Let’s break down Mr. Taiwo Oyedele’s @taiwoyedele response to KPMG.
It’s a long thread, but it’s engaging, insightful, and highly educational.

After serving time in prison, Dani Alves has been found not guilty of rape.
Life moves on like nothing happened—especially for the woman who destroyed his life. She walks free.
Dani lost everything—absolutely everything, including his family. As a man, the game was rigged against him from the start.
Once worth $60 million, his empire collapsed after being accused of rape in a Barcelona nightclub bathroom. At 39, Dani spent 14 months in Brians 2 prison.
Sponsors like Puma cut ties, costing him millions. Lawsuits piled up, including a $2.2 million claim from Pumas UNAM. His marriage to Joana Sanz also crumbled, ending in a 2024 divorce filing.
Convicted in February 2024 under Spain’s strict consent laws—based largely on the accuser’s testimony—he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison and ordered to pay €150,000 in damages (covered in part by allies, including Neymar’s family). Despite proclaiming his innocence, Alves appealed.
On March 28, 2025, Catalonia’s High Court unanimously acquitted him, citing “flaws and inaccuracies” in the evidence, inconsistencies in the woman’s story, and a lack of corroborating proof. He walked free after 839 days behind bars.
Meanwhile, the accuser remains anonymous—and uncharged for an unproven claim.
The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce that the maximum validity periods for all categories of nonimmigrant visas for Ghanaians have been restored to their previous lengths.

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.
Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.
The British Empire was, in some ways, a force for good.
In many places it occupied it:
-raised the standard of living
-developed infrastructure
-promoted education
It also single-handedly ended slavery for much of the world…🧵(thread)
Everyone thinks you need money to make money.
It’s not true (and it never has been).
I’ll prove it.
A few examples:
1. Steve Jobs sold his Volkswagen and Steve Wozniak sold his HP calculator, raising $1,300 to start Apple.
2. Sara Blakely used her last $5,000 in savings to start her company, SPANX.
3. I started my business with less than $2k.
As you can see, it doesn’t take massive amounts of funding to become successful.
Sure, it was a different time back then.
But you could argue it’s easier than ever to start a biz with nothing to your name.
Remote opportunities are everywhere.
I’ll give you some insights into my business:
Alongside my 9 to 5, I decided to start building a Remote Home Cleaning company.
All I had to do was:
• Find houses that need cleaning
• Offer to do the dirty work
• Hire some cleaners
• Pay them
It’s a simple business model that doesn’t require a ridiculous amount of capital.
There are plenty of other options too.
If you can:
• Find a way to make money
• Cash flow after expenses
• Reinvest everything else
You can’t lose.
Anyone who says:
“It takes money to make money.”
Hasn’t done the necessary research to take a risk and go all in on something.
Anything is possible these days.
If you’re ready to make a change in your life…

Millions of children around the world go to bed hungry every night, their stomachs gnawing with hunger pains as they try to sleep, a stark reminder of the inequalities that persist in our society.
Mr. T. on how he chose his name: I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy".
So I questioned myself:
"What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?"
So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man.
I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr.""
There’s been some efforts lately by some tribes to cut certain Yoruba terms off their Yoruba roots.
Awori, Eko, Etiosa, Idu, and Oshodi are only a few of these terms.
These efforts bear political tones, but they are now to be exposed & crushed by evidence & reason.
A Thread‼️
In 2007, a 43-year-old man named Lenny Robinson from Maryland sold his cleaning business to pursue his dream of becoming Batman.
He had bought a replica of the iconic suit earlier to impress his son, which he refined over time. Lenny also acquired his own Batmobile, a black Lamborghini.
His mission was to visit children's hospitals and spend time with sick kids, helping them through tough times.
Once, he intervened for a 6-year-old girl with a rare genetic disorder who was being called a liar at school for claiming Batman was her friend. Lenny, dressed as Batman, came to her school, confirming her truth publicly.
However, tragedy struck on August 16th, 2015. Lenny's Batmobile broke down on a highway. As he examined the vehicle, he accidentally stepped too far onto the road and was struck by a passing car.
The last photo of Muhammad Ali, 2016
Born Cassius Clay, Ali is considered the most important athlete of the 20th century by many professionals and critics.
Known as "The Greatest," Ali would use boxing as his platform to advocate for civil rights and humanitarian issues and as a form of self-expression.
Despite being considered the best boxer of all time, Ali dealt with racism and discrimination his entire life. Here is a story about Ali that shows his dedication to his beliefs:
Ali had won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics boxing tournament at just 18 years old.
He returned to his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, where he was referred to with slurs by local newspapers.
Proud of his accomplishments, Ali went out one night to celebrate his victory while wearing his gold medal.
Upon entering a diner, Ali was refused service.
Enraged that the waitress would only recognize him for the color of his skin and not his character, Ali threw his medal into the Ohio River off a bridge. He did this as he felt that no matter what he achieved, he would never be judged for his character but for his physical features.
Ali had an incredible career, with 56 wins (37 knockouts) and 5 losses. Towards the end of his career, Ali showed signs of Parkinson's disease, which caused him to retire.
Ali was known for his unique boxing style, which consisted of movements such as the "Ali shuffle," which gave the impression that he was dancing.
He was not credited as a heavy hitter, but he was known for his dodging and agile abilities, which allowed him to dodge attacks to tire out his opponents, allowing Ali to be more aggressive.
Ali would go on to inspire millions of people around the world with his poetic commentary, wishful thinking, and generous attitude.
