Today, on Airpeace flight P47190, 6:40 AM flight enroute to Port Harcourt from Lagos, we escaped what would have been a fatal plane crash.
We couldn’t land in Port Harcourt, we are back to Lagos.
This is this most horrific flight experience I have had in my years of flying.
I have cried twice already. Once I am stable, I will write about what happened.
Dear Lord, thanks for another chance to live.

I was seeking advice on how to approach the development of a product that I’m currently working on for a reasonably big client, so I reached out to the CTO of one of our biggest Fintechs. He saw my Figma designs and suggested to skip Figma and use AI to build it.
I didn’t take the advice because it didn’t seem right at that time (5 months ago). I’m glad I didn’t.
Today though, I would take that advice. So 5 months later and the role of humans in the development process has shrunk pretty significantly. In 2 years, I wonder where we will be.
As of right now, the main reasons I may not bet against humans still playing some kind of role in development processes are: the associated cost of compute and our need for someone to hold accountable. It seems to me like these may be the only limiting factors.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@UEFA UEFA virtue signaling its "values" by importing an alleged terrorist connected foreign referee to replace a European is peak irony. The continent is really screwed when even people who run football are more interested in Leftist politics than the well-being of Europe.
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.
Childhood 🙌🏼
They really took road trips away from us in Nigeria, as a child i enjoyed road trips to the east, they were fun and i looked forward to it and this government stole that from us.
I’ve watched this episode of the All-In podcast twice now. It’s a fascinating conversation between Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who I’m a huge fan of, and Professor John Mearsheimer, who I’ve come to respect, about U.S. foreign policy w.r.t China, Russia, and the Middle East.
If this is the sort of conversation that bakes your potatoes, you might want to check it out here.

If you’d like to understand the current state of the wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, Tucker Carlson’s latest podcast with Prof. John Mearsheimer is a great place to start. Fantastic interview!
