Adeleke family sef gallant. Davido’s dad and Dangote are peers. They’ve produced a former governor and still hold power.

But rigging has limits. When there’s one formidable opposition candidate the masses genuinely like, you can’t rig too much.

If APC’s candidate was loved and Adeleke wasn’t, APC would have won.

The real problem is failing to use the remaining time to win the people’s love: minimum wage, electricity, money circulating, better living conditions.

Instead, if the strategy is mainly rigging and state power, that’s a recipe for disaster. Even when you win that way, the victory is bitter.

It’s not about party sophistication. Use power to earn the people’s love. Since 2023, there’s been enough time for Nigerians to genuinely embrace Tinubu. Sadly, that hasn’t happened.

Tarnisis:
How can one become an AI expert..

How do I start..

What do I need..

Just start using it daily for whatever you already do.

You'll learn along the way.

It's like asking someone in 1996:

"How do I become an internet expert?"

You don't need to understand the entire internet before you start using it.

AI is becoming an ecosystem of its own, just like the internet. Blockchain is another ecosystem, with crypto being one of its major sub-ecosystems.

Just enter the AI ecosystem from wherever your current life takes you.

You're a student? Use it for learning, research and projects.

You're a business owner? Use it for marketing, customer service, analysis and operations.

You're a developer? Build with it.

Whatever you do, find where AI intersects with your life and start there.

You will fail. You will make stupid prompts. You'll get terrible outputs. You'll learn. Then you'll get better.

And you can literally use AI to teach you how to use AI.

The important thing is to enter the ecosystem.

AI is still very early.

In 3–5 years, the people who have been experimenting with it, building with it and figuring out how to integrate it into their lives and businesses will have a massive head start.

Remember when people were making serious money from coding, programming, web development, then later from blockchain and crypto?

At some point, people looked back and said:

"I wish I had started earlier."

Don't make AI another one of those things.

You don't need to know everything before you start.

Just jump on the train from wherever it fits into your life.

You'll figure out the rest on the journey.

One of the biggest things blocking people from leveraging AI is not lack of access.

It is cognition.

Many people still struggle with the idea that something artificial can outperform a biological human at certain tasks.

So when they see someone using AI to write, code, research, analyse data, design or build things, they say:

"He's lazy."

"He doesn't know anything."

"AI is doing everything for him."

Oga, do you realise that knowing how to use AI effectively is itself a skill?

You still need to know what to ask, what to provide, how to structure the problem, how to evaluate the output, catch hallucinations, iterate, combine tools and turn the result into something useful.

The AI is not replacing your brain.

It is extending it.

Imagine it is 1995 and you are mocking somebody because he uses email and the internet:

"This guy is lazy. Why can't he write a letter and use the post office like everybody else?"

You would have sounded very intelligent at the time.

Until the world moved on.

That is what many people are doing with AI today.

They are judging the new tool with the mental framework of the old world.

The real question is no longer:

"Can AI do this?"

It is:

"What becomes possible when a human learns to work with AI properly?"

That is where the real advantage is.

I've been thinking about this.

We often talk about the Bible and Qur'an as though God simply handed humanity a finished book and said, "Here, read this."

But look at the actual history.

There were human beings.

Human beings living thousands of years ago, with the language, culture, politics, fears, assumptions and knowledge of their time.

Whatever divine message they believed they received still had to pass through human language, human memory, human writing, human transmission and eventually human interpretation.

That human layer is impossible to completely remove.

And the evidence is everywhere.

Different religious traditions have spent centuries arguing over what particular passages actually mean. Words have to be translated. Context has to be reconstructed. Ancient expressions have to be interpreted. Scholars disagree over meanings.

So when someone says:

"The Bible says..."

or

"The Qur'an says..."

there is another question worth asking:

"Is this exactly what God intended, or is this how human beings understood and interpreted the message?"

That distinction matters.

Because the people communicating these revelations were still products of their own time.

They didn't have modern science. They didn't have our current understanding of technology, medicine, genetics, astronomy or the universe.

They understood the world through the knowledge available to them.

So how much of what we call divine revelation is the message itself, and how much is the human interpretation surrounding that message?

Maybe that's one of the biggest questions religion has to confront.

Because if God is perfect but human beings are not, then our understanding of God can never be completely separated from the limitations of the humans who received, recorded, transmitted and interpreted the message.

The Bible and Qur'an may be regarded as holy books.

But the moment a divine message passes through human beings, language and history, the question of interpretation becomes unavoidable.

A woman can be very pretty and have plenty men chasing her, but that doesn't automatically translate to commitment.

A lot of men will happily chase a beautiful woman for sex and still not see her as someone they want to marry.

That's where the game comes in.

Femininity, warmth, genuine interest, being pleasant to be around, knowing how to relate with the kind of man you want. You have to make some effort too.

It's the same way a guy can't sit down broke, make zero effort and expect women to fall into his lap.

Men make effort to get access. Women also have to make effort to get commitment.

That's part of why you see very beautiful women remain single for years. Beauty gets attention. It doesn't automatically create commitment.

If I wan advise a younger person today, this is what I will tell you:

Study something wey go give you deep domain knowledge.

Then combine am with AI + real-world execution.

Boom!

Medicine.
Engineering.
Robotics.
Materials Science.
Cybersecurity.
Architecture.
Even Agriculture.

These things won't suddenly become useless because AI don enter everywhere.

In fact, the person wey really understands a difficult field AND knows how to use AI fit become extremely powerful.

The trick is that, don't compete with AI on the things AI is already becoming very good at.

Learn something deeply.

Then use AI as your leverage.

And you don't even need to wait for school to teach you AI.

Get the good AI models on your laptop. Play with them in your spare time.

Build things.

Code with them.

Give them access to your Git CLI, hosting CLI, terminal and development tools (You can read about these online).

Use worktrees. Modularise your projects. Let AI build features, test them, run the application and visually verify what it actually produced.

You will be surprised at what one person can build today with the right tools.

Your degree gives you domain knowledge.

AI gives you leverage.

Your ability to execute makes the combination valuable.

Tenrack:
brah not again. I leave love for people wey believe in am

😊😊

Tenrack:
Omo I giff up. Sha dey careful 😅 these women ruthless pass Goliath.

C.S. Lewis said it best:

"To love at all is to be vulnerable."

Once you genuinely love someone, you've given them the ability to hurt you.

You can't enjoy the good side of love and refuse the risk that comes with it.

I used to think vibecoding was basically "tell AI what you want and hope it works."

Not anymore.

The interesting part is when you combine a coding assistant with proper software engineering practices.

I’m talking about using worktrees to isolate features, modularising the application so features can be developed independently, and giving the coding assistant access to the actual development environment.

Git CLI. Hosting CLI. Package managers. Build tools. Logs. Tests. Database tooling.

Then comes the part I find particularly powerful: visual verification.

Instead of simply asking AI to write code and assuming it worked, you let it build the feature, run the application, inspect the actual result visually, identify what is wrong, make the correction, and verify again.

So the workflow becomes something like:

Idea → Plan → Worktree → Code → Run → Visual verification → Fix → Test → Commit → Deploy

The AI isn't just generating snippets anymore. It is operating inside the development workflow.

And modularisation makes a huge difference.

You can tell the assistant:

"Build this feature in its own worktree. Don't disturb the existing authentication module. Run the tests. Open the application and verify the UI. If everything checks out, commit it."

That is a very different experience from dumping an entire codebase into a chat and asking:

"Please add this feature."

The real power of vibecoding, IMO, isn't AI writes code for you.

It's that you can give the AI enough context, tools and feedback loops to behave more like an engineering partner.

The challenge then shifts from:

"Can AI code?"

to:

"Can I structure my project and workflow well enough for AI to work safely and effectively?"

That, to me, is where vibecoding gets genuinely interesting.

She grew up in a family of love. Wishing them a blissful Union

The one you meet outside.

And the one you meet in private with the man she genuinely wants, the man with backbone, confidence and presence.

She's beautiful. Men get nervous approaching her. Some will even think, "She's too pretty. She'll reject me. She's above my level."

But put that same woman in private with a man who genuinely arouses her, and you may see a completely different side.

The confidence, the teasing, the vulnerability, the submission, sometimes even the wild side.

Same woman. Different environment. Different man. Different energy.

Na why you shouldn't assume you know a woman just because of how she carries herself outside.

They're looking for how love makes them feel. The attention. The affection. The validation. The comfort of knowing somebody wants them.

But love itself asks for something from you too.

Love is finding someone whose needs can sometimes come before your own desires.

Love is staying when they're down and there's nothing exciting about the moment.

Love is giving without calculating what you'll get back.

Sometimes, love is the humiliated self being exalted. Putting your ego down so something bigger than you can survive.

Plenty people want to be loved.

Far fewer are prepared to love.

marlow1962:
Babatunjo, any girl run you street recently?

😂 I'm just a womanologist. I observe patterns. Nothing personal.

Not with games, but by giving her little opportunities to show you who she is.

Say something that requires care. Observe.

Put a situation where loyalty matters. Observe.

Watch how she handles your boundaries, your bad days, your absence.

If she starts pulling away, don't start chasing. Pull back too. Be willing to walk away.

Don't just listen to what she says. Watch what she consistently does.

That's where the real information is.

Slippy:
Muslims are way smarter and strategic than Christians

Just facts

What's so smart about it? It's simply a matter of being power-hungry and willing to play the game. Christians can be just as strategic when they choose to. Without the Christian vote, a Muslim candidate cannot win either.

Adeleke MUST and SHOULD use the power of incumbency, the same way Tinubu is using it at the federal level. Otherwise, he’s a goner.

Politics is not for the faint-hearted. He should learn from Wike, Seyi Makinde and the rest.

emmy512:
Seems you’re talking to me
I’m at this phase rn

You don't need to understand everything about women. Just watch how she consistently treats you.

That's the real code. No overthink am. Patterns don't lie. 😂

It doesn't matter how pretty she is, how much money you make, your status or what you can provide.

Pretty is good, no doubt. But beauty without appreciation will drain you.

If she's not grateful to have you, you'll keep doing more and somehow it will never be enough. You can bend over backwards, sacrifice your comfort, give her everything you have, and she'll still find what's missing.

Choose a woman who values what you bring to the table, not one who is constantly measuring you against what you haven't provided.

Free game for the guys. Do with it what you will.

Just wondering.

If, in many places, the average age of first sex is below 20, should virginity still be a major deciding factor?

After all, it's men like you and me who are having sex with these women. It doesn't automatically mean they're sleeping around.

Call it good or bad, but society has changed.

Women marry later, date longer, and are far more sexually liberated than they were a generation ago. It's no longer something limited to the "wild girls." Even your regular, educated, career-focused, church-going lady may have a sexual past.

Because of that reality, many men have adjusted their expectations.

These days, the questions are different.

Is she loyal?

Can she bring peace?

Is she emotionally mature?

Can we build a stable home together?

A woman's past may still matter to some men, but for many others, her character, values and how she treats you now carry more weight.

You don't have to like the change. But pretending it hasn't happened won't change reality.

Powerbandooo:
Na same thing I dey talk, focusing on what matter most, and no result

Now I get you.

Locking in isn't a guarantee of success. It's a commitment to growth.

If what you're doing isn't working, you haven't lost. You've learned. You restrategize and go again.

The person you become in the pursuit is the real win. If you know, you know.

Powerbandooo:
You fit still lock in with all seriousness, two years still no tangible result
Everything is about balance
All of you rubbish motivational speaker

Locking in doesn't mean putting your life on hold. It just means focusing on what matters most for a while.

Forget chasing women for a while. Build yourself.
Give yourself 6 months. Better still, 1 year.

Learn a skill. Make more money. Hit the gym. Read. Build your network. Become a man you're proud of.

The funny thing is, those 6 months or 1 year will pass whether you lock in or not.

Your future self will either thank you or blame you.

The women will come. Right now, become the man worth coming to.

People call women soft and gentle because they usually don't resort to physical aggression.

But emotional and social aggression can be just as devastating. A woman can destroy a man's peace, reputation or confidence without ever raising a hand.

Different weapons. Same capacity for aggression.

Una just de whine yaselfs....

We no dey whine. We dey compare notes. 😂

Goo0dHardDick:
Read my comment carefully. Your money isn't what attracts her. How you make her feel is what matters Most to her.

I agree 💯

Goo0dHardDick:
Women just want a guy that is rich so they can brag to their friends that they're dating or that they have a rich successful guy in their lives.

They dare not bill him because they know he'll walk away, and other girls are waiting with open arms to receive him. Na poor broke man Dem dey bill because they have nothing to lose

If it was just money, every rich man would have women genuinely attracted to him.
Women want a man with money, not money itself.

Zonefree:
Women don't even know what they want, that's the honest truth.

I won't say women don't know what they want. I'd say much of what drives attraction is subconscious. Emotional safety, confidence, a man who isn't easily pushed around, and healthy boundaries are things many women feel before they can even describe with words. That's why what they say they want doesn't always perfectly capture what's actually driving their attraction.

Money helps. Nobody is arguing that.

But what many women are actually looking for is a man they can't push around.

Watch am.

They'll make one random demand, change their mind, create one small wahala. Most times, it's not even planned. They're just like that.

The moment you start abandoning your own plans just to keep her happy, attraction begins to drop. You think you're being sweet. She just starts feeling you're too easy to move.

That's why you'll see one guy that's not rich, not particularly handsome, yet women still rate him. Guy is calm, clean, has boundaries, says "No" when he means it, and isn't desperate to impress anybody.

The confidence usually comes before the money. And that same confidence often helps him make the money eventually.

No be by shouting "I'm the man." No be by being toxic or overspending either.

Just have your own life. Your own standards. Your own purpose. Don't bend every time because you're scared she'll vex.

Money is a bonus.

Backbone is the main thing.

As a guy, think of it this way.

Imagine you're working in a company. Then one day, a better opportunity comes along with better pay, better growth, or it simply fits your goals better.

You call your team together and say:

"Guys, I appreciate working with you. It's not you, it's me."

What you don't say is:

"I've found a better opportunity, or this job is no longer meeting my needs."

You don't necessarily feel guilty. You're simply making the decision you believe is best for your future.

Relationships can work the same way.

When some women say, "It's not you, it's me," it may simply mean they've concluded that the relationship is no longer what they want or need. Whether that's because they've found someone else, want something different, or have changed personally, the point is that they've decided to move on.

Many men experience this as devastating heartbreak. While the pain is real, it can also help to recognise that, from the other person's perspective, they may simply be making a choice they believe is best for themselves: just like someone leaving one job for another.

Understanding that won't remove the hurt overnight, but it can stop you from taking every breakup as proof that something is fundamentally wrong with you.

The thing about apps success is the operations. The app is just infrastructure

You need to be creative about operations to succeed.

This app has massive use case in Nigeria, but that won't matter without creative operations post app launch.

For others building apps, always think
- app Infrastructure (codebase and deployment), - app Security, and the the most important of all is apps operations (distribution, sales, offer)

Following the recent wave of kidnappings and terrorist attacks in parts of the South West, there have been increasing discussions online from some people who identify as Muslims expressing frustration and asking difficult questions about religion.

Comments such as, "We've been deceived," or "Religion has made us overlook reality," reflect disappointment over violence carried out in the name of religion. These views, of course, do not represent all Muslims.

It raises an important question: Can prolonged insecurity and extremist violence weaken people's confidence in religion?
