A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
Bookmark it for later
I attended my neighbour’s 50th birthday yesterday. She’s a widow with two children. Her husband died about 10 years ago, and she has been raising them with support from her family.
It wasn’t a big party, just a few old school mates attended the party.
But something happened that stayed with me.
During her vote of thanks, she mentioned my name. My heart skipped.
She said, “I also want to appreciate Mr. David. Every night he puts on his generator because of the erratic NEPA light, he gives us power. My daughter used that light to read for her JAMB.”
Then she added, “She scored 303. Now she can study Medicine and Surgery at UI.”
I was shocked.
A small act I didn’t think much of meant so much to someone else.
That moment, I made a quiet decision to keep doing good whenever I can.
Because sometimes, the little things are not little at all.
She picked the right story for the delivery of a good message, which helped me connect it to real life!
Please watch and listen I promise it's not a waste of time.
The big problem in leadership is many want to remain the main player when they should be coaching. The emphasis is to model and then give others freedom and space to innovate. You are now competing with those you should be encouraging.
Your main job is to train more players through modeling and instructing so many more skillful players get churned out.
Remember when Pastor E.A. Adeboye said he would never have a female secretary/PA be alone with a woman who isn’t his wife? He was heavily dragged online for that statement. Many young people insulted him, calling him old-fashioned or extreme, without realizing that he was speaking from a place of wisdom, experience, and responsibility.
Interestingly, this is Jason Derulo a secular artist, not even a Christian, expressing the exact same sentiment after the accusations he faced. He said he would never again be alone in a room with a woman because of how easily a situation can be twisted and how devastating the consequences can be. And even after his case was dismissed, the dismissal didn’t trend nearly as much as the initial accusation that damaged his name.
I’m not defending Jason Derulo, I don’t know anything about his personal life. It’s simply an observation: some truths are universal.
Like it or not, some principles that elders teach aren’t about religiosity; they are about wisdom, protection, and foresight. And sometimes it takes seeing the same pattern repeat in the life of a completely different person before we realize those truths were never outdated.
OLUBUNMI OJO: WHEN COMPETENCE JUSTIFIES OPPORTUNITY
By Otunba Segun Showunmi
I have read the writer’s reflections on our recent visit to the Honourable @MinOfInteriorNG, @BTOofficial, and I must say: every word resonates deeply with my own impressions. In fact, I feel compelled to add my voice not merely to agree, but to affirm, with the weight of experience, that what we saw that day was not accidental. It was the unmistakable signature of a man who understands the responsibilities of public office and is determined to meet them with courage, innovation, and discipline.
The meeting was not premeditated. It was not staged. It was not a political courtesy call arranged for optics. It was simply one of those encounters that reveal the true measure of a leader. And what we encountered in Olubunmi Ojo was clarity of purpose, passion for reform, and a refusal to accept the institutional mediocrity that had plagued the ministry for years.
Let me state this clearly: the writer is right.
This is not the Ministry of Interior of old.
This is not the era of bureaucratic congestion or administrative chaos.
There is a new energy here cleaner, sharper, more deliberate.
From the moment we walked in, the tone was different. Ojo received us warmly, without the unnecessary stiffness that often accompanies government offices. But courtesy was the least of what he offered. His mind was the real revelation.
As he spoke, I saw a public servant who has internalised one of the most profound truths of leadership: impact outlives identity. When he said, “We remember Shakespeare and Alexander the Great not for their faces but for what they did,” I understood the driving philosophy behind the reforms he has championed.
The writer highlighted one of these reforms the consolidation of Nigeria’s passport system and he is absolutely correct. For years, the passport regime represented the very worst of our inefficiencies: duplication, abuse, exploitation, and reputational damage. How does a country justify ninety-six processing centres? How do we defend two contradictory passport regimes? It was chaos, and it was embarrassing.
But Ojo confronted that chaos.
He simplified the system.
He unified the process.
He restored order.
And he did it with a level of decisiveness that gives me hope for our wider administrative future.
The fact that the new central processing centre was built at zero cost to government speaks not only to prudence but to genuine creativity in governance something our nation desperately needs.
And when he spoke about technology-driven homeland security and the transparency of the current recruitment exercise, I saw a man who is not only reforming an institution but redefining what public service should mean in Nigeria.
Some say he is there because of his relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
My response is simple: even if favour opened the door, merit is doing the work.
One must learn to recognise excellence when one sees it.
This is excellence.
This is serious-minded reform.
This is public service that answers to conscience, not convenience.
In my years of observing and working around leaders, I have come to know the difference between performance and performance-for-show. Olubunmi Ojo is not acting. He is working. The difference is stark.
So I stand with the writer.
I affirm his observations.
I echo his conclusion.
Olubunmi Ojo deserves commendation real, enduring, and unreserved commendation.
His work is not illusory. It is not political theatre.
It is tangible, measurable, and profoundly consequential.
If this is what the future of public service looks like, then Nigeria still has a fighting chance.

The Alternative
IF YOU ARE RELOCATING…!
PLEASE, I AM NOT TALKING TO EVERYBODY BUT TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL BACKSLIDING MEANS…!
If you are Relocating to Europe or America:
Make Sure your Fire is Burning very Well on Your Altar.
Lest the Fire dies off in no time and you become a Carcass of your Spiritual Self.
Make Sure your Spirit is well connected to the Power of the Holy Ghost.
Lest you no Longer find reasons to follow Him whom you have vowed to follow all the days of your Life.
I have seen Men and Women who relocated to Europe and America, who are still burning with the fire of the Holy Ghost,
Setting unrighteous and ungodly trashes and and garbages around them on Fire.
Influencing multitudes and building Godliness.
THEY RELOCATED WITH THE FIRE OF GOD BURNING ON RHEIR ALTAR AND WHILE THERE,
They had kept the Fire Burning fiercely.
Their Relocation is Heaven’s Gains!
But I have seen people who were fervent and focused in Nigeria, but few Weeks after Relocating, became dis-focused and distracted and unpowered.
THE FIRE THEY CARRIED IN THEIR RELOCATION WAS TOO SMALL TO WITHSTAND THE RAGING FLAMES OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS AND UNGODLINESS RAVAGING THE LAND OF EUROPE AND WESTERN WORLD NOW.
We know Africa is viciously Corrupt and it is Cancerous!
We know many African political leaders are heartless and mercilessly corrupt and have impoverished the helpless Masses!
Yes, we know. And we are still sanely crying for a change.
BUT THIS CAN STILL NOT STAND BY THE RAVAGING SENSELESS IMMORALITY AND UNGODLY SOCIETAL MADNESS OF MANY WESTERN WORLD.
Of recent, I saw a video online,
Where multitudes of Males and Females trooped on the streets of a City….IN COMPLETE NUDE,…riding bicycles, motorcycles and walking on feet in excitement as they March in pure daylight in absolute Nudity…No Clothes.
The BREAKING NEWS of the first ever SEX SPORT just broke out.
Sweden is holding International Sex Competition and many countries applied to take part in the Sport.
It is in the Western World that the text books of Children are been rewritten to teach them another meaning of Family: they say in the Children school books that family could be: Man and Man, Woman and Woman; Man + Man+ Adopted child
Go to the YouTube and you will find the first ever AI Artificial Womb where Artificial Generated Babies are invented and developed. And the Artificial Womb Lab is being ready to produce 30,000 babies per year, probably for Sales.
I was in a US International Airport and I saw that the Toilets have been classified into Three now: Male Toilet, Female Toilet and All Genders- which is meant for those who are neither Male nor Female, the men who are becoming women and the Women who are transforming to Men.
If a man enters a female toilet, he can say he is a lady under transformation. And you can not do anything about it….
Where a 10 year old Child is calling Police to arrest his parents for discipline or correcting him…
Where some teachers are teaching the children how to use condoms and the benefit of choosing who you want to be…either male or female….and your parents must not interfere in your choice.
Where a child at 18 is free to depart from your house and be living alone and you would have no right to interfere in her life again unless she choose to stay with the parents, and the parents must be careful hold they talk to her or control her if they don’t want to lose her to the society.
Many More things to say but time will fail me….
IF YOU ARE RELOCATING,
To Europe, America or the Western World in general.
MAKE SURE YOUR FIRE IS BURNING VIOLENTLY ON THE ALTAR OF YOUR SOUL,
Lest the Raging Corrupt and Immoral Fire of the Society quench your own Fire and substitute it with their own Raging Immoral fire.

@gtbank_help Hi @gtbank_help, I transferred some money from my Vulte to Gt since yesterday but I am yet to receive it in my GT app till today, that is more than 24hrs, please where did the money go?
@Row_Haastrup@d_ocheido Like I always say, the spiritual controls the physical, I won’t say because someone is not doing his part and won’t pray or take it to the Father like Deborah has done. Welldone daughter of Zion may He continue to manifest bodily in your life in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
@Row_Haastrup@d_ocheido I am just reading this now and that was what was going on in my head. And I’m like if not for a country that is not working, why will a professor not make his correction quickly and you have to start praying for that but you know the Holyspirit can never be wrong.
