@Osarogieee Good health, safe deliveries, schooling, good jobs, etc, are often testimonies. Of course, you have to deal with ancestral deities, highway demons, kidnappers, and every nasty entity out there. For a corrupt Nation without a dream/goal, prayer seems to be the only way. Amen.

Been one year since I made this monologue, and it’s recently started going viral again. I’m truly grateful for my time in broadcasting and every opportunity to lend my voice. ❤️

They Don’t Need Your Messages to Know Everything.

End-to-end encryption makes people feel safe. Apps like Signal and WhatsApp let you lock your chats, but encryption only protects what you say in your messages. Metadata, which is information about your messages, still shows a lot: who you talk to, when, how often, for how long, from where, and on what device. This information can tell more about you than the message itself, and it usually has less legal protection.

Former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden once said, "We kill people based on metadata." He later explained that metadata by itself does not trigger strikes, but it helps guide targeting in foreign intelligence work. This distinction is important, but the main point remains: metadata is powerful enough to map out lives, networks, and behavior without reading any messages.

Analysts use metadata to make maps that show how people or devices are connected. Patterns show up quickly, like talking often, being in the same place, or having similar timing. This is how criminal networks are found, activist groups are spotted, and journalistic sources are discovered. No messages are needed, just the patterns.

After 9/11, the NSA collected huge amounts of phone metadata under Section 215. Snowden’s leaks showed that tools like XKeyscore were used to search this data and make maps of connections. In the United States, metadata is still used in investigations, with cell tower dumps, call records, and location matching being common methods.

Governments are not the only ones doing this. Companies also study metadata on a large scale. Social media platforms figure out relationships from likes, follows, and timing. Advertising networks build hidden profiles. Attackers use metadata to plan targeted scams and pretend to be someone else. While your messages may stay encrypted, the context does not.

Anonymity can disappear quickly. A well-known 2013 study in Nature found that just four pieces of location and time data could single out about 95% of people in a large group. If you add how often things happen, it becomes almost certain. Encryption cannot stop this kind of matching.

With modern machine learning, metadata is no longer just a record; it can now guess what will happen next. For example, sudden increases in communication can show that meetings, movements, or unrest are about to happen. Watching people is moving from reacting to events to predicting them.

Encryption is important, but it is not enough. In 2026, privacy is not lost because of leaks, but because different pieces of data are put together. It is not your words that reveal you, but the patterns you create.

@spirituality751 @WhatsApp Let me state the obvious "there's no such thing as privacy."

Mellifluous. Hmmm..😊, that's soft rock after dawn, silence, quiet, your voice, the sound of a fresh PC booting, kettle whistling, spinning fans, your voice, sound of our feet, westlife greatest hits, a prayer, and a gentle soft snore. Let your mind run.

@MTNNG I bought 1.5TB December last year and now half of it is going to waste this December. Your poor network has cost me a lot. Would you extend the deadline so I can use the data I bought with my own money?

Chad IDE (@cladlabs) is the brainrot code editor.

AI coding takes 1–5 min between prompts—too long to ignore, too short to start something new. 

Chad integrates your brainrot (X, IG, Stake, Tinder, etc) into your agentic coding workflow and helps to manage your context-switching.

Less doom-scrolling. More shipping.

It's so easy to get started with Elixir. What's most interesting is that it gives you a new way to think about code. There's no for/while loop, data is immutable and the pattern matching is exquisite. You can even do pattern matching with functions. @elixirlang

Yesterday, I listened to the author of "ruby on rails" talk about ruby. It was fantastic. My moment was Laravel. From documentation to naming, to ease of use, Laravel is a joy!. Thank you guys. @taylorotwell @ThePrimeagen @dhh

@theladyjane_ The interpretation of "the customer is always right in matters of taste" has always been tricky because many people think the sentence ended at "always right".
