@jayhemz We went through tweaking Symbian phones, Kingroot for MTK devices, super user, XDA forum, several MTN and GLO BIS browsing cheats and you want to help me setup my Gmail, playstore and put music for me. As how now? Those guys too funny walahi.

When we got married, my husband and I agreed that we won’t entertain visitors for for more than 1 week and they must inform us before coming.

10 months after our marriage, I lost my mum. Guess who had been accommodating my two younger ones for over 3 years?

We sometimes say things due to lack of experience, it is when life present us with the real deal that we know who our people are.

Whoever is handling this account is doing a great disservice to the President. This is supposed to be the President’s personal handle, the platform through which citizens presume he communicates directly with them.

It is therefore unfortunate that nothing has been posted on this account regarding the Ogbomosho abduction, yet the President is tweeting about a useless Presidential Primary Election that serves no immediate utilitarian value to citizens facing insecurity.

The silence is troubling, and the lack of empathy is loud. As I said earlier in one of my tweets, any leader who lacks empathy will eventually incur the wrath of the people. And when citizens become agitated, they often speak loudly through the polls. I guess we will find out next January.

As for me, you will not be getting my vote. You never had it anyway.

Scholarship would not allow me to sit on the fence, just as it would not allow me to make blanket condemnations. From my understanding, this practice is not an established part of the religion, and even those who engage in it do not necessarily claim that it is. Rather, they see it as a form of riyāḍah, a physical exercise combined with spiritual exercise through Dhikr.

There is no doubt that physical exercise is encouraged in Islam, just as spiritual discipline and remembrance of Allāh are encouraged. However, in this particular format, I am personally unaware of any clear or direct textual basis for it. I also believe that strong cultural influences have played a role in shaping the practice, as I mentioned earlier.

For this reason, I would neither engage in it myself nor encourage others to do so. At the same time, I am not Chenchen, I do not live among them, and I cannot claim deep knowledge of their historical and cultural realities. Therefore, I would consider the views of their recognised native scholars and learned authorities on the matter to carry greater weight and contextual authority.

Finally watched the finale of The Boys.

I’ve been very critical of this show the last two seasons because it just simply hasn’t been as good as Seasons 1-3. They began putting all of their creative energy into “how are we going to top the last disgusting, shocking, edgy thing we did” and cared more about the next dick joke than quality storytelling. The fall off in writing between the first three seasons and 4-5 was just insane. & though I do think this final season as a whole wasn’t as bad as S4, it still wasn’t great.

HOWEVER.

The final episode wasn’t bad. I feel Homelander deserved a little bit more spectacle for his last outing, a big mass murder spree, SOMETHING. One of the best TV villains ever—-they teased him popping his lid and going insane on the planet all this time and he never really did it. No Soldier Boy was also a real head scratcher. Not even going to go into the false advertisement with all the marketing and posters, pretty much nothing they marketed ever even happened.

But overall, I’m pretty okay with how things ended and played out. What was a pretty mediocre season had a fairly smooth landing.

And putting this finale in Stranger Things and Game of Thrones finale talks is DIABOLICAL. (ha)

Not even close to as bad as those, don’t put the Boys in that convo, it doesn’t belong in the same sentence as those monstrosities.

RIP the Boys. I will miss this show, flaws and all.

[Kantala fc @ifOnlyKantala]

I honestly don’t understand why people are complaining about Homelander’s ending in the final season of The Boys.

Come on, it’s the finale. Butcher and the team had only one real chance, so obviously they were going to go all out.

And realistically, Butcher and Ryan are strong enough to challenge Homelander. I don’t see the issue there.

People also forget that Homelander was never some honorable or ethical man who would rather die than beg. Once he lost his power, he lost everything that made him feel superior. At that point, survival became his only goal, and he was willing to do anything for it.

Honestly, it’s pretty well written. People are just overanalyzing and making it more complicated than it is.

And let’s be real, it’s still a better finale than Game of Thrones and Stranger Things.

[Smitty🥇 @Smitty_xyz]

Ok listen to me VERY carefully

1. You visit her one last time "to pick up your stuff"

2. You apologize to her parents that it didn't work out

3. You tell each parent what you learned from them and that you'll carry it with you for the rest of your life

4. They get a bittersweet feeling and will miss you

5. You make sure to remember their birthdays and send them a message on other holidays to make them never forget you

6. You are now the ex they'll compare every future boyfriend to

7. The expectations and the pressure will slow cook her subconsciously. She'll only bring bad options home.

8. They'll nag at her. "Leon was a good guy and you let him go" they'll say, sabotaging her future relationships further and slowly making her resent her parents

9. Her parents will start texting you, saying you were the best she ever brought home and that they'll miss you.

10. You say you're sorry, you really tried your best...but it takes two to make a relationship work

11. They start pressuring her to try again. She will decline at first.

12. After 10 more failed relationships and increased pressure from her parents, she gives in. She agrees to meet you once more.

13. You meet with her as a friend. You enjoy your meeting. You remind her of the good times you've had together. She starts to think "Maybe it just wasn't the right time"

14. She opens up to you, gives you another chance. You meet her a few times. Nothing happens. You are friendly but you keep your distance.

15. She finally falls in love with you. That's when you tell her you only view her as a friend and you can't stand her weird hairline. You leave and never look back

FIN

I know it's not easy but you cannot go to NYSC without ANY skill and you also return without any skill. You're setting yourself up for some serious problems after NYSC.

As much as you can, try to learn a skill ..... And it doesn't have to be tech, just any skill that can make you money in case your uncle can't get you into Shell.

School should usually be enough, but it is what it is.

THE ANATOMY OF WOMEN’S AVERSION TO POLYGAMY

We often dismiss a woman’s dislike for polygamy as mere jealousy. We call it insecurity. But that is a lazy analysis of human nature.

The aversion is rarely about the law itself. It is about the implications of that law on her safety.

Think about the math of survival. In any economic model, when you increase the divisor, the quotient decreases. To a woman, a husband represents a finite set of resources. His time is limited. His emotional bandwidth is capped. His finances are numbered.

When a second partner enters the equation, the math guarantees a reduction. It is not selfishness to protect the provision that ensures your survival and the survival of your children. It is instinct.

Then there is the fear of replacement.

Men often view polygamy as expansion. They are simply adding a new wing to the mansion. But women often view it as a renovation. They fear that the old furniture is being cleared out for the new.

The deepest psychological fear isn't just sharing the man. It is becoming obsolete to him. In a world that idolizes newness, the fear of being "the old wife" is a rational terror.

Monogamy provides a unique psychological luxury. It is the luxury of not being compared.

Polygamy removes that safety. It introduces a daily, silent metric. Who did he smile at more today? Who got the better gift? Who is he happier to see?

It forces a woman into an involuntary competition for affection in her own home. It takes immense spiritual strength to silence the voice that constantly asks, "Am I no longer enough?"

We have to be honest about the verdict.

Women do not hate God’s permission. They fear man’s execution.

They have seen too many examples where "Sunnah" was used as a disguise for neglect. They have seen justice promised but never delivered.

Until men master the duty of protection as well as they have mastered the right of marriage, the fear will remain valid.

Allah knows best.

Happy birthday to the Cisse nonuplets, who turn five today! 🥳

On 4 May 2021, nine children were born to Halima Cisse (Mali) in the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco. This is the first known incidence of nonpulets surviving birth.

Full grown adults who can’t vacation, take a gap year, have hobbies, play an instrument, speak multiple languages, swim, cycle, skate, or backpack. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to escape survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics no one really talks about.

Failure in one picture: no tap water in the state. You can't find ordinary soap in the state hospitals. Snakes and birds have taken over the primary schools. State ministries? Don't even go there.

[Slim @onu_slim]

You’re spending ₦150,000 to ₦300,000 every month just trying to move from point A to point B……fuel, bikes, Ubers, just to get to work and back.

And it doesn’t stop there. There’s always something else to fix or replace …. tyres, minor repairs, unexpected breakdowns. Then add the time you lose sitting in traffic because the roads are a mess.

Fuel price goes up? You pay for it.
Car develops a fault? Still on you.

By the time the month ends, a huge chunk of your income is gone and all you have to show for it is stress.

That’s the reality for a lot of young Nigerians. Working hard every day, but still feeling like they’re not moving forward.

Three years since the minister of Communications and Innovation was appointed, and he achieved many big wins:

- Data prices are lower, and quality of internet is way better
- The Post Office now works perfectly
- Startup funding at all time high
- 10,000s of techies got jobs
- Nigeria is now a major outsourcing capital
- Cyber security is very high - nobody is getting hacked
- Bandits are easily traceable via their phone lines
- Many early stage digital companies in all parts of the country
- Broadband is now ubiquitous and cheap
- The ministry website is loading quickly

Congratulations - this shows that technocratic appointments are the best.

[Mark Essien @markessien]

One mistake Africans make when it comes to money is that they do not maintain capital. They earn money and build a house, buy a car, help people in the village, throw parties. They do not keep capital, they do not collaborate with others who have capital. Ownership of capital is how keep wealth over the long run.

If 5 people can jointly field 1bn, they can make more from the 1bn together than if they each had 200m.

Always grow your capital, and collaborate with people who also have capital so you can join deals. And never be greedy - the bigger your capital, the safer your investment target should be.

Work with the same people for long - if you know a retailer who regularly needs 10s of millions for restocking, be their capital provider over years. You too will know the business, and you will have a good sense of how at-risk your capital is. Chasing new ideas is often poor.

Many people have technical knowledge or access, but lack cash to execute - if you see them do it 2-5 times, join them on the 6th time with 10% of their need, then 20%, etc. Try to never cross 30% financing, otherwise you are taking all the risk.

Keep your capital liquid when it is small and lock up in safe, interest producing assets when it is large.

Only ever buy private homes or cars from your interest - your wealth is not your capital, it's your interest.

I strongly dislike Nigerian "hustle" culture. The end game is always money. Not meaning, legacy or anything that outlives you.
