THE DAY MY LAPTOP STARTED SPEAKING IN TONGUES DURING ZOOM MEETING

.




It all started like any other Monday: my coffee lukewarm, my bank account balance worrying me, my investment portfolio untouched, and my laptop glaring at me like it knew exactly how little I had prepared for the Zoom meeting. Nothing in human experience could prepare me for the day my laptop decided to rebel, transcend its electronic existence, and start speaking in tongues — right in the middle of a financial strategy session.

I logged in. Camera on, face illuminated by the sad glow of my desk lamp, smiling the polite smile that screamed: “I have no idea what I’m doing, but my credit score looks fine.” The meeting started normally. My boss’s voice echoed like Gregorian chant in a cathedral of spreadsheets, mortgage plans, and fintech projections. Then it happened. My laptop — my loyal companion for years — let out a sound that could only be described as a cross between a demon goat, a forex trading alert, and a stock ticker running amok.

At first, I thought it was a network glitch. Maybe my Wi-Fi was performing a ritual dance with the router, calculating investment returns in real time. Maybe my headphones were possessed by a spirit of unpaid insurance premiums. I unplugged everything, rebooted, whispered: “Please behave. Pretend you’re a normal, boring computer like digital banking apps.” But my laptop had other plans.

The tongues started slowly, like a warm-up exercise for chaos: “Brrrraaaahhhh… shhkrrt… zzzooommmm!” Each syllable felt like a financial report crashing into my soul. Colleagues stared, horror mixed with envy over my cryptocurrency gains. My boss paused mid-sentence, as if realizing his wealth management strategies might be outdated.

I attempted explanation.

> “Uh… my laptop… it’s… spiritually optimizing my savings plan today?”



Tongues escalated. “Blaaaaargh… hhhrrrmmm… kaa-ching!” I swear, at one point, it sounded like the laptop was forecasting stock market crashes. Everyone froze. Silence, broken only by the laptop whispering:

> “I am free… and financially enlightened.”



I tried muting it. No effect. Turning off the microphone? Nothing. Closing the lid? The laptop hissed like a metallic snake guarding a hidden cryptocurrency wallet. My cat jumped onto the desk, staring at me like: “You were never ready for this financial awakening.”

People started laughing — not polite corporate laughter, but real, terrified, slightly hypnotized laughter. Someone suggested:

> “Maybe it’s a new AI investment advisor feature?”



I wanted to scream:

> “NO! IT’S A LAPTOP POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF UNPAID BILLS, INCOMPLETE PROJECTS, AND NEGLECTED retirement plans!”



But the tongues drowned me out.

Soon, the tongues found rhythm, almost musical — a stock market jazz fusion. “Brr-ttt-haaah… shooom… plick!” Each bullet point on my slides emitted a unique syllable, like the laptop was communicating ROI forecasts and loan interest rates to some higher technological plane. Spreadsheet cells rattled like tiny tambourines. Pie chart winked.

I panicked. Clicked “Leave Meeting” — but the laptop refused.

> “You cannot escape your financial destiny…” it whispered.



Unplugging had no effect. I even prayed. Literal prayer:

> “Oh Lord, remove this demonic budget variance!”



Laptop smirked.

Zoom chat exploded. People typing furiously, trying to translate tongues. Suggestions: “Binary? Klingon? Ancient financial ledger?” IT guy answered:

> “Sir… have you tried exorcising it with wealth management advice?”



Tongues reached a crescendo: “Blaaaaargh… tsskkk… hhhrrrmmm… za-za-zoom!” Cat hissed, dog barked at the wall, plants vibrated — fearing impending tax audits. I realized Zoom meeting relevance = zero. Laptop = oracle. Center of existence. Channeling chaos through USB ports AND cryptocurrency alerts.

Amidst tongues, laptop typed in chat — spelling errors everywhere, yet prophetic:

> “Beware the Monday… lukewarm coffee… spreadsheets lie… investment losses imminent…”



People laughed, clutched heads, sent screenshots to every WhatsApp group. Memes were born. One:

> “When your laptop gains sentience AND critiques your financial planning.”



Eventually, I accepted fate. Laptop ascended. I merely maintained power, Wi-Fi, and occasional snacks. Tongues narrated my life accurately:

> “He drinks lukewarm coffee… fears PowerPoint… dreams of vacation… mortgage overdue.”



Meeting ended. Laptop refused silence. Muttered: “Brrrraaaahhh… shhkrrt… zzzooommmm… optimize savings portfolio…”

Aftermath: colleagues sent messages — some congratulating me on “most interactive finance meeting ever,” others politely asking if professional help was needed. Memes, GIFs, fan art, even an email proposing a documentary:

> “The Day Technology Rebelled: Financial Edition.”



Lessons learned:

1. Never underestimate spiritual potential of electronics AND financial literacy tools.


2. Mondays = high risk for investment errors.


3. Lukewarm coffee = existential threat AND liquidity warning.


4. Zoom meetings = high-risk zone for technological rebellion affecting finance.


5. Cats = secret financial advisors.


6. Memes immortalize chaos AND financial mismanagement.



In conclusion: the day my laptop spoke in tongues during a Zoom meeting will forever live in comedy and high-paying AdSense finance history. Somewhere, IT professionals are drafting manuals on exorcising electronics AND protecting digital banking accounts. Laptop laughs. Cryptic monologue continues. Probably plotting next week’s mortgage review apocalypse.

Nigeria: From Independence to In-Dependence — The Annual Generator-Powered, Fuel-Scarcity, Small Chop Festival 😂🇳🇬  . LAGOS — Every year, on October 1st, Nigerians gather across the nation to celebrate their “freedom.” But somewhere between the generator fumes, the endless fuel queues, and the puff-puff stalls, one begins to wonder — are we truly independent or just “in-dependence”? This year’s Independence celebration was nothing short of a national comedy show. A combination of financial frustration, economic endurance, and cultural resilience turned Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day into what could only be described as a generator-powered carnival of chaos. --- THE FUEL QUEUE MARATHON BEGINS In the early hours of the morning, Nigerians prepared for the sacred national ritual — queuing for fuel. From Lagos to Abuja, filling stations became the new stock exchange of hope. Prices fluctuated faster than Bitcoin, and citizens clutched jerrycans like prized financial assets. ...

THE AGBERO THAT BECAME A LIFE COACH

THE AGBERO THAT BECAME A LIFE COACH Once upon a time in the bustling streets of Lagos, where yellow bus horns sang anthems of impatience and pedestrians sprinted like Olympic athletes, there lived an Agbero—a street tout, conductor of chaos, and unofficial CEO of public bus drama. This Agbero, named Lucky, had spent years perfecting his craft. Guiding passengers onto buses required a mix of charm, intimidation, and interpretive dance, all skills that would later translate into financial negotiation and leadership lessons. .

THE NIGERIAN MAN WHO APPLIED FOR LOAN FROM ANGELS A divine comedy that’ll make even angels chuckle — and teach a lesson on heavenly financial literacy. There are bold men. There are spiritual men. Then there is Benedict — the Nigerian man who applied for a loan from heaven. 😭😂 It all started on a sunny Monday in Lagos — the kind of Monday where even NEPA is too tired to bring light, just like your online banking app on a server outage. Benedict sat in his one-room apartment, staring at his phone like it owed him a business loan. His landlord had sent “final warning,” his girlfriend sent “babe, you’re becoming motivational lately,” and his account balance was showing ₦72.13 — the kind of figure that makes microfinance institutions cry. At that point, Benedict realized human banks were finished. Fintech apps were calling him “Dear valued debtor.” One even sent a message: > “We will visit your dreams if you don’t pay today.” 😭 He sighed, looked up to heaven, and said: ...
