I believe that God has a plan and purpose for our lives and that plan can be tied to the location he places us in/sends us to. It is important to not live our lives or make decisions like we do not have a God whose plan we are to be submitted to.

There’s a lot of writing on what AI means for rich-country economies and far less on what it means for Nairobi, Lagos or Lima.

Manifesto? Let’s see what was in Tinubu’s 2023 manifesto.
1. 12% GDP growth? Fail.
2. Stabilising Naira at 300 per dollar? Fail
3. 15,000 MW and constant power? Fail
4. Triple spending in Education? Fail.
5. Raise healthcare budget to 10%? Fail.
No one cares about your manifesto

Let me tell you people how Tinubu’s tenure will go. It’s so easy to predict.
1. In June, subsidy will be removed. This will trigger inflation never seen in Nigeria before. I see people refer to transportation costs (for humans), but it’s a lot more than that.

A County Executive (LGA chair equivalent) pushes grocery cart in the store. That’s someone with a budget of $7bn.
$300m revenue in “poor country “ Nigeria, Mr Governor is in a convoy of cars, tucked in the latest Lexus.
Nigerians discuss public resources like it’s an infinite element when priorities aren’t just centered on the people. How are you going to build a productive population if your abuse resources meant to develop them?
It’s left for ethical millennials and GenZ to cut down the obscene allure that comes with public office in Nigeria. It’s their challenge and gift to the next generation.

A country that accounts for over 70% of the world’s most persecuted Christians and ranks seventh on the Open Doors World Watch List as one of the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians cannot afford to jettison imprecatory prayers.
Our people need those prayers. All we have is God. No government, no police, no courts. Only Jehovah!
If there is any group of people who can sing, “Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee,” it is Nigerians.
Let’s be careful.

The affluent lifestyles, expensive cars and sheer opulence they enjoy. Yet, we are all expected to accept a “hard reset” and “endure” for the sake of the long term.
There are always resources for all these nonsense. Zero sincerity of purpose!
Oya nau.

A lot of our so called activist are nothing but vultures who feed on the same decay and maladministration they came to fight.
A dysfunctional system gives them relevance. – at Ikeja, Nigeria

Muslims can be prejudiced against, that much is true.
However, we should abhor a morality that takes an unwavering stand against islamophobia but conveniently ignores the deadly reality of Islamic extremism, especially when it’s had much more devastating consequences.

I understand deeply the threat of Islamic fundamentalism, but I also understand the importance of treating people as individuals rather than judging them based on their religion.
Too many people seem unable to make that distinction, and it genuinely bothers me. Don’t you have Muslim friends?
Soldier, at war retweeted
You people will see videos of your people savaging a pastor’s head with an axe, or burning a student to death, and your concern is always the ‘Islamophobia.’ Not the victims. There’s a kind of selfishness there that you can’t blame people for noticing.

I began watching the diplomat after all the great reviews. I'm 3 episodes in, and in the third episode, Kate, the protagonist, viciously attacks her husband. This domestic violence with a male victim is treated so casually and almost heroically it left me in disbelief.
If the roles were reversed, that show would have been cancelled, with pieces all over the Internet calling for the sacrificial offering of anyone with a Y chromosome. Yet, here we have popular media casualising and glorifying domestic violence against men, making it socially acceptable without a peep from anybody.
In many instances, women are the bigger perpetrators of domestic violence, but you'd never know it because men suffer in silence. Scenes like this make it even harder for abused men to speak up.

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.
