So, I had a relative who was equally from a relatively wealthy home. Years passed, and the patriarch of the home died. This particular relative was the prodigal daughter of the home; she was simply the black sheep... In Africa and Nigeria, particularly, funerals are not just party affairs but also family affairs. Bent on making sure that she wouldn’t be left out, Moji told everyone not to worry about the casket that she would purchase. On D-Day, lo and behold, there was an elegant casket. No one believed Moji, the black sheep, was capable of that. The family members poured encomiums on her. Burial done and dusted! Many days passed, and some individuals beseeched the family home; they introduced themselves as the funeral home that supplied the casket, that it was picked on credit, and that they had waited for a while and since payment was not forthcoming they had to come personally to collect their money. Apparently, Moji got the casket (Yes, on credit). Eventually, the family paid for it. Many absurd stories have happened. The patriarch was buried in a casket and gone to his ancestors. Nigeria is Moji! Now come with me... let us finish the story. In the labyrinth of challenges confronting Nigeria, recent tragedies have cast a glaring spotlight on the multifaceted issues bedeviling the nation. Over mere days, three separate stampedes during Christmas charity events resulted in the deaths of at least 67 individuals, including scores of children. The events, intended to bring relief during a season of cheer, turned into devastating reminders of a nation at odds with itself—where poverty, desperation, and psychosocial dysfunction intertwine to produce a reality that is both tragic and absurd. On December 18, 2024, the city of Ibadan, known for its vibrant culture and historic landmarks, became the site of unimaginable sorrow. A Christmas funfair aimed at providing cash handouts, free food, and scholarships turned deadly as crowd control failed amidst a massive turnout. What should have been a celebration of generousity became a catastrophe, claiming the lives of 35 children. The event, organised by a local figure in collaboration with a women’s foundation and a radio station, lacked the safety measures necessary to manage the overwhelming crowd. Tragedy struck again in Anambra and Abuja, where similar charity events spiraled into chaos. In Anambra, 22 lives were lost as people scrambled for food distributed by a philanthropist. In Abuja, a church-organised charity event saw 10 individuals perish in yet another avoidable disaster. These incidents, spread across different regions, expose a systemic issue—Nigeria’s inability to manage desperation in an era of escalating economic hardship. While it is easy to attribute these tragedies solely to poverty, such an analysis would barely scratch the surface. Yes, the cost-of-living crisis in Nigeria is acute, with inflation, unemployment, and widespread poverty forcing many to the brink. But these events also reveal a deeper psychosocial crisis. The desperation driving people to risk their lives for food or meager handouts stems from a collective psyche battered by years of systemic neglect. These stampedes are not merely the byproducts of economic hardship; they are also the result of a national mindset shaped by scarcity and survivalism. In a society where the majority feel perpetually shortchanged, opportunities—even those as simple as free rice—are perceived as zero-sum games where only the swiftest or strongest survive. Charity in Nigeria often borders on performative philanthropy, where organisers prioritise optics over substance. Many of these events are designed as public relations spectacles, with little regard for the safety or dignity of beneficiaries. The chaotic scenes at these events are emblematic of a larger failure: a culture that emphasises appearances while neglecting structural solutions to systemic issues. At the core of these tragedies lies a network of systemic failures: 1. Regulatory Lapses Despite repeated occurrences of stampedes, there is no clear regulatory framework for managing public gatherings. Crowd control is treated as an afterthought, and safety protocols are virtually nonexistent. 2. Governance Without Accountability Governmental responses to these incidents often follow a predictable script—arrests are made, committees are formed, and investigations are promised. Yet, tangible changes are rarely implemented. This cycle of negligence and impunity exacerbates the problem, leaving citizens vulnerable to future disasters. 3. Economic Inequities The cost-of-living crisis is not just an economic issue; it is a governance failure. Years of mismanagement have created an environment where necessities are inaccessible to large swathes of the population. Charity, therefore, becomes a lifeline rather than a supplement, exposing the absence of effective social safety nets. Critics may argue that these tragedies are inevitable in a nation plagued by poverty. However, reducing the issue to poverty alone ignores the psychosocial and cultural dimensions. Consider this: even in resource-constrained societies, dignity, order, and humanity can be preserved through planning and accountability. The recurring stampedes in Nigeria are not just about scarcity—they reflect a failure of imagination and empathy. It is high time Nigerians interrogate the ethos surrounding public charity. While organisers shoulder significant blame, the public also plays a role in perpetuating the chaos. A sense of entitlement combined with years of neglect has bred a survivalist mentality that often disregards communal welfare. This is not to victim-blame but to highlight the need for a societal shift towards collective responsibility and discipline. To prevent a recurrence of such tragedies, Nigeria must take a multipronged approach that addresses the root causes while implementing immediate safeguards: 1. Economic and Social Reforms – Invest in policies that create sustainable employment opportunities. – Strengthen social safety nets to reduce dependence on ad hoc charity events. – Address inflation and the rising cost of living through sound fiscal and monetary policies. 2. Regulation of Public Gatherings – Enforce strict guidelines for organising public events, including mandatory crowd control measures and risk assessments. – Introduce penalties for organisers who fail to adhere to safety protocols. 3. Community Education – Launch awareness campaigns to educate the public on the risks of overcrowding and the importance of orderly conduct at public events. 4. Rethinking Charity – Shift from performative charity to systemic solutions, focusing on sustainable poverty alleviation rather than one-off handouts. 5. Accountability Mechanisms – Establish independent bodies to investigate public tragedies and hold both private and governmental entities accountable. The irony of these tragedies lies in their timing—during the season of goodwill and cheer. In a nation where the phrase “we are managing” has become a mantra, these incidents highlight how deeply embedded the culture of managing chaos has become. Nigerians have a knack for finding humour even in dire situations, but some absurdities, like stampedes over food, demand outrage rather than resigned laughter. These tragedies should not be reduced to another chapter in Nigeria’s book of woes. Instead, they should serve as a rallying cry for change. To move beyond the absurdity, we must embrace a collective resolve to dismantle the systems that perpetuate poverty, desperation, and neglect. Nigeria’s story need not always be one of chaos and loss. With intentional reforms, a shift in cultural attitudes, and a commitment to accountability, we can write a new narrative—one where charity uplifts rather than endangers and where the value of human life is truly upheld. Let this be the moment we refuse to normalise the absurd. Let this be the moment we demand better because Nigeria deserves more, and so do her people–Only time will tell.

Elected in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, the former governor of Georgia, ran as a Washington outsider and rose to the White House with a strong sense of morality, an engineer's mind and a progressive, moderate approach to governing. Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100, after going into hospice care in February 2023 at his home in Plains, Georgia, served only a single term in office but devoted the decades that followed to bettering the lives of countless people across the U.S. and around the world. He faced massive crises during his presidency — sky-high oil prices, double-digit interest rates and inflation, and the Iran hostage crisis — and his failure to effectively address them resulted in his failure to win reelection in 1980. He also had some major accomplishments, including the negotiation of a peace deal between Egypt and Israel. But it is his widely lauded post-presidency, characterized by tireless peace and humanitarian efforts, that is likely to be his most enduring legacy. After leaving office in 1981, Carter became an important diplomatic figure, securing the release of political prisoners in Nicaragua in 1986 and of American Aijalon Gomes from North Korea in 2010. He served as a negotiator with North Korea during the Clinton administration, and even offered his services to then-President Trump in talks with North Korea. Along with his wife, Rosalynn Carter — who died at age 96 on Nov. 19, 2023 — he founded the Carter Center in 1982, a nonprofit human rights organization that took on as its broad mission the alleviation of human suffering. Through the work of the Carter Center, he devoted himself to preventing and resolving global conflicts, promoting freedom and democracy, and improving the health of millions of people around the world. Among other initiatives, the Carter Center oversaw efforts to conduct free and fair elections in dozens of countries in the developing world, and helped lead global efforts to eliminate Guinea worm disease , which spread through unfiltered drinking water and once sickened millions across Africa. Carter was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work in advancing democracy and human rights through the Carter Center. "We have transformed the lives of, I would say, millions of people, primarily in the poorest and most destitute and forgotten communities in the world," he told CBS News ' Rita Braver in a 2006 interview. The Carters also worked for decades with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for those in need. Carter first became involved in 1984 and remained active building homes with the organization for decades. The day after he fell in his Plains, Georgia, home in October 2019 , leaving him with a black eye and stitches at the age of 95 , Carter still traveled to Tennessee to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn sponsored the Carter Work Project at Habitat for Humanity for over 30 years. According to the organization , the Carters have worked "alongside 104,000 volunteers in 14 countries to build, renovate and repair 4,390 homes." A devout Christian, the former president also made an impact in his local community as a teacher. He taught Sunday School at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains until nearly the end of his life. He also taught at Emory University in Atlanta for nearly 40 years. Carter acknowledged that his post-presidential activities had earned him higher regard than he'd experienced in office. "Certainly my reputation has been better in the post-presidential years than maybe in the White House," he said in that 2006 interview . "But I think that when people look at back on what we did in the White House, I think there's a lot there of justifiable pride." Throughout his post-presidency, he was never afraid to speak out when troubled by policies of those who succeeded him in the White House. He was an early and vocal critic of the war in Iraq begun under President George W. Bush, and he opposed the Obama administration's use of drone strikes to target suspected terrorists. He criticized Trump for " exacerbating " racial tensions and being " careless with the truth ," telling CBS News' John Dickerson in 2018, "I think I went through my campaign and my presidency without ever lying to the people or making a deliberately false statement, and I think that would be a very worthwhile thing to reinsert into politics these days." He added that he wished Trump well "and I pray for him." Carter joined fellow past presidents in condemning the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and he marked the date one year later by writing : "I now fear that what we have fought so hard to achieve globally — the right to free, fair elections, unhindered by strongman politicians who seek nothing more than to grow their own power — has become dangerously fragile at home. ... For American democracy to endure, we must demand that our leaders and candidates uphold the ideals of freedom and adhere to high standards of conduct." Carter wrote 33 books, including memoirs about his life and career, as well as books on other topics like faith and aging. He and Rosalynn Carter were married for 77 years, and were known for their devotion to one another. They are survived by their four children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

T he Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is advising the public of a deterioration of marine conditions around Barbados due to northerly sea swells from Sunday until Thursday. The strengthening of a mid-latitude cyclone in the central Atlantic is expected to generate northerly sea swells across Barbados and the region. Swells of 1.5 to 2.5 metres are likely to impact the coastal waters of Barbados during this swell event. There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados for this marine event. Choppy sea conditions mainly along the western coastlines of Barbados are expected from as early as Sunday night and expected to last until the morning of Thursday. These conditions are predicted to peak from Monday into Tuesday. Marine users are encouraged to follow the advice and warnings provided by the National Conservation Commission and their lifeguards. Additionally, users should monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates over the coming days.

(BMS)Jim Montgomery was hired as coach of the NHL's St. Louis Blues on Sunday, five days after being fired as coach of the Boston Bruins. The 55-year-old Canadian, who guided Boston to an NHL record for wins and points in a season but never got past the second round of the playoffs, replaced Drew Bannister, who was fired after a 9-12-1 start by the Blues this season. An 8-9-3 start this season by the Bruins led to Montgomery's firing, but he signed a five-year contract with the Blues. "This was more an opportunity to get someone of Jim's caliber more than anything else," Blues president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong said. "We've had to deal with our situations off the ice with injuries and everyone deals with that, but this decision was based 100% on having someone of Jim's caliber becoming available when I didn't know that was going to happen." Montgomery is 180-84-33 as an NHL coach, having guided Dallas for two seasons and Boston for just over two campaigns, going 120-41-23 with the Bruins. In the 2022-23 season, the Bruins won an NHL record 65 games and compiled a record 135 points under Montgomery, who was named the NHL's Coach of the Year, but were upset by Florida in the first round of the playoffs. Boston also lost to the eventual 2024 Stanley Cup champions in last year's playoffs. Montgomery was dropped by the Bruins last Tuesday and replaced by Joe Sacco. "He certainly has a very positive demeanour, works well with the top players in the organizations that he's been with," Armstrong said. "He has a wealth of experience and he's at the prime of his coaching career." The Blues, who won the 2019 Stanley Cup, have missed the playoffs the past two seasons. Bannister went 39-31-6 as the Blues coach after replacing Craig Berube last December. Montgomery gets his first test with the Blues on Monday when they visit the New York Rangers. js/sevAs S-Esposito continues to impress at Empoli and garner interest from clubs across Europe, his future remains bright, and the discussions surrounding his potential permanent move to Empoli only add to the excitement and intrigue surrounding his career trajectory. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates on this developing transfer saga and the next chapter in the young forward's promising career.

Passengers travelling to the airport can also do a handful of things to help them get to the airport safely and on time when they are due to travel with the airport sharing some tips to help. Manchester Airport said: “With more than 20 miles of runways and taxiways – plus a significant road network, miles of footpaths, a train, tram and bus station and several sizeable car parks – keeping it running during the worst of the winter’s weather is no small task. #TravelTipTuesday 🕶️ Breeze through security by staying updated on what you can and can't bring through🎒 Check out our Guide to Going Through Security and stay updated on all regulations⬇️ https://t.co/6Sz3fiCexo pic.twitter.com/xxwqTUF2rs “But despite that, significant disruption due to snow and ice is rare because of the work that goes into mitigating the effects.” Plan your journey in advance The airport encourages passengers to plan their journey in advance, allow extra time and check travel conditions on the way to the airport as snow and ice can cause disruption on road and rail. Make sure to check travel information via popular apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps and look out for travel news on TV and radio. Train travel can also be affected by cold weather but operators and services like Trainline will update you if your journey is affected by significant delays. Any type of travel is likely to be slower in cold weather so allow extra time, the airport suggests. Be prepared in case you get stuck en route The airport suggests making sure you are prepared in case you get stuck or significantly delayed en route to the airport. If you are driving, it’s a good idea to have food, a drink, warm clothes, sturdy shoes, a blanket, a phone charger, de-icer, a warning triangle, a torch, a first aid kit and a shovel. A post shared by Manchester Airport (@manairportuk) If you are on the train, make sure you have a phone charger, warm clothes and things to keep you and your family occupied. Dress appropriately for the colder weather Make sure you are dressed for the weather in the UK – not just for wherever you are going. If you are going somewhere warm it may seem inconvenient to take a coat, hat, gloves and sturdy shoes with you but you will be glad of them if you face delays on the way to the airport or on your way home, the airport says. Check communication from your airline and airport Keep an eye out for communications from your airline and from the airport. Your airline will inform you of any significant issues with your flight. Make sure you can access your emails and follow your airline on social media. Some airlines have apps that will send alerts directly to your phone if there are updates. Manchester Airport said in the event that the airport’s airfield has to close it will post details on social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), when it closes and when it reopens and will provide regular updates in the interim. With cold weather and possible snowfall expected, we’re taking steps to minimise disruption ❄️ If you are travelling to the airport in the coming days, please prepare in advance and take extra care. Tips for safe travel 👇 🚆 Rail and bus services may face delays or... pic.twitter.com/pMkf8plUut Be careful Snow and ice can make surfaces slippery so take care. The airport grits and treats all footpaths, walkways and car parks and monitors them throughout the day. Monitoring the weather Weather can vary very quickly across Manchester Airport as it’s surrounded by hills so it uses forecasting systems to monitor the exact air pressure around the airfield, the precise level of the clouds and more. This means that teams at the airport know when snow is likely to start falling as well as the temperature of the tarmac on the airfield and the likelihood of any snow settling. This also helps the airport understand what type of snow is likely to be around. Snow is easier to clear when the temperature is below -2c because it is drier as all the moisture in it is frozen. Above that temperature, not all the moisture will be frozen meaning it turns to slush and ice that are more slippery and harder to clear. Putting extra staff in place During the winter months, there are extra staff on rotas all over the airport, including an adverse weather standby team who can be deployed depending on the forecast. A 100-person resilience team is also trained in different roles around the airport who can help out.

Grit isn’t suitable for airfields as it is corrosive and can damage aircraft so the airport uses a de-icing fluid on the runways and taxiways that prevents them from freezing. The surface of the runway is also slightly grooved to improve grip in cold weather. Specialist snow and ice-clearing vehicles Manchester Airport has a fleet of more than 30 snow-clearing vehicles fitted with ploughs, blowers, brushes and more.

OpenAI, Artificial Intelligence company and maker of popular chatbot ChatGPT, has officially announced its reasons for transitioning into a for-profit organization, lays out plans. The company via a post on its website noted that the significant shift in its corporate structure was necessitated to ensure the long-term success of its mission, which is to ensure that Artificial Intelligence (AI) benefits all of humanity. This transition involves restructuring OpenAl’s existing for-profit arm into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), designed to balance the interests of shareholders, stakeholders, and the broader public. The move reflects the organization’s evolving priorities, focusing on sustainable operations, robust fundraising capabilities, and a renewed commitment to its mission.

Join Tekedia Capital Syndicate and i nvest in Africa’s finest startups here . OpenAl was founded in 2015 as a non-profit research lab with the ambitious goal of advancing Artificial intelligence in ways most likely to benefit humanity. In its early years, the AI startup operated without commercial revenue, relying on donations and grants to support its work. However, as it became clear that building AGI required massive computational resources and capital, the organization recognized the need for a new approach. “ Our stated goal was advancing digital intelligence in the way most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.” A non-profit structure seemed fitting, and we raised donations in various forms including cash ($137M, less than a third of which was from Elon) and compute credits and discounts ($1.8M from Amazon and $50M or more from each of Azure and Google Cloud)”, the company wrote. In 2019, OpenAl introduced a unique hybrid structure: a for-profit entity controlled by the non-profit, designed to raise the substantial capital necessary to pursue AGI research while ensuring that profits would flow back to support the non-profit’s mission. This structure facilitated significant investments, including an initial round of over $100 million and a $1 billion partnership with Microsoft. Over the past decade, OpenAl has transformed from a research lab to a pioneering technology company. The launch of ChatGPT in 2022 brought Al into the hands of millions, showcasing the potential of large language models in everyday life. Today, over 300 million people use OpenAl’s products weekly for learning, productivity, and more. Recent advancements, including the o-series models introduced in 2024, have demonstrated new reasoning capabilities that further the path toward AGI. Meanwhile, OpenAl’s influence has extended beyond its products, driving innovation across the Al ecosystem and inspiring other organizations to advance Al safety and accessibility. As OpenAl moves into 2025, the need for significant additional capital has become clear. The Board estimates that hundreds of billions of dollars will be required to develop the infrastructure, compute, and talent necessary for the AGI economy. To attract this level of investment, the organization needs to simplify its structure, making it more appealing to conventional investors. The new plan involves converting OpenAl’s for-profit arm into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation. This structure, already adopted by many mission-driven organizations, ensures that OpenAl’s decisions will balance profit motives with its commitment to benefiting humanity. Under the proposed structure, the non-profit arm will remain a cornerstone of OpenAl’s mission. The non-profit will retain significant shares in the newly formed PBC, valued by independent financial advisors, providing it with unprecedented resources to pursue charitable initiatives. These initiatives will focus on areas such as healthcare, education, and science, furthering the goal of ensuring Al benefits everyone. OpenAl’s mission is no longer confined to building a single AGI system, Instead, it envisions a continuous journey of contributing to the development of a new Al-powered economy. By evolving its structure, OpenAl aims to lead this transformation while ensuring that the benefits of Artificial Intelligence are widely shared. With this transition, OpenAl is poised to become more than a lab or startup, it is set to emerge as a sustainable, enduring organization committed to advancing Al’s capability, safety, and positive impact on the world.In addition to arresting the main operators of Manson Market, law enforcement agencies managed to seize more than 250,000 euros in illicit proceeds linked to the illegal activities conducted on the platform.

'Trust and reserve judgement' on rebrand, says Jaguar Jaguar A still from Jaguar's new advert which was shared on social media. Jaguar has urged people to "trust and reserve judgement" over the rebrand of the carmaker. The company, embarking on the biggest change in its 102-year old history, released a new logo and a so-called "social media tease" this week, ahead of its relaunch as an electric-only brand in early December. The teaser video has faced backlash, with many critics pointing to the fact it doesn't feature an actual car. Others have praised the company for being bold and shaking things up. Either way, the rebrand has grabbed people's attention and Jaguar has since admitted it not only expected such debate - but it wanted it. In the 1960s, Jaguar launched the E-Type and XJ which have come to be known among some of the most iconic cars of all time. Now the company is trying to do the same again by unveiling its new "design vision" in Miami next month. Teasing the vision online, the 30 second advert features models in extravagant, brightly-coloured outfits who reveal the new company logo written as JaGUar. No cars, no suave men in suits, no big cats. "Do you sell cars?" was the response on X, from owner Elon Musk, who is also the boss of electric car firm Tesla. "This is surely a joke?" added one user, while another suggested the move would "cost jobs and do real damage". Some said "Go woke, go broke". Jaguar/PA Specsavers, known for its humorous social media manner, created a mock-up of its own logo in response, which looked like it had been created on Microsoft Paint. While supermarket Aldi chipped in at Jaguar's "Copy Nothing" slogan with: "You sound like our legal team." Amid the anger and sarcasm, Jaguar has doubled down on its decision, replying to some posts with... Michael RaceMicah Parsons Offers Hot Heisman Take on Jeanty vs. Hunter
