What about glaring logical contradictions....eish!!!! #criticalpartanalysis #isimplify

The quality of thoughts, premised on profound ignorance in this clime, is, to say the least, depleting humanity. Mercy, LORD...

The closer you get to the Almighty, the quieter you become. You become less arrogant, more observant, and you do not seek people's validation. Remember, wisdom is silent, arrogance is loud.

Haters are those with low self-esteem. They don’t believe in themselves; so they try to put other people down in a sick way to lift themselves up. Don’t let their criticism and negativity distract you from your goals in life.

As part of the UAE’s long-term plans to prepare future generations for a different future, a new world, and advanced skills, the UAE government today approved the final curriculum to introduce “Artificial Intelligence” as a subject across all stages of government education in the UAE, from kindergarten to grade 12, starting from the next academic year. We appreciate the efforts of the Ministry of Education in developing a comprehensive curriculum, affirming that artificial intelligence will transform the way the world lives. Our goal is to teach our children a deep understanding of AI from a technical perspective, while also fostering their awareness of the ethics of this new technology, enhancing their understanding of its data, algorithms, applications, risks, and its connection to society and life. Our responsibility is to equip our children for a time unlike ours, with conditions different from ours, and with new skills and capabilities that ensure the continued momentum of development and progress in our nation for decades to come.

Jeffrey Sachs just said the quiet part out loud. For real. Listen carefully to his last point. He just told us to our faces that Trump is a King and our Democratic system is in collapse.

I’d be surprised if anyone believed a platform promising 100% monthly returns wouldn’t crash. Ponzi schemes are predictable. There’s only so much SEC can do—they can only act after they become aware. Stay sharp.

"The main characteristic, which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit, is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word." Please ponder. Blessings!

Watching a US high school movie the other day, it struck me that it is the way capitalism works in a society that determines its social hierarchies. And that social order then shapes its value system, not the other way round. The social order among 15 year-old Nigerian kids is identical to those among 15 year-old American kids. But by the time they're 50, it's very different. In a US high school, at the top of the social pyramid are the the popular kids, the "cool kids." The girls who are the prettiest and have cool clothes, the boys who dress well, are good at sports, likeable, have sharp tongues, often have rich parents and are sometimes outright physical bullies. The "nerds" and "weird" kids are at the bottom of the social pyramid of a US high school. This is identical to the social order of a Nigerian secondary school. All the same rules apply. But in America, by the time those kids are in their 30s or 40s, they often switch places in the social order. The nerds and weird kids often do well in the US capitalist environment. They're good at their jobs so get promoted, become writers or artistes or go on to become Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. Then, by sole virtue of their success, they become role models others want to imitate. They influence how the next generation is raised because parents try to prepare their children to become like Bill Gates or Zuckerberg. Meanwhile the cool kids from high school sometimes do well later in life, but almost never become a Gates or a Zuckerberg. Simply because they have usually never put in that level of work and effort into mastering a field or business. So, they usually end up working for a Zuckerberg or Gates as adults and are thus lower than them in the adult American social order. The whole society observes this and takes notes. In Nigeria, on the other hand, the "nerds" and weirdos in secondary school, if they stay in Nigeria, rarely climb up the social order. Because the way capitalism works in their environment means even mastering a field or a business guarantees you nothing. Sometimes, they can be lucky and land a boss or meet a VIP who values their potential and things take off from there. But more often than not, their lack of aggression, cunning, charm or ability to initimidate others works against them in the Nigerian system and they remain where they remained in the secondary school social order. Meanwhile, the kids who dominated in their secondary school in Nigeria, from rich homes, with sharper tongues, more aggressive, more cunning, more amoral, more skilled at demeaning and initimidating others, often remain at the top of the social order in adult life because those skills and qualities continue to be very beneficial in the Nigerian capitalist environment and work world. So they remain the ones parents will even subconsciously try to raise their kids to be like. Because ultimately what parents want is for their kids not to be taken advantage of and to prosper. So they try to raise them to prosper based on what they believe it takes to prosper in the environment they are preparing them for. Not that Nigerian parents consciously teach their kids "bad values," not at all. But kids pick up from parents even non-verbal cues as to how to behave to get ahead. And they listen to their parents speaking to other adults about who prospers in Nigeria and who doesn't. They soak in all this information and adapt their behaviour accordingly. And thus the cycle continues. The result for the society as a whole is not too positive. The Nigerian adult world is dominated by high school bully types, the kids who usually copied off others to pass their exams and who generally try to get the most out of a thing while putting in the least effort. Not being judgmental here, I was quite lazy in secondary school myself, I must admit. Ultimately, if Nigeria's version of largely crony capitalism continues to work the way it does, the society's adult social order will continue to resemble what it does. Forget the bad example yahoo yahoo boys and co give, that is another issue on its own. We're talking about even the way the "legit" world of business, politics and other industries work in the country, the kind of people who (usually) end up on top. Personal relationships usually trump any meritocratic ideals, which is also probably one of the reasons why the economy itself is so unproductive, and the human potential we keep talking about is simply not being utilized.

What people think of you doesn’t matter. Focus on pleasing the Almighty. Do things for His sake. Your world will not only become much brighter, you’ll have better focus and outlook overall.

A heart full of hatred or corruption or ethnicity can only be creative in badness, evil and the likes. Please ponder. Thank you.

@eboayodeji Congratulations, sir.🎊

🎓 Officially Dr.! 🎓 I humbly announce that I have successfully earned my Ph.D. in Energy Finance from the prestigious University of Ibadan. I am deeply grateful to God for making this possible. 🙏

@Pres_Adebayo greetings, sir! Followed your exposè on Focus Nigeria this morning. Is it possible to open your DM as I want to share something with you, sir? Sorry, I am an audience of one person hence my request, please. Thanks.

@akinfadeyi1 @yabaleftonline @Tundeakanji2 Didactic, Bro! More grace, amen.

@yabaleftonline @Tundeakanji2 Your Husband is as valuable today as your father has been while raising you to become the woman your husband admires. In that case, tell both of them you don’t want your two love-worlds to drift apart and that until they settle, you won’t move either ways. They will settle.

Ehn fine girl?

Earlier today, I had a media chat where I announced over 10 policy measures backed with data that will go into effect immediately to aid our residents during these challenging times. From flexible work policies for public servants to subsidy on government owned transportation channels to elements of free healthcare for certain key areas to launching affordable market spaces, every step is designed to uplift every Lagosian. Let me share a bit more… First, we are introducing a 3-day work week for Levels 1-13 civil servants, this measure aims to provide relief and flexibility reflecting our commitment to the workforce's well-being. We are also implementing a 25% reduction on transport services for the State Public Transport system (BRT, Train, Ferry), putting back over ₦500 million monthly into the pockets of Lagosians. With the Red Line Rail about to be launched, there will be a lot more options for our residents. We are also in discussions with various unions to reduce their own fares, and we will announce any new developments. To address rising food prices, we will be opening Sunday Markets across 42 identified markets across the state to sell food items at really affordable rates. Lagosians will be able to buy commodities, not above the N25,000 threshold. We aim to serve over 500,000 Lagosians with essential food items at rates that defy inflation. Four more food hubs are under construction and seven other locations in other LGAs have also been identified for more food hubs to be developed. Our healthcare initiatives are set to benefit over 50,000 women annually with free childbirth services across the State’s General Hospitals and secondary health facilities, alongside distributing free hypertensive medications to individuals in need. In our quest for a safer Lagos, over 200 unsafe structures have been demolished, prioritizing the safety of over 1 million residents. Major changes have happened at Obalende, Oshodi, Agege, Ijora and other areas. Our commitment to law and order is unwavering, ensuring a lawful and secure environment for all. I am a big advocate for state policing and the Lagos Neighbourhood Agency has over 5000 officers and I have given approval for more to be employed. If the Federal Government approves full state policing, we will be ready to deploy 10,000 men with more training. With the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority resolving over 1,000 tenant-landlord disputes, we continue to stand by the rights of our residents. We're dedicated to ensuring fairness in housing for every Lagosian especially during these times. On road infrastructure, we are set to start work on 180 inner roads across the various local government areas. This will be undertaken by our empowered council chairmen and they will fix 120 roads concurrently. The State Government will support this effort by rehabilitating 60 inner roads. On the 4th Mainland Bridge, groundbreaking will be done in April signifying our relentless pursuit of progress. This monumental project will not only improve connectivity but also drive economic growth, marking a historic milestone for Lagos. It will be done in phases and I will continue to give timely updates. On our partnerships with other states, we are working on improving collaboration with the Ogun State Government on various projects including taking up the stalled construction project especially from Sango area. We have also secured 500 hectares of land in Ogun State, to grow rice. Already, the Red Line has entered Ogun State, and we are discussing ways to do more extensions. We are also always supportive of the Oyo State Government like with the recent unfortunate disaster where we provided material and expertise to achieve faster resolution. This is the time for all of us to come together as brothers and sisters as we creatively find ways to thrive during this period. I will continue to provide updates as we come up with more solutions.
