Insane. Saw this on LinkedIn. Would’ve ordered from my school library but I don’t want to enforce stereotypes by leaving the trace there. Omo.

You are far more dangerous to your startup than competitors are. A hundred times more startups die from poor execution by their founders than are killed by competitors.

“Elections are rigged in Nigeria because Nigerians want it to be rigged. I will do whatever is possible to protect votes come 2027 election, but it is now left for Nigerians to decide if their votes will count. Because if you vote and stay in your polling unit and insist your votes must count, it will be counted. But some Nigerians would rather vote and go home, then hours later go to night vigil to start praying, because they think they are the only ones God created. The problem of Nigeria is leadership”. -Mr. Peter Obi, NDC presidential candidate on his recent visit to Washington, D.C.

2026 World Cup update; First goal conceded: 🇿🇦 Second goal conceded: 🇿🇦 First error leading to goal: 🇿🇦 First red card: 🇿🇦 Second red card: 🇿🇦 First L: 🇿🇦 First team to not score: 🇿🇦 Somebody shout Amapiano

If you’re not willing to sacrifice your sleep schedule for the World Cup then you’re simply not taking advantage of your one life on earth

The DR Congo arrival fits are pure aura.

Thank you my president. For a football crazed country of 200 million naturally athletic people to not be able to find 11 men to get us into the world cup twice in a row despite the expansion to 10 African teams points directly to a leadership failure. We need a leader who will lead by example and demand accountability for failings like this that pervades every single sector. You're exactly the man for the job.

RT @ayanyx: 8yr old niece just said there’s a country in the world cup called “doctor congo”

Again, this is unacceptable.

As Africans, we MUST reject crumbs and call out institutional racism. This announcement is damage control. Half bread is not better than nothing when full bread is deserved. One of the best referees in the world cannot be treated like that. Speak up and speak out!

Hey Pope, you live in Europe. It’s called football.

Welcome home ❤️

The most important component of writing clearly is simply to have high standards for clarity. Then if you write something unclear, you notice, and ask: what did I mean to say? You can just keep doing this over and over. And if you have high standards for clarity, you will.

A college student with ADHD once explained why their essays end up filled with so many parentheses: “Neurotypical people think in straight lines. My brain thinks in a giant web where every single concept is physically holding hands with twelve other concepts.” In other words, their thoughts don’t unfold in a neat, step-by-step sequence. Instead, one idea immediately triggers several related ideas at once. While writing, it can feel impossible to ignore those connections because they all feel relevant and important, even if they branch off from the main point. Parentheses become a way to temporarily “park” those side thoughts without losing them. So the essay ends up reflecting the actual structure of their thinking: layered, branching, and constantly interlinked. What looks messy on the page is really an attempt to capture a mind that doesn’t move in a straight line, but in a network where everything is connected to everything else.

what the fuck is this company doing bro

Whoever told me the ADHD hack of putting the directions into GPS and leaving it up while you get ready to watch the arrival time, you are a genius and a lifesaver. Actual game changing ADHD advice

I believe one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary beyond reading books is to watch movies. Not just any movies, but movies with depth, movies that care about language, movies that have something meaningful to say. I cannot count the number of rich words and phrases I picked up while watching Black Bag. It felt as though every scene required me to pause, look up a word or phrase, then continue watching. I am currently watching Slow Horses and I have found myself exposed to an entirely different set of words, particularly British expressions and slang. The trick, however, is that hearing a word once is rarely enough to incorporate it into your vocabulary. You have to actually use it. For example, I recently came across the phrase “hair of the dog,” which refers to drinking alcohol to cure a hangover. A friend mentioned having a hangover yesterday, so I deliberately worked the phrase into our conversation. Even writing about it now further reinforces it in my mind. I have found that vocabulary grows fastest when words move from passive recognition to active use. If you’re looking to expand your vocabulary, it is a habit worth cultivating.

There is no nationwide police mobilization. No MOPOL deployments, no state of emergency on kidnap for ransom. It’s barely even an election topic. No one is worried about losing votes. All while every city and every corner of the country is experiencing daily kidnaps. The IG of police is not even stressed. Police are still collecting money at checkpoints. We really are not angry enough.

Probably the best thing I did to accelerate my rate of learning after my mid-30s was to drop hierarchical thinking when choosing who to learn from. Easily 10x’ed my rate of learning. I have since realized that, for talented high achievers, hierarchical thinking is the biggest barrier to mastery of their craft. Most people don’t consciously think about it, but it’s always there. They decide who is worthy to learn from and who isn’t. They only learn from people they “look up to”. And your look-up-to group shrinks in size as you achieve more success yourself, so you deprive yourself of the great opportunity available to you: you can learn from everyone, literally everyone. Contrary to some beliefs and some (flawed) intuitions, learning like this - does not take huge effort - cultivates greater critical thinking - feels better than hierarchical learning - can take you to mastery much faster It does require though that you confront your ego and quiet it a little, not for spiritual or moral reasons, but solely for the purely practical, capitalistic pursuit of your greater goals. This sounds simple, but few can do it. The ability to do this cannot be given to you. Only thing that can be given to you is the pointer to what is truly going on. The rest is up to you.
