Masterminds of terrorism should not be getting 25 years jail time. They should be getting life imprisonment. Our laws need to be updated to fit and work for the current realities.

Eventually in a decade, Nigeria will start importing wildlife from other countries to repopulate our forests and reserves. We like to hunt into extinction without thinking of the future generations.

Why Do So Many Women Become Muslims These Days?

Statistics tell you that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best dribbler of all time But twitter weirdos say that he's not even top 50 cuz not enough bodyfeints

This is why PAUSE is so Powerful ‼️💯

Look at how Alhaji is giving details of items with weights, area, and volume. To succeed, you must know your business inside out! Dont play!

“When you repeat the Kalima al Tawhid… each repetition is not the same as the one before. Each one is a step.” In the heart of Istanbul, master calligrapher Mithat Topac transforms the sacred phrase “La ilaha illallah” into 111 unique compositions. Approaching Islamic calligraphy as more than writing, his work reflects a journey where meaning, discipline, and aesthetics come together

Today, I received the endorsement of our leader and the President of Nigeria, H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as the official APC candidate for the 2027 Lagos Governorship election. I am indeed very grateful for the vote of confidence and endorsement. I am fully aware of the responsibility it carries. I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing on the good work and the foundation the President has laid in Lagos State. Lagos state is an ongoing project because we are the yardstick for development and progress. There is still a lot of work ahead, we have an election to win and a legacy to protect. I therefore remain focused on the journey ahead.

All of you GenZ’s and unlearned millennials that clown Nigeria asking mockingly “why are we even called Giant of Africa, self?” this is why! In the 60s-90s, Nigeria was literally Africa’s sugar daddy, $20m here, $10m there, and so on and so forth to other African countries! we didn’t only talk about Pan-Africanism we put our money where our mouth was. Also, at independence, many African countries didn’t have as many educated professionals as Nigeria. In a lot of African countries that gained independence after us from 1963 onwards, the first chief justice, auditor general, surgeon general, vice chancellors of universities were all Nigerians! The first black chief justice of Botswana was Akinola Aguda, the first black chief justice of Gambia was Emmanuel Ayoola, when the portuguese left Mozambique in the 70s Nigerian health care officers (doctors and nurses) were sent to shore up their healthcare system from collapse bcos they just didn’t have enough qualified doctors. after all said and done we sent over 10,000 professionals across africa and the carribeans to help them incubate their newly independent nations should we even talk about the ECOMOG troops in the 90s that 70% majorly funded (spent over $3b ) and equipped by Nigeria with Nigerian soldiers forming 75% of the peacekeeping force? ECOMOG led by us was highly responsible for ending the Liberian and Sierra Leonean civil wars. I won’t even go into details of what Nigeria contributed to the South African anti-apartheid efforts! Nigeria gave and gave and forgot to pay attention to its own development and today we’ve become the pariah amongst nations!

A Persian scholar finished a single math book in 9th century Baghdad that quietly became the foundation for every line of code running on Earth today. I started reading about him at midnight and could not believe how many things in my daily life trace back to one man. His name was Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. The book is called The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing. Every time you say the word algebra, you are saying his book title. Every time someone says the word algorithm, they are saying his name. Both English words come from him. Both are Latin transliterations of Arabic and of his own identity. The man did not just contribute to mathematics. He named it. Here is the part almost nobody tells you. Al-Khwarizmi was born around 780 CE in Khwarazm, in what is now Uzbekistan. He moved to Baghdad and worked at a research institution called the House of Wisdom, which during the Islamic Golden Age was the single most important center of learning on the planet. The caliph al-Mamun hired the best mathematicians, astronomers, and philosophers from across three continents and put them in one building with one job. Translate, study, and produce new knowledge. Al-Khwarizmi finished his book on algebra around 820 CE. The Arabic title contained the word al-jabr, which referred to one of the two operations he used to solve equations. When the book was translated into Latin in the 12th century, the Latin world did not have a word for what he had built. So they kept his Arabic word. Al-jabr became algebra. The discipline was named after a single Arabic word in the title of a single book by a single man. The deeper insight is what he actually changed about how humans think. Before al-Khwarizmi, mathematical problems were solved geometrically. You drew shapes. You measured them. You compared areas. The Greeks had built an entire mathematical tradition on visual proofs and physical constructions. It was beautiful and limited. You could not solve a problem you could not draw. Al-Khwarizmi did something nobody had done before him at this scale. He said you could solve any problem using abstract symbols and rules. You did not need a shape. You needed a procedure. You moved terms across the equation. You cancelled like terms on both sides. You isolated the unknown. He invented the idea that mathematics is a manipulation of symbols according to rules, not a study of physical figures. That single shift made everything that came afterward possible. Calculus. Differential equations. Linear algebra. Quantum mechanics. None of it works if math is locked inside geometry. He pulled it out. The second thing he did is the one that changed how the world counted forever. He took the Hindu numeral system from Indian mathematics, refined it, and wrote a book introducing it to the Arab world. That system included the concept of zero as a placeholder, and a positional notation where the value of a digit depends on its location. Roman numerals could not do complex calculation. Hindu-Arabic numerals could. When his book on numerals was translated into Latin as Algoritmi de numero Indorum, the word Algoritmi was just the Latin spelling of his own name. Europeans started calling the new method "doing algorism," then "running an algorithm." The word for the most important concept in computer science is literally his name in Latin. The third thing he did is the part that should haunt anyone who works in tech. His method of solving problems was systematic. Step one, do this. Step two, check that. Step three, if condition A, then do X, otherwise do Y. He wrote down procedures that could be followed by anyone, anywhere, who knew how to read. The procedure did not depend on intuition or genius. It worked because the steps worked. That is exactly what an algorithm is. A finite, deterministic procedure for solving a problem. He did not just give us the word. He gave us the entire concept of programming a thousand years before there was anything to program. When Alan Turing built the first abstract model of computation in 1936, when John von Neumann designed the first stored-program computer in 1945, when every engineer at Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind writes code in 2026, they are working in a paradigm that started with one man in Baghdad twelve centuries ago. The strangest part is what happens when you walk into any tech office in San Francisco or Bangalore or Lahore today. Engineers say the words algebra and algorithm hundreds of times a day. They do not know whose name they are saying. Almost nobody can spell al-Khwarizmi correctly on the first try. His original Arabic manuscript is preserved at Oxford. His book on Hindu numerals survives only in Latin translation. The Latin version was the textbook that taught medieval Europe how to count. The man who built the foundation of the AI revolution did not live to see a calculator. He died around 850 CE, a thousand years before the first electric current was sent through a wire. The civilization he built mathematics for collapsed. The library he wrote in burned. His own grave is unmarked. But every algorithm running on every machine on Earth right now still answers to his name.

In the history of the Champions League. There is only one footballer who could lose 2-0 to Simeone’s Atletico Madrid and score a hattrick in the return leg to knock him out. You could never bet against Prime Cristiano Ronaldo.

XPTDRRRRRR DEPUIS 2016 MERCI POUR TOUT LE FC BARCELONE.

Yes. It happened you were kicked out.

10 years ago today, Cristiano Ronaldo scored this late winner against Barcelona 😍🤍
