He said, I won't get a salary as I'll only be earning commissions with an allowance to cover transportation and other costs associated with customer acquisition.
I left and never looked back, then apologized to the friend who made the I tro when they asked him to reach out to me
I was offered a sales job at UBA's insurance company, what made me run wasn't the stress or target it was when after seeing my result, the interviewer hinted I have already gotten the job so I asked about the compensation...
Let me burst your bubble dick head!
In 2023 when Tinubu assumed office, PMS was N185, so N5,000,000 could buy 27,027 liters of PMS.
Today PMS is N1370, and your N37,000,000 could only buy 27,007 liters.
That is 20 liters less than what you could buy in 2023.
Foolish idiot!
Save this card. It is the bill of materials for what most PMs are stitching together with five different subscriptions right now.
Count what's in there. Persistent memory across sessions. Scheduled jobs in plain English. One inbox across WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Signal, Discord. Skills that rewrite themselves every 15 tool calls. Provider routing across Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Grok, and 8 others.
The PM stack today: Custom GPT Plus for the memory ($20/mo). Zapier for the cron ($30/mo). A Claude or GPT subscription for the actual model ($20/mo). Some Make or n8n glue ($10/mo). Each one a different login, different procedure, none of them learning from the others.
Hermes ships all of it as one binary. Free. With one MEMORY.md file underneath that the agent updates without asking.
The piece that matters most is who built it. Nous Research is the lab behind the open-source Hermes model series. Releasing a free orchestration runtime is a deliberate bet that the agent layer ends up worth more than the model layer.
This is the layer the closed labs cannot ship without cannibalizing themselves. Anthropic cannot put "switch to GPT, your skill files come with you" inside Claude Code. OpenAI cannot put "your memory is local, swap to Claude tomorrow" inside ChatGPT. The neutral runtime had to come from a lab with no model lock-in to defend.
This card is a reference. The deep dive is the manual.

He started working crazy overtime… like every day for 3 months.
I’m at home thinking I’m being supportive, cooking, cleaning, holding everything down like “okay he’s just trying to pay his car off.”
His sister slips one day like, “I’m proud of him, he paid that car off by January just like he said he would.”
It’s April.
So now I’m in my head like… oh so whats really tea cause you got me out here acting like a loyal housewife for a mystery mission ?!😭Of course I’m now side-eyeing everything. Late nights, quiet phone calls, doors closing… I’m like yeah, somebody about to get their feelings hurt TODAY.
I was ready to humble a whole situation.
Let me tell y’all this mf came downstairs just smiling. HA ! I’m bout to push all 32 back buddy.
Before I can even start, he goes,
“Pack your bags. I’m taking you to Mexico for your birthday.”
Y’all… I just cried.
There I was assuming and was being loved on purpose the whole time.I had told him months before I wanted that trip, then life hit and I settled for less. He didn’t. He worked 3 months straight, sacrificed everything, just to give me 5 days of joy I almost talked myself out of.
This man didn’t just hear me… he remembered me. Months later. In silence. In effort. In sacrifice.
Life ended up pulling us into different directions but whew…
to be loved intentionally, in a way that really sees you?
That man was the blueprint. 🤍
HR Manager: I want us to discuss the difference in your performance between last year and 2020.
Employee: Alright.
HR Manager: You were the top-rated employee in 2020, but it doesn’t feel like you’ve been nearly as present or focused since then.
Employee: Yeah… well, in 2020, it was the second year in a row I didn’t get a raise, even though I was the top employee. And when I asked why I couldn’t get a raise, you said it was because my pay was already at fair market value for my position.
HR Manager: That’s right.
Employee: And when I asked where my pay falls on the pay scale, you said it was below the median—so below the average of what I could make in my position. At that point, I decided I would become a fair market value employee and put in a below-average amount of effort, because that’s what I feel like you pay me to do.
HR Manager: You're reading too much into the text...
Employee: You’ve created an environment where there’s no incentive for me to work hard, so I don’t.
HR Manager: (Silence)
WW1 started with an “accident”, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand after a wrong turn, unleashing forces that took down the 19th Century.
Trump’s decision to strike Iran without serious consideration of the Strait of Hormuz is a similar “accident”.
Forces that were bubbling up to threaten the 20th Century order — drones, failing economies, great power rivalry, energy, AI, etc — have now been properly unleashed.
The US (like the UK/Anglosphere after WW1) is likely to survive as a global power, but it will likely take a decades-long conflagration to put it all back in the box and create a new 21st Century order.
When Temu was about to launch in Nigeria, their ads were everywhere. On Instagram, X, YouTube. It was non-stop.
Everyone talked about their marketing.
But what caught my attention was something else: what did their data infrastructure preparation look like?
So I built a simulation.
I designed a synthetic event log with the kind of messy, realistic, high-volume event streams to model what a launch like that would actually put into production systems in Nigeria.
Here's how I approached it:
1. I thought in events, not tables
One row = one event
Append-only logs
Every event timestamped and tied to actual user behavior
2. I built intentional structure by ensuring every column had rules:
Event type determines which fields can exist
Tracking IDs are generated only when the shipping process starts
Payment status depends on payment events
Financial events only occur when the user is trying to make a purchase
3. I made a means to generate localized data so it can be unmistakably Nigerian:
• Nigerian house addresses
• Nigerian names
• Phone numbers that started with "090", "080", "081", "070"
This is Part 1 (the thinking and event modeling phase) of the project. Part 2 drops tomorrow.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has directed that all airlines in Nigeria must henceforth allow serving military personnel to board aircraft first, ahead of first or business-class passengers.
Thank you @fkeyamo for prioritizing our troops
Your business is bleeding.
Not cash; time.
Manual processes, approval ping-pong, clunky spreadsheets… they’re silently killing your growth.
80% of small businesses still run on duct-taped systems.
You’re not lazy. You’re stuck.
Keep reading; this is the truth you’ve been dodging.
Most MVPs don’t fail because of bad code. They fail because the founder wasn’t ruthless about clarity.
Here’s how to build an MVP that actually moves the needle (from a team that lives and breathes them):

@AishaYesufu I blame Obama for.the insecurity in the sun saharam Africa, because it was his administration destroying Gaddafi that led to the proliferation of small arms leading to the BH and other terrorist grps around SSA.
Trump might be a racist, but he's way better than Obama.
