Built a new house. Praise be to God.

You never lie for me before.

The function of man is to find a way. And if a way already exists, man's responsibility is to refine it, improve it, and keep improving it until he achieves repeatable success. This has been the story of human civilization from the beginning. Early man needed to survive, so he picked up stones and turned them into tools. But stones had limitations. He discovered how to work with copper, then bronze, then iron. He learned to shape metals into stronger tools. He did not stop there. Centuries of refinement gave us steel, precision machinery, and the sophisticated tools we have today. Early man needed to hunt, so he sharpened sticks into spears. Then came bows and arrows. Then came guns, missiles, and weapons capable of striking targets thousands of miles away. Man needed to move, so he walked. When walking became insufficient, he domesticated animals. Then he invented the wheel, built carts, carriages, bicycles, automobiles, trains, and aeroplanes. Today, he builds machines that travel beyond the earth itself. Man needed to communicate, so he developed language. But his voice could only travel so far. He invented writing, developed systems for carrying messages, built the printing press, the telegraph, the telephone, radio, television, and eventually the internet. Man needed light, so he made fire. He learned to burn oil, invented lamps, developed electric lighting, and eventually built entire cities that remain illuminated long after the sun has disappeared. Man needed to cross rivers, so he built rafts. Then boats. Then ships. When oceans stood between him and distant lands, he built vessels capable of crossing them. When the depths of the ocean became another obstacle, he built submarines. Man looked at the sky and saw birds flying. For thousands of years, flight seemed beyond his reach. But he studied, experimented, failed, and tried again. Eventually, he built a machine that could fly. Barely a lifetime later, man was walking on the moon. All these achievements have in common. At some point, somebody looked at a condition that everyone else had accepted and asked, "Is there no better way?" That question has probably done more to advance human civilization than almost any other. The world we enjoy today is the accumulated result of people who refused to accept the limitations of their circumstances. And that brings me to you. Every blessed day of your life should involve finding a way. If one way fails, find another. If you find a way that works, refine it. If it works once, find out why. If it works twice, study the conditions that made it possible. If it works repeatedly, develop a system around it. And when that system begins to produce results, don't become complacent. Find out how to make it faster, easier, more reliable, more effective. That is how progress is made. The farmer who once cultivated a small piece of land with a hoe did not necessarily need to work harder to cultivate a thousand hectares. He needed a better method. The trader who once carried goods from village to village did not necessarily need stronger legs to reach more customers. He needed better transportation, better distribution, and eventually a system that could sell his goods without requiring his physical presence everywhere. The writer who once spent months copying manuscripts by hand did not need to learn how to write a thousand times faster. He needed the printing press. There comes a point where the answer to your problem is no longer more effort, but a better way of applying that effort. This is why two people can work equally hard and produce vastly different results. One continues to repeat a method that has already demonstrated its limitations. The other studies the limitations, adjusts the method, and discovers a more effective approach. One is merely repeating an activity. The other is improving a process. You must become obsessed with two questions: "How can I?" "How will I?" How can I earn more? How can I become more valuable? How can I acquire the knowledge I currently lack? How can I solve this problem with the resources available to me? How can I turn something that worked once into something that works consistently? How can I make my present circumstances better than they were yesterday? These are the questions that should occupy the mind of an ambitious man. I believe a healthy desire for improvement is one of the most important qualities a person can possess. There is something deeply troubling about becoming so comfortable with a mediocre condition that the possibility of a better life no longer excites you. I am not suggesting that everyone must pursue wealth, status, or extraordinary achievements. People have different ambitions, and a meaningful life takes many forms. But whatever constitutes a better life to you, there should be an instinct to pursue it. If you lack knowledge, find a way to learn. If you lack money, find a way to create value. If you lack opportunities, find a way to become qualified for them, to discover or create them. If your environment limits you, find a way to expand your environment. If your current method is producing poor results, have the humility to abandon it and the intelligence to develop another. And if you have already achieved some success, resist the temptation to treat your present methods as the final expression of what is possible. The first aeroplane flew for only a few seconds. Imagine if its inventors had concluded that flight had been perfected. Imagine if the people who invented the wheel had decided that human transportation had reached its ultimate form. Imagine if the inventors of the telephone had been satisfied with transmitting a human voice across a wire. Much of what we call modern civilization would never have existed. Every great invention was once an improvement on something that already existed, an answer to a problem, or was an attempt to do what had previously seemed impossible. And the same principle applies to your personal life. Your problem may be simpler than building an aeroplane but the scale of the problem does not change the principle. Study it. Experiment. Fail. Adjust. Try again. Observe what works. Eliminate what doesn't. Improve what remains. I have come to believe that one of the greatest advantages a man can possess is the conviction that there is probably a way, even if he has not found it yet. That conviction makes him curious. It makes him resourceful. It makes him willing to learn from people who have gone further than he has. For thousands of years, man has been finding ways around the obstacles nature placed before him. He could not see in the dark, so he made light. He could not fly, so he built wings. He could not breathe underwater, so he built equipment that allowed him to explore the depths. He could not reach the moon, so he built a rocket. And when one generation discovered a way, the next generation found a way to improve it. Find a way. Refine the way. Master the way. And when the way has reached its limits, find a better one. That is how civilizations advance. And I believe that is how individuals should approach the business of living.

Always funny when I see muslims try to tell Christians that the Jews are not Christians and they don’t worship Jesus in Israel. Wow! Breaking news!!! Who would have thought? Lol. Something that is literally in the Bible oh. In fact, the rejection of Jesus and his religion by his tribe is literally why the Bible is divided into old and new testament. That's literally the whole story in the Bible.

All of you crashing out over this are so stupid. Where do you think Christians go for pilgrimage in the first place? Ijebu?

66 years of Nigeria reeling to and fro like a drunkard. When does it end?

Locked-in.

No one is as confused as this man. African who looks American who is a Muslim but dresses like a Christian, highly antisemitic but fights antisemitism.

I told you I'll push sense into you when I have the time, you no believe. "Free Palestine" from downtown Udoette street. No go warm eba.

.@Aniebietakpan07 I don try for you. If you still don't want to receive sense, I can understand that you may be genetically dumb.

.@Aniebietakpan07 You fool. I hope you learned today. Study a bit of history and stop being swayed by illogical propaganda. You don't matter in the scheme of things, apart from incoherent rambles. Even if anyone was to stop the Jews, definitely not you. You get light?

Cook the boy for me. He think say I be him mate.

xitter.gq/grok/status/2103885710… You are foolish. I am just doing you a favour.

You have to understand that each age and time has an ultimate way to make bread and be successful. It is your duty with a keen eye to sense the paradigm shift. In the pre-colonial era, wealth belonged to the farmers... more farms, more yam barns, more wealth. Think Okonkwo in things fall apart. Wealth was measure in Yam barns. Then the colonial era came and the wealthy became those who decided to be schooled and understand a little bit of English. They became court clerks and messengers to the white man, and were paid in cash, not by barter, thus becoming rich in their societies. Then came the post-colonial era, and the university craze began. A stable life belonged to the graduates. You needed a degree to work and make money. In the late 2000s, we subtly moved to the internet era. Wealth is now amassed digitally. A phone, internet connection, and the right information and you stay at home and out-earn the professors, the doctors, the lectures and all the poster-boys of the old order. The thing with change is that people, especially, the old generation refuse to adapt. To them, go to school, graduate, get a government job is the safe option. That’s what worked for them. That's what should work for you too. The thing with change is that what will be will be, and if you resist, you're only gonna join in very late when the ship has sailed. In order for the world to be fair, not everyone will join in or have the opportunity to sense this paradigm shift. But if you are lucky to know, get a digital skill. Make money from the internet. Find your footing. We are still early, yet we are getting late.

When you see Nigerian Christians criticizing Israel, just know that those are idiots with no self awareness. The same thing Israel is fighting against is in your backyard killing Christians like flies. No month passes without a mass burial. 2,550 Christians already dead in 2026. Yet since Hamas terrorists killed just 1200 people in Israel in 2023, Israel have burned down literally everything and everyone in involved. Don't you just love them?

Every UNGA is an opportunity for leaders without moral clarity to go on a ranting spree against Israel. Guess what? It's all virtue signaling. They do it on for the camera. In real life, they can't do without genius Israel. Jordan depends on 50 million cubic metres of water annually from Israel to survive. France wants intelligence and weapons from Israel. Turkey is still selling oil to Israel even at this very minute. Virtue signaling. Apart from cheap talks, what you gon do? Put body make dem beat you to pieces.

For three years, the Nigerian “president” has stayed away from the United Nations General Assembly in person. A one-eyed man among the blind. Put him among the well-sighted, and he knows he doesn’t belong.

Watching the UNGA, it is clear that most countries are headed by their finest breed: highly intelligent, cerebral people. Then there’s Nigeria. Africa’s most populous country, with probably three times as many brilliant minds as most African countries, yet headed by the worst of the lot.
