment.

I asked her to sit on my lap and she refused.

Me: come, sit here.

Her: No daddy, let me get another chair.

I insisted, and she obliged.

When we were done, I kissed her forehead and asked her to go. As she walked away, I called her back.

Me: I asked you to sit on my lap but you refused, why?

Her: Daddy, because it's not proper for a girl to sit on a man's lap.

Me: But I am not just any man, I am your father.

Me: I agree with you, and you should not sit on any man's lap. But you should trust your father to always protect you, and he won't harm you.

Her: Okay, daddy.

I knew my wife had been giving her all those orientations, and I was very pleased with what my daughter did.

Giving me the confidence that she's becoming more self-aware at almost 13.

Another day, I was about to drive out, and I asked her to go open the gate for me.

She was putting on shorts that were revealing her thighs.

She quietly went into her room, put on a long gown and came outside to open the gate.

I observed what she did and smiled quietly but didn't say anything.

I want to let some of you married men to know that some of these things are what your wives teach your daughters when you're not there.

And you're not so self-conscious as to even recognize the efforts of your wife.

You overlook these things and still do not appreciate your wife because she's not bringing in any money, and you think that makes her a liability or that she is not contributing much to your life.

You'll know your wife's level of moral assertiveness and discernment from the way your children behave in certain situations they find themselves in.

Especially in the public.

And especially your daughters.

Everything is not about money.

When you ask a woman what she is bringing to the table, this is part of it.

Your child will not just automatically learn morals or behavioral etiquette just like that, without a self-conscious mother.

The school, movies, church or even books may not be as effective as their mother's guidance.

And when you notice these things, do not just trivialize them or act as if they're normal or expected.

Learn to draw your wife's attention to what you observed, and thank her for her efforts.

That's why you're her husband.

End.

Exactly.

Enter logistics, enter commodity training but if the produce isn't coming from the farm due to crop failure or low or no profit or other isssues. At the end of the day we would just end up depending more on imports

[The Flyingfarmer @Femi__Adekoya]

Yes, I agree, agriculture goes beyond farming

But we cannot use this statement to excuse ourselves away from farming as a Nation.

We need to get our farming or primary production sector right. We need to ensure that we make it work for our farmers at every level. Farming must be lucrative and profitable to those who practice it.

Processing, logistics and whatever value chain will continue to crumble if we don’t fix our primary production sector. We need to protect farmers, economically, infra-structurally, financially, technologically and socially e.t.c

I am not taking about branding farming or agriculture… I am making a case for real impact that transforms the lives of those who practice farming.

The crash out is unbelievable. We were expecting to beat arsenal? The best I hoped for was respectable performance and no scandalous loss.

Which we did imo. I expect the likes of city, arsenal, United to beat us in the first leg.

I hope to be wrong, but it what it is.

[ExpectedChelsea @ExpectedChelsea]

Going on a tangent here, but this has been a consistent issue with the Chelsea fanbase for years. You need to respect the sport, you need to pay your dues.

We're miles off them, and rightly so. Not everything is a band-aid fix.

Africa must not only feed itself with roots, tubers and bananas. Africans should prosper from them.

At #AFSF2026, I called for investment in science, processing, value addition and regional trade to turn these vital crops into competitive industries and jobs.

[Simeon Ehui @simeonehui]

A technology sitting in a research station does not feed anyone.

On the sidelines of Day 1 at the #AFSF2026, my message was clear: Africa’s urgent gap is often not technology, but delivery.

The Big Bet is a permanent system that moves science → seed → commercial scale → farmers, when they need it.

Perhaps book details like this and superior acting + cinematography would be why the series doesn't become another "rings of power" trying to live up to the glamour of its predecessors while also staying true to it source material.

Go different and it would be an unforgiveable

[T. @confusedtayo]

wait….what if HBO is finally showing us something the original Harry Potter movies never did?

that bridge scene in the trailer looks suspiciously like James and Lily running for their lives.

if HBO is actually giving Harry’s parents a real flashback instead of only showing them through memories and photographs,they could completely change how we understand the night Voldemort came for them.

the movies told us what happened. HBO might finally show us what Harry never got to see. 👀

[emmanuel owolabi @emmaowo16]

@dwanbrooks93 @confusedtayo By book you mean the sorcerers stone right? Cos I believe their death was described briefly in the deathly hallows - the part where Harry and hermione narrowly escaped from voldermort when they were at bathildas place at godrics hollow.

@HesfordOlly @SxrgioSZN @FabrizioRomano @Rdxgraphics Don't beat yourself up. I doubted the sanity of the club for doing the transfer myself. I was especially shocked to see him become the pk taker, after that my doubts started to decline until it finally vanished.

When I was at FGC Kwali, Abuja, we were taught that every good speech should have three essential parts: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

The principle was simple: if your introduction makes a grand claim, the body must substantiate it, and the conclusion must bring the audience to a clearer understanding of your central argument.

In other words, don’t just tell people something is magnificent, show them how and why it is magnificent.

So, whenever you are called upon to speak, present an argument, or address an audience, remember this basic methodology:

Introduce the idea. Develop it. Then conclude it in a way that gives the audience clarity and closure.

Venice sits on 10 million tree trunks that were hammered into mud over 1,000 years ago. They never rotted, because the Venetians stumbled onto the one loophole in how wood dies.

Rot is a biological process. Fungi and bacteria eat wood, and nearly all of them need oxygen to survive. The Venetians drove their piles through the soft lagoon floor into dense clay, fully below the waterline, where the mud is packed so tight oxygen can't reach. The organisms that destroy wood simply starve down there.

Then the water does something stranger. Minerals in the seawater seep into the submerged trunks year after year, filling the wood's cells and slowly hardening them. Give it enough centuries and the wood drifts toward stone.

The wet-dry zone at the surface, where rot actually thrives, never touches the wood at all. Venetians capped every pile below the low-tide line with slabs of Istrian limestone, a stone so dense it barely absorbs water, then built the brick and marble on top of that. The wood stays drowned forever. Drowned is the safe state.

When the bell tower in St. Mark's Square collapsed in 1902, engineers dug in expecting a rotten foundation. They found piles roughly 1,000 years old still intact, and reinforced them rather than replace them.

Records from the Salute church claim 1,106,657 piles were driven for that single building, over about two years of continuous hammering. The Rialto Bridge sits on 12,000 more.

Venice is a petrified forest planted upside down, and the water everyone assumes is killing the city has spent ten centuries preserving its foundations.
