The Federal govt has cut import duty on car imports from 15% to 5% is what the news said.
If they can grossly misrepresent something we can easily fact check, I wonder what else they are lying about.
Car prices are not coming down because the govt cut import duties.
Here are the facts.
If you have been sexually active in your relationship, and your girlfriend tells you that she wants you guys to stop the sex until marriage.
Please do not accept it.
Tell her that it's either the sex continues or the relationship is over.
Women love sex.
If she's no longer giving it to you, she's most likely giving it to someone else.
That's asides cheating as well.
Because single women cheat far more than single men.
End.

It was a profound honour to join fellow party members at the special affirmation ceremony of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections.
I am particularly humbled and deeply honoured by my ratification as the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the National Leader of the NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, and all other leaders for this bold and visionary decision. It clearly reflects the NDC’s unwavering commitment to national unity, democratic consolidation, and purposeful leadership as we prepare for the 2027 elections. - RMK
Just wrapped up a 4-part IFRS 9 ECL series with a focus on the modelling. Almost 4hrs in all but to follow through with the modeling you probably need at least 8hrs.
Part 1: A brief intro - Classification & Measurement (SPPI, business model assessment, EIR dynamics)
https://t.co/3bkR837xxD
Part 2: ECL framework + EAD Modelling (amortisation profiles, CCF, behavioural assumptions)
https://t.co/vcC7airsu7
Part 3: PD Modelling (Markov Chain, transition matrices, lifetime PD term structure)
https://t.co/7i6MDxjnNI
Part 4: LGD + Full ECL (recoveries, collateral projection etc)
https://t.co/4C3L89lss1
Some snippets 👇
Also used the opportunity to highlight advanced Excel functions like LET, LAMBDA, and SCAN. Worth exploring if you’re into complex modelling.
Of course, it’s almost impossible to cover everything within a limited time. I only just scratch the surface😎.

My manager asked how long it would take to fix the bug.
I said two weeks.
It took forty minutes.
But now I have two weeks of buffer.
That's called experience.
Here's how it works.
Every estimate I give has a multiplier. The multiplier depends on who's asking.
My manager asks: multiply by 4.
A VP asks: multiply by 6.
The CEO asks: multiply by 10 and add "dependencies."
Dependencies are other teams. Other teams are always slow. Even when they're not involved. Especially when they're not involved.
Nobody checks.
The bug took forty minutes. I fixed it Monday morning.
I didn't tell anyone until Thursday afternoon.
That's three days of buffer.
Buffer is protection. Protection from the next ask.
Because the moment you finish something fast, they ask for something else.
Finish the bug in an hour? Great, can you also look at this other thing?
Finish it in two weeks? Great, take the afternoon off. You earned it.
I earned it by lying about how long things take.
That's not how they'd describe it.
They'd call it "managing expectations."
I'm managing expectations.
My expectations are that I don't want to work that hard.
When I was junior, I gave honest estimates.
"That'll take about two hours."
My reward? Four more tasks that day.
Then I watched the senior engineers.
They said "end of week" for everything.
Everything was "end of week."
A config change? End of week.
A one-line fix? End of week.
A meeting that could've been an email? End of week.
They were never stressed.
I was always stressed.
I learned.
Now I'm senior. Now everything is "end of week."
Or "end of sprint."
Sprint is two weeks. Two weeks is forever. Forever is comfortable.
Sometimes someone pushes back.
"Can we do it faster? This is urgent."
I pause. I look concerned.
"Let me see what I can do."
Then I deliver in three days instead of two weeks.
I'm a hero.
I wasn't faster. I was honest about the original timeline.
But the compression makes me look dedicated.
"He really hustled on this one."
I didn't hustle. I just stopped lying for a moment.
Strategic honesty. Delivered at the right time. After enough fake delays.
The best part is nobody tracks this.
Nobody says, "He estimated two weeks but finished in forty minutes."
They say, "He finished ahead of schedule."
Ahead of schedule.
I set the schedule.
I beat the schedule I invented.
That's exceeding expectations.
I'm exceeding expectations.
My performance review says I'm "highly reliable" and "consistently delivers."
I am reliable.
I reliably estimate 10x what things take.
And I consistently deliver.
Right before my fake deadline.
That's called being senior.
New engineers burn out because they're honest.
I padded my way to work-life balance.
My manager asked why I always seem so calm.
I said, "Experience."
Experience means I've learned to lie about time.
Professionally.
With a straight face.
And a buffer that could fit a vacation.
That's engineering.
'If it is yours, it will find you' is a dangerous lie.
Opportunity is not a loyal dog that comes home.
It is a passing train.
If you are not on the platform, it will not stop for you.
📌 Opportunity ignores silent doors.
It goes to those with their hands raised, not those with their arms folded.
You must be in position and make your interest known.
Register your ambitions.
📌 If it is yours, it can be stolen and never returned.
That wallet you lost,
Was it not yours?
That phone that got stolen,
Was it not yours?
Blessings are not permanent.
If you don't nurture and protect them, they can vanish and never return.
📌 If it is yours, you can be cheated out of it, and it can be handed off to another.
If you have zero boundaries, if you are too soft, if you don't value yourself, people will cheat you out of opportunities and hand them to someone more assertive.
What is truly yours is what you are willing to work for, fight for, and recover if lost.
Faith without works is just wishful thinking.
Go be fantastic today.
Waiting until you know how to do something exactly right is a poor strategy. You could be waiting forever.
It’s far better to jump in, make mistakes, and see what kind of progress you can make.
Will it be a little embarrassing at first? Yes.
Will you figure it out as you go? Also yes.
Abeg, help me share my event 🙏🏽
Abeg, come for my event too.
Come and have fun.
Come and snap fine pictures.
Come and meet people stop forming introvert 😌
Come and dance.
Come and eat.
Come and see plenty lights ✨

My brother in the UK found out that he was not the biological father of his wife's child and she accused him of rape where there was consent for sex but no consent for ejaculation and got him arrested.
This is the wild story.
Apologies for the length.
