Back in February, during the Hallelujah Challenge team photoshoot, Pastor @nathanielblow stopped to pray for me and shared a few prophetic words. One caught me completely off guard. He said the World Bank would invite me to speak at one of its biggest summits, and that I would play a headline role.
I said “Amen,” but honestly, I was confused. I already worked with the World Bank, so I could not see how that word would unfold. He must have noticed my face, because he said it again with even greater conviction. I received it and carried on with life.
Fast forward to April. A call with the manager of the World Bank Youth Summit changed everything. They wanted me to headline and curate a @hatricksbytolani session for more than 7,000 delegates, the first of its kind in the summit’s history. Two fireside chats. One with the President of the World Bank Group. The other with me, alongside the CEO of Voice of Africa KAD, on Finding Your Voice and the Power of Storytelling.
I did not believe it until the confirmation email arrived. Then the flyer. Even then it felt surreal. Somebody say, “Jesus Iye.”
God does not need our understanding to fulfil His word. He simply needs our obedience. There are some things hard work cannot explain, and this is one of them.
Pastor @nathanielblow , thank you for speaking with conviction that day, even when my face said I did not understand. You held the word steady until I could catch up to it.
And there is one more part of this story. Hatricks will tell it soon.
EXPOSE ? It’s Docker’s way of saying:
“This container intends to listen on port 3000.”
That’s all.
So what engineers should know who are just getting used to docker are these:
It doesn’t open the port,
It doesn’t publish the port,
It doesn’t route any traffic.
So to actually access the application from your machine, you still need:
docker run -p 3000:3000 my-app
The -p flag is what maps the container port to a port on the host machine.
Without it, your application may be happily listening on port 3000 inside the container while the outside world has no way to reach it.
Best way to explain it briefly is this, think of EXPOSE as a signpost.
Think of -p as the actual road.
It's funny how we quickly transitioned from 'I don't want to write codes with AI or let anyone know I use AI' to 'which model is the best for coding and owning Agentic Development with our full chest', interesting times indeed.
@smartnakamoura It wasn't even to ask a lady out, it was to wish her Happy Birthday. Long story short we have stopped talking and anytime I remember that website, I feel so embarrassed and angry, why did I stoop so low 😭😭.
Now people don’t even know what Lorem Ipsum is and their first website is a SaaS product hosted on Netlify with Google auth, stripe payment and Resend . 😂
Interesting times.
God is faithful to his covenants.
When God makes a covenant, he stands by it.
God is faithful in answering prayers.

Father please be faithful unto me as you’ve been faithful unto the Fathers.

He has always be doing this.
He was one of the people I listened to who gave me insight into the security challenges in the country. He spoke of how the system was working before crazy people introduce religion into politics as a weapon.
The videos are somewhere here.
He’s always been talking. This baba has lived his entire life for this country. There’s nothing more Pastor Adeboye can give more than what he’s been doing and keeps doing.
This is why I believe continuous attack on him is bigotry. Every single he’s accused of, he never did it. The things they are mentioning that he should have done, he’s been freaking doing it.
What else should he do?
