Sky Sports posts a ragebait video about Chelsea using rugby pads in training.

A few minutes later Mikel Arteta gets asked his opinion on Chelsea using rugby pads in training.

Mikel Arteta: "That's something that a lot of clubs use; we use those pads as well. Everybody uses those pads in circuits. I think that's something very, very common."

If you tell Nigerians that a Silicon Valley based fintech charges Nigerians $10.00 on $50.00 transfers, many responses will be something along the line of;

They are doing it because we are terrible people bla bla bla.

AC died this weekend. Tech came out and quoted us $3k to fix, but suggested a $12k replacement.

We call another guy out - he fixes it on the spot for $100 and told us the previous tech wrapped wires around the motor to make it look really bad

DID YOU KNOW??

UPS's famous "no left turn" policy saves the company roughly 10 million gallons of fuel every year, eliminates 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and allows them to deliver 350,000 more packages annually, all by designing routes that make right turns around 90% of the time.

​In 2004, UPS deployed a proprietary routing algorithm called ORION (On-Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation). Rather than calculating the shortest distance between points on a map like standard GPS, ORION prioritizes efficiency and safety by instructing drivers to avoid turning across oncoming traffic whenever possible.

​While making three right turns to bypass a single left turn might look longer on a map, the physics and logistics of urban traffic prove it is vastly faster, safer, and cheaper. Let me explain 👇🏾👇🏾

Why Left Turns Are a Logistics Nightmare:

1. Wasted Time and Fuel:
Turning left across oncoming traffic requires waiting for a gap in traffic or a green arrow. A delivery truck idling at an intersection burns fuel while sitting motionless. Eliminating left turns cuts total idle time by millions of hours fleet-wide.

2. Severe Accident Rates:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 53.1% of cross-path intersection crashes involve left turns, compared to just 5.7% for right turns. Turning left forces a driver to monitor oncoming traffic, pedestrian crosswalks, and blind spots simultaneously.

3. Unpredictable Traffic Delays:
Waiting for oncoming traffic creates variable delays that ruin tight delivery schedules. Right-hand turns, where traffic flows continuously, allow routing software to calculate package arrival times with razor-sharp accuracy.

4. Large Vehicle Blind Spots:
UPS brown package cars have large blind spots on their front-left A-pillar. Making a left turn across active traffic lanes increases the risk of clipping oncoming vehicles or missing pedestrians in crosswalks.

More Surprising Facts About UPS Logistics & Vehicle Mechanics:

A. ​Right-Hand Rule in Left-Hand Traffic Countries: In countries that drive on the left side of the road (like the UK or Australia), the rule is inverted: UPS algorithms instruct drivers to favor left turns and avoid right turns across oncoming traffic.

B. ​MythBusters Tested the Policy: In 2010, the TV show MythBusters tested the UPS "no left turn" rule using a delivery truck. The right-turn-only route covered more physical distance, but it burned significantly less fuel and saved time compared to the direct route with left turns.

C. ​Drivers Don't Have Ignition Keys: UPS package cars use push-button ignitions paired with fobs worn on the driver's ring finger. This saves precious seconds per stop and prevents drivers from leaving trucks idling, saving thousands of gallons of gas daily.

D. ​No Air Conditioning in Delivery Trucks: Most classic UPS delivery trucks traditionally lacked air conditioning. The doors are designed to stay locked open while driving in residential zones to speed up entry/exit, relying on dual open doors and roof vents for airflow.

​SUMMARILY!
​By eliminating left turns across oncoming traffic, UPS uses network optimization algorithms to cut carbon emissions by 20,000 tons, save 10 million gallons of gas, and drastically reduce intersection collisions every year.

Hopefully you've learnt something new today?

UPS has banned its drivers from turning left since 2004. The company says the rule saves 10 million gallons of fuel a year and let it pull 1,100 trucks off the road. The same logic is why this intersection needs zero lights.

The left turn is the villain of the entire road system.

A normal four-way intersection has 32 points where two cars can hit each other. Sixteen of them sit inside the box, and every one of those is a crossing conflict, the kind that produces a T-bone at 45 mph. Twelve of the sixteen involve someone turning left across oncoming traffic.

Delete the left turn and the count drops from 32 to 14. Crossing conflicts fall 87%.

That is what the loops in this design are doing. Nobody turns left. You turn right, drive a few hundred feet, U-turn through the median, and come back to the road you wanted. Three gentle merges replace one gamble against oncoming cars.

Michigan has been building these since the late 1960s, which is why engineers call it the Michigan Left. Minnesota put its first one in Willmar and went three years without a single fatal or serious injury crash. Across the states that adopted the design, injury and fatal crashes fell 54%.

The render skips the cost. Every crossing driver goes farther, and those U-turn loops eat land, which is why you find these on wide rural highways and almost never downtown. Minnesota's math is that it can build 10 to 20 of them for the price of one overpass.

Traffic lights exist to referee left turns. Take the left turn away and the referee has nothing to do.

People think moving to Canada ruins Nigerian marriages.

It honetly doesn't.

It just removes the driver, the nanny, and the aunties who acted as shock absorbers.

For the first time, you are alone in a quiet room with your spouse, and you realize you only ever liked the logistics you built together.

Alarms will be blaring in some homes because of this.

Some of you were not meant to be married honestly.

Nigeria is dangerously not inclusive.

I know this doctor that stammers. When he goes for interview, he sees his colleague spend up to 30 mins, but his interviews doesn't go past 5 mins. He could tell they just want to dismiss him and move to the next person.

The doctor went for his PLAB exam in England. A day was set aside for doctors with speech difficulty. They were given extra time and asked if the time would be enough for them. He passed the PLAB. In Nigeria, when he takes exam, he has to finish within the alloted time given to people without difficulty.

How do we expect perfection from people who are already with personal difficulties? We need to imbibe grace as a people.

[Onye Nkuzi @cchukudebelu]

You cannot get Nigerians to "fight for their rights", they do not understand that they even have "rights" to begin with.

I am trying to explain to them, that as a consumer, a service provider should not abruptly stop providing services (with no proper notice) - as you all have certain "consumer rights".

Their responses are something along the line of;

We are collectively terrible people, bla bla bla bla.

But even if you are all "collectively terrible people" - do you not have "rights as consumers"?

This illogical, defeatist thought pattern - largely driven by a crippling inferiority complex, is why Nigerians seldom accomplish anything as a collective - both at home, and abroad.

Anyway, believe whatever you want, I am out of this discussion.

Adele was crying on livestream after her fiancé Rich Paul got caught on camera kissing a black lady at a baseball game.
She said:

“They all warned me, didn’t they? Me family, me sisters, everyone… I just didn’t listen. I was too bloody blind to see it. A black man always goes back to his heritage in the end. He’s made a right fool out of me. Now I finally get why he engaged me and has been calling me his wife since 2024 but keeps making excuses every time I ask when the actual wedding is happening. I’m trying to plan an album, this shouldn’t even be my problem right now. Bye guys, I just needed somewhere to get this off my chest.”

65 FREE SURGERIES FOR 65 CHILDREN

Yesterday, I attended the final follow-up clinic and appreciation programme at Mother Mary Hospital, Isolo, Lagos, following the successful completion of 65 free surgeries for children to mark my 65th birthday.

I am deeply grateful to God Almighty for guiding the medical team throughout the process and for granting all 65 children safe and successful surgeries.

The surgeries, led by Dr Folaseye Adebayo and her dedicated team, included adenotonsillectomy. This procedure removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids, which can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep-related problems in children.

What made the occasion particularly touching was listening to parents share their testimonies and hearing how these procedures have improved their children’s health and quality of life.

My profound appreciation goes to @DrFolaseye Adebayo and her entire team, the hospital management, the parents, and everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.

For me, birthdays are not merely occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to give back, touch lives, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

I thank God for the privilege of being part of this initiative and, most importantly, for the gift of 65 healthy and hopeful children.

May God continue to bless all those who dedicate their lives to saving and improving the lives of others.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
