How Una Dey Take Do am?
Under Buhari, Nyesom Wike and Reno Omokri were your heroes. You celebrated them and there was nothing bad anyone could say about them to you.
Under Tinubu, same people have become your worst villains and there's nothing good anyone can say about them to you.
When killings happen in another region, you are loud in protest and vocal activism. When it happens in your own region, you go mute or explain it away when the culprits are your kith and kin.
A president derogatorilly labels a group of people as 'dot in a circle' and you call him out, justifiably though. Another president labels entire country "shit hole" or "disgraced" or any other derogatory words and you celebrate him.
A politician tells lies and you call him out or affirms criticism against him. Your favorite religious figure does same and you find a thousand and one reason why he must not be called out let alone criticised.
Whoever you like can never ever be wrong on anything. Whoever you don't like or hate can never ever be right on anything.
Whether this is some sort of charisma or ingenuity, I can't tell. I'm just wondering how una dey take do am🤷♂️

Congratulations Leo Messi for the 2026 Princess of Asturias Award for Sports.
Richly deserved recognition for your outstanding talent, which has left a lasting impact both on and off the pitch, making you a benchmark in world football due to your excellence, commitment to sport and solidarity.
A highly successful career during which FC Barcelona was a key part of your life and story. An inseparable bond that forms part of the Club’s legacy and for which your involvement will always be a source of pride.

A Drone With Only One Motor!
And a 3D-printed propeller. And somehow, it still manages to fly.
The really interesting part is how you control it.
By accelerating and decelerating the motor more than 300 times per second, you can control the drone's thrust, pitch, and roll.
The propeller spins at almost 20,000 RPM, with its tips approaching half the speed of sound.
Getting this to work required custom firmware, a homemade high-speed imaging setup to study the blades, and hundreds of crashes.
I've been sharing Joshua Bird's videos for quite a while now. I just love the things he comes up with and how much effort he puts into making them work.
We're also going to talk about a few other projects he's currently working on. More on that soon!
And if you want to take a closer look at how he built this thing, he's made the code and CAD files open source.

What exactly is lagos doing?
BREAKING: 24 States Approve State Police Constitutional Amendment, Meeting Two-Thirds Threshold
Approved states so far (24): Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers, Taraba, Yobe, Zamfara
Scheduled for Plenary (1)
Kano
Committee Review (2)
Bauchi, Katsina
Received (6)
Abia, Borno, Ebonyi, Kogi, Ondo, Sokoto
No Public Update
Jigawa, Lagos, Niger
What Happens Next
1. Complete the Constitutional Amendment
With 24 State Houses of Assembly having approved, the resolutions are sent back to the National Assembly. Once confirmed, the amendment proceeds for presidential assent. This creates the constitutional basis for State Police Services alongside a Federal Police Service.
2. Finalise and Pass the National Policing Bill
The draft National Policing Bill (and related consequential amendments) is currently under review by the Ministry of Justice. After validation and presidential consideration, it will go to the National Assembly for passage. This law sets the national standards, certification process, oversight, funding, and operational rules.
3. States Pass Their Own Laws
Each state that wants to operate a State Police Service must enact its own state law establishing it.
4. State Certification
No State Police Service can begin operations until the state is certified as meeting the national minimum standards. The process is phased: the constitutional change enables it, but certification is required before any actual policing starts.
5. Operational Launch
Once certified, the State Police Service can commence. Federal coordination, inspections, accountability mechanisms, and possible federal intervention remain in place.

Why do candidates like Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani have to keep proving they’re not a collection of stereotypes? @realmoamer dives into the Islamophobia running rampant in American politics

I won’t lie, the honorable minister is right here.
I used to be one of those who parrot that the FG takes too much, but the fact is that the FG takes less and has more responsibilities relative to what it is earning. I now see it differently after a proper analysis of the numbers (s/o to @andrewfootie).
The FAAC pool consists of two core revenue sources: statutory revenue and VAT.
Things like petroleum taxes, petroleum royalties, government petroleum earnings, company income taxes, capital gain taxes, stamp duty, custom duties, excise duties, custom levies, etc are all statutory revenue sources.
Statutory revenue sources account for roughly 70% of the FAAC pool.
Based on the statutory sources, the FG takes 52% while the states & LG take 48%.
Meanwhile, on VAT, the FG takes just 10%, while the states & LG take 90%.
So in effect, the FG takes 52% of statutory revenue, and 10% of VAT. When you run the numbers, the FG takes an effective 30% of the entire FAAC pool while the states & LGs take 70%.
In addition to that 70%, states enjoy 100% of personal income taxes. Therefore, if you factor the grand total of all revenue, the FG’s effective share is even smaller (maybe down to 25% thereabout).
This is an anomaly. It shouldn’t be. The responsibilities of the FG (especially in context of fiscal policy) means that they should be earning more.
For example, the share of the national govt in revenue pool:
• Nigeria: 30%
• South Africa: 49%
• U.S.A: 66%
• U.K.: 93%
So on this one, I very well agree with the honourable minister of finance. 💫👌🏻

After 5 years of building @AltSchoolAfrica with @AdewaleYusuf_ and @opeawo, today I’m officially stepping down as CTO and moving into the CEO role.
The goal is to provide global education to Africans at an affordable cost. Instead of going to the UK and spending £30,000 to get a degree, you can attend the same university through AltSchool for less than £15,000.
Same school, same lecturers, same BSc.
Equal value. Equal access. Local pricing.
I’m officially launching our degree programmes on degree.altschoolafrica.com, and over the next few months, you’ll see more global universities join the AltSchool network.
Welcome to the edX of Africa.

Young Yorùbá women shortened the ìró, crowned it with gèlè, and made it into fierce Ólèkú. Decades later, a new generation made it theirs.
