I’m trying to fend off your admiration for me, you see, in order to save myself from your future contempt.

I recently just realized that the concluding part of Ayinde Barrister’s Agbara Iku medley is a song about the 1851 British bombardment of Lagos. An unforgettable event that shaped colonial engagement in Nigeria.

@AfroVII There is a FIFA stipulation for the academy to get paid a training compensation and they will continue to get a cut of every 5% of future transfers until he retires. It’s a sweet arrangement.

Politicians in China do not have ideological differences and they have development.

End poverty is the only ideology that we need.

[Moe @Mochievous]

Until Nigeria begins to have issue-based politics, we won’t make it out of the hood. Fact

Pick a random elected govt official and you cannot even tell what their ideology is. What do they believe in? what are they against? It is just vibes & you can’t run a country on vibes.

Horse racing events, marathon majors, boat show, tennis, football, Rugby T14, Monaco F1 (but avoid the rest of F1).

Ticket flipping might be such a profitable venture cos I still can’t believe how much I sold my UCL final tickets. Damn

They’ve collected blueprint on how to “safeguard” Kano votes. BRF - the OG Jorginho.

It was such a pleasure to pay homage to @tundefashola Babatunde Raji Fashola CON SAN, one of our finest mind, astute technocrate, distinguished administrator and vastly experienced. Thank you for opening your doors for us to continue to tap from your reservoir of knowledge..

He’s going to be a Barça legend. The intelligentsia always succeeds at FCB. In two years, he’s going to be up at 2am discussing Soviet Stavka counter-offensive strategy and Peru fourth division with Pep, Estiarte, Pique’s dad, Sala Martin, and Xavi.

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

I told you guys about a Gordon interview I watched about a year or two years ago.

He’s a very brilliant guy. He said he reads lots of books.

Once you see people who spend bulk of their time reading books to uplift themselves, you need to respect it.

[Fortunato @MainTheory]

Twitter had 180 character limit for a very long time. The guys who got to the Reddit user data first, have the best “frontier models” today.

[Mark Essien @markessien]

It's a bit strange that owning the entire, proprietary, twitter dataset did not help Elon Musk build a better LLM.

Progressive people in a progressive city elected a progressive mayor and here is the reward.
Cheapest ticket with toilet access and same benefits at the World Cup fan fest in Atlanta is $255.
Continue to allow tech bros brainwash you with pseudo-capitalism & targeted hate.

From June 11 to July 19, New Yorkers can eat, drink, and celebrate the World Cup for just $26 at restaurants across all five boroughs.

From Little Senegal in Harlem to Little Odessa in Brooklyn, our city’s diversity is our greatest strength, and now it’s on the menu.

Be part of the excitement, support small businesses, and eat up all this city has to offer: https://t.co/xSEKmHvt5x

Look at them. They want to know how water entered coconut.

Where did Barca get 70m from? 😅

[Fortunato @MainTheory]

Everyone involved in this transfer needs to provide two witnesses and four sureties each before we allow them continue their jobs at barça. I wish him well.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💣 BREAKING: Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, here we go! Official bid accepted now by Newcastle board and Saudi owners.

€70m fixed fee plus add-ons to bring final package over €80m for #NUFC.

Gordon set to travel this week for medical and contract signing at FCB. 🔵🔴✈️

[Fortunato @MainTheory]

I have a feeling that sponsors like Nike and advertisers pressured Ancelotti into selecting him.

We need to do away with this military era mentality of government sponsoring things. Nigeria has a chess federation and they had one year to work on private sponsorship for those kids but here we are. We must organize ourselves better as a society.

[Ewgi @Ssaasquatch]

@dondekojo and I had a $100 bet on Arsenal vs Man City winning the league.

He won yesterday and, instead of taking the money, asked me to direct it to a better cause, which I’m now very grateful to be part of.

There are a few talented Nigerian kids set to represent the country at an international chess tournament being hosted in Nigeria for the first time, but some of them can’t afford the €180 registration fee.

I’ve just donated $500 to cover two participants, and still can’t for the life of me believe that a 2000-rated FIDE player almost missed out on this opportunity because of registration fees.

It’s honestly embarrassing cos you’d expect something like registration fees for kids representing the country to be covered by a government body, federation, or something idk

If you can support one child, two children, or even contribute whatever you can, please do.

Sometimes the difference between a gifted child competing on the world stage and watching from home is just a few people like you reading this deciding to care.

Abeg support these guys however you can.

[Fortunato @MainTheory]

These days, kids playing football on a dusty pitch in Nigeria or on a fallow rice field in Taiwan are trying to pass it out from the back - you know what it is. That’s Guardiola’s football. His greatest contribution to the game. The reason he is the GOAT.

“Politics is more difficult than physics” is a direct quote by Albert Einstein (a real physicist).

Politics is tougher than physics and power is never served a LA carte!

[Fortunato @MainTheory]

Because it’s a significant real estate transaction and newsworthy???

I’m disappointed the Nigerian Navy still doesn’t have a ship named NNS Mami Watta.

Google will win the "AI race". They have the best training data. OpenAI is only new and shiny for now.
