My jaw dropped listening to this

“My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me”

He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had”

“They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins”

I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening

- Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength
- As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood

This is not what you sign up for when you download an app

"LET THEM SELL AKARA": HOW NIGERIA'S FIRST LADY BECAME THE FACE OF A RULING CLASS THAT HAS ABANDONED ITS OWN PEOPLE

There is a particular kind of cruelty that wears the mask of compassion. It smiles for cameras, launches initiatives with hopeful names, and dispenses grants to the poor with one hand while the other signs away the future of an entire nation. Nigeria has seen this before. But rarely has the mask slipped so completely, so publicly, and so catastrophically as it did this week when Senator Oluremi Tinubu, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, stood before the press and offered a suffering nation her solution to its economic agony: sell akara. Sell kuli-kuli. Sell roasted corn. It does not take plenty of money, she assured us.

Marie Antoinette, according to legend, told the starving people of France to eat cake. She was guillotined. History does not always repeat itself literally. But it has a long memory, and it is watching.

Let us be precise about what was said and what was not said. At a Renewed Hope Initiative quarterly meeting with wives of state governors at the State House in Abuja, the First Lady of Nigeria, a former senator of the Federal Republic, a woman of considerable education and political experience, chose to address the catastrophic cost of living crisis that her husband's administration has inflicted upon ordinary Nigerians by suggesting that street food vending is the path forward. This was not a casual remark at a private gathering. This was a formal address to the nation's press. This was policy communication from the highest symbolic office available to a Nigerian woman.

And while she spoke those words, somewhere in the forests of Oyo State, schoolchildren were in their sixth week of captivity. Their assistant headmaster had been killed. Another teacher had died in captivity. Families across Nigeria have been unable to sleep, unable to eat, unable to breathe normally since armed men descended on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area on May 15 and took their children into the darkness. Not one word about them passed the First Lady's lips at this event. Not one word.

This silence is not accidental. It is architectural. It is the deliberate construction of a reality in which the Tinubu presidency exists in a parallel universe, insulated from the consequences of its own failures, protected from accountability by a media apparatus, a political machinery, and a network of loyalists whose own comfort depends on the continuation of the arrangement. The First Lady is not a bystander to this architecture. She is one of its principal engineers.

Consider the choreography of the past few weeks alone. While parents in Oyo State were on their knees begging God for the return of their children, the First Lady was in Abuja launching the Tinubu Torchbearers, a pro-administration mobilisation group designed to build grassroots support ahead of the 2027 elections. At that same event, she donated personal vehicles to APC women leaders in five states. The vehicles, she specified, were to be registered in the recipients' personal names. Not for the party. Personal vehicles. From the State House. While Nigerian children remain in terrorist captivity.

And then came the akara speech.

It would be easy, and perhaps too generous, to dismiss this as mere political tone-deafness. It is something more calculated and more sinister than that. It is the language of a ruling class that has made a conscious decision to lower the expectations of the governed. If Nigerians can be persuaded that akara and kuli-kuli represent an adequate economic vision for Africa's most populous nation, then the obscene wealth accumulation of those in power becomes easier to sustain. The contrast disappears. The outrage is neutralised. The question of where the money came from need never be publicly asked.

But we will ask it.

Seyi Tinubu, the President's son, has acquired property in London valued at tens of millions of pounds. No credible public explanation for the source of these funds has ever been provided. The President's daughter is reported to have paid two million dollars for a luxury apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Meanwhile the President himself has committed thirteen billion dollars in Nigerian resources to a man, Gilbert Chagoury, who was convicted of money laundering in Switzerland, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States Department of Justice, and was listed in the FBI terrorism database in connection with the investigation into the 1998 United States Embassy bombings in East Africa. This is the man to whom Nigeria's coastal highway and port rehabilitation contracts have been awarded without competitive tender.

Sell akara.

The First Lady has been given every opportunity to demonstrate that she is something other than what she appears to be. She has chosen, each time, to confirm the worst. She parades across the world collecting chieftaincy titles and humanitarian awards. She presides over a Renewed Hope Initiative that gives grants to petty traders while the structural conditions that keep those traders permanently at subsistence level are actively reinforced by her husband's economic policies. She distributes vehicles to political allies while the roads those vehicles will travel on remain death traps. She speaks of hope while the children of Nigeria rot in the forest.

What we are witnessing is not merely political failure. It is something that demands a harder word. A husband who is visibly diminished, who struggles publicly with coherence and physical presence, is being sustained in the most powerful office in Africa. Those around him, and those who stand to benefit most from the continuation of his presidency, have made the calculation that his continuation serves their interests. The First Lady's relentless focus on 2027 electoral mobilisation, on building grassroots structures, on deploying State House resources for campaign purposes, is not the behaviour of a woman devoted to national service. It is the behaviour of someone who understands, with cold clarity, that the music stops the moment this presidency ends.

Nigeria sees this. Africa sees this. The world sees this.

The children taken from their classrooms in Oyo State had names before they became a statistic that the First Lady of Nigeria cannot bring herself to mention. Their teachers had families. The assistant headmaster who was killed had a life, had dreams, had people who loved him. His death has been met with the political equivalent of a shrug from the State House, followed immediately by a speech about the economics of bean cake.

History will record this moment. It will record the akara speech alongside the vehicle donations, alongside the Torchbearers launch, alongside the silence about the missing children, alongside the London properties and the Brooklyn apartment and the thirteen billion dollar Chagoury contracts. It will record it all as a single, coherent portrait of a ruling family that looked at a nation in agony and saw, above all else, an opportunity.

There is no good ending to this story for those who have written it this way. Not because of sentiment or political wishful thinking, but because of the iron logic of consequence. What has been done to Nigeria, what continues to be done to Nigeria, accumulates. Every family sleeping hungry. Every parent still waiting for their child to come home from school. Every young person who has buried their ambition because the country their parents built has been looted into dysfunction. All of it accumulates. All of it is remembered. All of it will be answered.

Let them sell akara.

Nigeria will not forget who told them to.

And suddenly, the governor thought, I was fighting him.

I have never fought to the governor.
I have nothing against him.

But my people that sent me here asked me to cry, and I cried.

And they appreciate it. 3 years since Tinubu’s government, 3 years.
2023, 2024, and 2025.

The budget has not been implemented.
He has never implement a budget.
How does a country run without a budget?

The selective financing of project, and we have borrowed and borrowed and borrowed.

Where is the money we are borrowing?

All the revenue generating agency in this country told us they have exceeded their target.

Where is the money going?”

🇧🇭🇮🇷 The Pentagon Is HIDING What Iran Did to the U.S. Fifth Fleet's Home Base

A new Wall Street Journal report reveals Iran spent FOUR MONTHS pounding the centerpiece of U.S. naval power in the Persian Gulf with missiles and drones.

The damage was extensive:

1. The U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters is no longer usable.
2. The Naval Security Forces training facility was destroyed.
3. Two satellite communications terminals were knocked out in the opening hours.
4. At least a dozen additional buildings were damaged across the base.

Then came the cover-up. Washington leaned on satellite firms to restrict imagery, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth REFUSED to give Congress a damage figure, and the Pentagon's own $29 billion war estimate left the Gulf bases out entirely.

Now the Pentagon is considering moving key facilities underground and shifting infrastructure farther WEST, out of Iran's missile range. You DON'T relocate your strongest bases after WINNING a war.

Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.

It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.

Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.

This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.

It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
