Like a fool, I did not plug my laptop in earlier this evening. Now they have taken light and I’m at 12% battery with another hour at least of work to do... #LetThereBeLight
I hear a NEPA whistle down the block. Please let the light come this way too!!
UP NEPAAAAA
Ok - I can’t praise god too loudly or he might take light again. But GLORY BE!!! Now I can work till midnight without any excuse to stop.

Oh wait...

Now I have to work till midnight and I have no excuse to stop.

😭

His Highness Khalifa Muhammad Sanusi II has got to be one of my top truth-tellers.

First, the good news: the war in Ukraine has negatively impacted many nations/regions, but Sub-Saharan Africa is actually doing BETTER than predicted so far this year.
Then, the bad news: if our woes in Nigeria can’t be linked to the war in Ukraine, that means our woes in Nigeria are linked to…. Nigeria. The dollar is gaining strength and we continue to be an oil economy with no oil revenue.

I’ve had a lot of strange experiences living in Nigeria for the past 12 years, but this is a new one! Currently flying from Lagos to Kaduna with a plane full of soldiers… 😳
Never seen anything like it! We are all mixed together, civilians and men/women in uniform. I tried to ask one of them about why they are flying commercial but he stonewalled me. I was like… “don’t you usually fly in military planes?” And he said “not today.”
I told the soldier “I’ve never had this experience before in my life” and he said “well, now you have.” 😂😂😂

Scientists love to argue about nature versus nurture. The “nature” argument makes the case that everything we are today and everything we will become tomorrow is all a result of our genetic background – it’s almost an argument about destiny.
If you’ve seen the movie GATTACA, you will understand this argument perfectly.
The “nurture” argument, on the other hand, makes the case that our environment and the way we were raised– everything from the cultural context, to our nutritional intake, to the habits that our parents help us form– plays a far larger role in determining the course of our lives.

A hard but important read. 👇🏾

I’m not sure how to organize my thoughts... I have friends & loved ones who served, & I don’t want to believe it was such a colossal waste. Some parts of this article are reminiscent of Vietnam, others reflexively make me think of Nigeria...
I’ve pasted some key parts of the article that stood out to me below.
1. Was al-Qaeda the enemy, or the Taliban? Was Pakistan a friend or an adversary? What about the Islamic State and the bewildering array of foreign jihadists, let alone the warlords on the CIA’s payroll? According to the documents, the U.S. government never settled on an answer.

"Supported by decades of research, the Lack of Fit model demonstrates that women face discrimination when there is a mismatch or “lack of fit” between the attributes perceived necessary for success in a male-typed domain and those that women are stereotypically believed to have."
"As a consequence, women are expected to be less capable than their male colleagues in male-dominated work contexts unless objective evidence of actual task performance proves otherwise."

"Venture funding allocations are particularly vulnerable to the gender bias that underlies the lack of fit phenomenon..."

Here are my thoughts on farming as a lifestyle versus farming as a business. Issa thread! Let’s see how far I get before this train starts moving... 🚂

🧵🪡🧵🪡
The long and short of things is that when you’re farming as a lifestyle, you are farming for what you can eat. By contrast, when you’re farming as a business, you are trying to get MORE out of the ground than what you put in (ie you are trying to turn a profit).
Wait a sec, you ask - don’t lifestyle farmers want to make money too? Well, no, not really. They just want their cost of production to be lower than the cost of purchasing the same thing in the open market.
