Being me is the best I could and will ever be.

@giftty_k A lovely and impactful read!

Today the house is “Mama Rose Family House.”
Amanda lives downstairs. I stay upstairs when I visit from Canada.
We rent 2 rooms to students. Money goes to grandma’s church + scholarship fund.
Her name on the gate. Our rivalry buried in the backyard with her.

Family rivalry isn’t always knives. Sometimes it’s silent scorekeeping:
“Who called more?” “Who sent more?” “Who stayed longer?”
Love isn’t a competition. But grief makes us compete for proof we mattered.

Lesson that healed us:
Inheritance is about assets. Legacy is about who shows up when no one’s watching.
You can lose the house and still win the family.
The person who “stayed” isn’t your enemy. Absence is. And absence is what we both felt when grandma died.

Amanda and I don’t compete now. We complete.
She handles the house. I handle the bills + scholarship from abroad.
Grandma’s last lesson: “My girls, stop fighting over me. Start building for each other.”

So if you’re in a family rivalry over land, money, or “who mom loves more”…
Pause. The real inheritance is peace. Everything else is just property.

JPMorgan hired four autistic employees in 2015 as a small test. Six months later, those four were 48% faster than colleagues who'd been doing the same job for three to ten years. In some roles, they were 90 to 140% more productive.

That small test grew into a global program. Today JPMorgan's autism hiring program spans 10 countries and over 70 different job types, with hundreds of people hired through it and 99% staying long-term. Other companies have been doing the same thing, some for longer.

SAP (the German business software giant) started even earlier, back in 2013. They now have 215 autistic employees across 15 countries. One of them rebuilt how the company processes its giant credit card statements (think American Express, 20,000 line items per bill). What used to take 2 or 3 days now takes 20 minutes. 94% of these hires stay.

EY (the consulting giant) started its own program in 2016, focused on automation and data analysis. The team has grown to over 500 people across 23 offices in 10 countries. EY says the tools they've built have saved or made the company close to $1 billion. 92% retention.

Hewlett Packard tried the same idea in Australia, on software testing teams. Same result: 30% more productive than the rest. Microsoft, 10 years into its own program, reports the same kind of gains across its teams.

There's a biological reason. Harvard Business Review and JPMorgan's internal data both point to it. Autistic brains tend to use more of their processing power for visual analysis and pattern recognition. Picture spotting one small bug buried inside millions of lines of code. Less mental energy goes to social cues and impulse control. Add hyperfocus, the ability to lock onto one task for hours without losing attention, and you get a brain built for software, fraud detection, and AI.

85% of autistic adults with college degrees can't find a job. The general US rate is 4.3%. A huge pool of qualified people sitting unemployed, while the handful of companies that figured out how to hire them are getting double-digit productivity gains.

Palantir's new fellowship lands right in that gap. Pay: $110K to $200K plus stock. Over 2,000 applications came in for the first round, and CEO Alex Karp does the final interviews himself. No formal diagnosis required. Karp's own words: "the neurally divergent (like myself) will disproportionately shape America's future."

Reads like marketing copy. 10 years of data from SAP, JPMorgan, Microsoft, EY, and HPE suggest the bigger story is hiring strategy.

[Oladoyin Akinwunmiju @isehinde]

@Sharylynee @Jevrix9 Comprehension is a problem for some people truly! Both siblings in the story are girls. How does providing for the parents enter this matter? It's very likely you have a similar background and you are just projecting your misgivings and are bitter. May your mind be open.

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Angelic Interractions and The believer

A pastor told a true story some years ago. He said, “Two angels came to me. One was big, tall, a huge fellow. He said, “Come, I want to show you how to heal the sick.” I didn’t know who he was. I knew it was an angel, just didn’t know which one. That angel is the one who goes with me in healing the sick. I followed him through the aisle of a building that looked like a church. He was showing me how to heal the sick. There was another angel behind him who wasn’t saying anything, just carrying out his ministry.
We have to understand there is a realm of the Spirit. It exists, and it is here now. We are part of it because we’re born into it. Every one of you has an angel—at least one. Many of them go with me now. Some are just stationed in certain places. That’s a fact. Very important fact. They bless people.

Kenneth Hagin told a story: Jesus appeared to him one time, and while Jesus was talking, demon spirits came and stood between him and Jesus. Jesus kept talking, but the demons made noise—yak, yak, yak. He wondered, “Doesn’t Jesus know I can’t hear Him anymore? Isn’t He going to do something?” But Jesus kept talking.

Finally, he got aggravated and rebuked the devil, saying, “Get out in Jesus’ name.” The demon fell down, ran off like a little monkey with its tail between its legs. Then Jesus said, “If you hadn’t done something about it, I couldn’t have done anything.”

Jesus explained, “When I came out of the grave and received all authority in heaven and earth, I gave the authority to the church. The authority over demons is with you. If you hadn’t done anything, I couldn’t have done anything about the situation.”

Oral Roberts tells a story of being in the hospital. While there, Jesus appeared and talked to him. A huge, tall angel stood by. Jesus said, “That’s your angel.” After Jesus left, the angel was waiting. The angel said, “Dispatch me.” Roberts asked in the name of Jesus, “I dispatch you,” and the angel went.

I remember the first time I saw an angel in 2005. I was in my second year at Bowen University. I had applied to the chaplaincy to be chosen as a Campus Fellowship Executive Member, even though I was in my second year. Applications were accepted from only third-year students at the time. I was, however, a Student Fellowship leader since my first year, and the fellowship I led was the biggest on campus.

On the day the executive members were to be inaugurated, an angel suddenly appeared to me in the library. I wanted to scream, but no sound came from my mouth; I was just still. This angel stood by my side until a Christian brother walked in and held me by the hand. He led me to the courtyard and began to pray for me. I personally didn’t really fancy this Christian brother that much because of how he conducts himself, and he didn’t really fancy me either.
Yet, the Spirit of God led him straight to me, and the power of God came over me like wildfire that day.

Since then, I have seen angels and had interactions with them so many times. Sometimes, the angel of a believer will have discussions with me about that believer, and the believer himself or herself would have never had any form of interaction with his or an angel before.

This is quite fascinating.

You don’t have to wait to see an angel first; the Bible says they are already there.

The key to living the supernatural life is to believe God wholeheartedly and obey his words. Jesus said blessed are those who believe without demanding proof, like Thomas.

Did God say it? I believe it. I speak it. I act upon it. I tailor my life to walk in it. I do not say I believe and then act contrary to it because of my flesh or senses. I may not see it, but I know it is there, and I believe it is there because God said it is there. I trust and obey the Lord always.

Look at Elisha in 2 Kings. Elijah prayed, “Lord, open his eyes that he may see.” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. Elisha was no more protected than we are. Fear deactivates the army of God. When you become afraid, angels do nothing because they wait for your word.

Hebrews chapter 1 shows us angels are ministering spirits sent forth **to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation**. Not “to them,” but “for them”—they wait for instructions. There are angels all around us, of different kinds and levels. Some minister to God, some minister for God, and some are with us. Jesus said, “Don’t underestimate any of these little ones; their angels see the face of My Father regularly.”

As you grow and obey God, your angel grows with you. More angels may be sent under them. Your angels have been there all along, waiting for you to speak. Sometimes we cry in their presence but don’t act. Peter stepped out of the boat to walk to Jesus. When he looked at the waves, fear gripped him, and he began to sink—even in the presence of Jesus. But Jesus quickly reached him, saying, “Why did you doubt?”

It’s the same today.

There is a real realm of the Spirit, and we are born into it. Every one of us has at least one angel. Some are with us all the time, some are stationed in places. Angels minister, bless, and obey the instructions of God, waiting for us to step into faith and action. This is a place of revelation where the Word of God comes alive, and the reality of the Spirit is unveiled. Our desire is to equip you with faith, wisdom, and understanding so you can walk in the fullness of God’s plan for your life.

Last night I had one of the most vivid, intense dreams I’ve had in a long time.

I was traveling along a long, winding motorbike trail through the bush in Northern Nigeria—a path known in the dream to be used by militant Muslim Fulani terrorists to carry out attacks on Christian villages.

The trail started in a small Christian community and stretched for hours. At multiple points it split into different directions, but every step of the way, the Holy Spirit was guiding me—clearly showing me which path to take.

There was a deep urgency.
I knew there was a specific compound we had to locate—one that had been responsible for the deaths of countless Christians. Previous attempts to find it had failed.

But in the dream, I knew: if we could locate it, thousands of lives could be saved.

There was no fear—only focus.

After hours of following this hidden trail, I finally reached a massive compound, part of it underground. Inside was a cache of weapons and evidence of Islamic indoctrination with targets specifically on Christians.

I had a clear assignment:
Find it.
Confirm it.
Send back the coordinates.

If I did my part, others would do theirs.

As soon as I located it and sent back the exact location, I woke up.

I’m still processing all the layers of this, but one thing is clear:

We cannot pray vaguely anymore.

We need to pray with precision.
For exposure of hidden evil.
For protection over vulnerable villages.
For disruption of planned attacks.
For courage and wisdom for those on the ground.

There is urgency—but there is also peace.

Let’s not look away. Let’s not grow numb.

Pray for Nigeria 🇳🇬🙏🏽

⸻

PRAYER POINTS:
1.Pray that every hidden network of violence in Nigeria would be exposed and brought into the light.
2.Pray that planned attacks against Christian villages would be stopped before they happen.
3.Pray for divine protection over pastors, families, and communities in vulnerable regions.
4.Pray for wisdom, strategy, and courage for leaders and those working to bring security on the ground.
5.Pray that fear would be broken and that the Church in Nigeria would stand strong with faith, unity, and boldness.
6.Pray that what the enemy has meant for evil would be turned for good, and that many would encounter Jesus even in the midst of darkness.

@NejeebBello What really happened? This is sad.

[Sam Ivere @hsprafrique]

In November 2023 the CBN redesigned the naira.

Old notes became invalid. New notes were scarce. ATMs ran dry. POS machines failed under unprecedented load. Digital payment platforms collapsed under traffic — they were never designed to handle.

One backend engineer at a Nigerian fintech — kept their platform alive for 72 hours straight.

While every competitor went down — his platform processed 40 million transactions.
This is what he did. 🧵

[Teacher Chike @teacherchike1]

I remember how my mother frustrated my plans of having a girlfriend after secondary school. That woman sef 😩😂

I attended an all-boys secondary school. Immediately after graduation, I wanted to experience having a girlfriend. My friends had girlfriends and I felt like I was missing out.

So every evening, I would bathe, dress well, and start moving around my area looking for girls to talk to. 😁

My mom got angry. She set a rule. Once she was home by 6 pm, nobody should be outside except for church activities.

I disobeyed.

She called me and pleaded with me. She said she would make the house comfortable, even if it meant fueling the generator every day. She begged me not to be found outside.

I did not listen.

Then she switched to warfare.

Most nights, she would come to my bedside, hold my legs, and cry to God.

“Emmanuel will not miss the way.”

“It will not be heard that a child born in the church ended up in the world.”

While she prayed, I was angry. I felt restricted. My friends were outside enjoying themselves. I felt caged.

But she continued.

For over a month.

Until one day, I encountered the Lord.

There is no parenting without spiritual warfare.

You can set rules. You can build systems. But if God does not watch over a child, effort alone will not be enough.

Parents, take your children to God in prayer. Express your fears. Express your weaknesses. Fight for their destinies.

This is a special invitation for parents and intending parents who want to engage in corporate prayers for their children and unborn children.

Our Parents' Prayer Fellowship holds weekly Wednesday vigils. For the next 10 Wednesdays, we will be running a special program:

10 Wednesdays of Battle for the Destinies of Our Children.

Do not take this lightly. Someone prayed you into who you are today.

A Stanford student got reported for academic misconduct last semester.

His research paper was so good his professor assumed he bought it.

The academic integrity hearing lasted 3 hours.

Here's what happened in that room.

The panel asked him to explain his methodology from scratch. He opened his laptop, pulled up https://t.co/7NsPvmOCXF, and started rebuilding the entire paper live in front of them.

First he fed it his raw notes and asked: "You are a research methodology expert. Here are my raw notes. Identify the 3 strongest arguments buried in this data, rank them by originality, and show me exactly where each one challenges or extends existing literature."

The professors went quiet.

Then he ran: "Now simulate a hostile peer reviewer with a PhD in this field. Generate every serious objection they would raise against my thesis. Then tell me which objections actually have merit and which ones I can dismantle."

One professor leaned forward and asked him to stop so she could write down the prompt.

He kept going. "Take my weakest argument and steelman it harder than I did. Show me what it would look like if it were airtight. Then tell me what I'd need to prove to get it there."

Then the one that ended the hearing. "You are my thesis advisor. I have 24 hours before submission. Read this draft and tell me the single change that would move this from a B+ to an A. Be brutal."

He walked them through how he'd used that last output to rewrite his conclusion three times until it held up under every objection in the room.

What took most PhD candidates 6 months of back-and-forth with advisors, he was doing in real-time inside a single workflow.

The panel didn't just clear him.

They gave him the highest grade in the department's history and asked him to present the workflow to faculty.

The irony is beautiful. The paper looked too good to be human because he'd found a way to think harder than most humans bother to.

That's not cheating. That's the new ceiling.

Pewbeam is live 🎉

This was just a dream, a dream I didn’t even know was possible—but I decided to pursue it anyway. Today, that dream is now a reality. We have a desktop app (Windows and macOS—this weekend) that can do all of this and even more. Over the last six months, I’ve pushed myself and my team hard, and I’ve seen people become hopeful and genuinely blessed by this product. I’ve received strong support from pastors, church members, techies, and several media houses and reporters. It has been a great honor to spend myself on something worthwhile.

We’ve built an AI-native presentation app that displays relevant scriptures on screen in under 80 ms, without needing a volunteer. We’re starting with scriptures, but we’re growing into a comprehensive presentation software, with slides launching next month.

From testing @pewbeam_ai in churches over the last four weeks, pastors have been able to focus on what matters instead of juggling or micromanaging the media team while preaching. Church members have been able to follow their pastor’s references in real time and take better notes. In the words of a member from one of the test churches: “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons in church completely.” This is the kind of impact I see Pewbeam having on people’s faith and on how church and worship are done.

Pewbeam’s mission is to ensure the Church is not left behind in the AI era. We’re starting with this application, with many more to come in the next few months. We’ll keep working with stakeholders in the Christian faith, collect feedback, and build tools that better support discipleship. And unlike previous waves of technology, I believe we can be among the first movers in this AI revolution.

With all that said, the final build of the app is ready, and we’re launching for public download on February 25, 2026. The app has a generous free tier for small churches and fellowships, and a paid plan (location-based pricing) that unlocks unlimited access to all features.

If you’ve been following this journey, I appreciate you, and I assure you it will be worth it.

Please download, subscribe, and use in your church.

BREAKING: Don't leave this earth without knowing Jesus, pass it on timeline.

[Dear Christian @DearXtian]

Nlate Schwegman, 25, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer after struggling with persistent coughing and severe back pain. Doctors gave him just a 3% chance of survival.

Instead of giving in to fear, he turned to God; immersing himself in Scripture, prayer, and worship, even through painful, sleepless nights.

One night, he says he felt a strange warmth move through his body. By morning, the pain was gone.

At his next scan, doctors reportedly found no trace of cancer and even noticed new bone growth where the disease had damaged him.

Hallelujah!

@BamideleKafayat @Prestigious_Gt It is not a must but if you belong and are committed to a community it is required of you to be part of what they have put in place to help people. The thing is that no man knows it all, you learn from the experience of others how to navigate your own way.
