Just as gold is refined in 🔥🔥 🔥 to remove impurities, the TON ecosystem must undergo a process of refinement—not destruction. One of the biggest challenges TON faces is the rise

@kenkenlewu *true hero

@kenkenlewu The trap hero in this story is his mother for good guidance. And moreover, the guy trusted his oga, He knows his boss and the business He knows that his boss business was just in a dilemma and that wasn't how his boss will normally behave. That's why he trusted his oga

"My oga settled me with 130K after serving him for 7 years. He told me after 7 years of serving him that things weren't really well for him and he didn't have enough money to settle me. After he settled me and I went to the village, I returned back to my oga's house and served him for another 2 more years, making it 9 years. After I stayed at his place for another 2 years, he took me to Kano and began introducing me to his supplies. He will told the suppliers that I'm his boy and anything I want they should give me on credit, and if I ran away with their money, he would pay. He took me to like 4 shops and introduced me like that. After that journey, those suppliers began supplying me goods, my shop became filled with goods. The first supplier gave me goods of N480K as of years ago, the second one gave me goods of about 200K and the other about 600K. Sometimes it's not the money you are settled with that makes you rich sometimes it's about how you started the journey. Some people said that my returning to my oga's house was a f00lish decision, but if I had stayed in the village that 130K would have finished. Thank God for the wisdom of my mother who asked me to return back to my oga's house...." A Nigerian businessman has recounted how a modest ₦130,000 settlement from his boss turned into a foundation for long-term success.

@Ted_Tolofari @Joe__Bassey Where's Babylon today How's Rome today For every millennium, there's a whole lot of change . I'm the next 50 years, the US we know of as the world power might be the Babylon of years past

@Joe__Bassey It's not to reach, it's to conquer and remain in power. If Africans ever did that, why are they any different now? 🤔

The Greeks and Romans once sat at the feet of the ancient African kings of Kemet, now known as Egypt. Admiration turned to jealousy, then to contempt and invasion. How soon we forget. The Greeks came to Egypt (Kemet) as students to learn what Africans already knew, only to return later to invade, destroy the great libraries, scatter the people, and then the Arabs invaded again. Plato studied in Egypt for 13 years. Pythagoras studied philosophy, geometry, and medicine in Egypt for 22 years. Thales, the first Greek philosopher, studied in Egypt for 7 years. Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, recognized the Egyptian multigenius Imhotep as the true father of medicine. The "Pythagorean Theorem" was used to build the pyramids in Egypt 1,000 years before Pythagoras was born. Plato said Egyptian education makes students more alert and humane. He told his students to go to Egypt if they wanted to deepen their understanding of great philosophers. Herodotus, the Greek historian, described ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization. Never forget.

@U_Rochas @ndekekwe @grok how would China navigate the future without having a strong IP policy?

@U_Rochas @ndekekwe @grok

Last year, a major Chinese institution approached me with a proposal, and it was simple and tempting (included on click): 1. Research Funding: A yearly grant between $180,000 and $280,000 for 2–3 years. 2. Minimal Commitment: Just one hour a week to mentor students and provide updates. 3. Global Exposure: A one-week annual visit or sabbatical in China to engage collaborators. They had studied one of my PhD publications, a body of work patented and partially licensed to the U.S. Government, and wanted me to guide their students in extending that research frontier. On the surface, it looked like a clean path to nearly $600,000 with minimal effort. But beneath the surface, it was a poison pill. Accepting such an offer would violate U.S. scientific-engagement regulations, rules created to protect sensitive intellectual domains. So, out of caution and respect for those boundaries, I declined. (My company is Intel’s only programmable microprocessor knowledge partner in Africa; so the vectors were multidimensional) Yet, this experience is not unique. Every quarter, any serious U.S. technologist receives an inquiry from China. And to escape regulatory pitfalls, many quietly relocate to Hong Kong, where they can collaborate without stepping on U.S. legal landmines. The implication is clear: China is rising, and rising fast. Its universities are overtaking the world’s most prestigious institutions. Today: “Harvard University has fallen to third place in global research rankings, overtaken by China’s Zhejiang University. Eight of the world’s top ten institutions in research output are now Chinese.” — LinkedIn News. Some dismiss this as low-quality output. That is a mistake. Except in ultra-niche semiconductor research, China is now at parity with the West. And companies like BYD, which has leapfrogged Tesla in multiple EV metrics, stand as living evidence that China’s research output is real, applied, and market-validated. Good People, across human history, knowledge has always been the currency of power. Every great empire, from Pharoah's Egypt to Babylon to Rome to the British Empire, rose on the wings of intellectual superiority. If China dominates the world’s knowledge production, it will dominate the world, full stop. This pattern has played out for centuries, and history does not lie. This is looking like the Age of China! tekedia.com/the-age-of-chi…

@skood009 @Rxbremen @iykimo Write the prices in naira and the equivalent prices in dollar (every year with its own exchange rate), petrol price and tax rate for the cement industries

@Rxbremen @iykimo It's too early to celebrate these Dangote price cuts; I worry that after pushing out competitors, the outcome may mirror Dangote cement: imagine a bag costing N10500—that’s the latest price I paid two weeks ago.

I remember when cement prices were going up, and we asked why ? I mean it’s a made in Nigeria commodity why was increase in dollar prices affecting it. They told us many things used in the factory was imported. The only reason for the drop in fuel prices is not because of reduced crude oil price globally, it is because of competition and to drive away the importer. The moment our local producers have control of the market, price would become inelastic. We would all be here.

@skood009 @Rxbremen @iykimo Check your exchange rate first before doing these calculations and speculations Just kindly search this on ChatGPT or any older newspapers Compare the price of cement in Nigeria in 2005 -2009, 2009-2011, 11-13 2013,, 2015 2017,, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025.

“Never shy away to show that you are a Christian, that you follow Christ wherever you are. I've seen people because they want higher places, they tend to hide, shy away from God. Remember, the Lord Jesus said, if you are ashamed of me, when we get there, your name will not be in the book.” —Gen Christopher Musa, Minister of Defense

😳😱"I was in Sokoto today, and after a gruesome hours later, I found myself already in Abuja. By Kolawole Stephen We moved in a convoy of only two Hilux vehicles, each one mounted with an AA gun. When we got to Kwangila Road and stopped for a moment, I looked around and saw a sea of vehicles pulling over with us. At first, I did not understand it. So I asked. That was when someone told me they had been following us since. They were using us as their protection, hoping that our presence alone meant safety. "Eetiz zat bad..." a man said quietly in a diluted English, the kind of tone that carries both fear and acceptance. Some of the passengers sat back in the vehicle, looking forlorn and worried. I walked to some of the drivers and spoke to them. I told them not to stay too close. I told them to give us enough room, enough space to react, enough distance for us to act as a buffer between them and whatever danger came. They nodded. Some smiled weakly. When we continued the journey, I watched them from the wing mirror. All those vehicles… all those families… trailing behind us like we were the last thin line between them and death. I shook my head. Not out of anger. Not out of frustration. But because it reminded me again of the painful truth we already live with in this country. People now follow soldiers the way someone grips a lifeline. And that is not how it should be. ✍️ I cannot save everyone, but these ones… for the time we are together, I promise with every fiber of me, no threat will reach them while I can fight." --- Kolawole Stephen

@Lexy_230 @DavidHundeyin Human psychology never changes

@DavidHundeyin It’s amazing how the US empire uses thesame tactics/script consistently to achieve its imperial result and all the oppressed could have done was to study this script preemptively.

I'll also just put this out there: With time, as America loses its ability to pretend to be the good guy it has spent 60 years pretending to be, and Nigerians finally start waking up from their Deputy-American fever haze in their millions and finally realise that the US government is their biggest enemy on this planet, the US government is going to cultivate a class of Americans of Nigerian descent - who are loyal only to the US - to work as spies, saboteurs, cultural infiltrators and special ops military personnel in Nigeria. This has been done before with US diaspora populations of several Latin American countries, which is where the stereotype surrounding "Miami Cubans" comes from. In the next decade and a half, Nigerians are going to have to contend with a new type of US political, economic, and cultural hitman that looks just like them, understands their culture, wears their clothes, speaks their languages, and may even be among their family members. For those who don't know, following the Cuban Revolution, the group of people who were mobilised by the US government for a military invasion of Cuba (Bay of Pigs) were Cuban-Americans whose loyalty lay with America first and foremost. Nigeria is going to face this EXACT problem. If we make it that far. Just said I should tell you. Good morning.

@DearS_o_n Procrastination

@N8_Heev_Doctor @cex_io How far I think it's time to unpin this post ko

CEX.I0 Power tap from @cex_io a leading exchange, is building it's native token CEXP... But many farmers do not understand or are mining it the wrong way in this S2..❌️ Here's a detailed guide on how to farm it properly✅️ Thank me later😎 You can Send #ZAAR as offering😏

@NigeriaStories That's like 35million naira for a housing unit. That budget friendly not like the NASS budget where 200 million was budget for 1 street light

JUST IN: Jigawa state Government approves N19.6 billion for construction of 560 housing units in the state

@wadataxxx @NigeriaStories It's very nice and budget friendly not like the NASS budget where 1 solar powered street light will cost 200 million naira

@NigeriaStories 35m each

@Horiyourme @winexviv First of all, who is appointed the minister? In the last administration, the minister of education confessed that when he was appointed minister, he didn't even know a single thing about the work he was supposed to do Then ask me who is the present one. Still not an esicationist

@winexviv That wouldn't stop the wreck in the education system. You are looking at the top bro, the foundation is the problem my brother. look at the the % that was allocated to education in the national budget, there in lay your problem.

Minimum qualification to be a teacher in Nigeria should be masters degree, also a minimum of 2:1 in first degree. Their starting salary should be N300k in today’s naira with a brand new car paid by the teacher over the years. Bi-Annual license renewal with continuous training and certification exams should be mandatory. The best should train the coming generations!

@Jidekuje @DrJoeAbah @OgbeniDipo @segalink Can I copy this your post and give our Facebook people, I believe we have more Teachers there than here

Each state should have at least one Research and development centre fully equipped and funded by the respective State Government.We don’t need rocket science to solve our problems.We just need the political will to do the right thing. @DrJoeAbah @OgbeniDipo @segalink @duromadrid

Students with low scores or those who failed to secure the cut off for their preferred choice of course are admitted into the Education faculty and these people make up almost 80% of the current crop of teaching staffs in the the country.

@nextgenthinkin I saw your post earlier on on the state of our educational system. One very simple step that we can take to achieve educational reform is when a true educationist is appointed as minister of education and not some medical doctors, engineers or worse of all a lawyer.

When I see the state of the west and I see the state of Nigeria and then I see how people just throw ideas that are only befitting for the west around as solutions to our indigenous and very peculiar problems, I laugh. What you’re doing is posturing not proffering solutions because do you know there are people who have never seen electricity in their lives in Nigeria?

@FinPlanKaluAja1 But the average Nigerian will still insult you for saying the truth. They will always prioritize the ones imported rather than the domestic grown ones. Since even with the import competition and other factors, the local rice is still cheaper, why not we buy and produce more

1. Nigeria imports rice because local production can't keep up 2. Local rice has a dollar component in fertiliser and other inputs, but the final product at the farmer's gate is cheaper than imported rice 3. Local production of food is the long-term solution. Limited imports address the short-term inflation

@realBasseymoses @Naija_PR 1.4 billion naira Oh God 😱

@Naija_PR Religion is one of our problems, 3,200 pilgrims went to Saudi Arabia to go and pray, what is the result of their prayers to a common man on the street? The number had generated more revenue to the Saudi government

3,200 pilgrims from Sokoto State have received N450,000 each as a Sallah gift from Governor Aliyu.
