“We don’t want Africans here anymore. We’re tired of seeing African migrants moving all over the world, refusing to fix their own countries. We’re making it clear: we don’t want you here. You know you’re visitors, yet you’ve decided to integrate into our communities. Can we come to Ghana and do what you’re doing?”

@Mrwhosetheboss Most of you in replies didn’t watch the video at all like everything you use as rebutal has been addressed in the video.

Tech companies are basically lying to you:
- They compare their new products to ones released MANY years ago (to make it as confusing as possible to figure out how much has actually changed this time)
- They invent new specs that mean absolutely nothing (like how much zoom their phone cameras can do)
- They write “up to” just before telling you how much their new product has improved by (so you can’t sue them when you don’t get those numbers)
And a LOT more
So, I decided it was time to break it down with @MKBHD on YouTube - video live now

I sent $1,000 from New York to Lagos through 8 payment rails. The best delivered ₦1,400,000. The worst delivered ₦1,323,000. That ₦77,000 gap = one month of groceries for a family in Lagos.
Yesterday's rail comparison got sharp feedback. The strongest critique: "Try this on a low-liquidity corridor. I bet stablecoins don't look the same."
Fair. So I redid the experiment on the hardest corridor I could find: Nigeria.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲:
The Naira isn't one currency. It's two.
→ The official CBN rate: ₦1,345 per USD. Banks, SWIFT, Wise, Western Union must use it.
→ The parallel market rate: ₦1,400 per USD. It's where real dollar supply meets real demand.
That 4% gap isn't a fee. It's the government pricing the naira higher than anyone is willing to pay for it.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 $𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝗼𝘀:
🥇 USDT P2P: ₦1,400,000 (30 sec, $0.01)
🥈 Yellow Card: ₦1,393,000 (2 min)
🥉 Bitcoin: ₦1,393,000 (~10 min)
4️⃣ Sendwave (International Remittance): ₦1,372,000 (15 min)
5️⃣ Wise: ₦1,344,000 (CBN rate)
6️⃣ Swift: ₦1,344,000 (3-7 days, $50 fee)
7️⃣ Western Union: ₦1,330,000
8️⃣ PayPal Xoom: ₦1,323,000 (5.5% hidden spread)
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:
That USDT P2P rate only exists because someone, somewhere, holds naira and wants dollars. The P2P desk IS the off-ramp. It's real infrastructure, with real liquidity risk.
But here's what they couldn't see on the Paris–NY corridor:
In a dual-rate economy, stablecoins aren't just faster. They give you access to a different price. The real price.
Nigeria has the world's 2nd-largest P2P crypto volume. Not speculation. Access to the actual dollar rate, without flying to Lagos with a suitcase.
The next decade's fintech question isn't "will stablecoins replace SWIFT?"
It's "what happens when 2 billion people in dual-rate economies realize they can bypass the official channel?"
₦77,000 on $1,000 tells me the question is worth asking.

We* built the first ever Turing-complete Swahili programming language — Nuru.
And we just secured a $40,000 contract to bring it to 5,000 learners in Swahili-speaking classrooms.
And I know what you’re thinking: Why build a Swahili programming language?Aren’t there already a dozen “better” languages than Nuru could ever be?
Yes. “You’re absolutely right!” Now buckle up and hear me out!
As AI systems get stronger, the “how” is getting “cheaper” every year. Implementation details are being trivialized. The real advantage shifts to the “what”: knowing what to build, why it matters, and having systems understanding at a high level.
The winners won’t be the people who can write the most syntax from memory, they’ll be the people with strong fundamentals and the confidence to build.
That’s why we believe the programming language of the future is going to be the one you already speak.... For the millions of us from the so-called “3rd world countries”, that language is Swahili!
When we started teksafari.org, one thing became obvious fast: integrating into public schools in Tanzania would be hard. Most technical learning is delivered in English, but for many young Tanzanians—especially outside big cities—English is a third language.
We don’t really do excuses. And we couldn’t sit around waiting for policy to catch up to the urgency.
So we built the Nuru Playground, on top of the Nuru language that @AviTheDev had been working on, so we could finally deliver our technical programs in Swahili-speaking classrooms without the translation tax.
We have already reached hundreds of students with a couple schools on our waitlist.

Every week at the UN, I spend hours researching the latest developments in AI, tech policy, and emerging technologies.
I’ve created a list detailing dozens of tools that I find most helpful for my work and independent research: github.com/chinasatokolo/…

@Shevincible @oyimzy Are you that ignorant? In football, goalkeepers always use a towel to wipe wet gloves. This is basic knowledge.
