@FinPlanKaluAja1 Yea, that was my read of the situation.

If global consulting firms already warned years back that these refineries were dead, you can be sure these guys ain't expanding, but building new trains within the complex.

@ok6ixx Yea. Just good old human.

@business Zim is having a solid minerals boom and is definitely in a better place to right the wrongs of years past.

A great start to a better future.

@Rinamary0317 There was an influx of my kinsmen to Japan in the decade to 2008.

The demand for manual labor was high and most of the migrants worked in factories.

Most of the migrants were young, able - bodied. No doubt they went on to raise families over there.

@Joe_brendan_ That time Wil come after the end of the reign of these locusts.

You forgot that 99% of these guys are competing on how to become the next 1 trillion naira thief like the Delta governor outed by EFCC, whose sins have been forgiven by APC.

Hedge fund jobs were the real deal at a time.

Tech jobs took the headlines and held new careerists spellbound.

Crypto jobs did not cut it as the easy ticket to big bucks.

Now, it's AI that rules. Will the future be different?

KwaDukuza In The Clouds

The first time I stepped on South African soil, what awed me was the seeming orderliness.

Clearly, a system was in place, and the country ran on those rails.

I used the coach to Kimberly from JHB, and behold the beauty of the daughters of men.

At New Germany, the serenity placed my soul at ease. At KwaDukuza, the low clouds made me see visions of the glory of God in broad daylight.

On display in SA is more than 400 years of Boer civilization, British influences and the suzerainity held over the Xhosas, khoisans zulus, twanas, and other ethnicities.

It is so easy to take important things for granted when you lose focus.

You are breathing without mechanical support, yet you are grumpy about the things you don't have.

Be grateful first for life!

The Black Edison - Granville. T. Woods

Granville T. Woods (1856–1910) was a prolific American inventor and electrical engineer who held more than 60 patents during his lifetime.

Often called the "Black Edison" for his significant contributions to electrical and mechanical engineering, he is best known for revolutionizing the railway industry with inventions that made train travel safer and more efficient.

Key Inventions and Contributions

Woods focused much of his work on transportation and communication, including:

Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph (1887):

His most notable invention, which allowed communication between moving trains and train stations using induction. This "original texting system for trains" helped prevent countless collisions by letting dispatchers track train locations.

The "Troller" and Third Rail: He developed a grooved wheel (the troller) that allowed streetcars to pull electricity from overhead wires, leading to the term "trolley". He also contributed significantly to the third rail system used in modern subways.

Automatic Air Brakes: He improved train safety by patenting an automatic air brake system, which was later sold to the Westinghouse Air Brake Company.

Telegraphony: A device that combined features of the telephone and telegraph, allowing users to send voice and Morse code messages over a single wire. This patent was purchased by Alexander Graham Bell.

Diverse Innovations: His range extended beyond railways to include an egg incubator and electrical dimmers for theaters.

Challenges and Legacy

Despite his brilliance, Woods faced intense racial discrimination and legal battles. Most famously, Thomas Edison twice sued him, claiming ownership of the multiplex telegraph; Woods won both cases.

Edison was so impressed that he eventually offered Woods a job, which Woods declined to remain independent.

Dubai Spam Calls

Only a few people might be able to bear witness to the fact that Dubai realtors and investment companies used to spam call Nigerians between 2006 to 2010.

One of those companies had "First" as a parr of its registered business name.

I personally received those calls with offers to come over and visit Dubai, inspect properties and invest.

In 2026, the Strait of Hormuz crisis might necessitate a fresh Dubai marketing blitz when the present dust settles.

As it stands, Dubai is bleeding and the days ahead, might not be as glorious as the recent past.
