I’m not surprised 😂. My boss sent me a MacBook and iPhone 17 from the US through DHL early this year . When it arrived in Nigeria, DHL said NDLEA had seized it for “investigation” for about 5 days.. I was how ? Wetin concern NDLEA with gadget ??
They requested for sender and received id card, letter and receipt of purchase, we provide everything.. still yet, they didn’t release it
A few days later, someone from there office called asking for settlement before it could be released. I immediately reported it to the Abuja office, and within two hours, my package was released back to DHL. 😂
Along the way somebody was gracious enough to take a chance on you because you had the right attitude even if you didn't have the skills to match. It's only right you extend the same grace to someone else.
“Someone” is too vague.
20-30 years old: Find a very good job in a place where you can get leverage to buy assets. Get married, save together. The other option is to start a business early but know that 99% of the time, it will die but the experience will be valuable.
30-40: Start thinking of starting a business from what you have learned. Find partners, mentors, funders.
40+ Enter politics.
Seriously, after 40 wealth is more about connections than effort. This is the time you cash in on relationships built over time.
Wealth is about relationships and compounding the benefits of those relationships. No matter how brilliant you are, nothing will bring you wealth if you don’t build relationships.
Friends have always opened the doors for me and recommended me to rooms where I made money from.
Shell and other companies usually include a “technical presentation" as part of the interview process.
I had one the day before my Shell Recruitment Day.
Presented to a bunch of folks from the Technical Safety Engineering team.
One of the biggest scams in the corporate world is in that name – technical presentation – because I can assure you that the last thing they want is something technical.
I have seen so many smart candidates fall for this.
You think you impressed them.
But the next thing you get is a rejection email.
Because nobody is actually evaluating your technical skill.
They are looking for something else entirely.
(I wish they’d just be more honest about this.)🧵
This is me during my Shell Recruitment Day in November 2011.
1hr after the whole day group interview, I got the phone call I can never forget, “Congratulations, they all loved you. When can you start?”
If you have an upcoming group interview where they put a bunch of you together in a room and give you a task to work on together, then sit up.
I will tell you my secrets.
I don’t need them anymore and it can help you land your dream job.
They are what I used during my SRD.
I have given the same playbook to many mentees who used them to land their dream jobs in various companies.
So, trust me, this works.

@asemota Epa! I can confirm that he needs the Laptop and its a good one but the Duo does get hot under the collar with game and 3D.
He might be better with the ROG strix Asus and a complement Asus screen. Same price bucket but one does better for his use case.
Hi Hamid,
I am Yusuf. I came across your mountains post from yesterday 25/4, and it stopped me completely. I decided to push myself to the limit and implement your formula from scratch, pixel by pixel, as a personal mathematical challenge.
After careful study of the image, I have successfully identified and understood 12 of the 14 mathematical objects:
✓ F(x) — color compression to [0, 255]
✓ N_s(x,y) — fractal noise with 6^5 * 5^(-s) frequency scaling
✓ E(x,y) — fractal envelope as a 50-term weighted sum
✓ Z_s(x,y) — layer occlusion product
✓ S(x,y) — sky value
✓ R(x,y) — layer depth value
✓ T(x,y) — distance to mountain center
✓ B(x,y) — slope angle via arctan
✓ A(x,y) — layer brightness
✓ H_v(x,y) — final color channel for v = 0, 1, 2
✓ Coordinate mapping: x = (m-1000)/600, y = (601-n)/600
✓ The full N_s structure
The two I cannot read precisely enough from the image are:
✗ J_s(x,y) — the mountain shape indicator
✗ K_v(x,y) — the lighting kernel
I can see the general structure of both. J_s uses a double exponential with cosine products and E(x,y)/1000 in the exponent, and K_v sums 50 terms of (91/100)^s weighted by cosines involving T, B and v. But the exact coefficients inside the ridge shape term of J_s and the cosine arguments of K_v are too dense to read at the resolution I have.
What I am currently seeing in my attempts: the layering and occlusion work correctly and the fractal texture E renders as expected, but without the exact J_s the mountain silhouettes are wrong. Peaks appear at incorrect positions and the snow and rock boundary does not match your image.
This is purely a personal challenge. I am not doing this for any commercial purpose.
Could you point me to where the full formula is published, or share a higher resolution crop of the equation panel from that post? Even just confirming those two functions would be enough to complete the implementation.
Thank you.
Yusuf
