It's crazy how SnapChat has struggled with profitable despite being one of the leading/most innovative social platforms of the last decade. It has over 900M monthly active users, but continues to undercut its own growth due to unintuitive UX. Snap's market cap: $14B Meta: $1.8T

"Deploying an American aircraft carrier to the Gulf of Guinea to take on Islamic insurgents in Nigeria was not deemed to be a 2025 national security priority as recently as Friday, several military officials said." nytimes.com/2025/11/05/us/…
Fascinating: "While Meta has rules against running such [fraudulent] ads, the team that vets advertisers wasn’t allowed to block the ads if doing so would cost Meta more than 0.15% of its revenue, the report said." This will fuel demand for more transparency in the ad industry.
Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show. Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. reuters.com/investigations…

Major General Abdullahi Mohammed Adangba Rtd, Is Dead Former Chief of staff to Former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Late Umaru Yar'Adua, Major General Abdullahi Mohammed Adangba RTD is dead. The family's source Shittu Mohammed said their Patriarch Rtd. Major General…
Gen Abdullahi Mohammed has died at 86. One of the most powerful and understated Nigerians of all time. For a decade between 1998 and 2008, the Ilorin-born retired Major General served three Heads of State as NSA and Chief of Staff, and yet I have no idea what he looks like. And…
So Yar’Adua also kept Obasanjo’s COS, Gen Abdullahi Mohammed (Rtd), for a year, I believe for stability and institutional knowledge. (Mohammed had also served Abdulsalam as NSA, so his year with Yar’Adua was like his 10th straight year working for a Head of State)
