Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident. Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records. We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business. What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%. Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from? The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not. This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform. This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy. Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth. We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work. If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business. Thank you.

Got a call from someone who found my business via ChatGPT. Interesting!

Colon (:) introduces something. You usually use it when what comes after is a list, or an explanation, or even a reveal. An example is “she had one rule: never apologize” or “this is a list of things you should get from the market: eggs, tomatoes…” It’s also used as the eyes in a smiley face :) Semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts that are related but could stand alone as separate sentences. It’s stronger than a comma but softer than a full stop. An example is “Frank never apologized; he didn't think he was wrong” It’s also used as the eyes in a winking face ;)

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s. Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph. You too can connect the dots: 1000reasons.vote/looters

Me: Most Nigerians are unemployable! They're more concerned about salary than growing the business. An employer is concerned about who can grow their systems. If earning a good salary is a priority for any employee, they should work for banks or old, established organizations.

Japan is living in 2050

Hi Hamid, I am Yusuf. I came across your mountains post from yesterday 25/4, and it stopped me completely. I decided to push myself to the limit and implement your formula from scratch, pixel by pixel, as a personal mathematical challenge. After careful study of the image, I have successfully identified and understood 12 of the 14 mathematical objects: ✓ F(x) — color compression to [0, 255] ✓ N_s(x,y) — fractal noise with 6^5 * 5^(-s) frequency scaling ✓ E(x,y) — fractal envelope as a 50-term weighted sum ✓ Z_s(x,y) — layer occlusion product ✓ S(x,y) — sky value ✓ R(x,y) — layer depth value ✓ T(x,y) — distance to mountain center ✓ B(x,y) — slope angle via arctan ✓ A(x,y) — layer brightness ✓ H_v(x,y) — final color channel for v = 0, 1, 2 ✓ Coordinate mapping: x = (m-1000)/600, y = (601-n)/600 ✓ The full N_s structure The two I cannot read precisely enough from the image are: ✗ J_s(x,y) — the mountain shape indicator ✗ K_v(x,y) — the lighting kernel I can see the general structure of both. J_s uses a double exponential with cosine products and E(x,y)/1000 in the exponent, and K_v sums 50 terms of (91/100)^s weighted by cosines involving T, B and v. But the exact coefficients inside the ridge shape term of J_s and the cosine arguments of K_v are too dense to read at the resolution I have. What I am currently seeing in my attempts: the layering and occlusion work correctly and the fractal texture E renders as expected, but without the exact J_s the mountain silhouettes are wrong. Peaks appear at incorrect positions and the snow and rock boundary does not match your image. This is purely a personal challenge. I am not doing this for any commercial purpose. Could you point me to where the full formula is published, or share a higher resolution crop of the equation panel from that post? Even just confirming those two functions would be enough to complete the implementation. Thank you. Yusuf

Whenever I am in conversation with a love interest, especially one I am besotted with, and I notice the slightest escalation in her voice, I ask her to be calm. I remind her that it is just the two of us, that there is no need to raise her voice. My own remains steady, almost soothing. It does not matter what the situation is, I stay composed. And that composure has an effect. It settles her. It brings her back. I learned this from Marty Byrde, that calmness, even under pressure, is a kind of leverage most people do not understand. People assume it means you are unbothered, immune to the weight of what is happening. You are not. You feel it all. You simply understand that panic solves nothing, and in most cases, only makes everything worse.

i've actually come to realise that regret is a cruel storyteller. It rewrites the past with the wisdom of the present, convinces you that you should have known better when you actually had no way of knowing at all.

This paragraph from Carl Jung hits so hard. “The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”
