We sold the best player in the world for £80m and replaced him with Valencia (£16m), Obertan (£3m) and Owen (free). Can you imagine City ever having a transfer window like that? 😂 Pep worked for owners who put £1bn in to the club while Fergie worked for owners who took £1bn out.

A coworker died yesterday morning😭.
​HR knew by 9 :00 AM, but they kept us working all day. They finally told us around 4 :30 PM, then had the nerve to say, "You can head home early if you need to"—knowing we all finish at 5: 00 PM anyway.
​This morning, it’s back to "business as usual." Some of my friends are literally sobbing at their desks, but they’re expected to work and be productive. No time to grieve.
​It’s a cold reality. Within a week, the company will have his job posted online. Within a month, someone else will be sitting in his chair.
​But his family ,his children will still talk about him every day,they will ask where is daddy , His wife will mourn him for ages ,he was the love of her life .
​At work, we are just a "resource" that can be replaced in a week. At home, we are the world. Stop giving your best energy to a desk that will forget you, and giving the "leftovers" to the people who never will.

I watched this interview of a Nigerian politician with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera and all I can say is sorry to our Nigerian friends.

I know African politicians can be shameless, but Nigerian politicians seem to be beyond shameless.

I sincerely can’t imagine how they must feel watching that interview.

One thing that passengers need to understand is that pilots and cabin crew are also human beings with fear of death, too. No matter the sound you hear, if the pilot is unafraid to fly, then you should believe that there isn't much of a safety concern.

Airlines are more prone to refuse to fly if there is a technical problem, than otherwise. They don't want to lose aircraft. They don't want the huge compensation for assistance to families of aircraft accident victims on their conscience.

So.....when next you experience moments like this, before whipping out your camera, ask questions first. Had she asked, she'd have been educated.

Education is better than social media clicks.

If the helicopter wasn´t in the picture, you could think this was a leisure trip, as the folks are so calm. But no, it´s an actual accident, the Airbus H160 that ditched off Brazil past week (no one was hurt)

I boarded a flight from Amsterdam to Lagos. When I got to my seat an elderly woman was sitting there. I told her politely that she was sitting on my seat. She didn't move and didn't say a word. I called on one of the crew to please ask her to move to her seat.

The crew member asked for her ticket. She said she couldn't speak English but Yoruba. Some other passengers then told her in Yoruba to bring out her boarding pass. She did and it showed it wasn't her seat. It was mine. The woman still refused to leave saying that her allocated seat was between two men and she doesn't want to be between two men.

I told the crew member that I paid for the seat for my comfort and I need to have the seat. He pleaded with me to take the seat beside her and during the flight he will look for another seat for me. For the sake of peace and given the age of the woman, I agreed.

When the flight took off, the woman was now talking to me in Yoruba, saying "shebi Omo Yoruba ni e"....suggesting that I shouldn't have insisted on claiming the seat I paid for because we share same ethnicity. I told her in Yoruba, that the only reason I did so was because of her age not ethnicity.

As luck will have it, I hit it off with the white guy sitting beside me. He was travelling to Lagos to get married to his Nigerian Fiancée. So we talked, culture shock, business and entertainment. The woman kept looking at us and at one point interjected in perfect ENGLISH something along the lines of "So, you can be this friendly and you were stressing me to leave my seat".

Imagine my shock. Not only me, the women in the adjourning seats who had joined to plead with me to let it go. I asked her now very loudly "SO YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH....AND YOU WERE PRETENDING THAT YOU CAN ONLY SPEAK YORUBA?" I told her in Yoruba "Mummy oni oruko till Yoruba ma'npe ewa beyen...sugbon nitoripe mo je omooluwabi, I will restrain from saying it".

Throughout the flight, she kept trying to make conversations with me, asking me where I am from, telling me what she went to do abroad. I wasn't interested. The dishonesty was too much for me to overlook.

There is something about us that permits bad behaviour. It is regardless of age or ethnicity, status of even religion. We are simply accepting of bad behaviour and willing to rationalize it for the most silly reasons.

Yesterday I watched a podcast where Paul Onwuanibe (owner of Landmark Beach) shared a touching story.
During the period Landmark was being demolished, he stopped by to see a friend and spent about 15 minutes talking about his own struggles with the demolition. When he finished, his friend told him he had just lost his wife that morning and had called Paul to ask whether he should tell his children in Canada over the phone or travel to tell them in person. 💔
Life has a way of putting things in perspective. Sometimes your problem is the smallest in the room pick yourself up and keep moving.

Reporter like asked: why is Dangote Cement made in Nigeria but sold outside Nigeria cheaper than your cement sold in Nigeria?

Dangote: “When you look at my invoice, the cement I export is cheaper than the one I’m selling domestically, because that’s how exports work...In export I’m saving a lot of money. I’m not paying 30% income tax, I’m not paying 2% education, I’m not paying 1% health, I’m not paying 7.5% VAT, and I’m not paying 10% withholding tax.”

And he omitted bank fees. Practically, there is no way any human can avoid being charged fees by Nigerian banks. I understand most of those fees are statutory, which means banks have no other option. But when a big dude like Aliko looks at his bank account, he can see another 0.5% of mindless fees here and there on deductions.

Fellow Citizens: do you know that banks charge you about 0.5% for transferring your money from your USD dorm account to any part of the world? You may not notice until you behave like an accounting student. And when they charge that fee, they hit you with VAT on it, and at the end of the month, you see maintenance fee. It is truly unfortunate!

I know that some people are fixing these fees and taxes, I cannot wait to feel the impact https://t.co/nDAJmSVTxy

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
