WHY I AM DOING THIS FROM THE BASICS...
Hey Everyone,
I am sure that many people have seen some of the images and videos that I have been using "A.I" to generate. ?
I am also sure that many people have been wondering to themselves, why is this guy wasting his time, learning with various platforms, instead of using the popular platforms that everyone else has been using and producing amazing results?
That's the thing.
In everything I ever lay my hands on, to do, I learn the basics.
For example, when I wanted to start doing Web Design, as a business, many people always "expected" me to do it only on WordPress, because that's the platform they are used to, and which they consider the most popular.
They were not interested in whether I had other preferences, or whether there were other ways of getting it done, with greater efficiency, speed or better quality.
I knew that the basics still existed, the likes of HTML/CSS/JS, I knew that other Website builders besides WordPress could do a better, more efficient Job, and I "chose" to learn about them.
You may ask WHY?
Here's why -
BEFORE WordPress:
there was Basic HTML--> front Page on Windows ---> Macromedia's Dreamweaver + Adobe Flash ---> the L.A.M.P Model ---> WordPress
AFTER WordPress
No Code Platforms like Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Builderall, Bubble and many others.
Each day, more efficient and better ways, more efficient and better technology come up to help you do the same thing, but in a better way.
IF you have spent any reasonable amount of time in Tech, you would always understand that there are BASICS, and then there are multiple ways of getting the same, or better results.
You also know that no system or way of getting things done ever remains forever; at any time, a particular system can become obsolete, and you will be forced into learning a new way.
Once upon a time, Macromedia's Dreamweaver was the "go-to" platform for any serious-minded web professional; the same thing with Adobe Flash was the go-to platform for any serious-minded Animator, until WordPress and HTML5 came along to take over each, respectively.
If we are to learn from Tech history, then we should know that the most popular systems being used for A. I Today, will eventually give way to future tech, which will be far better, much easier and much more efficient ways of doing it.
But the knowledge of the BASICS will remain important.
HTML is still important in the world of website design and development, the same way a basic knowledge of design principles is essential, whilst using Figma, or even Canva.
So, whilst I am learning, and building up skills in the basics of A.I, I will make mistakes, the "output" will not be perfect, and you will have many reasons to laugh at me for looking "silly"...
But, when i become proficient, i will have 10 different ways and platforms, that i can use in getting beautiful and awesome results.
I will not be "forced" into learning only one way, that can become obsolete, faster than a plate of "Eba"gets cold in Tech...
How am I doing in this Video?
Do you like the dance moves?
Or I look like an N.F.A (No Future Ambition) ?
There's a message in the video:
It's going to get better.
Yes, you may be going through all kinds of storms right now, but it is going to get better; Keep going, Keep hustling, Keep practising, Keep Praying
Life's going to get better.

Global Markets on Edge as Trump’s New Tariff Threat Looms
Just when the world thought things were calming down, a storm is brewing and it has everything to do with Trump and tariffs.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is back in the headlines, and this time he’s threatening to slam major economies like Japan, South Korea, and the EU with tariffs ranging from 10% to a whopping 70%. The deadline? July 9 just days away.
Now, global markets are reacting fast. Stocks across Asia and Europe are slipping, and although Wall Street is holding up for now, analysts say the tension is real. Nobody wants a repeat of the last trade war.
> “The global economy is fragile. Another round of tariffs could hit supply chains hard and push up prices for everyone,” one analyst warned.
Why Should You Care?
Because if these tariffs go through, you might feel it too — not just investors or big corporations. We're talking higher prices on phones, electronics, cars, even basic goods. Everything connected to international trade could get more expensive.
And let’s not forget — if the U.S. hits first, countries like China and the EU may strike back. That means more tension, slower trade, and even more market chaos.
What Now?
With just days left before Trump’s tariff threat could become reality, world leaders, business owners, and everyday people are watching closely.
Will diplomacy win, or are we headed for another global trade showdown?
Stay tuned. The countdown has begun.Global Markets on Edge as Trump’s New Tariff Threat Looms Just when the world thought things were calming down, a storm is brewing and it has everything to do with Trump and tariffs.

“The Pressure to Have It All Together Is Affecting Your Health — Here’s How”
Lately, have you felt constantly drained, on edge, or like you're always “on” even when your body just wants to rest? You’re not alone. Many of us live under the silent pressure to keep everything together—at work, at home, in our relationships—often at the expense of our own well-being. The truth is, this pressure doesn’t just affect your mood.
Mental Load = Physical Stress
When your brain is juggling 10 things at once—deadlines, family responsibilities, unread messages it’s in a near-constant state of alert. This mental load can lead to chronic stress, which in turn affects your sleep, digestion, immune system, and heart health. You might think you're just tired, but your body is actually reacting to emotional strain.
You're Probably Not Lazy You’re Burnt Out
If you've been waking up exhausted or struggling to concentrate, there's a chance you're not just being “lazy” or “unmotivated.” These can be signs of burnout or mental fatigue. Burnout is now recognized as a legitimate health condition by the World Health Organization—it’s your brain's way of saying “enough.”
The Hidden Toll of Suppressing Emotions
Burying your feelings to appear strong or “fine” can lead to somatic symptoms—things like tension headaches, stomach discomfort, body aches, or even high blood pressure. Emotional health is deeply tied to physical health, and ignoring one often disrupts the other.
Social Media Can Make It Worse
We see highlight reels of other people’s lives, and without realizing it, we compare. But comparison is a silent stressor. It can heighten anxiety, lower self-esteem, and fuel the pressure to appear put-together even when you’re falling apart inside.
Let’s Normalize Taking a Step Back
Your mind and body were not designed to be in overdrive all the time. Taking breaks, saying “no,” and getting support whether it’s from a friend or a therapist isn’t a luxury. It’s healthcare. Mental health is not something extra. It’s part of your total health.
Final Thought
You’re allowed to not be okay sometimes. And you don’t need to hit a crisis point to take care of yourself. Pay attention to your body’s signals. Exhaustion, mood swings, poor sleep, and frequent illnesses could all be signs that you’re doing too much. You matter—and so does your health.“The Pressure to Have It All Together Is Affecting Your Health — Here’s How” Lately, have you felt constantly drained, on edge, or like you're always “on” even when your body just wants to rest?

“We Just Wanted a Better Life” 104 Nigerians Return from Algeria After Rough Journey Abroad
For 104 Nigerians, Sunday night marked more than just a flight home , it was a second chance at life.
After battling harsh conditions, fear, and broken promises in Algeria, these returnees including 80 men, 14 women, and 10 children finally landed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, weary but relieved.
Their stories are similar: dreams of greener pastures across the border, only to face unpaid jobs, cramped shelters, detention, and constant fear of deportation. Some were stranded for months. Others hadn’t spoken to their families in over a year.
> “I just wanted to work and send money home. I never imagined it would be like this,” one returnee said with tears in his eyes.
Thanks to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the group was brought home under a voluntary return program that helps stranded migrants escape unsafe conditions abroad.
They were welcomed with medical care, food, and temporary shelter—but the bigger journey is just beginning: rebuilding their lives from the ground up.
Ibrahim Farinloye, NEMA’s Lagos coordinator, called it a “timely rescue” and urged others planning to migrate to avoid dangerous backdoor routes and seek legal, informed options.
> “They left chasing dreams but returned chasing survival,” he said. “Now it’s time to help them find new hope here at home.”
With over 70 million Nigerians already living in poverty, the government says it’s working on reintegration programs and job support to help returnees restart.
For these 104 Nigerians, it’s not just about coming back ;it’s about starting over.“We Just Wanted a Better Life” 104 Nigerians Return from Algeria After Rough Journey Abroad For 104 Nigerians, Sunday night marked more than just a flight home , it was a second chance at life.
