Facts matter. In 11 months, Nigeria’s solid minerals sector delivered ₦63.92bn to the Federation Account. That result sits squarely within the Renewed Hope economic direction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialabat and the reform-focused stewardship of Dr. Dele Alake @alakedele. A sector plagued by neglect is now contributing meaningfully to national revenue — even under security constraints. Momentum has started. Direction is clear. This is how serious governance looks. #RenewedHope #EconomicDiversification #SolidMineralsNG

BURNA BOY MADE OVER 42 BILLION NAIRA FROM ONE ALBUM TOUR. THE GREATEST! 🐐

Leadership is not understood through noise. It is understood through study. In this picture is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 1994. At the time, he stood out quietly. He was the only one wearing a cap marked with the ♾️ infinity emblem. No applause. No crowd imitation. No trending conversations. Today, that same symbol has become a national emblem, worn by millions. That is how leadership works. Great leaders are often distinct long before they are celebrated. They carry signs, habits, unique traits, ideas, excellence, philosophies, discipline, and vision that many overlook until history gives them context. Leadership leaves clues long before it leaves legacies. This is why it is dangerous to blindly follow leaders without understanding them, and equally dangerous to blindly criticize them without studying them. Every leader has: • Mistakes to learn from • Failures that shaped their resilience • Successes that reveal strategy • Achievements that reflect endurance • A lifest...

Elephants flap their large ears to help release excess body heat through a dense network of blood vessels. As blood circulates close to the ear’s thin skin, heat is transferred to the surrounding air. Flapping increases airflow, speeding up the cooling process much like a natural fan. This mechanism is especially important because elephants have massive bodies that retain heat easily. Without efficient sweat glands, ear flapping becomes a vital strategy for maintaining a stable body temperature.

The first time Ronaldinho caught everyone's attention with his talent was when his team won 23-0, and he scored all the goals. This was back in 1993, while he was playing in the youth divisions of Gremio. "I scored 23 goals in a single match, but the kids we played against were terrible. I think they only played physical education for fun," he recalled. "I was already part of a team, which says a lot. It was in fifth grade, and I have to admit, it was never that easy again."

Richard Smallwood, a singer-songwriter who became a chart-topping stalwart of gospel music and whose songs were performed by artists like Destiny’s Child and Whitney Houston, died Dec. 30. He was 77.
