I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."
The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.
When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."
Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.
When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.
I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.
The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."
I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."
Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.
Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."
I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."
They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."
I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

🚨 Désiré Doué on Roberto Firmino:
🗣️ “Growing up, Roberto Firmino was one of my favourite players to watch at Liverpool F.C..
People always talk about goals and assists, but Firmino was different he made football look intelligent and beautiful at the same time.
The movement, the link-up play, the creativity, the way he sacrificed himself for the team… he made everyone around him better.
That Liverpool front three was terrifying for Europe, and Firmino was the brain of it all.
As a young player, watching him taught me that football is not only about skills or statistics, it’s also about understanding space, helping teammates, and playing with joy.
Honestly, he inspired a whole generation of attacking players.”

Earlier today, President John Dramani Mahama assented to the bill establishing the Office for Value for Money.
This office will help stop the inflation and padding of contracts, strengthen accountability, and ensure that the Ghanaian taxpayer gets real value for every pesewa spent.
The Office for Value for Money will pay for itself through the savings it will generate by reducing wasteful expenditure and improving efficiency in public procurement.
Most importantly, it will create fiscal space that can be redirected into critical sectors of the economy, including infrastructure, health, education, and social protection.
This is another important step in our efforts to strengthen public financial management, protect public resources, and ensure fiscal discipline.
