The foreign gig workers who are training humanoid robots in the US
Amazing stuff! $15 per hour is not so bad!
"The gig workers who are training humanoid robots at home
Zeus, a medical student living in Nigeria, has a bizarre side gig: He straps an iPhone to his forehead and films himself doing chores, like making the bed, and then sends this footage to a Silicon Valley company called Micro1. If the footage is good, the company will pay him an average of $15 an hour.
Zeus is one of thousands of gig workers—particularly in India, Nigeria, and Argentina—who are now building a massive training data set for humanoid robots to learn from. While large language models can get better by learning from the whole internet, robots need more particular videos to train on. Micro1, among other companies, is setting up a gig economy to supply just that. " (Source)

Nigeria’s Fatal Antivenom Shortfall. Really!
Maybe it is time to systematically and routinely kill some of these snakes and destroy their nesting places!
How about eradication of dangerous snakes?
"The death of a high-profile Nigerian singer from a snakebite has ignited widespread outrage over the country’s inadequate supply of antivenom and the need for a national snakebite strategy ..."

Trump launches 'powerful and deadly' strikes on ISIS in Nigeria for the killings of Christians
Update of 12/27/2025 (3/3):
"A Nigerian official said Friday that President Donald Trump's air strikes in his country on Christmas Day on ISIS camps were authorized at the highest level. ..."
Nigeria prime minster says country's president gave Trump 'go ahead' for air strikes on ISIS camps "Trump said he ordered the strikes in northwest Nigeria in response to the terrorist group "killing innocent Christians.""
Update of 12/27/2025 (2/3): "Surveillance since at least November
The increased intelligence gathering and monitoring followed Trump’s calls to address the ongoing persecution of Christians and combat the spread of terrorism in the region. According to a report by Reuters, surveillance flights have been conducted since late November, with aircraft operated by Mississippi-based contractor Tenax Aerospace flying missions from Ghana over Nigeria. ...
The Daily Caller reported that the operations aim to monitor terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, ISIS of West Africa, and the Fulani ethnic militia, which have been linked to violent attacks on Christians and moderate Muslims in Nigeria’s northern regions. A former U.S. official revealed that the missions also include efforts to locate a U.S. pilot kidnapped in Niger while working with a missionary agency. ..." (Source)

"Nigeria agrees to US intelligence support against militants
... The U.S. has been conducting intelligence-gathering flights over large parts of Nigeria since late November, according to flight tracking data and current and former U.S. officials, in a sign of increased security cooperation between the countries." Exclusive: US conducting surveillance flights over Nigeria after Trump intervention threat
May I presume these surveillance flights were conducted with the consent of the government of Nigeria.
Update of 12/27/2025 (1/3: Apparently, the Nigerian government is involved with these strikes: "Nigerian officials said they are working with U.S. partners to fight terrorism and protect lives, acknowledging Islamist violence and kidnappings in the north while denying systematic persecution of Christians." (Source, Nigeria averts unilateral U.S. action by cooperating on airstrikes "Participating in the strikes raises the risk that the government will be perceived as endorsing the Trump's language on wider sectarian strife, a sensitive issue throughout Nigeria’s history.")
Bad news for terrorists and coward mass killers on Christmas Day 2025!
Hopefully, the Nigerian government was informed and consented to these strikes.
According to Google: "Estimates of the number of Christians killed in Nigeria vary significantly depending on the source and time frame, with some reports citing over 50,000 to 125,000 deaths since 2009. Nigeria is widely considered one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian.
According to a report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), an estimated 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria in the first seven to eight months of 2025 alone.".

The high number of Christian killings in Nigeria in 2025 are contested and I could not find any further corroboration for it using either Google and Bing search. Then there are the usual diversionary claims that it is more complicated, ethnic or land disputes as well as other factors.
"Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!
I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.
The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.

„Jeder wird angegriffen, egal ob Christ oder Muslim“ in Nigeria. Wirklich!
Wieder mal gleichmacherischer Schrott Journalismus aus der Bananenrepublik D!
Natürlich darf auch ein obligatorischer Hinweis auf Klimawahn nicht fehlen!
Falls tatsächlich Christen in Nigeria auch von islamistischen Terroristen angegriffen und getötet werden, dann ist das mit Sicherheit keine "jeder wird angegriffen" Situation! Absoluter Mist! Eine Google Suche bestätigt das sofort!
Leidet der Journalist vielleicht unter Trump Derangement Syndrome?

U.S. backs Zipline with $150M for drone delivery in Africa for medical supplies
Good news!
"Zipline last week announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of State to expand its drone delivery service across Africa. Under a new pay-for-performance model, the State Department is providing Zipline with up to $150 million to expand its infrastructure, enabling African governments to provide delivery of essential medical supplies to hospitals and health facilities.
Zipline said this could triple the number of hospitals and health facilities it serves from 5,000 to 15,000. It could also provide up to 130 million people with instant access to blood and medications. ...
Zipline said African countries will pay up to $400 million in utilization fees. The U.S. government will release funding only when governments sign expansion contracts and commit to paying for ongoing logistics services to ensure long-term sustainability. ...
The American financing will support Zipline in constructing new hubs. Each of the company’s hubs is staffed entirely by local employees, which creates skilled local jobs. ...
Zipline said its infrastructure can deliver better health outcomes by solving the root of many public health challenges in Africa: slow, unreliable, and analog logistics that often leave blood, medications, and supplies out of stock or spoiled. In some places where Zipline operates in Africa, the average time between when a health facility places an order and when it is delivered is 13 days. Zipline said it cut that to under 30 minutes for the facilities it serves in the country. ..."
