Late last year, I set out to build an affordable Mobbin alternative - @usetenbeams. Stuck with it & shipped all core features. Currently cleaning up the UI and adding more apps. Private beta invites are rolling out. Join the waitlist → tenbeams.com

Cost of data doubled, and the performance of all mobile networks is now terrible. 5G roll-out seems very slow. What's going wrong?

🦅 IGBO GIANTS: MBONU OJIKE 🖤 Born in Arondizuogu, Imo State, Mazi Mbonu Ojike may be the most culturally defiant Igbo man who ever lived. He coined the phrase "Boycott the Boycottables." Not as a slogan. As a way of life. He wore traditional attire to government offices, served palm wine at official receptions instead of whiskey, wrote his name in Igbo and refused to answer to anything else. He went to America for eight years, earned a degree in Economics from Ohio State University, co-founded the African Students Association alongside Kwame Nkrumah, performed African culture at Carnegie Hall before US First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and then came home and went to war with the British colonial administration. He wrote three books in three years. He became Deputy Mayor of Lagos in 1951. When he spoke out against the Iva Valley massacre of coal miners in 1949, the British fined him 40 pounds for sedition. He also popularised the word Mazi as the Igbo alternative to the colonial title "Mister." He died at 44, still fighting. In eight years of public life he did more than most men do in eighty.

I’m glad Peter Obi is being deliberate & strategic with his moves. No one will be able to say he ignored the politics involved. You on the other hand better go register to vote,be ready to defend it. If you like, be there asking silly questions about what he is doing. Iti bolibo!

Today in Abuja, I joined family, friends, and associates in prayer for the repose of Haijiya Umma El-Rufai at the funeral of the late mother of my dear brother, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. I extend my sincere condolences to Mallam Nasir @elrufai and the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you find strength in the memories you shared and comfort in the support of those around you. I pray that Almighty Allah forgives her shortcomings, grants her eternal rest, and admits her into Aljannah Firdaus. May He also grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Moments like this remind us of our shared humanity, beyond politics, ethnicity, and religion, and the need to continue to build a society anchored on compassion, unity, and mutual respect. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. -PO

Bandits kill, we rant, news dies down. They kill again, we rant again. The cycle just repeats and this govt does nothing. I don tire fr.

Estate is having electricity issues for months now and just this week the estate management installer inverter and solar panels on its building and promised they have a plan on how to fix the light issues. Isn’t that a sign that they don’t even believe in their own plans?

after Buhari we needed at least 4 good sets of good leaders to get the country back on track After this tinubu’s first term, we need 10 and if he gets a second term, the country is never getting good

The only way to stop these killings is to arm the perpetual victims Before you say no, tell me what else has worked

I should give my government solution to fix electricity? Read that again please

A chief owned all the wells in a village. Every morning, people lined up to buy water. The price kept rising. The people grumbled quietly. "This is too much." But when they reached the front, they paid and left. One day, a young man asked his father, "Why don't we dig our own well?" His father muttered, "Shhh. The chief has guards. They will come at night. Just pay and stay quiet." "But Papa, we are many. The guards are few," the boy responded. The father whispered, "Yes, but what if they remember our faces? Better to suffer than be singled out." So they kept paying. The price kept rising. Families bathed once a week. Children drank less water. Still, they paid. The chief watched from his balcony and smiled. "I don't even need guards. Fear is cheaper than force. As long as they fear what might happen more than they hate what is happening, they'll never resist." A council member asked him, "What if they realise they outnumber us?" The chief laughed. "They know. But each waits for someone else to speak first. While they wait, I raise the price." The prison with no walls is the one where every man guards his own chains. INALEGWU.

Vysor kept annoying me with ads and paywalls just to mirror my Android screen, so I built my own. Introducing Another: a free, open-source app for mirroring and controlling your Android phone from your desktop. The thing is insanely fast. Near-zero latency screen mirroring over USB. It feels like your phone screen is native to your computer. No lag, no frame drops, just raw performance. 🚀 Built with Tauri, React, and Rust. Uses scrcpy under the hood, which streams your phone's display as raw H.264 over ADB. No cloud, no relay servers, everything stays local. macOS available now. Windows and Linux experimental.

This is nothing more than a dressed-up version of “Bola Tinubu has already won, so don’t bother voting” just repackaged with a thin layer of sophistication to make it sound intelligent.

No one could evaahhhh make me hate my natural hair. Ọ bụ pride. Ọ bụ culture! Igbo blood runs through me and it shows 😌

Lol you people don’t get it. You can’t outbid Tinubu in a rigging contest.

In 2027, please vote wisely.

@SemudaraAbayomi Hmmm, probably cause of the candidates in those parties. Those candidates aren't there anymore. Isn't it possible that their leg workers moved with them?

@NotAHardGuyYet Check the election result from last year, they have the leg work

The people in government in this country have seized all the money and are throwing crumbs at the rest of us. 1 year of a doctor’s or nurse’s total allowances no reach one senator’s monthly wardrobe allowance. Now imagine a teacher.

You are campaigning with electricity that is presently in a worse condition than you met it?

@Saliu_ade @BashirElRufai Don't be silly. It's not by the name of the party.

You voted LP because of Peter Obi. You voted NNPP because of Kwankwaso. Now both men have left the parties you defended online, argued for at your workplace and believed in with everything. Let that sink in. They were never building a movement. They were building an exit strategy. And you were the fuel. 🌎

Kwankwaso’s alignment changes the whole layout of the chessboard. Let’s go !
