You need to watch this video. @tundefashola discussing Mambilla Power Plant. For the first time since conception circa 40 years ago, the Plant has reached EPC contract closure - the $5.7bn contract was signed a year ago. China Exim Bank now finalizing financing terms.
#Thread
Turns out between 1999 and 2015, the FG signed on three different contractors for Mambilla - different Govt different contractor. Matters ended up in court, a yuuge mess. @FMPWH under BRF finally resolved the matter, got all 3 contractors to enter a JV, and sign an EPC contract.
BRF: Mambilla Hydropower Plant will require, over 5-year course of contstruction, 18 MILLION 50kg bags of cement, & 18 MILLION tonnes of Aggregate (Sand,granite,laterite,stone)

Also,116 Nigerian companies - insurance, logistics, catering, etc - have submitted proposals to @FMPWH
Still on BRF: read this excerpt from his Speech at commissioning of the 287km Ikot-Ekpene—Alaoji—Ugwuaji Transmission Line, Nov 2016. One of the first major transmission projects completed by the @MBuhari Administration.

See how charms & court cases once held back the project

You haven’t heard the last of the Amaechi ‘tapes’. We are dealing with Principalities & Powers, who‘ll go to any lengths to fight dirty.

1. One of the fraudulently edited clips:

2. The original clip below. See how they edited out the ‘Corruption’ context
Let me summarize it for you. You can confirm what I’m saying in the audio clips above: the published one (taken from the @PremiumTimesng website / YouTube), and the original clip.

You be the judge, and check out the subtle, fraudulent, but professionally done edits yourself.
All over the clips are SUBTLE alterations like this, intended to change context. Cut out a few clarifying words here; join two unrelated bits very cleanly & professionally to alter the meaning/context

It’s actually very depressing - that anyone would go to these devious lengths.

Four years ago on new years eve, I set out to build for myself a robust habit of habit engineering. Looking back, doing this has been very transformative for me.

A thread 👇
1/ I was originally inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. He used to keep a sort of spreadsheet with a row for each day of the week and a column for each habit he was working on. In each cell he would mark whether or not he succeeded for that day/habit.
2/ Over the years, my version of Franklin's spreadsheet has evolved into a kind of personal "life operating system" that I call walrOS. It looks like this:

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

"It is very difficult to be a man. And what it involves, for me, anyway, is an ability to look at the world and to say what it is." —James Baldwin, born on this day.
This quote resonates particularly strongly for me at the moment, as I'm increasingly experiencing fears for the future that I don't know how to productively speak out loud in public.
Baldwin has always struck me as clinging simultaneously to despair and acceptance. This is the world, he says. How can we live in it? That's important today.

JEONGCHEOL SOULMATES AU;

When you turn 18, a glowing mark appears on your wrist, this exact mark also appears on the wrist of the one whom you're bound to be with.

But one day, the glow of the mark on Jeonghan's wrist faded into pitch black.

His soulmate died.
×××××××

Jeonghan was five years old when he noticed something glowing on the wrists of his parents.

He was curious why his parents had a glowing rose marked on their wrists. His eyes always trailed to it, silently wanting to know what was it and why they had it.

THREAD: Ready to get mindblown by #Bitcoin #CORE implementations and progress?

Volunteers around the world gather and cumulate tons of hours from the best minds on this planet about the topic. This is a gift, an invention made to humanity.
Forget about 2nd layer, it's already and way too mainstream as I recently stated.

Yet, welcome now to the "in between layers": "The new layer can be seen as a channel factory"

Now Smart contracts.

You tought #Bitcoin was dumb? First and foremost, you were wrong because $BTC has smart contracts *since the inception*: multisign and lately get timelocks (led to LN).

If you didn't know that, admit you're never really been interested in Bitcoin or lured?
