We would do a 100M NGN in payouts to the humans on @usescaloo within the next 12 months. I will come back to quote this post with a screenshot.

Peter Obi needs to bring the electoral college into the Nigerian presidential elections. This would liberate the North.

If youโ€™re right wing and you canโ€™t admit liberals (not communists) are way better at art and design and boutique coffee shops and restaurants, youโ€™re not living in reality. If youโ€™re left wing and you canโ€™t admit conservatives are way better at running cities and businesses and police departments, youโ€™re not living in reality. You step inside a beautiful coffee shop in the PNW and think โ€œman, these liberals are great at this stuffโ€ฆconservatives should take notes.โ€ Then the moment you step outside and trip over a homeless drug zombie shooting up fentanyl on the sidewalk, you think โ€œman these liberals are terrible at this stuffโ€ฆthey should really take notes from conservativesโ€ Communists make disgusting anti-beauty art, but classical liberals arenโ€™t like that. Put the libs in charge of the coffee shops, put the conservatives in charge of city hall. This is how you get a city that is beautiful, clean, and functional. If you canโ€™t accept that, you need to check your tribalism. We are never getting rid of each other, so figure out how we strike a balance or else the communists swoop in and take everything from us while we quarrel over stupid bullshitโ€ฆwhich is exactly whatโ€™s happening now.
Conservatives make society functional. Liberals make society beautiful. We really do need each other.

Industrialisation remains the most realistic way of leveraging our large population and resources to create wealth/jobs at scale, and reduce poverty. Not agriculture. Not finance. Not software. Not AI. Manufacturing and industrialisation! If we cannot build industries that convert our resources into useful products, everything else, is at best a temporary remedy.

In a market where customers don't know a brand, the ad is only the start of the sale. People still need to decide whether the offer is credible, whether it solves their problem, and whether they can trust what happens after payment. Distribution and trust are connected.

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY Good day, Mr President. I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeriaโ€™s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office. I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the โ‚ฆ15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target. Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world. Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government. The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

An add-to-cart is not a sale, but it isn't nothing. Someone has shown intent. They may still have questions about price, trust, delivery, or whether the product is right for them. Buying more traffic won't fix a business that has no plan to follow up with interested people.

Up until this morning, our customers kept asking for Swahili and German. We've received so many requests that we've lost count. Today, Pewbeam hears German and Swahili. The same speed and accuracy you've seen in English are now available to you too. Live in Pewbeam now.

One of the hardest hitting Bible verses is, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Imagine having to defend what Jesus said or did in 16 BC with, "it was the custom at that time." 2000 years later, no single spot on him by moral standards. Bruh!

Dear accelerators and incubator programs. We would appreciate Lovable credits instead of AWS credits. Don't even mention AWS as part of benefits again. With Lovable we can build internal ops platforms for scale.

Blackouts is not what happens in Nigeria, light is what happens. We live in a blackout and get light from time to time.

Get yourself a partner in this Tinubu era. Once Peter Obi wins and everywhere stews, how would you know who can be there for you in the hard times?

Both the guy and the lady, even the person that wrote this story is all insane. Always telling stories to put women under, people that don't have substance. This is what feminism should be against.
This lady on TikTok just shared how she lost the best man she ever had over an iPhone and I'm literally tearing up. She said her man worked night shifts, came home by 5:30am, and on his way home he stopped to buy her an iPhone because her iPhone 12 had been freezing. He sent her this text: "I know your iPhone 12 has been giving you issues so I got you this. You can come pick it up after work today. Love you always" She replied: "Thanks but you should have sent me money so I can add to get iPhone 18"
