Sycophancy is when they feel compelled to use the FULL title of the man in every reference to him, with extra augmentations. Americans would simply say "President Trump"; at most, they'd say "the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump." Left to Nigerians, he'd be addressed as "His Excellency, President Donald John Trump, President of the 50 United States and Overseas Territories and Commander-in-Chief of the Air, Land, Sea and Space Forces of the United States of America..." 🤡 When the substance is lacking, the title gets inflated to compensate. That's one way to spot sycophancy from afar.

@Ol0ye I heard that today for the first time.

When did we start eating camel?

@FrUgochukwu Only if the priests in Nigeria especially will listen.

As a priest, I deeply resonate with this teaching of Pope Leo at his today's General Audience. The Holy Mass is not a private possession of any celebrant; it is the public worship of the Church. I am often uneasy whenever the texts of the liturgy are altered, added to, or reduced at personal discretion. The Church, in her wisdom over centuries, has given us the words of the Mass for a reason. If every priest begins to insert personal preferences, the result is not creativity but confusion, and ultimately a wound to ecclesial communion. For me, fidelity to the rubrics is not rigidity; it is humility before the mystery we did not create.

Today, the NDC Aspirants Screening Committee completed its work. The Gov. Sam Egwu-led panel wrapped up its work seamlessly in six days and submitted its report to the NDC leadership. It was an honour to serve on the 17-man panel. Now, the party primaries follows nationwide for all concernned.

@CfcDan_01 Ashley Cole did.

To this day, we still don’t know who assisted Torres 😂

@arrakunrin Stress and fatigue. Sometimes, just drop everything and rest your head for a while.

I turned on the gen earlier this evening. Fuel finished and I went to buy fuel. I got back and there was light. I entered my apartment and turned on the light but it wasn’t coming on. I wondered what went wrong but I couldn’t figure it out so I thought it was an electrical problem. I turned on the gen, hoping to tackle the light thing tomorrow. Y’all, I don sit down for like 20 minutes BEFORE I REALIZED THAT I DIDN’T CHANGE OVER FROM GEN TO NEPA WHEN I INITIALLY GOT BACK😭😭

@bigOracle_ Forget the nosey neighbours. You should be far more concerned with the quality of our balcony railings. The two both of you will end up plastered in flesh and blood on the interlocked floor down stairs. 💀

@Awkaboy001 @HarmlessHQ Ohhh chim!

@HarmlessHQ Peter obi was impeached once sha, he left office the second time due to 2007 Governorship election won by Andy Uba which the Supreme court of Nigeria Nullified and Obi returned

When I see the way Tinubu and Wike are threatening Fubara every minute with impeachment. I begin to respect Peter Obi more. Peter Obi entered Anambra through APGA in a PDP dominated house of assembly. They impeached him the first time, he won them and returned back to power. They impeached him the second time and he still won them and completed his 8 years. I don't think these set of governors have such balls, even the 1999 set of governors do not have such capacity.

Wahala

@Esteembehemoth @Mohayatudeen Are you the opposition lawyer to come up with this claim of it being peaceful?

@Mohayatudeen Why on earth have you descended to this level to discredit a process that has largely been peaceful and transparent? What sort of sweeping allegation is this that lacks any form of specificity? Is this why you came late to the party so you can destroy it from within?

I will not be attending the announcement of the ADC Presidential Election Results today. I am concerned by reports from across the country of widespread vote rigging, some of which I myself observed, and will therefore be taking advice on my next steps.

@Osi_Suave Try bringing down the whole plate rack

I broke a mug yesterday in my kitchen and I just swept it up and kept it moving. And I wonder why our parents made so much fuss about breaking things when we were growing up.

@symplyDAPO The badge is tainted already by idiots who have no use for football. If they all want to leave then you're the problem. We have never had players dying to leave our club until these idiots took over.

João Pedro wants to leave for Barcelona, let him go. Enzo Fernández wants to leave for Real Madrid, let him go. Marc Cucurella wants to leave for Barcelona, let him go. Cole Palmer wants to leave for Man City, let him go. We don't need people who don't want to play for the badge anymore

@Oolah_Ola @asemota @molarawood I think it's fair if she doesn't assume it was about mistrust. It's natural for people to feel that way, especially when there's no quarrel.

@asemota @molarawood That's why I smiled when I started reading think pieces. Some hailing Genevieve 🤣🤣🤣🤣 issokay ooo

She razzed out and was extremely rude to me once, in an airport lounge in front of many people, ordered me to sit down, loudly, all because of a fair point in a review I once wrote about a play she way in. She has never apologized, and I have never forgiven. I'm with Genevieve.

It's natural to feel this way. But you can't assume openly, especially on air, it was about her having some kind of mistrust about you. If there was no quarrel prior to this time, just move on.

@OneJoblessBoy The roots are your family.

❝We grew apart. Maybe she had some kind of mistrust about me... I don't know what happened. I don't know what came over her.❞ Kate Henshaw speaks about the evolution of her relationship with Genevieve Nnaji.

@frankedoho @Nobsdaslushhkid 22yrs of empty cabinet. Let them breathe a bit for now. Arsenal fans, this is just the first test of Champions. You are not yet in the league of champions for now.

Final day of the EPL, I walked into the den of the enemy to see them lift the Trophy in 22 years. They blew their horns in mockery and booed their mouths in spite for Chelsea FC. I was stoic, unmoved and unscathed. Chelsea Presido for a reason!😎💙 Congratulations, Red foes!

A note before I start. I am Catholic, and the Papal encyclical I reference shapes how I read this moment. I am not asking anyone to share my opinions or my beliefs. I am explaining how I see things. The Pope just preserved many jobs and created many new job openings through the conversation around the encyclical - Magnifica Humanitas, his first encyclical. It is long, and I am still reading it. The line that stays with me is his predecessor Leo XIII's response to objections that the Church should focus on eternal life rather than worldly matters. He said the proclamation of the Gospel cannot overlook the concrete lives of people. Leo XIV is making the same argument now, about AI. I once had to give a presentation on behalf of the Nigerian Society for Corporate Governance to an audience of Nigerian directors and senior management in 2024. They were not fully sold on the impact of AI. A lot has changed in two years. The transformative effect of AI will be felt not just in this era but for generations. The Church is worried for good reason. AI could alter the nature of society itself. AI Ethics and Governance have moved from "nice to have" afterthoughts to imperatives if societies and organizations are going to survive and thrive. AI is shifting from a productivity tool to an adversarial and manipulative product. Someone wrote this on Twitter: "Gunpowder used to be for entertainment, then it was used to kill. Drones used to be for entertainment, then they were used to kill. AI is used for entertainment." Even in corporations, when AI is positioned as an augmentation tool rather than a means of labor replacement, organizations fail when they measure adoption rather than outcomes. Several large enterprise coding tool rollouts this year have shown exactly this pattern. As the encyclical insists, the priority is to build a more human society rather than allow a few powerful people to use AI to destroy the social fabric we once knew. The global policy contrast is now sharp. Chinese courts have begun ruling that companies cannot terminate employees solely to replace them with AI, though the mechanism is driven more by state direction than by worker dignity. The United States has no coherent worker doctrine, and its major AI labs are priced as if labor displacement is the business model. Europe has a doctrine but no platforms at scale. Africa has neither. Africa has the largest number of young people entering the job market globally. Yet conversations and policies on the impact of AI on Africa and African jobs are still not taken seriously at the highest levels. The African Union's continental AI strategy has existed on paper since 2024, but most member states have not operationalized it. Meanwhile, the slavery already inside the AI supply chain is African. Kenyan data workers sued OpenAI in 2023 over content moderation conditions that left some with diagnosed PTSD. Documented data labeling rates across the continent have been reported well below local minimum wages. The harms are not theoretical or future; they are here. The goal should be to improve our societies by creating greater abundance for everyone. That means both increased capacity and full employment. They are not mutually exclusive. Africa needs both. Three things make the math in Africa different from that in the West. Demand is not saturated; it is suppressed. The continent has doctor-to-patient ratios at fractions of WHO minimums, class sizes that swallow up learning, agricultural extension reach in single digits, and legal services most adults will never access. We have major problems with scale and access. Many of the processes and workstreams needed in Africa to create more employment have yet to be developed. There is no scaled health insurance infrastructure to disrupt in most countries, no mass legal services market to compress, no formalized tutoring industry to replace. The demographic math runs the opposite way from the West. Africa is adding roughly fifteen to twenty million people to the workforce every year through 2050. Aging Europe needs AI to cover work that fewer workers can do. Young Africa needs AI to create the work that more workers want to do. This will also help rebalance the migration equation. The thesis, however, holds only if the value capture is local. If foreign AI platforms serve African demand without local workforce participation, capacity expands, but employment does not. You get extraction, not absorption. Closing that gap requires policy. Local data sovereignty. Local language coverage as a structural moat. Regulatory requirements that AI deployment include local workforce participation. This is why the doctrine gap matters more than the platform gap, and why the policy work has to start now rather than later. The narrow goal of profitability, which treats humans as expendable tools, is not the model we should import. This should be our priority in Africa, and we should be actively working towards how these new technologies can help us achieve it. The encyclical gives that work cover. The Catholic church is a major global institution lending its voice to this debate. The question is whether the continent's boardrooms, capitals, and policy desks will pick it up.

@iykimo 1, 3, 40, 50, 1000,...... We have seen how the great politicians have made our lives better.

Those of you that don't want to face the reality of Naija politics will be in the opposition for the next 30 years. Add 30 years to your current age

I HAVE BEEN ARRESTED!

@Dr_Clandestine Some clowns are still questioning his reason for leaving. I believe they can see the reason now.

Total registered: 765 Total accredited: 760 Total valid votes: 760 Atiku Abubakar: 740 Rotimi Amaechi: 15 Hayatudeen: 2 How do you claim a 99.34% turnout in a primary election and expect anyone to take you seriously? What's the difference with APC? Glad Peter Obi vamoosed in time.
