A 25-year-old housewife in Chennai earns ₹250/hour ($3) just by doing her normal housework.

She wears a phone on her head and records herself making coffee, cutting fruit, folding laundry.

These first-person videos get sent to AI companies training humanoid robots to handle real-world tasks. She shoots 90+ clips a day.

Her quote: "Who else will pay you ₹250/hour ($3) an hour just for doing housework?"

She's part of a growing gig economy in India where thousands are doing the same thing, filming everyday life to train the robots of tomorrow.

@SeplatEnergy top executives have significantly deepened their stake in the company, with the CEO and CFO now controlling shares worth about N87 billion as one greedy bastard who can’t run his own company is trying to get rid of the CFO.

This is what became missing in most societies. I started working and saving during holidays to buy my own stuff when I was 11. I bought my first car while I was still in school, from the fruits of my hustle.

Young people should be allowed to work for a decent wage as early as possible. The work ethic they learn will never leave them.

I used to wonder why my cousin in America, whose parents were well-off professionals was working for Burger King after school. It wasn't because she needed to, but it was helpful in helping her build herself up. Now she is a successful accountant.

@bernard_parah reminded me of doing this for my kids recently. Maybe my boy should work for his laptop during his holidays. I should find him some remote gig.

An acquaintance and I met recently, and we discussed stock investing. He was trying it for the first time, and I was very intentional about making his experience a successful one. One of my purposes is to, in my own way, increase participation in the Nigerian financial markets, particularly in the equities market.

A few months in, my guy was already in the money. Portfolio return was already at 70%, including specific names that had done 2x (e.g., CAP PLC).

We recently did a catch-up, and he was so excited. I was excited too. He said he wished he had invested more money, and I was like "na so e dey be when the sight green, lol".

He then chipped in "omo, na to close my farming business and do stocks o". I knew he was joking with that line, but I still thought I'd make a point about it... Just for informational purposes.

The stock market truly is described as the "greatest wealth-creating machine ever invented".

Also, the stock market will make you rich and it won't also make you rich. The deeper point is about not confusing the source vs the vehicle.

The farming business provided the capital, and the stock market has multiplied it.

When your portfolio is up significantly, it's easy to feel like you've "figured it out" and that the market can now replace your salary. But what people forget is that the portfolio only exists because the job provided the consistent capital to fund it in the first place. The income was the seed, the market was just the soil.

So if you want more returns, you have to double your efforts at your job to make money (via salary increases, bonuses, or other sources of income).

Additionally, in this person's case, his farming business is a form of private equity. The stock market is a public equity - both are still equities, and he might need to even diversify into other asset classes (say fixed-income, except there is a specific investing constraint. Another option is real estate.

Lagos developed the Lekki-Epe axis just about 25 years ago, with no green spaces, public parks, designated markets, hospitals, schools, and other public infrastructures, except roads. Now the whole of Phase 1 has become one large shopping complex.

From Lekki to Epe, there isn’t a single public park, when there should be at least 5. If Chevron hadn’t taken over that conservation area, it probably would have been turned into an estate.

This is isn’t good enough and I don't think it’s too late.

I’d like to give a special shoutout to @savvynigerian, a talented young Nigerian who created a beautiful tribute to the IBTC/@StanbicIBTC story without being commissioned by anyone.

This video was brought to my attention by young people who saw it circulating on social media. It is amazing to see how our youth are now creatively using tools like AI to tell stories based on publicly accessible information only.

I doff my hat to you.

This was his last status, "🎲🎲" He made it to viva and needed less than 6 marks to get a distinction.

He was around at least 4 doctors with over 100 medical students with at least a year of clinical experience. He was less than 10 minutes away from the teaching hospital. Yet when it happened, an ambulance came without oxygen or a stretcher. They had to go back to get them.

There was no defibrillator in the whole college where over 700 students pay ₦100k each as professional fees every year, apart from school fees. All they could do for him was CPR for over an hour.

This country killed his dream and failed his parents. Imagine having to go to class every day with the mindset of knowing each day could be your last. It wasn’t his time. A failed system made it so.

He dreamed of becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon to spend his life saving hearts, yet ventricular tachycardia took his own.
Dreams unfinished. Lives he would have touched, surgeries he would have performed, patients who would have walked out alive because of him, all cut short.

Rest in peace 🕊😭

“Her father said: marry him, and you lose the family fortune. She married him anyway. Thirty‑seven years later, they moved into the White House.”

In 1916, Mamie Doud stood at the edge of a choice that would define her life. She was nineteen, the daughter of a wealthy meatpacking executive in Denver, raised with servants and the expectation of a comfortable future. The man she loved, a young Army lieutenant named Dwight Eisenhower, had nothing to offer but a modest salary and a life of uncertainty. Her father warned her bluntly: marry him, and she would walk away from the family fortune forever. There would be no financial safety net, no return to the luxury she had always known. She chose him anyway.

Their story had begun eight months earlier, at a party in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Mamie spotted a handsome lieutenant across the lawn; he noticed her, too, and neither looked away. Dwight was persistent—when she went out with other men, he waited on her parents’ porch until she came home, patient and determined. Eventually, she chose him. On Valentine’s Day 1916, he gave her the only ring he could afford: a small replica of his West Point class ring. It was modest, but Mamie treasured it so much that she later celebrated both Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day as engagement anniversaries.

The wedding on July 1, 1916, was small and intimate, held in her parents’ elegant home on Lafayette Street. No grand ballroom, no lavish display. Dwight wore his dress uniform; Mamie wore a simple gown. Her father’s warning still echoed, but she stepped forward without hesitation. After the ceremony, they moved into Dwight’s modest quarters at Fort Sam Houston—a far cry from the home she had grown up in. She never complained. They called it “Club Eisenhower,” a place filled with warmth, laughter, and hospitality, no matter where the Army sent them.

For thirty‑seven years, Mamie built homes out of temporary Army housing, learned to cook on a budget, and formed friendships that would last across continents. She bore the weight of Dwight’s long absences, the grief of losing their first son to scarlet fever at age three, and the quiet sacrifices of military life. Through it all, she never regretted her choice. She had invested in a future she believed in, not one she was handed. In 1953, when Dwight Eisenhower became President of the United States, the woman who had left a fortune behind walked into the White House as First Lady.

“She didn’t marry a future president. She married a man with nothing but ambition—and together, they built a legacy that no fortune could have bought.” Mamie Eisenhower’s story reminds us that real partnership isn’t about what you start with, but what you build together. She chose love over comfort, commitment over security, and in doing so, she helped shape a life that would touch history. Sometimes the richest investment isn’t in money—it’s in the person you believe in.

An American bank partnered with a Nigerian man to launder $308 million of Nigerian government money.

The money left Nigeria through American banks. It then sat quietly in a shell company for years while the man lived comfortably in Texas.

In 2003 American authorities arrested him. He spent six months in federal detention in the United States waiting to be tried.

Before the trial happened he offered to return $163 million.

America accepted. He flew back to Nigeria.

Nobody questioned him. Nobody charged him. Nobody prosecuted him.

He ran for Senate and won. He ran for Governor and won. He ran for Governor again and won.

America returned the $308 million his operation had laundered.

The new president then put him in cabinet.

America did not trust Nigeria with the $308 million.

They tied every dollar to three specific roads. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Abuja-Kano Road. Second Niger Bridge.

They even included a clawback clause. Misuse one dollar, pay it all back.

Why the conditions? Because previous loot returned to Nigeria had already disappeared.

Nigeria's own government told the court they had no record of how the earlier billions were spent.

A man who laundered billions is currently Nigeria's Minister of Budget and Economic Planning.

He decides how Nigeria spends its money.

The top 10 best performing companies ever in the NGX. Which of these do you have in your portfolio and whats your ROI?

Lets discuss!!!

[Femi Ote$ @realFemiOtedola]

At First HoldCo we decided to clean house properly. We took a huge one time hit of ₦748bn to admit old bad loans instead of pretending they do not exist. That is why profit looks like it crashed by 92%. Painful headline, but it is a serious long term move.

FURNITURE FOR 26 LAWMAKERS = RENOVATIONS FOR 7 HOSPITALS
(Ekiti 2026 Budget)

Purchase of Office Furniture for 26 Legislators — ₦1.2 billion

Renovation/Upgrades of 7 General and Specialist Hospitals:
1 State Specialist Hospital Ijero — ₦75m
2 General Hospital Oye Ekiti — ₦75m
3 General Hospital Emure — ₦75m
4 General Hospital Otun — ₦75m
5 General Hospital Ikogosi — ₦300m
6 General Hospital Awo — ₦300m
7 General Hospital Ipao — ₦300m

Total for the 7 hospitals — ₦1.2 billion

The ₦1.2 billion set aside for office furniture for the 26 legislators is exactly the same amount as the total funding for upgrading/renovating these seven hospitals serving different communities.

In short, One legislative furniture budget equals healthcare improvements for seven communities.

Paul: So I would ask you, if a foreign country bombed our air defense missiles, captured and removed our president and blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

[Tokunbo Wahab @tokunbo_wahab]

Dear Lagosians,

I am pleased to announce that the Lagos State Government is collaborating with MTN Nigeria @MTNNG to redevelop and transform the Obalende under-bridge into a modern, well-structured transport hub to be known as Y’ELLO Bus Park.

This redevelopment will convert what was once a notorious and degraded space into a functional, secure, and community-centred facility. The new bus park will feature an organised and regulated transport terminal, a recycling drop-off station, a road camp for LAWMA sweepers and security agencies, over 60 public toilet fixtures, kiosks, and other essential amenities designed to serve commuters and residents alike.

The design prioritises safety, health, and aesthetics. Solar-powered lighting will improve night-time visibility, reduce blind spots, and enhance CCTV effectiveness, helping to curb criminal activities and improve overall security in the Obalende axis. A biodigester system is also being introduced to sustainably manage wastewater generated within the park, while a dedicated recycling station will discourage illegal waste disposal in the area.

In line with our commitment to climate responsibility, the project includes the installation of solar panels to support long-term energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint. Tree planting is also planned to improve air quality and enhance the visual appeal of the environment.

This project reflects our resolve to reclaim public spaces, make them functional, sustainable, and safe, and ensure they serve the needs of Lagosians in a modern, responsible way.

Together, we are building a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Lagos.

🚨 HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🚨

Mark it. For generations unborn.

Like Columbus “discovering” America or Mungo Park “finding” River Niger…

But unlike them, I actually found what I was looking for !

“Man shall not live by sushi alone.”
“Give us this day our daily Amala.”
“One small swallow of Amala, one giant leap for mankind.”

We hereby declare:
The Right to Amala is a Fundamental Human Right.

On earth. At sea. And yes… even in space.

So let it be written.
So let it be eaten.
