Found a fun way to generate QR codes that don’t look like QR codes.
- Enter a URL and it grows a 3D tree from the code itself
- The ground grid is the actual scannable QR
- Switch between Spring, Summer, and Autumn looks
- Runs fully in the browser, nothing uploaded
- Tap the tree to flatten it and scan

How to win an argument unethically:
1. Pick a single part of the other's argument & attack it.
Ie. Your girlfriend is accusing you of cheating with Anita several times. Focus on the several times, tell her she is lying: "it was only one time". Hold it there. Don't budge.
You can't fight it. We were literally designed to be that way. Check every country where border lines wey drawn outside of cultural relations and you would see the same. In fact our is still better because our major caste system is by money and not tribe. tribe comes after.
As someone who isn’t from the three major tribes in Nigeria. It is actually quite annoying to tell you my tribe and you go “eh you’re technically xxx” please shut up
I wanted to process and obtain a birth certificate for my child. I went to NPC office. The moment I parked outside, a man sitting among the people outside accosted me. I do not know whether he works there or he's a tout looking for a quick fix.
He asked me what I wanted, I told him. "Shey you know that the normal fee is 25k. Anything you now want to add to it for us".
I didn't have any problem with paying, but I did a quick search on my phone and saw clearly that issuance of birth certificates is free. I told him that I would not pay 25k and I also won't add anything.
I called one of the numbers on the website and while I was waiting to be attended to, one of the messages being played to my ears is that obtaining birth certificate is free and that I should not pay anything to anyone.
A woman picked my call. She was very helpful and polite. She made me realise that I could actually do it online.
I commenced the process and realised that the child needed to get NIN. Searches showed that we could not do that from our home. We went searching for a centre and saw one. A NIN was obtained. It was paid for.
I returned online to continue what I started. On the same website that said obtaining a birth certificate is free, I was asked to pay a little above #5,000 to proceed. I didn't mind. After all, that would have a receipt and get to the government.
After my payment, the next stage required me to enter the certificate number on my own birth certificate. Mine was issued in 1996, almost a decade after my birth. I drew it out and entered the certificate number on it. It didn't work. I tried again. It still didn't work. I started inputting other numbers on the certificate, none worked.
I took a pause and did some searches. I realised that my certificate was of the "old school" era and I would need to apply for a reissuance, which comes with a certificate number that the modern system recognises. Okay.
I proceeded. I was asked to pay a little above #3,000. I did. I was asked to input my NIN, I did. Then I was asked to take a picture. The process took more than 40 minutes for me to get a picture approved by the system. What it eventually picked as useful was my tired and frustrated face. Guess what? In the same process, I got to another stage that required me to take another live photo and update. The stress started again. I got one that the system accepted after 14 trials. Of course, I had a picture in the database over a decade ago, and I consider the repeated requirement superfluous.
After that, I underwent another long and tedious process of typing in details of my parents. For a second, it felt like I was the child who never had a birth certificate. When I was done, I got a message telling me that I'd have to wait for the reissuance because the system has a lot of requests to process.
Essentially, I had to drop the processing of my child's birth certificate and face the reissuance of mine (which was neither lost nor destroyed), because without it, I could not process my child's.
Why does an entity echo and re-echo free birth certificate on its call lines and website, while doing the exact opposite? This is not about the money. It is about a citizen's right to accurate information from his government and its appendages.
Why is a birth certificate suddenly "invalid" because it was issued before the introduction of whatever? If another government introduces another platform, do I get to do this again? And why am I paying for a reissuance? I did not misplace or destroy it.
Why do we have to enter every damn detail about us and upload our photo everytime, even on platforms that already collected those data, times without number in the past?
When my birth certificate is reissued (if it is ever reissued), only Christ knows what I will go through when I return to the tiring site to continue the process for my child's.
Been staying at this hotel, I was in room 21 but a couple hours ago the staff asked me to move to room 42. “Sure” I say, “what’s the reason?”
I shit you not, they told me an infinitely large bus with infinite people just pulled up and they all need a room
Actually this is a “class action” I can get behind on my own dime. I’ll have a team do some preliminary research and if we decide to pursue, I’ll give an update. We need more public interest litigation.
I think its Yahoo boys that's making some of you clowns
You are a security man
You see me 10 times, you beg and hail me 10 times
You sell shoes 85k I can get on Temu for 50k with free delivery
You open a restaurant and use plastic takeaway to sell one plate of Egusi soup for 18k.
Just because Yahoo boys are tipping you everytime you hail them or because Yahoo boys are buying 5$ Chinese sneakers for 85k or because Yahoo boys mostly do not have taste and will accept 18k soup in a black SUP plastic takeaway
That does not mean we are all Yahoo boys
I am not giving you shishi unless you earn it. If you like hail me 1 million times
I will buy my cheap Chinese shoes on Temu and I will not accept an SUP for an 18k soup
Whats the definition of a genotype in your own language.

API meant Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient,
OTC meant Over The Counter medications
