ALL my most successful Trades I opened based on my Intuition, not Technical Analysis. You may call that stupid, that I “feel”. But the 10 year track record proofs me right. Saying this in a humble manner, knowing I can still get fk’d anytime with this 😂

🇮🇷🇱🇧🇮🇱 In 60 days of war, Israel recorded 9,293 missile/drone alerts. One every 9 minutes, around the clock. That's a 23% higher alert frequency than during the entire 12-day Israel-Iran war in 2023. Since Iran's ceasefire kicked in on April 8th, the pace has dropped by nearly half. One alert every 17 minutes now, mostly smaller in scale. The data also shows a clear pattern: nights were almost twice as active as afternoons. A Lebanon ceasefire just came into effect today. On paper, the alerts stop here. Source: Rerum Novarum

Habits That Can Frustrate Your Growth on X 1. Chasing “bangers” in every post You don’t decide what goes viral, the algorithm does. Sometimes the casual post you didn’t expect much from is the one that takes off. Focus on consistency, not chasing hits. 2. Envying other accounts Why envy someone behind a keyboard? Bitterness and comparison slow you down. Channel that energy into improving your own content. 3. Inconsistent activity (“On and off like NEPA light”) Posting today and disappearing for four days won’t help. Consistency always wins. 4. Camping under big accounts Engaging with large accounts is fine, but don’t neglect your own page. Create time to build your own presence. 5. Tweeting only what you understand If your posts are too cryptic, people won’t connect. Aim for relatable content that others can engage with.

May our day be illuminated by love, peace, victories in our struggles and a total recovery of our loses by the grace and authority of the most high God, amen. Have a blessed and prosperous Fruday. Good morning. What do you wish for today?

To understand MRAPs, you have to zoom out; The same audit panel that reviewed military spending (2007–2015) found: Contracts awarded without due process. Vendors lacking competence. Massive price inflation and fraud patterns. A striking example: Used helicopters were bought for $136.9 million, when a brand new version cost about $30 million. Now connect that mindset to MRAPs: Even if those MRAPs themselves were donated, the ecosystem handling them operates under the same procurement culture. The U.S. valued some MRAP donations at around $18 million for 32 units, but here’s the trick: That valuation is often book value, not market value. Many were decommissioned or excess equipment so: Nigeria receives aging equipment Then spends heavily to make them usable. This creates a perception gap: “We received $18m worth of equipment” vs “We inherited a maintenance liability”

This story is one of many that I'll be sharing, to drive a particular kind of awareness on the rot in our defense procurements. From the archives: July 2016: The US government donated USED 24 Mine-Resistant Armour Protected (MRAP) vehicles to the Nigerian military, as part of its commitment to the fight against insurgency. The used vehicles, valued at N2.2 billion ($11 million), were officially presented to the army in Lagos a Thursday by Patrick Doyle, representative of the US government. “As part of the continuing support from United States to the government, and the people of Nigeria to defeat Boko Haram, I am proud to stand here today as the representative of the US secretary of defence, Ashton Carter, and commander and the representative of the US Africa command, General David Rodriguez, to present the donation of this 24 Mine-Resistant Armor-Protected (MRAP) vehicles to the Nigerian army,” Doyle said. He added that the equipment needed to be serviced and fixed with good spare parts before they could start operating. “The repairs of the vehicle is up to the Nigerian government to do; they can repair them on their own if they have the facility to do that, but of course, the spare parts are very particular to this vehicle and we have been in discussion with the army previously and we are working out the modalities of how we will get those parts to them. “They will have to order those parts from the United States and we will work out those conditions. “Nigeria is also in the process of receiving eight more of this vehicle through the same programme, which is called the excess defence article program, designed to transfer excess US military equipment to partner nation. “We will work for even more opportunity to utilise this programme in support of Nigerian effort in the north-east in the future. The 24 vehicles cost $11million, the other eight cost $7.4 million.” The next post will come as a quote of this initial post. Walk with me...
