Yesterday, as at 08:00am-09:00am, I left the residence of a family member and something pathetic happened when I was about getting home.
I was on a street closer to the junction when I suddenly heard a heavy sound. I ran towards the junction in few seconds and saw people...

 gathered around a MAN. He just had an accident.

This man, who looks in his early, mid or late forties is soaked in blood. His right eyeball is almost entirely out of its SEAT, his nose isn't clearly seen because thick blood had drenched it, half his head was full of blood...
& more kept gushing off his head towards the ground. This MAN'S left leg has broken and his wrist crushed and was bruised too.
When I got to this place, over 60-100 humans gathered around him and began pitying him. The MAN roared, "please, I need water, I need water, I'm dying"..
Blood kept gushing off his head.
The statement he made echoed into me when I got there. I ran Helter skelter in search of water and luckily I got. I was about fetching it when those who I met gathering around the man shouted, "NOBODY should give him water, it's dangerous for...
...him." I dropped the bowl, I was perplexed!
I ran towards him, now, he's soaked in blood, the ground was well soaked too. The MAN began, "I'm dying, someone should please help me, I'm dying, don't watch me please, please, this is, please..."
I didn't make him finish his mixed..
...utterances, I neared him and people kept watching and "pitying" him.
I shouted, "Please, the hospital is just close by, let's carry him, please, he's a human, he's dying, we can't keep watching, please!"
I swear, no one answered!
They were over 50 persons. Car drivers...
...stopped by to "WATCH" & say "HEY YA". People kept watching. I kept shouting as I watched the man die slowly...slowly...he was passing his last breathe presumably I thought.
"Please people, I can't carry him alone." I've tried, but he was too heavy. He's not extremely fat...
...fat but he's too huge for me to lift. I kept shouting, "stop watching him, let's carry him, come, bros, please, come, please, I can't carry him alone." When no one answered, I felt the need to speak with some Northern guys (they were speaking Hausa) who were present, "mallam..
Dan Allah, let's carry him, Dan Allah mallam, please, he's dying, Dan Allah." They were about 7-10 in numbers, one of them wanted to come but people kept whispering to him, so, he murmured some words I do not understand and stayed back.
I went to meet the man. He said, "pick my..
phone, call my last dialed number and tell him what happened." His voice was slowly leaving him but, something remained in his voice; the call for help. He doesn't keep mum. He kept saying it, "I'm dying, you people are watching me, please help me." I dialed the number and one...
woman, who I would always pray to have as a guardian angel, came out of the crowd with a wrapper tied to her waist, joined me, took the man's phone and started making phone calls.
The man faintly kept mentioning names of people we can call. I called two persons before handling...
the phone to this woman, a mother, a humanitarian. A real HUMAN.

We became two and with this MAN. We were three, seeking for help, "let's carry him, he's dying." I heard responses that shows 90% of us are just humans physically but not internally.

Some said...
"does he know him?" Others said, "his blood will stain my clothe, I don't want to touch him." This time, I was soaked in blood too.
I hurried towards the man again, tried lifting him but I couldn't. Then, I saw one man I know. I shouted, "please Alfa, come, don't let us watch...
"please Alfa, come, don't let us watch him, he's dying." Alfa came, joined us. So, I, Alfa, and this Woman tried lifting him, we couldn't because some parts of his body, leg especially, was broken and must be handled with care.

Then, when some men saw what was going on, they...
they came and kept shouting, "carry him now" without joining us. They were huge, had the body of people who gym a lot.

Suddenly, a young man joined us, then, we lifted the man towards the nearest clinic. Meanwhile, nobody was willing to help with their car/motorcycle...
So, we kept walking and the man was dying. Blood was still gushing out. When I noticed I couldn't lift him any longer, I was carrying him from the buttocks, it weighed me down. I dropped him, ran towards the hospital, spoke with the Doctor who was dressed in a celestial church...
a Christ white gown and about leaving for church. Remember, this happened yesterday (Sun, December 20, 2020). The Doctor dropped off her car and ordered the nurses on duty to bring a wheelchair.
The nurse was still "driving" the wheelchair when I dashed into the hospital...
collected the wheelchair and carried it instead of "driving." I carried it to where the man was and we lifted him on the wheelchair. This time, the nurses, who work at Krownfits Hospital at Odo-eran Iyana Iyesi Ota Ogun State joined in the help too.
We wheeled him towards the...
hospital but before getting there, he fell off the wheelchair and shouted, "e Joo, monku ni bayi." (Please, I'm dying right now). We helped him on the wheelchair again and luckily, he found his way into the hospital. When the Doctor, a woman I'd forever respect, began cleaning...
him with wool, she never minded her white garment. She was there to "save a life." She didn't ask us of money like others do. She didn't ask for anything but only dropped off her car, ordered a wheelchair be released, and said we should put him on a bed.
When the cleaning began..
this man's nose was shattered into pieces and his right eye is currently "unwordable" about. I watched him and how the treatment went down. He was worried, so, I kept telling him, "sir, you'd be fine, I'm hopeful, you'd be fine, you are being attended to."
I asked the Doctor...
if I can take my leave, she said, "you can still wait". I did for some minutes but, together with those we wheeled him in left the ward, except that woman handling the man's phone. She repeatedly kept calling different persons the man named earlier.
So, I went to where water...
was in the hospital and washed myself, my hands most especially. I met with those who joined me and another conversation ensued.
They said it's not like they don't want to help but, in Nigeria, things might be turned to affect those who help. I told them, "no matter what, help...
please, anything else will be settled later, save a life."

So, I left for the accident scene and the "WATCHERS" & "HEY YA" people had reduced in number and they kept saying, "you saved the man, you saved his life o." As I heard this, if I had gun on me, I honestly may lose...
control.

I walked to the man, whose car crashed with the man's motorcycle (I don't know how it happened), and kept staring at him. I don't know why he didn't help when we were trying to rush the man to the hospital. Only God knows what was on his mind. He just kept staring at...
his car and said, "my tyre was burst and I've parked it before it happened."

I left the place and honestly, I was traumatized. When I got home, I soaked my clothe and couldn't sit for a long time. I had a running tummy and left for the toilet. When I returned, my mum said...
something, "it's how Nigeria is, please, be careful of helping people, only God will help us in this country." After thinking about it very well, mum said, "go and check on the man later."

So, towards the evening, I was at the hospital with my cousin brother (Abdulbaki Musa)...
who I have summarized the tragic incident with. We were directed to a different ward and therein, We saw him, sleeping. His wife and about three family members (I presume) were there and kept kneeling in appreciation of what we did for the man. A nurse had told them earlier...
that those that brought him here are here to greet him."
So, dear Readers, I'm here writing this and at the same time thinking about several other things. I'd repeat what I said about 3-4months ago, "when something happens, especially tragic things, don't watch/take pictures,...
take action, save the life(ves) first." Don't feel less concerned, be very well concerned. Please, let's be humane at all times. It might just be YOU.

I just hope this man becomes fine at the end of it all. I don't know if there's anything else WE CAN ALL DO TO HELP HIM. The...
wife looked helpless. The family members too. Idris Abdulrahman Omeiza is writing from Ogun State...
LAST👇👇👇
Honestly, I feel like going there to greet the man today being 21st of December (Monday) 2020 but, If there's anything WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM, I'D BE GLAD. You can reach out to me on 08108045957.
Kindly retweet aggressively please!!!
I'd update you all on what goes down. Trust ME!

Shocking fact: Millennial men are less likely to work than any other age and gender demographic in America.

Today, there are 500,000 young men missing from the U.S. workforce.

Research suggests video games & improved leisure tech plays a role in the problem. 👇 Thread:

Following the 2007 to 2009 recession, 25 to 34 year old men exited high school with fewer middle-skill job opportunities than years prior.

During this time, we saw an increased number of men living with parents & choosing unemployment over lower paying jobs.

It's estimated that 24M millennials live w/ their parents.

1 in 4 living in their parents’ home neither go to school nor work.

What's more surprising? 9 in 10 who lived with their parents a year ago are still living there w/ no plans to leave.

Economists are calling millennial men a lost generation.

According to economist David Dorn:

“If you get to the point where you’re turning 30, you’ve never held a real job and you don’t have a college education, then it is very hard to recover at that point.”

Economists suggest this choosiness is a generational trait.

"I’m very quick to get frustrated when people refuse to pay me what I’m worth."

1 of 16: WE ARE ALL JEWS HERE: THE STORY OF RODDIE EDMONDS

One of the most moving and relevant stories of the Battle of the Bulge, or any American Soldier in any war, is that of Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, a Knoxville, Tennessee native, who served with the 106th Infantry.


2 of 16:

Roddie was captured early on in the Battle of the Bulge, on December 19th, when Panzer forces plowed through his unit.

He, along with almost his entire regiment, was forced to surrender.


3 of 16:

The men were transported to the Stalag IX-A POW camp in Ziegenhain, Germany.

Roddie was the senior enlisted American Soldier at the site. As such, he was the conduit between all American Soldiers and their German captors.


4 of 16:

In late January, the camp’s commandant, Major Siegmann [pictured here], ordered Roddie, a Christian, to identify all Jewish Soldiers and order them to stand in formation by themselves the next day.

[Jewish Soldiers were a minority within American units]


5 of 16:

Throughout WWII, captured Jewish Soldiers were often tortured and then killed by their German captors.

In fact, Jewish Soldiers had been told to bury their dog tags before capture. The dog tag identified Jews with the letter “H” for Hebrew.

@avacta's AVA6000 approved by MHRA. Superb news. First dosing 'around mid-year'; first data to come within 3-4 months after that.

A summary thread on the significance of AVA6000 - and #AVCT's pre CISION platform as a whole - to both the oncology industry and to AVCT itself. 1/10

In very basic terms, #AVCT's pre CISION chemotherapies are essentially reformulated versions of existing, approved chemotherapies that have been used on cancer patients for many years - decades, even.

The pre CISION tech is simply an attempt to improve the safety profile... 2/10

...of the chemo.

Most therapeutics going through clinical trials look for an improvement of at least 20% over the existing industry-standard drug. A 50% increase in efficacy would usually be considered an astonishing result.

In pre-clinical mouse models for #AVCT's AVA6000 3/10

...18 times more pro-doxorubicin was found in the tumour than in the heart. Compare that to the 1:1 ratio of the standard doxorubicin.

What this means is that the pre CISION tech could be used to enable the giving of doses to patients that are multiple times more potent... 4/10

...than standard chemotherapy drugs - either in the form of greater number of cycles of chemo, or in the potency of the individual dose.

For example, in #AVCT's pre-clinical trials, pro-dox (AVA6000) doses were 6x more potent than the standard dox doses.

The results? The...5/10

A thread celebrating the many lady librarians of Mumbai, because very often, a woman who reads creates societies of people who read.

Seen here is Mrs Gulshan Feradoon Cooper, Head Librarian for over forty years at The People's Free Reading Room in Dhobitalao. “I am not at all strict, that’s my only drawback,” she said. (She doesn't charge a fine).


“I prefer research libraries because I don’t like novels, I like history," said Sarita Shekar Gandhi, Head Librarian at KR Cama Oriental Institute. Over her years at the library she has devoted herself to understanding the nuances of Zoroastrian studies.


Bidisha Basu co-started @leapingwindows , a library and café for comic books, graphic novels and manga. “You get people who have never read a comic before and that’s the most interesting part of the job. It’s exciting to introduce them to comics," she said.


“A librarian should not only love books, she should also love people," said Arati Desai the Head Librarian at the immaculate Nehru Centre Library in Worli. "I've even swept and swabbed my library, there's dignity in everything that you do at work," she goes on to say.

It’s underremarked upon that stablecoins accomplish basically all of the original design goals for Bitcoin qua a transactional mechanism (instant free value transfer anywhere), but that nobody cares about this because nobody ever cared about that part of the pitch.

“Why do people care about stablecoins then?”

A mix of “they encourage dollar-denominated liquidity in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and discourage withdrawal of the same” and “they’re good for money laundering.”

“But they make value transfer between exchanges much faster!”

This was a solved problem in traditional finance, too, mostly through the extension of credit. (It doesn’t matter how long settlement takes if there is sufficient trust to enable credit.)

The Bitcoin ecosystem is *positively allergic* to credit, so you have to call it a coin for them to accept it. And after you call it a coin they ignore everything the world has learned about credit, like risk management.

“Stablecoins aren’t credit!”

They’re pretty much exactly credit? A tether is a zero-coupon Bitfinex bond with a non-functioning call option. I

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.
