Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan has called on football's biggest names to speak out on Gaza, saying children wearing the shirts of clubs and players they admire are being killed while the football world remains silent.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

“By the way, in the country where children are dying, they wear the jerseys of Argentina, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.”

Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan condemned the football community for their silence regarding the killing of Palestinian children

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

You made us all proud team Egypt 🇪🇬.

Got clearly cheated out of a goal, and overrun by FIFA corruption.

But hold your heads high like Coach Hossam held the flag of Palestine 🇵🇸.

They can’t VAR this.

Mark this. Egypt is next, after Turkey; or, rather, with Turkey & Iran.

[Jaafar Jaafar @JaafarSJaafar]

I have never seen a state government institution or facility that is better run than their federal counterparts.

* Federal universities generally rank above most state universities.

* Federal Government Colleges are better run than state government colleges

* Federal teaching hospitals offer more specialised healthcare than state hospitals.

* Federal roads are better built and maintained than state roads.

* INEC, despite its imperfections, conducts more credible elections than State Independent Electoral Commissions.

* The federal civil service is generally more structured than state civil service.

If performance is the benchmark, why does Tinubu think states can run police better than the federal government?

The first and only time I ever bet on football was in 1990, when I bet that Cameroon would beat Argentina in the World Cup. The odds were 20-1. I bet £1 (that was all I could afford then) and won £20! Madam and I were living in one room in Seven Sisters, London, then. We were finally able to order egg fried rice and beef in oyster sauce from the local Chinese restaurant. Before then, it was just egg fried rice with chilli sauce and no protein.

I don’t suffer before for this my life o. And this woman suffered with me. Some days, we could only afford one meal and she would lie that she had eaten and give me the meal to eat when I came back from work. I grew up with many relatives living with us. So, by upbringing, I was raised not to finish everything on my plate. It was by watching how she wolfed down everything left on my plate that I finally realised that this woman had not eaten and had sacrificed herself to make sure I ate.

So, now, when anybody says “She’s the one eating all his money, I ask: “Before nko? Were you there when we were eating egg fried rice with no protein from Red Square Chinese Restaurant in 1990?” 😂

Kaduna guys are just… special.

I accommodated a friend who came all the way from Kaduna to Daura to see one Bayajidda descendant.

He spent two days. Just 2 days!

But after he went back home, I called to check up on him. He told me our town (Daura) has given him malaria.

I sympathised and advise him to treat it properly.

He went on about how our town gave him malaria and how any time he leaves KD, he would get infected with malaria and all. He even told me KD is the best city in Nigeria; that I should better start looking for a way to get work there.

Now, the news in this story is…

Medically, it is impossible to get malaria in 2 days.

If a mosquito bite you today, you cannot come down with malaria in the next two days.

That’s not how it works!

Unlike KD guys, mosquitoes are an organised species. They follow and respect plans. They don’t skip processes!

When a mosquito bite, it mistakenly ( Yes, it’s a mistake) drops saliva while sucking your blood. The saliva is what contains the parasite that causes you to have malaria.

However, the parasite is not wicked enough to cause you distress right away. No. It follows a plan: in the body, it firstly find its way to the bloodstream. Then to the liver. Then to the Red Blood Cells. Then it burst the red cells: then it scattered to everywhere in the body. The scattered malaria parasite all over the body and your body’s reaction to these parasites is what everyone knew as malaria.

Now, before it does all that, bearing in mind its meticulousness, how many days do you think it needs?

Certainly not two!

It needs at least 7 days. Notice how 7 is the least number of days. Meaning, it could be more— it’s usually more.

About 10 days in total.

So, does this mean my KD friend got his malaria from…. 🧐

I know KD is the NY of Nigeria. But… I also know that laws of nature are not breakable.

So, how can I now explain everything ?

How can I agree with my friend that Daura gave him malaria in two days, while also respecting the diligence of the malaria parasite?

Could it be… that the mosquitoes that bite him are also of the KD type?

If that’s so. Then KD must really be a special place.

To have the whole ecosystem of humans and their animal companions behaving in a similar fashion is… extraordinarily special!

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation."
I don't know what Agile means.
Nobody does.
That's why it works.

I make $425,000 a year.
To move sticky notes.
From left to right.
On a board.
The board is digital now.
The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses.
Progress.

Day one, I said "we need to break down silos."
Everyone nodded.
Silos are bad.
I don't know why.
But destroying them is a career.
My career.

I introduced "squads."
Squads are teams.
But disrupted.
We disrupted the teams into teams.
Different names.
Same people.
Same problems.
But Agile problems now.
Agile problems are strategic.

A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing.
I said, "The mindset."
He asked what that means.
I said, "It's a journey."
He asked where we're going.
I said, "Toward agility."
He asked what agility means.
I pointed at the sticky notes.
They were moving left to right.
That's velocity.
We have velocity now.

The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work.
I said, "That's waterfall thinking."
Waterfall is bad.
Like silos.
I don't know what waterfall is.
But I know it's bad.
She stopped talking.
Waterfall accusations end conversations.

We had a retrospective.
In the retro, we discussed what went wrong.
Everything went wrong.
We put it on sticky notes.
Then we moved the sticky notes.
Into a column called "Parking Lot."
The Parking Lot is where problems go to die.
It's full.
We don't look at it.
That's agile.

Velocity is up 40%.
I defined velocity.
I also defined the points.
I also defined the stories.
We're crushing it.
At the things I made up.
To measure.
Ourselves.

The CEO asked for ROI.
I showed a chart.
The chart went up.
Charts should go up.
This one did.
I didn't label the Y-axis.
Nobody asked.
Leadership is confidence.

We do standups now.
Every day.
We stand.
For 45 minutes.
Standing is agile.
Sitting is waterfall.
My legs hurt.
But we're transforming.

The transformation is now "Phase 3."
Phase 1 was assessment.
Phase 2 was implementation.
Phase 3 is "continuous improvement."
Continuous means forever.
Forever means job security.
I'm very secure.

My contract was extended.
Three more years.
For "cultural impact."
The culture is confused.
But impacted.

Agile transformation isn't about being agile.
It's about transforming.
Continuously.
Toward more transformation.
The destination is the journey.
The journey is billable.

Last night, I wanted to fix the tyre, but it was almost Magrib time.

Quickly branched at a mosque by the road side, smelling like the solution to world hunger, but ended up shoulder to shoulder and led by guys who work very hard in filth.

The stench of their sweat was raw, and that of their clothes, but we embraced pretty closely, because we all are humans.

Nothing reminds you more of the vanity of life. No one says my grave would be finer than theirs or smell better.

Everyday, I’m glad Islam reminds me of who I am: a dust, and one day to be returned to that.

Guys, we are not here to judge but, as a married man, wherever you go, make sure that you go back home
to sleep. Don’t sleep outside unless you are not in town.

Don’t go and hang with friends (of any sort) and get so carried away that you do not go home.

Even when you are home alone, make sure that you sleep at home.

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

I lost all the businesses in these picture frames.
I've lost money, lots of it.
Lost 4 major businesses; an art gallery, pure water factory. 2 yoghurt factories,
I had seven broken relationships.
I have been depressed with suicide tendencies twice. 1991 and 2014.
Two terminal diseases to deal with.
I had panic attacks episodes for over three years, 1991 and 2014.
Everything about me is late. Schooling late, good job late, marriage late, business break through late, started having children, late. Bought my first car late. Nobody would ever want to be associated with a failure like me.

What kept me going? Hope. Knowing that life is in phases. The help you need is within you. Only you can generate the energy and encouragement you need.

The tomato and iroko tree are plants. Which are you?

I hope this helps someone. 🚶🏿‍♂️‍➡️🚶🏿‍♂️‍➡️🚶🏿‍♂️‍➡️
