Many things are wrong with the masses and the leaders.

Was Buhari better than Obasanjo as Nigeria President?

Hi @ all:

Was Buhari a better president than Obasanjo as president?

Was Obasanjo’s administration better than Buhari’s administration?

If you were asked to choose/elect either Buhari or Obasanjo, who will you choose?

Kind regards,

This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.

While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…

Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.

Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.

Think about that for a minute...

While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.

This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.

The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.

Are you a regular ChatGPT user?

Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:

Disable Model Training:
Navigate to Settings > Data Controls.
Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone".
Manage Memory Settings:
Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory.
Here, you can:
Turn off memory entirely.
Delete specific memories.
Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training.
Now the investment implications…

Why This is Bigger Than You Think
Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.

People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.

I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.

A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.

The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.

But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...

Three Things to Watch
For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.

The iPhone form factor is dead.

It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.

OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.

So what does all of this mean for you?

The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats.

We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools.

The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology.

And almost nobody is talking about what this means.

My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.

(And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)

In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…

For dirt cheap.

No, not if you are comparing apples to apples. What we call “poor” is obviously a pretty high bar but if you’re talking about like a total homeless shambling skexie in like San Fran then, no. The U.S.A. in not particularly kind to you. It is not an abuse so much as it is a sad relatively minor consequence of our optimism and industriousness.

What you consider rich changes with circumstances obviously. If you are genuinely poor in the U.S.A., you experience a quirky hodgepodge of unhelpful and/or abstract extreme lavishnesses while also being alienated from your social support network. It’s about the same as being a refugee. For a fraction of the ‘kindness’ available to you in non bio-available form, you could have simply stayed closer to your people and been MUCH better off.

It’s just a quirk of how we run the place and our values; we are more worried about interfering with people’s liberty and natural inclination to do for themselves than we are about no bums left behind. It is a slightly hurtful position and we know it; we are just scared to death of socialism cancer and we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.

So, if you’re a bum; you got 5G, the ER will spend like $1,000,000 on you over a hangnail but then kick you out as soon as you’re “stabilized”, the logistics are surpremely efficient, you have total unchecked freedom of speech, real-estate, motels, and jobs are all natural healthy markets in perfect competition, you got compulsory three ‘R’’s, your military owns the sky, sea, space, night, information-space, and has the best hairdos, you can fill out paper and get all the stuff up to and including a Ph.D. Pretty much everything a very generous, eager, flawless go-getter with five minutes to spare would think you might need.

It’s worse. Our whole society is competitive and we do NOT value or make any kumbaya exception. The last kumbaya types we had werr the Shakers and they literally went extinct. Pueblo peoples are still around but they kind of don’t count since they were here before us. So basically, if you’re poor in the U.S.A., you are automatically a loser and a deadbeat too. You will be treated as such by anybody not specifically either paid to deal with you or shysters selling bejesus, Amway, and drugs. Plus, it ain’t safe out there. Not everybody uses muhfreedoms to lift their truck, people be thugging and bums are very vulnerable here. The history of a large mobile workforce means nobody has a village to go home to.

In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.

Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?

I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...

Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?

Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

Ituglobal: Our Latest NETELLER Vips 2025

ITU GLOBAL VIP Members’ Rewards
Every calendar year, we choose 2 customers to become our VIPs. They’ve permanently special status with us and they can fund/withdraw Neteller through us, at parallel market rates, whether they open brokerage accounts through us or not.

These are people who funded with the highest amount of Neteller, and who also withdrew the highest amount of Neteller through us. They would be announced in January each year and added to our list of VIPs.

ItuGlobal: Our Latest NETELLER VIPs 2025

Adetoye Oyebanji Babalola: Adetoye O. has started selling large quantities of Neteller to us since the very beginning of our company’s existence. He also sold Perfect Money to us many times, when PM was still available in Nigeria. Besides, he has given us a lot of helpful business advice, which has proven to be invaluable to us. He deserves to become our VIP.

Isiaka Adekunle Mohammed: He is a constant buyer. Buying e-currencies and also funding his Instaforex account through us. We thank Isiaka A. for his trust in us and wish him the best in everything he does.

Abiodun Lawanson: This is an avid buyer and seller of Neteller. He buys and makes profits and sells back to us. Sometimes when we are not online, he will send an offline message and we will process his order once we come back online. He has thus become our VIP.

Of course, I had to ask what he thought about AI.

Because if you can make an entire film on a laptop in your bedroom, do we even need Hollywood anymore?

Will’s answer: Yes, AI will take jobs. (Production, sets, background extras, you name it.)

Yes, it will make movies cheaper.

But no, it won’t replace human storytelling.

Because AI doesn’t know why you care.

It can generate dialogue, sure. But can it make you feel? Can it tell the definitive story of your life?

(Well, unless you’re a robot, in which case… congratulations on reading this far.)

Confidence Is a Muscle—Here’s How to Build It

Will brought up something crucial.

Most people wait until they feel confident.

That’s a mistake.

Confidence comes after action.

Not before.

So how do you build it?

Manufacture wins—Set tiny goals. Don’t climb the whole mountain. Just put on your hiking boots.
Control your input—Stop giving away your power. Just because someone in authority tells you no, doesn’t mean you stop.
Hack your own brain—Every morning, tell yourself what you need to hear.
And just like that, you’re training your mind the way an athlete trains their body.

By James A.

The most interesting thing about David Sacks' press conference was not what he said or didn’t say…

It was who showed up.

The majority of congressmen who spoke weren’t who you would expect. They weren’t SEC hawks. They weren’t banking industry watchdogs.

They were from agriculture and commodities.

That might sound random—until you realize what it means.

For years, crypto companies have begged to be regulated by the CFTC instead of the SEC. And now, it looks like they’re about to get their wish.

Why the CFTC? Their oversight is generally seen as lighter-touch and more adaptable to innovation.

(The CFTC’s mandate focuses on market integrity and fraud prevention, while the SEC imposes stricter disclosure and registration requirements.)

If crypto-at-large officially gets classified as a commodity, rather than a security, it means one thing: fewer restrictions, more innovation.

Meaning, the US government is about to do for crypto what it did for the Internet in the 1990s…

Give it breathing room to grow before regulating it into oblivion.

Point blank: the ink isn’t dry on the future of finance. And crypto just grabbed the pen.

Dismiss it at your own risk.

Now, yes… this crypto story is a BIG DEAL.

Being a guy who has spent most of his early twenties without any exercise and most of the time on bed or chair, I think I can throw some light on the issue.

When you do not exercise-

Your body becomes lethargic. You start feeling that you are always sick and lack energy to do anything, specially when it comes to moving your body.

You start getting all sorts of digestive diseases from acid reflux to bad digestion and your metabolism gets really slow.

Your body starts feeling like a body of an old person. Your core becomes weak, you loose all the muscle tone, your flat stomach starts turning into a bulging belly, you start getting man boobs.

You start eating too much junk food to make your self feel happy. Since you do not exercise, your brain also starts getting affected in various ways, for example your brain stops producing serotonin ( a hormone associate with your happiness) and you generally start getting depressed.

To over come this depressing feeling you indulge in binge eating and YouTube watching till you get addicted to it because of the chemical called dopomine (associated with addiction) which provides false sense of satisfaction due to instant gratification, but as soon as u stop the activity you start getting depressed again.

You lack any structure and any kind of discipline in your life which makes you more lazy and aimless. Infact it starts affecting your professional goals, as you lack discipline and will.
You loose self confidence due to your ruined body shape and lack of any strength. In addition your “weekend party” lifestyle adds on to your problems which you realise in your mid 30s.

If you are a male, your testosterone gets really low and you start looking older than you actually are.

You remain at the risk of getting diseases like blood pressure, type 2 diabetes , heart disease etc. at much younger age.

You start looking like a 40 years old at the age of 28.(cannot emphasis enough on this).
There are more problems associated with not exercising at all but I think I have made this issue bit clearer.

Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?

Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.

You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.

There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.

You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.

Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.

You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.

What a wild year.

AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.

Okay, but what about the $money stuff?

Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.

Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.

It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.

However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.

Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.

How about you? How did you go?

What Comes Next?

There's this weird dance that happens in crypto.

Bitcoin moves first.

It grabs all the headlines. Your Uber driver starts talking about it. Your mom asks if she should buy some. And everyone forgets that anything else exists.

This is exactly when smart money starts positioning for what comes next.

Think about it: When Bitcoin starts going parabolic, what happens? All that fresh money and attention floods into crypto.

Eventually, that money starts looking for higher returns.

This is where it gets interesting. While everyone's obsessing over Bitcoin, smart players are quietly accumulating the next wave of winners.

They're looking for projects that hold strong even when Bitcoin dips.

Pro-tip: When everything else drops 40% but one or two projects only drops 10% - that might be telling you something.

The Real Winners

But here's the thing to remember: The real winners are never the copycats.

They're never the projects trying to be "the next Bitcoin." Or the “next Ethereum”. Or the “next Solana”. Or whatever.

They're the ones solving actual problems that have to be solved.

Everyone learned this lesson the hard way during the dot-com boom.

The biggest returns came from identifying the infrastructure plays that had to exist for the internet to work…

Not from buying Yahoo! when it started surging to all-time highs.

The same thing's happening now.

While everyone's arguing about prices, entire new markets are being built right under their noses.

Look, nobody is perfect on timing. Markets have a way of humbling everyone.

But I've been around long enough to know this: The biggest opportunities rarely come from chasing what's already pumping.

They come from positioning yourself in front of what's inevitably coming next.

Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?

So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?

No problem!

All you have to do is outwork them.

Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."


Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.

So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.

In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora

1. The honeymoon stage.

In the honeymoon stage everything happens effortlessly. You don't force anything. It's just beautiful. You can easily think you have won or think you've found your ideal soul mate. Everything is picky and pretty.

You just want to spend more time together. You even start to fantasize about the future together. It's just beautiful because you have found each other.

2. The testing stage.

The second stage is the testing stage. Some call it the reality stage. Love is no longer new, the sex is no longer desirable or appetising. The feelings have faded.

The acting is over, the reality kicks in. It's either you tolerate, accept or it's over. You start finding faults in your partner. This doesn't mean you no longer love them but you now see them from a reality perspective. You start fighting and doubting if you are really in love.

3. The Give in or give up stage.

This is the most difficult stage of the relationship. It's called the building stage. A lot of fights happen. You start getting angry at little things and become more insecure because you no longer see eye to eye in a lot of things.

It is the higher stage of the relationship where breakup is highly possible. The stage where intimacy is dry and love is cold.*

If you are both not mature enough the relationship will end here. One will start to cheat for the taste of new love.

4. The winning stage.

In this stage you both accept that you are two different individuals and imperfect. You both have different qualities and flows but still choose each other, and want to stick together no matter what.

You choose the relationship over your feelings and emotions at times.

Many divorces happen because a lot of people marry on their honeymoon stage.

They marry strangers and when the reality kicks they think he or she has changed.

Why are more and more people choosing to live a "low-profile life"?

You stop giving so much of yourself to others ,

Crazy how peaceful your life becomes once you start keeping low-profile ,

Not everyone needs to know everything about you ,

You get more time to be with people who respect your choices ,

From a place of calm , you’ve a crucial starter’s advantage. This is where creativity & energy flourish,

Now the attention is OFF you & you’ll be less self-conscious at work place or your surroundings ,
The fewer people know about you , the less they can say about you . There won’t be any space for gossip or drama ,

You won’t offend people no matter what & people around you won’t dislike you ,

The goal is to make money , not impress people ,
The more you work on yourself , the less you complain ,

Let yourself be silently drawn to improve on what you really love doing ,

What skills are hard to learn after age 30?

This is a great, thought provoking question. I would like to believe that no skill absolutely can’t be learnt once you cross 30, but some things definitely do get harder.

We have two young kids and as I think about the skills we’d like them to learn, those make good examples of things that are harder to pick up post 30.

A new musical instrument

A new language

Swimming

Riding a bike

Other physically challenging things - example, I am pretty sure I am not going to be a gymnast or figure skater in this lifetime.

Empathy for others

More abstract things:

Your general demeanor and personality traits are hard to change once you get older. For example, if you are an extrovert, post 30 that trait is likely going to stay.
Your appetite for risk taking is probably well formed by this time also and although this can be changed, it likely a non-trivial amount of work.

My dad moved to the US when he was over 60. Prior to that, he had been driving on the left side of the road in India for 30–40 years. He was able to overcome the strong muscle memory associated with driving and learned to drive on the right side of the road in the US within a few months. I think that’s pretty awesome.

With enough will, determination and perseverance I think the human body and spirit is capable of a lot of new learning and change, but in general as you get older there is more inertia to continue the habits you already have, which make big changes harder. Good luck!

Can any of your non-trading buddies or loved ones paint a clear picture of what you do for a living?

I've got friends who've been with me through my entire trading journey... but if they were asked to explain it, they'd probably draw a blank.

Doesn't make them bad friends.

But when I mention I'm off to get my trades on, they look at me like I just sprouted a couple of new heads.

Might as well tell them I'm jetting off to negotiate with aliens in a Black Hole.

And how this whole trading thing keeps me happy in my fancy lifestyle is basically a mystery to them.

Could be magic, who knows! And that's alright.

Every decision - it all boils down to us - the buck stops with you.

When we succeed... oooh, it's delicious.

And when we 'fail', we roll up our sleeves... and come back swinging the next day with fresh enthusiasm to learn from our 'failures' and get back on top.

We're a misunderstood bunch, often raising eyebrows among friends and family... because we rock the boat.

Most of this terrifies regular folks. Our radical self-responsibility seems risky and downright crazy.

Why take these risks? No 'for-sure' paycheck, tons of introspective thinking, and hard work.

So why do we do it?

Well, because it's the most exhilarating way to live. Every day in trading gives you back your choices.

In your world, you're the driving force. It's a big responsibility, no doubt... but you can always quit and go back to working for someone else. Maybe.

Most of us, after living the trading lifestyle for a while, are basically unemployable.

We're too independent. Too allergic to nonsense. Too wise about how the world really ticks to accept a role that's meek or ineffective.

So, why not savor the adventure you're living? No matter where you stand in the trading game, if you've been tuning in to my rants and tales, you've got the trader's spirit in your veins.

If not, you'd have hit 'unsubscribe' ages ago.

Because what I talk about in these messages probably sounds like wild, out-there dreams to most folks. But, you know it in your heart that this is the world where you want to play.

The advice I’m about to share may seem counterintuitive.

But being pessimistic really does make you a better trader.

Let me explain…

Think about the time when you took a setup that met all the criteria of your trading plan.

It was such an A+ setup that you were certain it would hit your profit target.

And after calculating the risk-to-reward ratio…

You were just waiting to see that extra 3.5% in your account balance.

But no…

The market ended up reversing on you and started racing towards your stop loss.

All certainty and optimism you felt were replaced with a fear of losing.

And by the time you were stopped out, you likely felt a mix of disappointment and frustration.

Which you ended up carrying with you for the next trade you took…

Sound familiar?

Well, this is the danger of being optimistic about your trades.

You become so tied to the outcome that you experience an emotional rollercoaster when you’re trading.

And that’s why it pays to be pessimistic.

If you visualise your trade consolidating, retracing on you and even stopping you out…

You’ve already accepted the worst-case scenario in your mind.

So you can trade without any stress, anxiety or frustration.

And take your trading to a more professional level.

Of course, this is easier said than done….

“If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.

The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.

In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."

This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.

The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.

While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.

Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C

Yes you read that right.

The Japanese police have been doing literally nothing these days.

The reason behind this is the ever decreasing crime rate in Japan.

Let me tell you some facts here:

The crime rate in Japan has decreased to negligible amount in last 13 years.

On an average, there is less than 1% chance of crime for every 100,000 people in Japan.
There was only one incident of murder last year in Japan. Yes just one!

The most important element of police power, though, is not authority to search, but authority in the community. Like school teachers, Japanese policemen rate high in public esteem, especially in the countryside.

The police in Japan are trained in calligraphy and Haiku composition.

Police in Japan do carry a gun but they rarely use it. Instead they use their black belts in judo or police sticks. In an average year, the entire Tokyo police force only fires six shots.

15,000 koban "police boxes" are located throughout the cities.

Police koban box officers spend time teaching neighborhood youth judo or calligraphy.

The officers even hand- write their own newspapers, with information about crime and accidents, "stories about good deeds by children, and opinions of
residents."

Tokyo is the safest city in the entire world.

Since the dot-com boom crash and 2008 recession, calling a successful market a bubble has become high fashion.

The bitcoin craze is no different.

People have been calling it a bubble since the first 100 users.

Bitcoin $5: “Bitcoin is overpriced, this is a bubble”
Bitcoin $50: “Total insanity, everyone will lose their shirts”
Bitcoin $500: “I can’t believe anyone is stupid enough to buy this”
Bitcoin $5,000: “This is a fad, it’s just like tulips.”
Problem is…

Most of what Bitcoiners said will happen has come true. (All that’s left is $1 million BTC.)

Mainstream adoption
Bitcoin Spot ETFs
Institutional investment
Accepted widely as a “digital gold”
BUT

James and I don’t think the real money will be made in Bitcoin, Ethereum…

Or any of the top 10 cryptos.

For the past two years, we’ve focused every ounce of our attention on the early stage cryptos with MASSIVE potential.

How massive, you ask?

A lot of the answers here recommend observing a person when they're hungry or tired, or even intentionally provoking them/depriving them in order to see their “true” personality.

This approach is bullshit.

You can do this to people, but all you’ll be seeing is them at their worst. Not their best personality and certainly not their “true” personality.

I’ve known a few genuinely kind people who become awful to be around when they're hungry or tired. What does that mean? It means they aren’t used to repressing their body’s signals to eat or sleep. How does that make them bad people?

You can't know someone’s “true” personality, because you can never fully know someone else; there will always be parts of themselves that they keep from you intentionally, and other parts that even they might not know exist.

The only thing you can do is take a chance and spend time with them. The more time you spend with a person, the more you interact, the better you get to know them. It's that simple. There are no shortcuts. - Matthew Manning, Quora,

Most people fit within one of two camps:

1.] We can’t sustain the amount of human life on Earth. Full stop. A reduction in the human population is necessary.

2.] Not only can we sustain the population, but we can drastically raise the standard of living for everyone while also using fewer resources than we do now.

Elon Musk put it in a slightly different frame:

“Right vs. Left -- it’s the wrong way to think about it. It’s the extinctionists versus the pro-humans. And once you see that it’s extinctionist versus the pro-humans then it becomes very clear.”

He defines humanists as those advocating for human flourishing and progress, while extinctionists are perceived as embracing policies that could potentially lead to human decline or extinction.

I sit on the side of the humanistas.” – Chris C
