I don't fit in. Never did. Never wanted to.

Before Erik ten Hag was sacked, Manchester United were in 14th place in the Premier League. I think some of you are forgetting that Ruben Amorim was 5th before he got sacked, just because he called out the board and demanded better players. And wait some of you were expecting Rúben Amorim to perform miracles with that same set of players? The system he instilled in these players is now completely gone they’ve gone back to playing individual football and relying on individual brilliance to win games.

You cannot beat 10 man Newcastle. You couldn’t beat a relegation threatened West ham. You cannot beat another relegation threatened Leeds. But “ if we sacked Amorim after the Grimbsy game we would have won the league” Manchester fans and Arsenal fans I don’t know the fanbase who are the most delusional.

They didn’t sack him because he failed. They sacked him because he asked for more. He wanted a midfielder. He challenged the people above him. He tried to fix the foundation. And that’s where it ended. After all the work he had already done: Cleared the deadwood. Raised the standard. Started building a real system. For the first time in a while… you could actually SEE where this was going. But this club doesn’t do patience. It doesn’t do long-term thinking. It panics. Quick fixes. Short-term decisions. Same cycle. Some fans still don’t understand what a rebuild looks like. You don’t judge progress halfway through it. Now we’ve reset everything again. And we’ll act surprised when nothing changes.

The love of money is the root of all evil. When you think deeply about everything that happens in the world, in all walks of life - you will see how true that statement is and how it comes alive and become flesh. The Bible got it spot on.

So China was the first to carry 2 million barrels of Iranian oil and break the US blockade.

You all will dislike the new set of men you created.

Chinese ship never said anything. Despite US naval warnings, it just continued to sail. US could do nothing. I told yesterday that US naval blockade will not work. It is no longer a unipolar world. It's multipolar now. US can no longer set terms unilaterally for the world. In the coming few years, there would be huge remaking of world order. China alone is sufficient to provide lifeline to Iran. I expect Russia also to do so. These two countries are now equal to US in stature, power and influence. US is no longer even first among equals. Though China is not a reliable or dependable neighbour for India, we should take a cue to become as powerful like them.

I went to this hospital at Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja Lagos I wanted to see the gynecologist. I paid for registration, 23,766 Paid for consultation, 119,000 Paid for tests close to 350k (it was about three hundred and forty something) Minus my T.fare o Now after close to a month, my results are ready. Oya o, tell me what the tests says. NO, I HAVE TO PAY 64,000 FIRST before the gynecologist can interpret what my tests says. I almost lost it with them! They said it's the policy. And frankly i don't have 64k to pay for tests interpretation. I told them to send the results to my mail. I'm so heartbroken and disappointed.

Nuclear Iran would bring stability to the region by keeping Israel in check.

Lagos Badagry expressway has been under construction since I wrote WAEC in 2006.

It wasn't the Warplanes themselves that prevented the Iranian delegation from being shot down by Israel. It was the fact that the warplanes belonged to Pakistan. What does Pakistan have? Nuclear weapons.

🇵🇾 Meanwhile in Paraguay, a striker missed a penalty and an opposition defender booted the ball, hitting the striker in the face & the ball went into the net.🤣👏

A woman investing in her husband, her children, and her household is doing work no office can rival.

LMAO they really think we've been getting paid all this while😂😂😂 I got 2 payouts from 2023 - early 2024. As soon as I began criticising US foreign policy, Twitter stopped paying me entirely. I just never complained because I disagree with monetisation in the first place.

A Nigerian fintech founder raised $2M, built a slick app, onboarded 40,000 users. Then CBN, NDPC, and FCCPC came knocking at the same time. He had no licence. no DPO. no KYC tier structure. no breach policy. The company didn’t survive 2024. Here’s every rule you must know before you build:

The strongest marriages are not built by two people obsessed with fairness. They are built by two people obsessed with duty.

Being betrayed by a black coworker in a white space hits different.😭

Every engineer I know has asked this at some point: "How deep should I actually go?" According to me, the decision to go deep down the rabbit hole comes down to two things: 1. curiosity - what genuinely pulls you in 2. career direction - where you want to be in the next 2/3 years, not where the internet says you should be My honest take: depth works best when it serves at least one of those. Ideally, both. If something aligns with your career direction, going deep is an obvious win. One simple way to test this is to think in 2/3 year windows and ask yourself: Does understanding this layer actually move me closer to where I want to be? If you are building web apps, you do not need to master CPU instruction sets. If you are working on databases, B-tree internals matter far more than knowing every Linux kernel detail. Context changes what "deep" really means. Abstraction layers exist for a reason. They let you build without getting overwhelmed. A frontend engineer who understands HTTP is usually more valuable than one who has memorized TCP packet headers but struggles to ship features. If something does not align with your career direction, curiosity still matters. Learning out of pure interest is not wasted time. You do it because it optimizes for motivation, long-term learning, and happiness. What does not make much sense is going deep in areas that serve neither curiosity nor direction - often driven by comparison or fear. So keep checking in with yourself. Ask questions. Course-correct often. Depth is most powerful when it is intentional.

Men, Don't marry until you know this: 1. Love fades without respect, respect must always come first. 2. Money secrets destroy marriages faster than infidelity. 3. Attraction matters, but shared values keep you together for life. 4. Never involve outsiders in your fights, privacy protects trust. 5. Physical intimacy is not optional, it's the glue of marriage. 6. Ego kills faster than mistakes, learn to say sorry first. 7. Marriage doesn't fix your wounds, heal yourself before you commit.
