@I_Am_Ilemona ABV-CMN-LHR flight, but they changed departure day 4 d flight that supposed to leave from Abuja to casablanca to another day, meanwhile casablanca to London still remain intact. Had 2 cancel and request 4 refund which took some months to process. Honestly a bad experience.
@aliyuyahas ‘Reconstruction/remodelling’ A project that is not yet in regular use by the general public for scheduled commercial passenger flights. Just last year Aug it was ‘Revitalisation and enhancement with environmental beautification of the same airport’🤔
I asked my father how he has:
4 houses
3 cars
No loans
A happy wife
I thought he would say chase money and you will get what you want in life.
Instead, what he said shocked me:
Did you open a Word document and when you look at the top of the document, you saw;
"Read Only"
"Protected View"
"Marked as Final"; or
"Restrict Editing"?
Read this article.
This farm, which doesn't belong to TY Danjuma, is located in Plateau State.
TY, as a farmer, himself, merely visited the farm and commended the vision of the founder, Ibrahim Samande.
I hate to repeat myself, but the point must be made: while I commend the federal government for distributing agricultural machinery, distributing equipment without proper policies will not solve our food security or insecurity challenges.
Looking back at the records:
•The Jonathan Administrationdistributed over 550 tractors through the Agricultural Equipment Hiring Enterprise (AEHE).
•The Buhari Administrationdistributed over 2,000 tractors using the same AEHE framework.
•The Current Administration, through the Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanization Programme, aims to distribute over 2,000 tractors and implements.
In less than two decades, the majority of the machinery distributed by the previous administrations has stopped functioning. This isn't because the brands were inferior, but because we lack policies that guarantee proper utilization and management.
Let me set the record straight: even if we distribute one million tractors today, it will not create a sustainable food system. What Nigeria truly needs is 10 to 20 years of uninterrupted, legally backed agricultural policies. These should include:
1Indigenous Manufacturing:Establishing a national agricultural machinery manufacturing company in partnership with leading global firms to ensure local maintenance and production.
2National Farm Settlements:Creating nationwide farm settlements based on regional comparative advantages. By partnering with private investors through leasing agreements, the government removes the land-acquisition barrier, as Local Governments (LGs) would allocate land directly to investors.
3Research Revitalization: Revamping and merging agricultural research institutes. Their mandate should focus on developing improved seed varieties and modern practices, with direct links to higher institutions for seamless collaboration.
4Storage & Food Banks: Establishing national storage facilities and LGA-based food bank systems in collaboration with private investors across all 774 LGAs.
5Value-Addition Hubs: Creating industrial hubs within farm settlements. This requires infrastructure—such as roads linking farms to industrial areas and reliable electricity—where LGAs hold shares alongside private investors in manufacturing.
I will stop here for now.
Your phone is a surveillance device you paid $1,000 for.
Most people have no idea how exposed they actually are.
Copy these 9 settings to take your privacy back today.
I heard iPhones have a new feature where if it’s an unknown number that isn’t saved in your phone the person needs to say their name before the call comes through? Does anyone know what I’m talking about?
Have you noticed that the people at the very top of every industry in this world knew each other from way back?
That’s because they all had a single unfair advantage that most people ignore.
Think about this:
In 2023, the founder of Altschool said that he noticed that 80% of the people dominating the tech space in Nigeria at the time were people hanging around CChub circa 2011-2013.
In 2023 as well, tech cabal released an article called the paystack mafia. It was an article outlining several tech founders doing incredible things, raising funds and building. They were all at the company around the same time.
If you read up the PayPal mafia, you see the exact same pattern. How that the founders of YouTube, LinkedIn, Tesla, Palantir, Space X were all together at some point.
Let’s leave tech.
Coscharis. Ifeanyi Ubah. Ibeto. Inosson.
All billionaires in Nigeria. They all come from the same community. Nnewi.
They all started the same - trading spare parts.
The money used to settle coscharis from his apprenticeship was given to him by Okeiyi ( Chisco ) who was serving at the same time.
I promise you:
An unfair advantage that will remain the differentiating factor for the top 1% forever is something called community.
I don’t know how to explain it but something magical happens when people of like minds and similar vision come together in a confined space. No matter how small they start.
It’s like energy is coming together and something has to emerge as a result. It can’t be result-less.
The reason you’re already thinking “how do I get into communities that will help me grow?” Is because you’re not sincere with your desires.
You’re looking for already-made groups. They won’t accept you into their circle.
I won’t as well. I don’t trust you.
Start where you are. One. Two. Three friends that are simply hungry pursuing diverse dreams bound by a genuine desire to change their lives…you will shock yourself in a few years.
Rooting for you. Like mad.
