Connection in any community is usually built on common ground. In new spaces, people naturally gravitate toward familiarity, & race is the easiest shortcut for assuming shared experiences. The nuance matters; not every exclusion is hostility & not every gravitation is friendship.
My first time in England for my Masters, as I walked into the class, we naturally sat according to race. Blacks on this side, Whites on that side, Asians on their side, Middle Easterners on their side.
It was so natural that every other class, you just eye your people and sit next to them.

Let the guy make his content, I don’t understand some of the hate and backlash here.
Your daughters are twerking at every other location on earth to promote their onlyfans pages.
But THIS offends you?
Relax.
Mr MP, before you talk down on Nigerians, ask yourself a few simple questions:
Who colonised Nigeria?
What’s Nigeria’s official language?
Is Nigeria part of the Commonwealth?
From nursery to university, Nigerians are educated entirely in English.
And the results speak for themselves:
UK Department for Education data shows that students of Nigerian heritage consistently outperform the national average at GCSE level.
Nigerians are among the most highly educated immigrant groups in the US, UK, and Europe, with a large percentage holding degrees and postgraduate qualifications.
Nigerian professionals excel globally in medicine, engineering, tech, finance, law, and academia.
So yes, Nigerians aren’t just speaking English fluently…
We’re thriving in English-speaking systems, often achieving top-tier academic and professional outcomes wherever we go.
I left most of my books in Nigeria, but you see my Yoruba books!? I packed them all!
Even their bedtime stories will be read in Yorùbá lagabara Ọlọrun!
So I went to pick Georgina in school,
When my child came,we started talking!Shey ka lo ra puff puff Ati Fanta and she said beeni !etc.
Tell me why this woman said,I shld stop speaking Yoruba to my child!You dey mad!Cldn’t shepe for her because kids were there.have reported sha.
@BasedNorthmathr@ifedayo_johnson has proven himself your equal in your own area of strength. I wished the test wasn't limited to just listening and speaking.
Dear men, don’t let them only motivate you to be angry. Let them also motivate you to be happy, and healthy, and fit, and intelligent, and successful, and gracious, and well dressed, and well spoken, and classy, and at peace with your God. I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
Fraudsters make me so livid… the editor of this video said “if we left you alone with a camera on, you could write an entire thesis about why you hate fraudsters” 😑
Lol. This is not an African thing! Mention one continent or country where people don't dress their age! The whole of living is performative in a sense, let's endeavour to think critically before committing to these 'bangers'.
When your maturity visits, part of your epiphany will be that the more you imagine God, the more you’ll reduce Him to your reality. We will indeed each grow to be able to see the world and imagine God beyond the limits of our personal comfort, the weight of our individual struggle or the challenges of our local geography.
Stop localizing the Almighty God.
And Stop reducing the possibilities in Christ to your pain, your postcode, or your pocket.
See the Universe. Not just the street you grew up on. Imagine God—not just as your Helper—but as the Sovereign Architect of global patterns and systems.
Understand this:
The instruments that deliver true prosperity and economic transformation—whether for a person, a family, an enterprise, or an entire nation—do not answer to religion.
They do not bow to constructs of spirituality. No. Rather..they obey intelligence, order, laws, alignment, value, and vision—and all are quantities created and permitted by God. Anyone committed to these quantities will manifest, regardless of religious affiliations.
God is not just a Comforter in your crisis. He is a Strategist in the cosmos.
If you want to rise, see further. Think deeper. Go beyond borders.
That’s where dominion begins.
Share this and retweet to your world. It’s duty to TRUTH.
Shalom.

Video Title: REINVENT: Maximizing the Moment.
I agree with Taleb’s erudition on knowledge. It grows by subtraction and for that reason, learning is rooted in repetition and convexity. The reading of a single text twice is more profitable than reading two different things once.
In middle school science, what I was taught about Matter is basically that it is anything that has weight and occupy space. I had to navigate adulthood to realize this definition is DEEPLY POOR. Part of my clarity (learnt in deep misery) is the truth that most humans actually live in the prison of matter—the ownership of things; because people are so poor all they have is money. I grew to understand that poor billionaires exist, languishing in the pettiness and smallness of having plenty outside and nothing inside.
In a world obsessed with symbols of success—labels, possessions, titles—we often forget that existence itself does not derive its credibility from things, but from meaning. Those who miss this weighty idea will forever be in hustle-mode, chasing reflections of worth all their life, and never experiencing true worth. Having a lot of money in the process, yet lacking meaning. Meaning, in this sense, is the intrinsic alignment of one’s existence with a purpose beyond mere survival or accumulation. It is the substance that transcends fleeting validations, anchoring a person in a reality that is not dictated by external forces but by an internal coherence of values, purpose, and depth; and meaning is sure not a trophy to be acquired. It is not about having or owning; but a state of being—a spiritually-defined, evolving narrative that shapes one’s actions, relationships, and legacy. It is what remains when titles fade, possessions decay, and recognition dissolves.
I know now that the entities who define their existence from within, carving purpose beyond the material, sooner or later ascends beyond struggle into scale. They know the external world is so fickle, it elevates today and abandons tomorrow. To define strength from the outside-in is to hand over your soul to forces indifferent to its depth. True power begins in the unseen—the conviction, the clarity, the unwavering alignment of one’s being with something beyond possession. From this place, even a whisper moves mountains. That’s real FAITH.
Never forget that those who build their identity upon things will forever be vulnerable to their loss. I FEAR NOTHING. I OWN NOTHING..but I AM🙏🏽
Shalom💫✨
I just read the dissenting judgment delivered by Justice Helen Ogunwumiju, JSC, in Sunday Jackson v. State.
By refusing to affirm the execution of a man who lawfully defended himself from an armed herdsman, she upheld the constitutional right to life and safeguarded the integrity of Nigeria’s criminal jurisprudence. (1)
Self-Love is great. Necessary actually and there’s no meaning without it. And yet, on many levels, without discretion and awareness, Self-Love easily becomes the tool for shielding Rebellion, Unguardedness and Selflessness. On many levels, Self-Love easily becomes your right to isolation, insulation and the sense only you can understand. It’s a thin line between Wisdom and Foolishness..
