When Tinubu’s reign is done, hopefully soon, you will all be thankful to God for his service. BECAUSE of Tinubu, moral ambiguities have been vaporized and the capacity for hypocritical posturing has been forever lost. History SEES where we stand..😊

Someone posted this and said, “Time don reach to fence Ibadan, see wetin dem dey do.” 😅😅

Okay, let’s discuss this.😎😎

What if I told you it takes atleast knowledge from five fields to arrive at this design?

I know you almost whispered “wetin be that” Oya let’s discuss 😅

1. Thermodynamics

Did you notice that they put sacks between the drums?

Yes, those sacks act as controlled insulation.

If everything was fully enclosed in metal, aeration drops, heat distribution suffers, and the corn overcooks.

2. Chemistry of Water

You see that the corn is stacked vertically above the pot, not submerged inside water.

They understand that steam, not just liquid water, can do the cooking.

That is an excellent knowledge of change of state.

3. Biochemistry of the Corn

How do they know the exact height to stack? 20 layers. 59 layers or 30 layers?

That is what experience has taught them.

You see, corn don’t cook easily because they have cellulosic membranes.

Guess what they did, they kept the green husk, which traps moisture and ensures even cooking.

Excellent science again 👏👏

4. Sustainability

One setup replaces multiple pots, multiple fires, and excess water.

It saves space, fuel, labour, and time.

5. Efficiency

Instead of ten people managing ten fires, one person can run the entire operation.

Now tell me, is this not beautiful science?

But because it doesn’t have LED lights or machine‑learning jargon, people call it “archaic.” 😅

Anyway, let me stop here, Bible study and prayer time. Later 😅🥂

After 18 years, it’s time to say goodbye to Chelsea. I arrived as a nine-year-old with a dream, and I leave as a man who’s lived that dream in ways I never imagined. This journey tested me, lifted me, and strengthened me. To every teammate, coach, staff member, and supporter, thank you for shaping me. I gave everything I had, and I’m proud of the person this club helped me become. To the young players: the path won’t always be smooth. But stay ready, stay positive, and keep your faith. God’s timing is always right. Thank you all, truly, with love and gratitude.

[Collingwood 🇬🇧 @admcollingwood]

This is sort of funny, and Brazil have definitely got worse, but it misdiagnoses the problem. In fact, this is a story of what has happened to society and with our economies, and the ideology of our ruling elites.

The first point to accept is that *all* football nations have lost their particular style: there has been a flattening of the way in which teams play. I first started watching football as a very young boy in the late eighties, and through until the early 2000s, most of the big nations maintained a distinct way of playing. The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Brazil and England all spring to mind. But two things have happened -- the first connected to the latter.

First, the Champions League (and later the Europa League) means that the best teams in Europe play each other almost every week during the season. That provides a consistently present interface for an accelerated exchange of ideas, formations, and tactics. But it also acts as a kind of gain of function research for football: there is now an extremely rapid cycle of tactical, transfer policy/player selection, and fitness innovation, response and counter response. The football OODA loop has never been tighter.

Second, and connected to this, there has been an extreme version of the Pareto Principle income inequality that has happened among western societies as a whole. Wealth, partly due to the Champions League, and partly due to the Premier League, has accrued to a smaller and smaller number of teams, even as the size of the pie, due to the massive increase in TV revenue in Europe, has expanded beyond all recognition. This means that all the best players in the world end up in the same handful of clubs. We can name them: Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Furthermore, with the advent of global scouting networks and post-Moneyball databases, this means the best players from anywhere in the world, often at young ages. Remember when an unknown player would have a great World Cup and find himself playing for, say, Tottenham or Monaco or wherever? Those days are gone. We know about every player in the most minute detail. There is no mystery. The good players are already in Europe.

The first time I noticed this process of wealth accumulation was with the great Ajax team of 1995. I was only just a teenager, and that team was like a revelation for me in terms of the way football could be played. All of them (bar Danny Blind and Frank Rijkaard, who were an earlier generation) came up through the Ajax academy system and blossomed at the same time. They played in the Ajax/Dutch style (4-3-3, with two wingers that stayed very wide, and a centre back pushing into midfield when they had the ball, holding possession playing in the opponent's final third). But within two seasons, the entire team was broken up: Davids, Seedorf, Klijvert, Ovremars, Rijzeger, Kanu, Litmanen, even Van Gaal, the young manager -- they'd all gone to richer clubs elsewhere. In the 1960s or 70s, they'd have stayed together and won multiple European trophies. In England, we saw a similar thing with Southampton. Newcastle are suffering the same now.

All this means that players don't stay in their home environments and countries, with their clubs, and the process of mimesis breaks down. Add that to the first point, related to the way intra-European football forces a flattening through various mechanisms, and you have what we see now.

A couple of World Cups ago, the Netherlands played a 3-5-2, to my absolute horror. The Netherlands playing without proper wingers! Now we have a Brazilian team that has two Arsenal players, two Man U players, one Newcastle player -- even a Bournemouth player, for goodness sake. And they'll all have had the majority of their careers outside Brazil. Some will have left when they were 15 or 16, scouted by Shaktar Donetsk (famous for bringing in young Brazilian players) or Real Madrid. Why are we therefore surprised that they play like any other European team?

The Netherlands style lives on -- but through Barcelona and therefore the Spain national team (via Cruyff, and thence Guardiola), not in the Netherlands national team. But the Brazil style (a languid slow, slow, slow, punctuated by sudden bursts of incredible skill, raking passes, speed, and crackerjack long shots) is dead. When better Brazilian players emerge in future, and maybe they return to winning World Cups, they'll do so as Europeans would, not Brazilians. The German and Italian styles are also dead. The English style is also pretty much dead, although that was an evolutionary dead end in terms of International Football, so we do not lament it.

This, rather than boozing or religion, is the reason for what we see with the Brazil national team. I find it deeply sad. But no doubt the neoliberal progressives who run our countries will view it as a great success.

⚡️ Haaland is the purest specialist football has ever produced.

He deleted everything from his game.

The dribbling, the buildup, the flourish.

All of it liquidated and reinvested into a single function: ending attacks.

A goal per game at Salzburg. At Dortmund. At City. For Norway. Four systems, three countries, zero adaptation lag. Fastest to 50 Champions League goals in history. Now a goal in 14 straight competitive internationals.

The secret is that his finishing happens before the shot exists. The run is timed to the defender’s blind side. The body is open before the ball arrives. The first touch is the shot. Defenders mark where he is. He was never there.

Everyone else plays the moment.

Haaland plays a half second in the future, and in that half second he is completely alone.

[Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria @DeleFarotimi]

You have a right to be foolish, I wouldn’t judge you for that. I have been foolish long enough to learn not to condemn the fool. But you have no right to be evil, and to support a continuation of Nigeria in its current form, is to be complicit in the evil that it is..

[Onyeka ☭ @R_eq_uin]

This is why I get annoyed with people who think dividing Nigeria into ethno states is the solution to our problems.

As if the Fulani, with centuries old beef with the Berom, will suddenly start holding hands and dancing in a circle when they get Beromville and Fulanistan.

As if the dozens of small tribes in the oil rich Niger delta will suddenly develop a burning love for one another and not reach for their rifles to finally settle the matter of "who controls the oil" the old fashioned way.

No.

No division.

In fact, on the 1% chance that I get anywhere near state power, any influential figure pushing for secession will be taken to a remote village in the hills of Taraba and gently shoved off a cliff.

My position is stubborn:

The same way humanity MUST come before religion...

The Nigerian identity must come before Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Edo etc.

To be clear this isn't something you can or should create by force.

All you need is a Nigeria with high speed rail, abundant food, world class healthcare, plenty of social and public infrastructure, and a thriving middle class.

Give it a generation. Max two.

This tribalism nonsense will take a backseat.

Because at its core, tribalism is what you get when there's an incomprehensible divide between the rich and the poor.

Bridge that gulf and tribalism will die.

[Ikhide R. Ikheloa @ikhide]

I am retired now, and last year I thought, I would go home and just chill for a couple of months. It was rough. I do go home every now and then, but I'd never stayed this long.

I should have planned the trip better. I have been away for almost 44 years, and my system has been used to a certain planet. Everything about and in me was stressed. Nigeria is a different planet.

I did not attempt to replicate my comfort and lifestyle that I enjoy in the US. I stayed in rough and tumble places. It's hard if you do that. It's tough to think, to function, you are swamped with trying to make it through the day, seeing as you are deprived of what are basic services back in the US.

Light, water, good roads, security, they are luxuries there. I have said this before, in Nigeria, no matter how wealthy you are, you are basically poor. Things need to change in Nigeria, the place needs a hard reset and a Marshall plan to replace the inchoate and decaying infrastructure and services. I stayed the entire two months, I was too lazy to try to change my flight, I would have done so.

Would I go back? Absolutely. This time, I'll simply pay for comfort, I am too old to immerse myself in the drama of incompetence. I'll go back for the spirit and the camaraderie. My friends and relatives were incredibly generous and I did not lack, but I could tell they were struggling to keep up with my spiritual, emotional and physical needs. America had defanged me and I could no longer thrive in Nigeria's jungle. Our leaders and their enabler-intellectuals should be lined up and taught a lesson, if you know what I mean. Disgraceful lot.

Sadly, there is no sugarcoating it, Nigeria is in very bad shape. And I speak from professional experience having worked with municipal government in the US for decades. Any attempt to gloss over the mess that is Nigeria is not merely dishonest, it is cruel.

Nigeria needs a cultural and structural reset, one that this version of "democracy" cannot offer. Nigerians have no idea how badly they are being governed. And you don't have to go to the West to see that. Just go next door, to an African country. It's so sad. The two months I spent there, I lost total respect for our politicians and their enabler-intellectuals. They are all grifters.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

The average Nigerian is pro-West by default, and the blame lies squarely at the feet of the educational engine we operate in this country.
This is why I've always maintained that every current effort to "improve" the Nigerian education is nothing but an exercise in futility.

Let them continue to pour billions into renovating crumbling school blocks under the dire delusion that painting the walls of a prison contributes to the national good.

Let them continue to "smuggle" AI and robotics into a curriculum designed to produce 19th-century colonial clerks, hoping that somehow, through some miracle, we can sprout a Silicon Valley from a soil soaked in colonial ink.

Let them keep hosting "Education Summits" in five-star hotels to discuss "global competitiveness" while their students are being trained to be strangers in their own land.

Let them keep chasing "global rankings" that were designed to measure how well we mimic our slave masters.

Then, one day, when we finally wake from this deep, induced slumber, we will do exactly what China did to transform from a broken territory into a formidable global force.

We will start by dismantling every single American and British international schools on Nigerian soil.
Not through regulation, but through the complete and unified closure of these factories of alienation.

We will incinerate the foreign textbooks used to sterilize the minds of our youth and replace them with the hard truths of our own African heritage.

After we have cleared the foreign outposts, we will turn our gaze to the national curriculum, which is the heart of the beast, from Nursery 1 to SS3.
This Lord Lugard curriculum cannot be reformed, patched, or "decolonized."
It is a blueprint for mental bondage.

We will burn the school curriculum on live television, a national bonfire for all to see, marking the definitive end of neo-colonialism.

In its place, we will assemble a phalanx of Pan-African experts to forge a curriculum that reflects African values, African history, and an African future.

Next, we will shutter every higher college and university in the country.
We will lock the gates until the "Liberal Arts" poison education we operate, which only prepares our best minds to be high-level corporate slaves for Western conglomerates, is completely purged from the system.

We will pivot with clinical, state-driven aggression toward Technical Sovereignty. We will restructure the African mind to solve African problems using African resources.
Our engineers will not be trained to maintain Western machinery; they will be trained to invent our own.
Our scientists will not be taught to seek validation in Western journals; they will be channel that energy into harnessing our minerals to feed our people.

Only when we have the courage to burn the bridge to the West can we hope to see the rise of the truly educated Pan-African.

This is what China did and today they leading the world in technology and innovation.

[The Spearhead @Spearhead_Af]

Colonialism Taught African Women to Hate Their Own Hair

African hair was never just about appearance. It carried identity, culture, and meaning. Colonialism disrupted that, stripped it down, and replaced it with a system that taught African women to see their natural hair as something to fix, manage, or hide.

What we now call preference did not appear out of nowhere. It was shaped over time, reinforced through schools, workplaces, and media, until straight hair became the standard and everything else had to adjust.

So the real question is not what African women are choosing today. The question is why those choices feel necessary, and who defined that necessity in the first place.

If there is any real conversation to be had, it is this: how much of what we call beauty is actually ours, and how much of it was imposed on us.

Also, Peter Obi is not a “lesser evil”.

I am again begging us all to have moral clarity.

The man who said if anyone finds N5 that he embezzled should come forward and he’d leave the race:

That man is not a “lesser evil” I am begging you guys.

The man who has donated more money to education and health from his own purse more than the CapEx for health by the government is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who left no debt but actual surplus in the treasury of the state he governed is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who has successfully without any corruption led as:

Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc

Director of Fidelity Bank Plc

Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd

Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd

Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd

Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd

Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc

Director of Chams Nigeria Plc

Director of Data Corp Ltd

Director of Card Centre Plc

Independent Non-Executive Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd:

Is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who went to Egypt to study how to make power constant for you is not a lesser evil.

The man who said he wouldn’t tax you unless he has prospered you isn’t a lesser evil.

The “lesser evil” bifurcation came when we wanted to choose between a corrupt incompetent Buhari and a corrupt incompetent Atiku.

I don’t really like politics Twitter. But I’m saying this so we all have moral clarity.

I am begging us all. Please, let’s dump these contrarian virtue signaling.

I am begging.

We are up against vicious people. These are the people who have witnessed around 5 generals and colonels die and nothing is moving them.

I am begging you all, please.

[RAWSHIELD @Rashnaking]

Nigeria is a reflection of the people in it.

Someone shot his shot at Victor Osimhen for a jersey and even tagged a vendor.
Osimhen saw it and said he’d personally send one.

Then told the vendor to add 15 more jerseys for others.

-That’s where it got interesting.-

Immediately money entered, the story changed.

The vendor suddenly said Osimhen told him to share it himself.

He claimed he had already picked 15 people.

—Then it got worse—
He called the same person who brought him the business a scam.

From there, he tried to “negotiate”:
7 for the guy, 8 for himself.
Greed, plain and simple.

The guy refused and asked for all 15 jerseys as instructed.

—Next thing—

The vendor switched again.
Said the post was “stolen” and brought another person to justify it.

—Now here’s the real problem—
Instead of people calling out the wrong,
they started defending it.

“Make una settle.”
“Na just jersey.”
“Let it go.”

- Someone even offered to pay extra, 
rewarding bad behavior.

And that’s when it becomes clear:
We are not different from the people we complain about in power.

—This is how it starts—

small compromise, small dishonesty, small defense of wrong.

Nigeria didn’t just become this way overnight.

We built it, little by little, with everyday actions like this.

Truth is, many people are only “good” because they’ve not had the opportunity to do worse.

One day, we will have an honest conversation about the double standards on this TL.

One day.
