“We are not into ill£gal m!ning. The Niger State Civil Defence Corps don’t have the right to shøøt at us. We are under 18. Heat cannot k!ll a gold miner.”
– A young man who claimed to be a witness recounts his experience following the de@ths of miners in NSCDC custody in Niger State.
There is no overt tribalism at the top: politics, business etc name it, the elite link up regardless of tribe, clink glasses filled with crystal and make merry.
Overt tribalism is for dogs & guttersnipes at the bottom, their foot soldiers.
The thing about fighting for Nigerians or even for your rights in Nigeria,is that the average Nigerian can’t wait for you to fail, be crushed or get tired so they can sleep easy & tell themselves “she’s just like me, she gave up. So I’m right not to fight or support any fight”
Have you ever had a close relationship with someone then all of a sudden something just clicks and you realize just how unkind they have been to you in vulnerable moments and you have the epiphany of epiphanies that this person truly doesn’t like you? And now you just can’t unsee it.
If I had money, I'll buy this company, move all the people that working it to a bunker they'll never find for the next 10 years.
Press it, press am. 😂😭😭
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
I was on call in a private hospital when one of my nurses developed abdominal pains.
I ran around despite resistance from the hospital's admin to ensure she got an Ultrasound (they wanted her to pay first!).
Results showed Acute Appendicitis. This private hospital refused to book her in for urgent surgery until she made a deposit of 750K (Ps-She works here and her salary is less than 180K).
We mobilized her and sent her with another nurse to a government hospital. She went to 4 different government hospitals and 'No bed space' was all they said and turned them back (not even minding she was a nurse!).
I had to ask them to bring her back to the private hospital where she finally had the surgery after myself and 3 other nurses including the patient signed to have deductions from our salaries till the debt was paid.
She had a ruptured appendix when we finally went in which changed the surgery from a simple appendectomy to an Ex-Lap. 750k became 1.6M and we had to pay it for 5 months till it was completed. She is fine now but just putting this out here.
