Nigeria First!

I was delighted to host the outstanding Nigerian students who represented our country at the @Huawei Global ICT Competition in China and returned home with exceptional results.

Drawn from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Igbinedion University, Okada (IUO), University of Lagos (UNILAG), Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA), University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), and Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSU), the 15 students competed across the Network, Cloud, Computing, and Innovation tracks after progressing through national and regional stages of the year-long Huawei ICT Academy programme.

At the global finals, Team Nigeria secured two Grand Prizes in the Network and Innovation tracks, two First Prizes in the Cloud track, and a Second Prize in the Computing track. These achievements made Nigeria the most successful country in the competition outside China for the third consecutive year.

Particularly inspiring was the Innovation Team from Ahmadu Bello University, whose solution leveraged Huawei’s AI, Cloud, and Ascend technologies to develop a solar-powered diagnostic tool capable of testing for malaria and intestinal parasites in under three minutes without requiring internet connectivity. It is a powerful example of how young Nigerians are applying technology not only to compete globally, but also to solve some of our most pressing local challenges.

I am looking forward to connecting these young innovators with the right support and exposure to ensure their passion and creativity can be further built on.

True:

“They gave stock to everyone. There are a bunch of highly skilled workers that we on X never think of, like Tube Benders, Orbital Tube Welders, Cleanroom Technicians, etc. that are going to make significant fortunes.”

[Peter Sellis @petersellis]

Good math, but not all quite there:

First, SpaceX pays fairly average, but for more than a decade they have offered regular (~bi-annual) liquidity to employees. To live comfortably (especially to have a family) in LA County, most employees would have sold a little bit here and there, if not a lot (e.g., if they were the sole earner in a household).

Second, critically, because there is no double trigger (in order to facilitate the liquidity), most people default to "sell-to-cover" — i.e., ~40-50% of their holdings are immediately sold to cover the taxes on vest. Remember these vests are W-2 events. In order to not do this, the employee would need to come up with significant cash (because the taxes are paid against the price at vest, not the price at grant) — especially later on.

However, two things make SpaceX particularly awesome IMO:

1. They gave employees the option to choose stock or options along the way. Someone who took options and paid the taxes with cash would have done very well.

2. They gave stock to everyone. There are a bunch of highly skilled workers that we on X never think of, like Tube Benders, Orbital Tube Welders, Cleanroom Technicians, etc. that are going to make significant fortunes.

Maybe it's overly quixotic, but this last point is underrated part of @elonmusk attacking physical problems, not just software ones, with 100x thinking: a bunch of people in the types of jobs America needs and romanticizes (for good reason) will be rewarded with the kind of wealth that really would not be possible at any other company they would have chosen.

An incredibly positive story that, if you can't see it in that light, you should look inward.

Champions League Final Scriptwriter:

- Early Arsenal goal
- 120 minutes of peak haramball torture
- Penalties go to sudden death
- Gabriel is the one who misses the decisive kick
- Arsenal remain trophyless in the UCL

[CarefreeLewisG🇪🇹📸 #YOURWORLDCHAMPIONS @CarefreeLewisG]

A message to all Arsenal fans

Yours sincerely

Big bro Chelsea

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.

The Man Who Got Rich by Failing at Everything.

In 1790s America, a barely literate leather worker named Timothy Dexter bought up mountains of worthless Continental currency, paper money from the Revolution that everyone treated like trash. His neighbors thought he'd gone mad. Then the new U.S. government honored the old notes. Overnight, Dexter was rich.

His rivals, furious and baffled, decided to bankrupt him through bad advice. They told him to ship bed warmers to the West Indies, a tropical region where no one needed heated beds. Dexter did it. His ship captain sold them as molasses ladles to sugar plantations. Massive profit. They told him to send wool mittens to the same place. Asian traders bought the entire shipment and exported them to Siberia. They told him to send coal to Newcastle, England, the coal capital of the world. His ship arrived during a miners' strike. He sold every last lump at a premium.

Dexter declared himself "Lord Timothy Dexter, First in the East, First in the West, and the Greatest Philosopher in the Known World." He built a mansion in Newburyport, Massachusetts, lined with 40 wooden statues of famous figures, George Washington, Napoleon, and himself. At age 50, he wrote a book called A Pickle for the Knowing Ones: 8,847 words without a single punctuation mark. When readers complained, his second edition included an extra page of nothing but periods and commas, with a note telling readers to "pepper and salt it as they pleased."

Then he faked his own death. About 3,000 people showed up to mourn him. When Dexter noticed his wife wasn't crying, he leapt from hiding and berated her for insufficient grief. He died for real in 1806, still wealthy, still ridiculous, still undefeated by every scheme designed to destroy him.

History's greatest proof that sometimes the universe just picks a guy and refuses to let him lose.

Man.

A few years ago, I was drinking at this joint I normally drink at in G.R.A when this young waitress served. Looked all of 17 & it was quite late. I was a bit bothered. She looked way too young. So I asked her. She was 17. Pretty young girl...

For me, Temisan Okomi achieved the seemingly impossible. After very many years of cut-and-thrust jousting, he was finally able to convince me that Biggie was a better lyricist than 2Pac. A father par excellence. A Gunner. A genuine human. Rest in peace, my brother. I'll miss you!
