CM Fellowship: Where Young Ideas Meet Governance Attended the Chief Minister Fellowship Programme Appreciation and Commencement Ceremony 2026. The Chief Minister Fellowship Programme, launched in 2015, was envisioned to bring the fresh perspectives, creative thinking and field-based approach of young professionals into governance while creating meaningful learning opportunities through close engagement with the administrative system. The collaboration with IIT Bombay is giving the programme a more structured and academically grounded approach, further strengthening this exchange between young talent and public administration. Over the years, Fellows have made valuable contributions across several areas. Their inputs helped shape Maharashtra’s Startup Policy, supported the strengthening and repurposing of the Maharashtra State Innovation Society, and contributed to the development of district-level war rooms that enabled data-driven monitoring, ground-level assessment and more accurate evaluation of government programmes. Fellows have also contributed significantly to initiatives such as the Mukhyamantri Samruddha Panchayat Raj Abhiyan, various housing schemes including Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and efforts to create better market linkages for products made by farmers and women’s Self-Help Groups. Their field interventions have demonstrated how fresh ideas, when combined with administrative experience, can translate into meaningful outcomes on the ground. The CM Fellowship Programme is an ever-evolving journey. Each new batch carries the responsibility of building upon what has already been achieved, bringing sharper ideas, stronger execution and new solutions to the challenges of governance. Best wishes to the new batch of CM Fellows. The expectation is clear to learn, contribute, innovate and leave behind a body of work that creates lasting value for Maharashtra. Senior officials and other dignitaries were present. #Maharashtra #Mumbai #CMFellowship2026

If anyone ever tells you that Nigeria can’t compete with developed countries in delivering world-class healthcare, tell them that’s a big lie. We absolutely have the capacity — all we need is for our government to invest in healthcare instead of wasting public funds on unnecessary projects that add no real value to national growth. This is Evercare Hospital, Lekki, one of the best medical facilities in Nigeria today. If you know anyone in need of cardiac intervention, don’t hesitate to reach out to EvercareNG.

Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel, on how he handled the AI hype inside a $60 billion hedge fund: "i said, 'i want a list of all the GenAI-based projects that we have at Citadel.' he came back with 200 projects." "i said, 'no, no. five. we're going to do five.'" "'what about the other 195?'" "'we're going to kill all those. we're going to do five. we're going to push them really hard. we're going to see what works and what doesn't.'" "we can't afford to let everybody be pursuing random ad hoc projects. it's too expensive. it's too much of a distraction." "of the five that we pursued, we had real success with just over half." "i don't think we incurred any cost of killing 195 projects." this is one of the most important lessons in strategy development too. you don't need 200 ideas in research. you need 5 that you push hard enough to actually validate. most traders spread themselves across too many ideas and end up with none that are live.

In 2025… something strange happened in Nigeria. In every blockchain ecosystem, the chain provides the technology, but the community defines the culture, and Nigeria has become the standard of that culture on Solana . Nigeria stepped into the Solana ecosystem with impact. And 2025 proved it. Superteam Nigeria 🇳🇬 evolved from a community experiment into a movement that is powered by real builders, real output, and real economic results. With over $1million community GDP, the fact remains undebatable, a movement that visualized under the leadership of Harri and Nzube Ezudo . Projects within the network delivered measurable milestones: ➠ NectarFi🐝 processed over $1.7M in NGN & USD transactions. ➠ Jollofboard crossed $50M+ in total trading volume. ➠ Streamlink facilitated 23,000+ participants across thousands of live calls. These were not just notable mentions, they were proof of activity, adoption, and traction. Across Nigeria, guilds hosted workshops, design mixers, onboarding events, and developer meetups in many states like Kaduna, Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Abuja, Ogun, and Edo. Talent was not only emerging, it was organizing, collaborating, and documenting visible progress. Then came Solana Breakpoint. 110+ countries represented. Industry leaders, founders, and investors under one roof. And Nigeria was there, confidently, culturally, and with contributions to show. Superteam Nigeria 🇳🇬 demonstrated what can happen when a community prioritizes merit over hierarchy, collaboration over competition, and opportunity over gatekeeping. The Nigerian Solana ecosystem did not just grow in 2025, it reshaped expectations of what a global Web3 community can become. And where most chains search for community identity, Nigeria built a very strong one on Solana and now the world is paying attention! #SuperteamNG2025

Peller is trending because the secondary school drop-out TikToker is humiliating Nigerian University graduates for an ordinary ₦500k monthly salary. He kicked one out for having the audacity to correct his English. And another for not being “poor enough”. Days ago he announced he is looking to hire a cameraman, — but must be a 22yrs old MSc holder. And he needs only 20 people to apply, from which he’d pick 2. Today, he met the 20 people and live streamed the dark interview. Which many educated Nigerians are describing as “humiliating.” Interestingly, most of them do not have a Masters Degree. According to his regular fans, since he’s uneducated, he’s trying to prove that “school na scam”. Because, he’s been taunted over his illiteracy since his fame. Meanwhile, others think it’s just content to trend, because clearly the candidates do not have Masters Degrees. In two of the interviews, the candidates were fresh graduates, just Bsc, no MSc. - Straight outta campus. One has just WAEC. Apparently it’s just cruise. Because Peller has a full crew and extra on standby. Still, this dark humor is not going well with Nigerians. Follow Trending Explained for daily explanations!

Nigeria now commands the 22nd most powerful naval force in the world and number one in Africa. This is based mostly on fleet size, with 152 naval vessels. However, without a single missile armed vessel, the Navy today remains largely a littoral force, less capable than it was in the 1980s. In 2020, the navy entered discussions with China for the acquisition of the Type 054A frigate (Type 054AN export variant), with delivery projected for 2026. For reasons that remain unclear, the navy withdrew from the deal. The Nigerian Navy has the capacity to project raw power across the Gulf of Guinea through its LST NNS Kada. What it lacks, however, are surface ships with real fangs, a modern missile armed warship.

THEY CAN’T DO PUSH-UPS ⁉️ You’d be SURPRISED with how many HS & MS athletes that simply can’t do push-ups. (I know too many adults that can’t do push-ups either…) Why is that the case? 🚩 Too many coaches use push-ups for punishment & fitness at a young age without ever teaching the correct way to do a push-up… 🚩 Too many coaches emphasizing QUANTITY rather than QUALITY… Best way to fix it? ▪️Elevate the hands The higher your hands are, relative to your feet, the easier the push-up. It’s an auto-correct way to get better at push-ups. And I think it’s significantly easier than teaching “knees on the ground.” As you progress, lower the elevation. QUALITY >>> QUANTITY Here are some great coaching cues & models that can help fix issues: ✅ Hand placement slightly outside of chest. Fingers pointed straight ahead. ✅ Aim to touch the middle of your chest between your hands ✅ Your arms & torso should form the letters “A” or “I” ✅ “Screw your hands into the ground” ✅Lead with your chest, not your forehead ✅Body should rise & fall as one ❌ Your arms & torso should NOT form the letter “T” ❌ Your face should NOT track between your hands BONUS: Elevated push-ups are a great progression for athletes who CAN do great push-ups. The extra mobility will help get stronger in more extreme ranges of motion.

In this video, Atiku Abubakar boldly revealed that he dragged his boss, Olusegun Obasanjo, to court eleven times — and never once had to “meet” a judge behind the scenes to get justice. Think about that for a moment. A man challenging a sitting president repeatedly… and still trusting the system enough to win through due process. That is what real democratic credentials look like. Now ask yourself — can the same be said about Nigeria today? If Nigeria truly worked the way it should, people with this level of confidence in the rule of law would be the ones leading the country — not sidelined, not questioned, not doubted. The problem isn’t that we lack capable leaders… The problem is that the system doesn’t always reward credibility. Until that changes, we’ll keep recycling the same story — different faces, same struggles. #AlaBruce Rivers, Nigeria 🇳🇬

$Really interesting framing from Pranav Adani today on how large-scale capital views development: infrastructure creation is fundamentally a responsibility, not just speculative real estate. You see Adani Group's dual approach playing out in Maharashtra. On one end, scaling up regional economic capacity through massive projects like the Navi Mumbai airport city. On the other, executing deeply human interventions like the Dharavi regeneration, where the explicit goal is providing eligible residents with secure homes and modern public spaces without fracturing their economic livelihoods.$

Today we stood with the people of Chertsey, laying flowers for that poor two-year-old angel. We showed the community they are not alone, many of us have no choice but to stand up. That poor little girl was the same age as my own and she was ripped away in the most brutal way by a man who should never have been in this country. This is becoming far too common: men not born here committing horrific crimes against our women and children. Whether they come through the front door or not, they should never be here. Flowers and words are not enough. We honoured her today… but action is coming. We’ve had enough.

Today we're announcing Base Labs, a dedicated research organization focused on advancing open-source AI. We believe in a healthy, open frontier model ecosystem. To enable this, we are working on: - Blue-sky research on continual learning, the science of RL, and how models learn across their full lifecycle, with every experiment and recipe shared openly. - The BaseHub Data Foundry: the highest-quality open RL environments, training data, and real-world benchmarks, built for anyone to train and benchmark on. - Post-post training: taking open-source models and making them better, safer, and more aligned through continual post-training, built on our research, and deployed with our frontier safety stack so organizations can use open-source models with confidence. - Making models cheaper and more performant through our model performance research. This is a mission-driven research effort, not a commercial product. We believe the health of the open-source AI ecosystem matters and that the best way to advance it is to do science in the open. We’re hiring engineers, researchers, and research fellows to advance this mission.

Peter Obi is the kind of leader who sees while sitting down what many politicians cannot see even when they climb a tree. He understands leadership, capacity and the consequences of political decisions long before others begin to see the danger. In 2014, Obi warned Nigerians not to confuse Buhari’s past as Head of State with the capacity to govern a modern Nigeria decades later. Buhari was still packaged as a messiah by Tinubu, Sowore and their likes. After four years of economic decline and hardship, many of the same people still insisted he must continue for another four years because he needed to complete the transformation he started. We warned he was clueless and ineptitude and there was nothing he was doing. Today, the same pattern is repeating itself with Tinubu. The economy is battered, Nigerians are struggling, businesses are suffocating, yet some people are already demanding eight years. At what point does blind loyalty become wickedness to your own country? If a government is failing, demanding more years for it is not patriotism. That is the difference between foresight and political blindness. Obi looks beyond slogans, political worship and nostalgia. He thinks about competence, capacity, consequences and the future. Nigeria ignored that kind of foresight once and paid heavily for it. Repeating the same mistake again is not loyalty. It is choosing politics, religion or ego over the country. Una no really like this country.

✨ The problem with US foreign aid ✨ My co-founder Faisal Saeed Al Mutar gave this TED Talks a month before the election last year, shedding light on why traditional aid just seems to disappear into an abyss without results to show for it and how to reform it. Little did he know that Trump would take office and send a wrecking ball into many institutions involved in aid and development work. When all the frivolous spending came to light, Elon Musk asked: which organization was free of USAID funds? Well.. Ideas Beyond Borders. We reimagined aid as an investment rather than charity, by directly funding local entrepreneurs with market-driven ideas. Privately. Not through tax payer dollars. Thanks to tylercowen for setting the precedent with Emergent Ventures and advising us

Why Our Idea of Empowerment Is Not Working. For decades, Nigeria has pursued empowerment as a development strategy. Every year, governments at all levels distribute grants, sewing machines, tricycles, grinding machines, motorcycles, fertilizers and various forms of financial assistance. Yet poverty remains stubbornly high, unemployment remains a challenge, and millions continue to struggle at the margins of economic survival. The question therefore must be asked: Why is our empowerment model not producing the transformation we seek? The answer may be uncomfortable. We have largely mistaken empowerment for development. Too often, our approach to poverty eradication and job creation has been rooted in tokenism rather than transformation. We measure success by the number of items distributed, the number of beneficiaries photographed, or the number of people who receive one-off support. What we rarely measure is how many people have successfully moved from one economic level to the next. Nations are not built by distribution. Nations are built by ideas, institutions and structures that enable continuous economic advancement. The akara seller, tailor, welder, carpenter, mechanic and market trader should not be viewed as recipients of government generosity. They should be viewed as participants in a deliberate growth ladder. The objective should not merely be to help them survive today. The objective should be to help them become more productive tomorrow. A woman frying akara today should be able to become a supplier to schools and offices tomorrow. The supplier of tomorrow should become a food processor next. The processor should become a manufacturer. The manufacturer should become an exporter. The exporter should become an innovator. That is what development looks like. The most successful economies in history understood that prosperity is created when millions of people are assisted in moving upward through structured stages of productivity. Growth occurs when economic actors are continuously upgraded, not when they are continuously subsidized. Unfortunately, much of our empowerment architecture has no scaling mechanism. We hand out resources but provide no pathway for progression. We celebrate beneficiaries but rarely track transformation. We focus on access rather than advancement. The result is predictable. Every year new beneficiaries emerge to replace old beneficiaries because the system has not fundamentally altered their economic position. What Nigeria needs is not another empowerment programme. Nigeria needs a national scaling framework. Such a framework would identify the lowest rung of economic activity and deliberately create pathways upward through training, financing, market access, technology adoption, business formalization and industrial integration. Every intervention should answer one question: How does this move the beneficiary to the next level of productivity? The true measure of success is not how many people receive assistance. It is how many people no longer need it. Until we shift from a culture of empowerment to a culture of economic progression, poverty reduction will remain elusive. The future belongs not to programmes that distribute opportunity in small doses, but to systems that systematically scale human potential. The difference may appear subtle, but it is the difference between managing poverty and creating prosperity. Otunba Segun Showunmi The Alternative. N:B When I tell you this man(Oko Iya Alakara aka President Bola Ahmed Tinubu)is in a class of his own I kid you not! Look at how he took ownership of what many might consider a vexing issue. I greet you.

We measure success by the number of items distributed, the number of beneficiaries photographed, or the number of people who receive one-off support. What we rarely measure is how many people have successfully moved from one economic level to the next. Nations are not built by distribution. Nations are built by ideas, institutions and structures that enable continuous economic advancement. The akara seller, tailor, welder, carpenter, mechanic and market trader should not be viewed as recipients of government generosity. They should be viewed as participants in a deliberate growth ladder. The objective should not merely be to help them survive today. The objective should be to help them become more productive tomorrow. A woman frying akara today should be able to become a supplier to schools and offices tomorrow. The supplier of tomorrow should become a food processor next. The processor should become a manufacturer. The manufacturer should become an exporter. The exporter should become an innovator. That is what development looks like. The most successful economies in history understood that prosperity is created when millions of people are assisted in moving upward through structured stages of productivity. Growth occurs when economic actors are continuously upgraded, not when they are continuously subsidized. Unfortunately, much of our empowerment architecture has no scaling mechanism. We hand out resources but provide no pathway for progression. We celebrate beneficiaries but rarely track transformation. We focus on access rather than advancement. The result is predictable. Every year new beneficiaries emerge to replace old beneficiaries because the system has not fundamentally altered their economic position. What Nigeria needs is not another empowerment programme. Nigeria needs a national scaling framework. Such a framework would identify the lowest rung of economic activity and deliberately create pathways upward through training, financing, market access, technology adoption, business formalization and industrial integration. Every intervention should answer one question: How does this move the beneficiary to the next level of productivity? The true measure of success is not how many people receive assistance. It is how many people no longer need it. Until we shift from a culture of empowerment to a culture of economic progression, poverty reduction will remain elusive. The future belongs not to programmes that distribute opportunity in small doses, but to systems that systematically scale human potential. The difference may appear subtle, but it is the difference between managing poverty and creating prosperity. Otunba Segun Showunmi The Alternative.

Every step in my journey as Saudi trainer is about seeking out new perspectives, and this last trip was truly meaningful. I’m especially grateful to my friend and brother Humberto Gomez , a remarkably talented rider on Bob Baffert’s team. I spent time at Santa Anita with HoF Bob Baffert , who not only shared his knowledge, but personally took me through the racetrack and walked me through the daily routine during my stay. As a Saudi trainer, these moments were priceless. Humberto’s support, along with Bob’s hands-on guidance and the entire team, gave me fresh inspiration. I also want to thank Amy Zimmerman at Santa Anita Park for their warm hospitality during the Santa Anita Derby. These strategic connections, built through time with all involved , add real value, strengthening the racing industry in both Saudi and the US. 🇸🇦🏇🏻🇺🇸

WHY MANY BELIEVERS STILL STRUGGLE: YOU NEED BOTH OIL AND CAPACITY Every time there is access to oil, but you’re still struggling, it’s a capacity problem; you need to build capacity. However, when there are plenty of vessels and still no impact, it’s an oil problem. These two issues, lack of oil and lack of capacity, are the major struggles among Believers in the Body of Christ today. Some have all the information they need, yet their spirit man has not been quickened. They lack the fire of intimacy, the discipline of prayer, and the sensitivity that comes from true fellowship with the Holy Spirit. So while they can speak intelligently and quote Scripture, there remains a gap between revelation and manifestation, because the oil is missing. Others, however, have oil; they pray, they fast, they fellowship, but have not contended for superior knowledge. Their walk with the Holy Spirit is sincere but shallow, limited by religious bias. Sometimes, in the name of spirituality, they drift away from the Word. Yet, the true proof of intimacy with the Holy Spirit is that He continually leads you to the Word of God. It’s also possible to study the Bible religiously and still remain powerless, full of head knowledge but empty of life. You can be a vessel, yet an empty one. And no one comes to buy from an empty vessel. It’s the filled vessel that becomes a treasure to be desired. To walk in wisdom and influence in the Kingdom, you must learn to balance both: capacity through knowledge and oil through intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
