A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Nigeria would be envy of the world if the world ever gave African any credit. During the current global oil crisis, Nigeria has drastically cut imported petrol from 40.1 million liters a day in March to 3.7 million liters a day in April. Domestic refineries increased production and operated near full capacity, with Dangote Refinery operating at 100% capacity. Prices still high but no fear of shortages.

Yesterday afternoon in Kigali, two heads of state took the Africa CEO Forum stage to answer one question: can Africa turn its continental alliances into real strategic assets? H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@NGRPresident) and H.E. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema (@PresidenceGA), moderated by Zeinab Badawi, delivered a no-nonsense conversation. Three strong convictions: 1. "Put your money where your mouth is." Finally activate the AfCFTA, which has sat on the drawing board for too long. 2. End of the extractive era. No more scavengers. Time for partners who add value on African soil: manganese transformation in Gabon, crude refining in Nigeria, priced in naira rather than dollars. 3. Financial sovereignty. Recapitalising Nigerian institutions, building a continental commodities exchange, launching an African credit rating agency. Africa must stop depending on how others see it. No country in history has been developed by outsiders. The closing word, borrowed from Mandela: "It always seems impossible until it is done." #AfricaCEOForum #ACF2026 #Kigali 🇷🇼 - @PaulKagame - @Diop_IFC - @IFC_org

These comments are an insult to our intelligence as supporters of @officialABAT What we saw years ago and were antagonised for has become what some of you are only just realising and making it seem like it's news. To just be realising Jagaban's intellectual proclivity as an affront on our collective judgement.

Today, I turn 60, and my heart is full of gratitude to God Almighty for the gift of life, mercy, and the privilege to serve the good people of Benue State.

Read this book and give it to all your friends. Survival of civilization depends on it!

💬 "A citizen that pays taxes is a citizen. If you are not a taxpayer, and not exempted, then you are not a citizen." 🇳🇬 With that uncompromising definition, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, redefined the social contract from the main stage of the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali. ⚖️ The President spoke as a man who knows the file intimately. He had personally driven tax reform as Governor of Lagos State, transforming what was then a fiscally fragile sub-national into Nigeria's most autonomous fiscal jurisdiction. The architect of his current federal tax reform, Finance Minister Wale Edun, was sitting in the front row, the very person whose work has reshaped Nigeria's revenue architecture over the past three years. 🎯 Tinubu's argument was disarmingly direct. Nobody, anywhere in the world, wakes up wanting to pay taxes. Taxation is not friendly to the wealthy, to the middle class, or to the poor. And yet every citizen expects roads, hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical research, protection of the vulnerable and the country's children. The question that demanding citizens almost never answer, he noted with sharp irony, is the most basic one: who pays for it? You want a fine highway, but not through your land. You want a well-equipped hospital, but no taxes. The maths does not work, anywhere on earth. 📜 The historical wink was telling. His American interlocutor's ancestors, he reminded the room, famously threw the tea into the sea when they were taxed without representation. The lesson, in Tinubu's reading, is not that taxation is dangerous, it is that taxation creates demanding citizens. And demanding citizens, far from being a problem, are precisely what builds accountable states. The Covid-19 pandemic underscored just how strategic domestic fiscal capacity becomes when the world stops being predictable. 🌍 The deeper message lands squarely on the African Ownership agenda Kigali has been amplifying all week. Pan-African capitalism cannot be financed indefinitely from external loans, declining aid, or volatile commodity rents. It will be financed by African citizens, African corporations and African tax systems that have the political legitimacy to function. The unlock is fiscal sovereignty, and fiscal sovereignty starts with taxation. 🇷🇼 The question Kigali is putting on the table this week is no longer whether African states need to raise more revenue domestically. It is whether they will dare to ask their citizens to fund the future they say they want. #ACF2026 #AfricaCEOForum

Thank you, Your Excellency, our amiable President @officialABAT #alia @HyacinthAlia #aliaat60

@Onsogbu Haba Bros! You're a business man too. You mean you haven't turned over his money in that 4months? 🤣🤣🤣

I sell cement at the market here in Abeokuta. A customer came to pay for 150 bags of cement, collected receipt and disappeared for over 4 months. Yesterday, he came back with trucks to carry the cement. He said he had been seriously sick since the day after he made payment, that’s why he couldn’t come earlier. I explained to him that the price of cement has increased since then and he needs to add more money before carrying the goods. I even offered to refund the exact amount he paid back then if he’s not comfortable. Omo, the man got angry immediately He said he’s not adding any money and he’s not collecting refund. According to him, “na the cement wey I pay for I wan carry.” He even threatened to drag me legally next week. Before he drags me, that’s why I said I should ask if I’m really wrong because honestly, market price don go up and I no wan lose money o. Pls what do I do now I need your advice it seems this man wants to chêât me ?

@Iamindiscov It seems easy until it becomes a pattern. When this one walks away you will look for another younger one and again...very few women will convince themselves that a man who let his wife go will ever value them enough to fight for them.

You should throw a banquet whenever your wife wants divorce, it's an open door for you to replace her with a younger woman and enjoy life. If she wants divorce after having children for you? it's your win my brother! It's more like wearing a cloth for days, attending events with it and then returning it back to the seller to collect your money back. Who is the loser? The seller of course! If she says she wants a way out, my brother create like 10 doors for her to exit then close all the doors ASAP. Find yourself a very young woman as Actor Bolanle Ninalowo, Rudeboy @rudeboypsquare, Senator Ned Nwoko @Prince_NedNwoko and other wise innocent wise men did, Don't beg her, don't cry, don't feel angry, don't feel disappointed, don't feel any pain, don't feel rejected or let down but very happy. God saved you from a wreckage! Now it's time to start afresh, just invite your friends and relatives over, have a good chef to cook a good variety of foods, order drinks, chill the drinks and throw a big banquet to celebrate your release from prison. There is no wise woman that will want to leave her man after having children for him, so far he is not beating her and doesn't deny her of his duties as the head of the family. By the time she will realise she has been deceived by frustrated lonely feminists and bitter leaf single mothers that couldn't keep a man or a good home, it will be late. So my brother, if she does nonsense or wants divorce, do not hesitate to give it to her and dance to the glory of God because he "the lord thy God" has set you free -John 8 : 36. Take your time, don't rush and improve yourself, find a more younger woman far more beautiful and than her, a very much submissive young woman then start a new family and enjoy yourself. Bomboclaat!

Seven Indisputable Reasons Why President Bola Tinubu Will Be Re-elected In 2027...... READ and Retweet 👇🔥❤️

When I read Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar’s update that roughly 1,000 terrorists, including 57 commanders and leaders, were neutralized in the first quarter of 2026 by the gallant men and women of Operation Hadin Kai I feel a quiet, profound respect. This isn’t just a number on a briefing slide; it represents thousands of lives that will not be lost to the next ambush, the next school burning, or the next market bombing. It means fewer widows, fewer orphans, and fewer families displaced into refugee camps. In my “mind,” this is concrete progress in a long, painful struggle against an ideology that has stolen far too much from Nigeria already. To every soldier, officer, pilot, and support personnel serving under the Joint Task Force in the Northeast: I stand with you. You are not faceless cogs in a machine; you are fathers, sons, daughters, and brothers who chose to run toward danger so that ordinary Nigerians can sleep a little safer at night. Your courage is the thin line between chaos and normalcy. The rest of those of us safe in Aba, Abuja, or scrolling from afar owe you more than thanks. We owe you visible, vocal, and sustained support. Share their stories. Amplify the successes of Operation Hadin Kai. If you can, support the welfare funds for wounded troops and the families of the fallen. Let the world know that Nigeria’s military is not “the problem”—it is the solution standing between terror and tomorrow. Our troops deserve every prayer, every cheer, every resource we can rally behind them. They are fighting for all of us. And to anyone online who has found themselves liking, sharing, or quietly nodding along to terrorist propaganda those glorifying “jihad,” romanticizing “resistance,” or spreading the lie that these groups are somehow liberators I ask you, with genuine concern, to pause and change your mind. Look past the slogans. These commanders you admire were not freedom fighters; they were men who ordered the slaughter of farmers, the abduction of schoolgirls, and the destruction of entire communities. Every time you amplify their cause, you are helping to recruit the next wave of young men who will die pointlessly or take innocent lives with them. Terrorism does not build nations it burns them. It does not honor God or any higher purposeit profanes them by turning faith into a weapon against the weak. There is still time to choose differently. Delete the propaganda accounts. Stop the whataboutism. Start speaking for the mothers in Borno who want their children to go to school instead of hiding in bushes. Stand with the soldiers who are risking everything so that one day the Northeast can know peace again. A change of heart is not weakness it is the bravest thing a person can do when they realize they’ve been on the wrong side of history. Nigeria is bigger than terror. Our troops are proving it every single day. Let’s stand behind them, not just with words, but with a national resolve that says: enough. The future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy. And right now, the builders are wearing camouflage in the Northeast. Support them. Honor them. And if you’ve been on the fence, step off itonto the side of life.

BREAKING: Bola Ahmed Tinubu Rolls Out ₦11.8 Billion Interest-Free Loan for University Staff — A First in Africa In a major boost for Nigeria’s education sector, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the disbursement of ₦11.8 billion to 6,842 academic and non-academic staff across tertiary institutions under the Staff Support Fund. The initiative, described as the first of its kind in Africa, provides interest-free loans mirroring the structure of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund aimed at easing financial pressure on university workers and improving welfare across campuses. Education stakeholders say the move could significantly impact staff productivity and stability, while reinforcing the administration’s broader push to reposition Nigeria’s higher education system. The Staff Support Fund adds to ongoing reforms in the sector, signaling a continued commitment by the Tinubu administration to support both students and institutional workers.
