NIGERIA WE'RE SLEEPING
Have you ever wondered why some countries keep moving forward while others keep struggling to catch up?
Look closely at what is happening in this video.
Machines are manufacturing components. Workers are assembling sophisticated electronic devices. Different stages of production are coordinated with impressive precision.
Now think about this:
Every machine represents engineering knowledge.
Every production line represents industrial capacity.
Every finished product represents value created within the economy.
Here is something worth thinking about:
What if, instead of importing most of the technology we consume, we invested heavily in developing the capacity to manufacture it?
A country doesn't become an industrial powerhouse overnight.
It takes years of investment in education, research, engineering, infrastructure, technology and manufacturing.
The real wealth of a nation is not just what it buys. It is what it has the knowledge and capacity to produce.
Are we paying enough attention to this?

Is there light in your area?" is a question every Nigerian asks daily.
I built IraGrid, a free Android app that shows which areas have light right now. It learns from phones that start charging, so no one has to report anything.
Starting in Lokoja. I need testers 👇

I don't live in am estate, but the neighborhood is very okay and peaceful.
So my son came to me this morning to say that he wanted to ride his bicycle way beyond my street.
I noticed that he had a bruise on his knee, so I asked him:
"What happened to your knee?"
"Daddy, I fell while riding my bicycle."
I did not say "sorry" to him.
So I gave him permission to ride his bicycle beyond our street.
Then he said:
"Daddy, I want mommy to send me on errands, so I can ride my bicycle to the place."
I just smiled.
I want that boy to experience what it means to grow up as a man who will face difficult challenges, learn certain things by himself, and even get some injuries in the process.
When I was his age, I got different injuries as a young boy.
From blisters under my feet to knee scratches, toe injuries, and scratches on my face, I experienced them all.
I was even doing backflips.
One time, I did a backflip and landed on my forehead. That was when I started bleeding seriously. My father really suffered, and I still have that scar.
Back to the bicycle story.
I don't know if some of you can recall:
As kids, we used to have men who rented out bicycles.
20 kobo for 30 minutes.
30 kobo for 1 hour.
Those men didn't ask us where we lived.
They would just collect money, give you one bicycle, and off you go with it.
We would ride around the neighborhood.
Falling on the streets, racing at high speeds, etc.
Childhood was fun.
But one thing is unfortunate today: we don't have people who rent bicycles anymore.
Trust has been eroded over the years.
End.

Nigeria-Siemens Electricity Project by @fgnpcppi TESTIMONY: freezers are freezing. Progress oooooo
1: Under the Pilot Phase of the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI), FGN Power Company installed a 60MVA Power Transformer at the Apo Transmission Substation in 2023.
2: Watch this testimonial video to understand why it is critical that equipment and technologies deployed across Nigeria’s power sector are properly tested, certified and proven to meet the required standards and global best practices.
3: The Apo transformer is one of several transformers and mobile substations manufactured, installed, energised and commissioned under the PPI Pilot Phase, with these critical assets now serving substations and supporting improved transmission capacity across Nigeria.
4: Quality equipment. Rigorous testing. Stronger infrastructure. Better power delivery @aedcelectricity @JosephOTegbe @federal_power @KennyAnuwe @kennyokolugbo @wvleed_kessiee @Shaibu_AO @SAsekome @Ezeakachidozie @osinachikings @EstazRealtor @EstherScottygee @ui_shehu @AbawizzyW30350 @wvleed_kessiee @Ladan_wachiko @wale1960 @Zamani_WLK @sadiq_wush @ishaqsamaila5 @Iam_shuayb @AShammeh @Kingpin_black1 @RukyRolex @Ruthoyiza12 @YeriTheSGF @edor_possible @Christbeloved00 @Christbeloved00 @Chrisbamidele @DavidsOffor @PBATMediaCentre @RenewedHope2_0 @JacobSua
Nigerians are funny people, we always do the wrong thing and expect the best results, imagine distributing fire service jobs to those who don't care about savings life's and properties but you expect them to put out fire whenever their is fire outbreak. We joke too much in 9ja

The funniest thing was I saw the ISR operating along that Ibadan axis, but I didn't really pay attention cos I thought it was the routine ISR mission not knowing the rescue operation was about to start.

Listen as Interior Minister announced the arrest of 7 terrorists leaders at Katsina Airport after returning from Hajj. Yet some terrorist sympathisers online are trying to debunk the narrative. I wonder why some of you guys support terrorism consciously.

A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.
He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.
He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."
He grabbed a remote and shook his head.
"There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this."
Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵
Their family and friends, please tell anybody that wants to help you fry meat not to add too much salt is affecting me and I'm unable to eat much meat. Thanks in anticipation, may Allah spare out life beyond next year

🔥🔥THE SKY HAS EYES: NO ESCAPE IN 2026🔥🔥🔥🔥
If the adversary thinks they can slide into our forest corridors undetected, they haven't been paying attention to the news from Abuja. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu, has confirmed the addition of brand-new, protracted TB2 drones to our inventory.
We are tracking, targeting, and neutralizing with precision like never before. If you are starting your Friday backed by a modern, evolving, and unstoppable force, drop a 🇳🇬. Let's claim the day!

1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.
3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"
4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"
5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.
6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.
7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85
This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.
