Ibadan micra drivers and bad mouth are 5 & 6. I was coming home from work & I wanted to take a cab from Iwo road. I politely asked the man, "how much?" he said #500. I said ahh kilode Otipoju The man said “shebi Pepsi niyen lowo ee, ragbado si komaa feserinlo.”😭💔
THIS IS WHY I STARTED. .
I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.
And I did. By God’s grace, I play for @PSG_Feminines and I captain the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
But as my career grew, I started to notice something that broke my heart.
The coaches doing this work every single day across Nigeria on grassroots pitches, in communities, with barely any resources, no one is investing in them.
No certificate. No formal training. No support. Just passion. Just love for the game.
So I made a decision.
I started the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation NIS Coaching Education Scholarship because I believe that if you invest in the coach, you invest in every single player they will ever coach for the rest of their career and for the rest of their lives.
Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.
Let us invest in those coaches.
If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

"٩٤٪ من عينات سجاد المساجد بالرياض كان فيها نمو بكتيري لكن نسبة البكتيريا الممرضة من هذا الرقم ما تتجاوز ١.٣٪ فقط"
عبر دراسة ميدانية تم فيها أخذ مسحات من سجاد ١٠٠ مسجد موزعة عشوائياً في ٥ مناطق بالرياض. الباحثين استهدفوا أكثر الأماكن زحمة: المداخل والصف الأول (أماكن السجود) والنتيجة أثبتت أن الغالبية العظمى من البكتيريا هي مجرد "فلورا" طبيعية مسالمة من جلد المصلين.
لكن النقطة اللي وقفت عندها فعلاً في هالدراسة هي الـ ٥.٦٪ من العينات التي (لم ينمو فيها أي نوع من البكتيريا تماماً)!
هذا الرقم هو اللي المفروض نركز عليه، أكثر من تركيزنا على نسب التلوث.
التوجه الصحيح في الصحة العامة هو أننا نحدد هذي المساجد النظيفة جداً (الـ ٥.٦٪)، ونحلل "بروتوكول التنظيف" الخاص فيهم:
كيف يهوون المكان؟ إيش نوع المعقمات؟ وكيف يمنعون رطوبة الوضوء من الوصول للسجاد؟
مساجدنا بيئة آمنة والأرقام ما تخوف ومناعتنا قادرة تتعامل مع الفلورا الطبيعية، لكن الاستفادة من تجارب التنظيف الناجحة وتعميمها بيصنع فرق عظيم.
The succession everyone called for years just happened, and it's the most revealing personnel decision in tech this year. Apple is the company most behind in AI: Siri delayed three times, Apple Intelligence launched with hallucinated news headlines, and the upgraded assistant is reportedly going to be powered by Google Gemini under the hood. The obvious move was to put a software or AI executive in the CEO seat. Instead the board picked the guy who runs hardware engineering.
Ternus has been at Apple 25 years. He's a mechanical engineer. He's never run software, services, or AI. His resume is iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, and the M-series silicon transition. He is the silicon-and-systems candidate.
Cook leaves with the receipts. Market cap from $350B to $4T, a 10x in 14 years. Revenue from $108B to $416B, nearly quadrupled. Services from a footnote to a $100B business. He inherited a hardware company and built a recurring-revenue platform on top of it. The market said thanks by selling AAPL down 1% after hours.
The Ternus pick tells you what Apple's board actually believes about the next decade. The AI race won't be won at the model layer where Apple is hopeless and renting from Google. It'll be won at the silicon layer (on-device inference, custom NPUs, thermal envelope, battery), the form factor layer (glasses, wearables, ambient computing), and the integration layer (the chip talking to the OS talking to the model). All hardware-adjacent problems. All Ternus problems.
The bear case is straightforward. Apple just promoted the executive least connected to the technology that's eating the world, at the exact moment software-native companies (OpenAI with Jony Ive's device, Meta with Ray-Ban, Google with Gemini-everything) are coming for the iPhone's distribution. A mechanical engineer running the most valuable consumer software platform in history. That's a real bet.
The bull case is the same fact framed differently. Every competitor is converging on the realization that AI hardware (the device the model lives on) is the next platform, and Apple has spent 25 years building exactly that. Ternus shipped Apple Silicon, the only credible non-Nvidia AI chip in a consumer device. He runs Vision Pro. He inherited the robotics team in the April reorg.
The boring read is succession planned years in advance, no surprise. The interesting read is that Apple just told you it doesn't think the AI race ends with the best chatbot. It thinks it ends with the best device. And it picked the person who builds devices.
"Seeing is believing"
This definitely will get a lot more people interested in the sport.
I also see a product spin off this, art pieces/ merchandise made from all the colour strokes from each match.
I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport.
“Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics.
Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight
Today, I continued consultations with members of the Governance Advisory Council and other key stakeholders. We had open and constructive discussions focused on where Lagos is headed.
We remain focused on engaging widely, staying grounded, and working together to strengthen our state.
