@freekmurze Love this 😍😍

🚀 We just released spatie/piper, a pipe operator-first utility library for #PHP. It ports many of Laravel's array helpers as standalone functions, designed to flow through the new |> operator in PHP 8.5.

Did you know you can build real FULLY NATIVE Mobile apps with @official_php ? Check out what's coming soon from @nativephp ... 👀

@educatedtug01 Guilty as charged 😂 😂

Have you ever saved a contact as ‘Aaaa’ just to check them on WhatsApp? 😂

@leograph3r 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 power!!

I tried shooting content today, and all I can say is, "content creators, una de try 😭😭😂😂"

@cosmastech @taylorotwell @dillon_mulroy Would have loved the interface to be named 'CanBeResumed' and then the trait named 'Resumable' then to avoid that suffix

PR is finally live. github.com/laravel/framew… I haven't coded by hand this much in many months. It feels good. Fingers crossed @taylorotwell sets aside 4 or 5 hours to review this 😅 would be a cool feature to demo at Laracon Thanks @dillon_mulroy for the on-stream review too 🙇‍♂️

@__zuggy Father Lord, in your mercy, ignore this fervent prayer. We pray you O Lord!

Father Lord, before Wednesday In Jesus Name.

@CrownedTreasure I legit had to scroll for minutes before I saw comments 🤧🤧🤧🤧

I once wrote a script for a Nollywood director in Enugu and had the opportunity to be on set. Let me tell you plainly, those romantic scenes are far from comfortable for the actors. I watched one of our biggest legends rush off immediately after a scene just to wash her mouth. But when you see the final movie, you’d think she was completely at ease, even enjoying it. That’s acting. That’s professionalism. So when I see people dragging these actors, calling them names over such scenes, it honestly makes me cringe. You have to be out of touch to think they’re having a good time, especially when you consider the number of crew members standing around during filming. Nigerians really need to do better. Imagine trying to tear someone down or campaign against them simply because of a role they played. Give these actors some credit. What they do isn’t easy.

But it could mean portable handfans oo 😂

@benjamincrozat Oh God 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♂️. So sorry man. May her soul rest in peace 🙏🙏. Take heart man. I pray for the strength and fortitude to bear this loss and continue her legacy with your kids

I want to share this with you people. I just lost my fiancée during childbirth. I miss her a lot of I love her with all my heart. I'm devastated and crying all the time. But I'll find the strength to raise our children the way she wanted to. I have a lot of support from family and friends.

FORMAL REBUTTAL STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY OF ABDULSAMAD JAMIU (DECEASED) In Response to the HQ Nigerian Army Official Account of Events of 25th April 2026 Incident Location: Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory Victim: Abdulsamad Jamiu, Male, 24 Years of Age Date of Statement: 26th April 2026 PRELIMINARY NOTE This statement is issued on behalf of the immediate family of the late Abdulsamad Jamiu, who was killed in the early hours of Saturday, 25th April 2026, at his residence in Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja. It is issued in direct and formal response to the account of events published by the Nigerian Military, which the family, supported by physical evidence, witness testimony, and the military’s own partial admissions, categorically rejects as false, misleading, and an affront to the memory of an innocent young man. The family is not issuing this statement in anger alone. They are issuing it in the interest of truth, accountability, and the rule of law — values which the Nigerian Military, as an institution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is constitutionally obligated to uphold. SECTION I: ESTABLISHED FACTS The following facts are not in dispute and form the foundation of this rebuttal: 1. At approximately 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, 25th April 2026, personnel of the Nigerian Military entered the residential premises of the Jamiu family at Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja. 2. At the time of the incident, Abdulsamad Jamiu, aged 24 years, was present inside his room within the family residence. His sister was also present in the house. Their parents were absent, having travelled to Okene to attend a burial ceremony. 3. Nigerian Military personnel discharged a firearm at close range through the door of Abdulsamad’s room. The shot struck Abdulsamad Jamiu in the head, killing him instantly. 4. The trajectory of the bullet — confirmed by physical examination of the bullet hole, which runs from the room door to the wall of the room — conclusively establishes that the shot was fired from outside the room, through the closed door, into the room where Abdulsamad Jamiu was situated. 5. On hearing the gunshot, Abdulsamad’s sister rushed downstairs, whereupon she was instructed by the soldiers present to go outside and “calm down.” 6. Neighbours who heard the gunshot contacted the community vigilante group. Upon their arrival, vigilante members were instructed by the military personnel to mop up the blood and flush it — a directive which, in itself, raises grave questions about the military’s intent to preserve an evidence-intact crime scene. 7. The body of Abdulsamad Jamiu was subsequently conveyed to Kubwa General Hospital by the police, who had arrived at the scene. The family was compelled to endure hours of statements and administrative paperwork before being granted access to retrieve their son’s remains for burial. 8. The military personnel present at the scene, when confronted by the family regarding the killing of their son, acknowledged that the shooting of Abdulsamad Jamiu was a mistake and that they had killed an innocent person. This acknowledgement was made in the presence of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and was recorded in a written statement. SECTION II: THE MILITARY’S ACCOUNT AND ITS SPECIFIC CONTRADICTIONS The Nigerian Military has publicly claimed that its personnel were engaged in active pursuit of armed robbers and that the fatal shooting of Abdulsamad Jamiu occurred in the course of an exchange of gunfire. The family rejects this account in its entirety and presents the following point-by-point rebuttal, each supported by verifiable evidence or the absence of evidence where the military bears the burden of proof: Ground 1: The Physical Evidence Disproves an “Exchange of Gunfire” The military’s claim of an exchange of gunfire is irreconcilable with the physical evidence present at the scene.

@__zuggy @clevabanking You're welcome ✌🏽 ✌🏽

@CodeWithKyrian @clevabanking Corper weeeee😂😂 Thank you Kyrian

I did a funny little private experiment and noticed that even here in the East, when we see little children and want to speak to them, many of us automatically switch to English like "How are you?", "Say thank you", "what class are you in", "what's your name?", and all that. I got the same result even with Igbo folks who comfortably speak Igbo with other adults and among themselves, but once it's a child, it's English. How else will the kids learn? Speak to them from tender ages. Even when they’re 1 or 2. Even baby talk. When consoling them, correcting them, playing with them… speak to them. Igbo may be hard to learn later, but it’s easy to absorb when the brain is still super super absorbent. When you keep addressing them in English, but discuss with your wife, husband or siblings in Igbo, they won’t magically just learn. They won’t. I’ve seen a very traditional man in our Umunna whom I respect so much because he knows the culture deeply and speaks in Igbo proverbs. The first day his first son came for meeting and I discovered this grown man couldn’t speak Igbo...and his father could only address him in English...I was so so ashamed on his behalf. Ndi be anyi bikonu… do do do… subaranu umu unu Igbo. Be intentional about it please.

Like how do you grow in Onitsha...for frigging Upper Iweka, and your children can't speak Igbo cos you want the to be posh?? Ifere megbukwaa unu

@Urchilla01 @CJayFenty Hoha!

@CJayFenty Ị na-ekwulu onwe gị

Even while this is true, nwanyị ọcha does not deserve the vitriol that she gets whenever she posts about Igbo customs and traditions That woman came in and has respected everything about Ala Igbo, has carried the customs and traditions as hers, has made sure to raise proper Igbo children who will never feel out of place in their home. Because she encouraged Igbo people to teach their children about their language, customs, traditions, and home is why she's getting so hardly bashed? This round of vitriol was, once again, led by foolish women whose only affiliation to Igbo is that they bear Igbo names. Other than that, you'll never see or hear them positively promote Igbo land and traditions. The only time they talk about Igbo land and our customs and traditions is when they want to spit on their forefathers. As far as I'm concerned, nwanyị ọcha will ALWAYS be MORE IGBO than those vagabonds
