Countdown to 60.
We started primary 1 and 2 in the open air under the “Fruit” tree and marched to the Dispensary at noon for protein powder.
In between, we dived into Nigerian Army garbage bins for left over bread and sardines.
My generation of Igbos went
from here to there
What is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo is evil, and it is sad that African voices are quiet when their own people are dying like this, yet they make noise about conflicts away from the continent.
Is African life less important than any other, is the death of a black person insignificant?
Are you ashamed of speaking for your own people, only to suddenly find your voice when bad things happen elsewhere away from the continent?
History will never respect Africans for allowing this to happen on their watch, especially those with voices who would rather be seen writing about conflicts elsewhere!
Pls stop quoting your old relationship tweets with weird things when you break up

Twitter tech drama recap:
1) Dudes got into YC and everyone got so jealous to say forking open source is illegal.
2) An indie hacker started a war after not being feature by Product Hunt. I made an acquisition/partner offer to PH. If rejected, I’ll launch my own.
3) DHH said vercel is just a wrapper on top of aws with 500% markup. He is wrong.
4) Wordpress and WP engine had a family fight but now seem like back together again. It turns out wp run 40% of the web.
5) Sam Altman keeps replacing his cofounders with AI one every few months to end up being one-man billion dollar company just as he predicted.
6) PH CTO doesn’t know who is Pieter Levels, so their meme lord resigns. Buut, it turns to be a great marketing trick to promote his meme saas. Genius.
7) Notion steals nose pics of Kepano(obsidian founder).
8) Elon and his mom spent a week convincing people on X that he isn’t dating Italian PM. Hmm.
9) MKBHD launched an ugly wallpaper app, sparking the meme “the one guy go lectures everyone on a thing but scores F at it”.
10) an employee of gumroad joins buildinpublic with a side project but his employer quickly finds out and asks wtf.

I got here in 2012 but cos I was a pastor, I kept giving excuses for the Bible's blatant inconsistencies & errors. Over time, I couldn't ignore them anymore. I know how scary it was, but I was determined to go where the evidence led. A year later, I resigned & left church.
