Google presenta Fabula, un prototipo de investigación para guionistas y dramaturgos. Funciona con Gemini y se apoya en los modelos de narratología clásica que llevan un siglo estructurando cine y teatro. Permite revisar, corregir e iterar con rapidez sobre el plan narrativo y el guion, generando sugerencias coherentes para explorar personajes, arcos y versiones distintas de una misma historia. El equipo lo deja claro: Fabula no escribe historias. Acompaña al escritor durante el proceso creativo y le ofrece material sobre el que iterar. youtube.com/watch?v=YH7sZ2…

@oviosu @PayPal @paga Interesting.

In August 2013, I emailed the @PayPal team. Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem was still young. @Paga was just a few years old. And the “Africa opportunity” wasn’t yet part of most global boardroom conversations. But even then, the opportunity was clear to us. In that email, I shared a simple belief: that Nigeria would become one of the most important economies in the world, and that there was strong alignment between PayPal and Paga to make payments, financial services, and global commerce work for Nigerians. I attached a presentation outlining how our two companies might collaborate: Paga could power on-ramps and off-ramps to and from PayPal in Nigeria. The partnership would enable Nigerians to use PayPal anywhere PayPal is accepted globally. It would also enable Nigerian merchants to accept PayPal for payments. It would take more than a decade for that belief to fully materialize. ​ Today, I’m proud to share that PayPal is now live in Nigeria through Paga. Until now, Nigerians could not receive money via PayPal. Our partnership unlocks that. Nigerian PayPal users who link their PayPal accounts to Paga can now receive money via PayPal. Only PayPal Nigeria accounts linked to Paga are enabled for receiving money. Gig workers can now get paid through PayPal, and family members can now send you money on PayPal. Nigerian merchants can now receive payments on PayPal. The linkage is done within the Paga app, and users can view their PayPal balance and withdraw to Naira when they want. Nigerians can now use PayPal at over 30 million merchants worldwide! This moment isn’t about a single announcement. It’s about patience. It’s about building robust, trusted local infrastructure. It’s about believing that global platforms scale better when they work with local systems, not around them. Partnerships like this don’t happen overnight. They are the result of years of conversations, trust-building, regulatory work, and showing up consistently. I’m proud of the Paga team for staying the course. I’m grateful to the PayPal team for believing in the long-term vision. And I’m excited about what this unlocks for Nigerians participating in the global digital economy. ​ Download the Paga app, link your PayPal to Paga, and connect with global commerce today!
