People believe in nation building, as long it doesn't cost them personal discomfort.

It's high time we should all know that Agriculture is not outdated. People only tend to underestimate the industry they don't understand.
Many people see farming as stress, village work and Old school business. Forgetting that this same agriculture feeds over 200 million Nigerians daily and powers massive industries like; food processing, transportation, export, packaging, retail
The funny part is that some of the quietest wealth in Nigeria is deeply connected to food production and supply.
Not every successful industry looks flashy online. While some chase trends, others are building long-term wealth from businesses people overlook.
Food will never go out of demand.

@TheEmmanuelU @KelOnovo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Super power.. most times it's discernment.
Sometimes,the resemblance is always obvious.

How do I convince men that being a dad is one of the best things that can ever happen to you.
Look what i and my wife made.
God is wonderful oooo.
English
@MariaE90052 @KelOnovo I'm always wondering: how do people know these things?
Sometimes, people would see a new-born baby and tell who the baby resembles.
English
@KelOnovo I'm sure the one in front looks like mummy and the one at the back like daddy.
They're so cute☺️

When Morris Chang couldn't achieve his semiconductor dream, he went back to his home country to start up TSMC.
Now, every who-is-who in tech hardware goes to Taiwan to look for him — EVERY Apple gadget, Nvidia, Tesla, and so on.
Almost ALL of them now need TSMC.
I beg you in the name of God whose I am and who I serve, fight to keep this dream not just alive but thriving and flourishing.
FIGHT!!!!!
If you have to be outside Nigeria for a while to grow in exposure and capacity, consider and weigh the opportunity(ies).
But, you see this dream?
I beg you, FIGHT!!!!!!

I am Nigerian, and right now my dream is bigger than me. Only about 1% of global electronics manufacturing happens in Africa. That means millions of African innovators are building the future using ecosystems that don't account for them. Brilliant minds wait weeks for a single prototype PCB to cross oceans, stalled by borders and supply chains that ignore our shores. When iteration takes months instead of days, innovation suffocates. That gap has consequences. It keeps us as consumers of tech rather than creators. So at SkyPower / CircuitCraft, we are deciding to build towards changing it. We are completely rebuilding the hardware prototyping infrastructure right here in Nigeria. Local manufacturing. Precision engineering. Rapid iteration. We are putting the power to design, spin, and deploy production-grade hardware directly into the hands of African builders. The dream is bigger than us—but we are building the foundation anyway. 🇳🇬⚙️

I was on call with a friends abroad and she said, “babe let me send data for you”. I was happy cause funny thing is, I was low on sub as at that time.
She sent me data, imagine my shock when I saw 65 gb data plan for one month. I was extremely grateful, i didn’t see that coming and then I looked at myself and realize I have never done such for myself.
Not because I cant afford 16k but because there are so many other things to so that seem more important than data.
Living in a country where basic stuffs like data have to be compared side by side with food is not how I wished to live my life.
I woke up with a heavy heart, Nigeria must work in my lifetime.
PS: she is right here and I know she will see this shortly. Thank you mama, I don’t know what I did to make you like me

8 years ago, I launched MelonyPine in Calabar as a CRK teacher earning N30,000.
I trusted God for an idea and the idea was to sell fruits.
I went into Pinterest and YouTube and spent days and nights researching because there was no blueprint in that little City at the time.
I bought fruits and a few other things and did several experiments while giving them to people to taste and give me feedback.
On 20th May 2018, I cut apples, watermelon, pineapple, cucumber etc and put in bowls for N300(round bowl in picture) and N500(square bowl in picture) and took them to my home church in my blue cooler… mounted my red umbrella and wore my apron and began to sell after service.
I got support.
One of my Pastors bought both bowls for N50,000 instead of N800 and I took part of that money to register MelonyPine on CAC as well as buy more items for more research and experiments.
I juggled my job alongside this business.
I didn’t have the full picture but now it is clear that it was a step in the right direction of what would manifest as Premium MelonyPine 8 years later.
You have that idea?
Wake up and act on it now.
There’s more inside of you that would only materialize when you take the first step, just like I did in 2018.
I will share more on my journey but God has been exceedingly faithful.

@missmaloka @Echecrates Yes. Under Steve's guidance, his design prowess brought magical experiences everyday people.
I don't understand the use case of a Ferrari EV.
Maybe he/his team was/were simply commissioned to design it.
Might not be his idea.

@Echecrates @coder_afrique Uncle Jony is probably now solving for the tip-tip of first-world realities.
I don't see the point of a Ferrari EV.
Maybe I will, soon enough.

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

But, there's a trade-off.
Cost of infrastructure.
Time to start investing in our own sovereign infrastructure and take data residency as serious as chasing a Babe (and more).
Thankfully, people like Uncle Johnson of Kasi Cloud, Rackcentre, and other key sector players are heavily investing in hyperscale infrastructure that can handle AI workloads.
Then, it becomes easier to host our own version of ChatJibiti that understands African nuances, among other Afro-demographic needs.
We need to both the infrastructure and application layers very seriously.

AI dropped the cost of creation to zero. Taste, culture, discernment — that's the new moat. Eche on The Afropolitan Podcast.

@TDeisine @TheLowkeyMummy Nigeria has a way of making people survive instead of actually live. That’s the painful part.

Some years ago, Bishop Oyedepo commissioned $2 million dollars to fix Tollgate road leading up to Canaan Land and past it.
Living Faith church completely repaired and reconstructed the deteriorating Lagos-Ogun expressway, covering the old toll gate, Sango-Ota, and the Idi-Iroko expressway.
Later, he talked about how "they" requested 30 million Nairas from him, calling it tax.
TAX!! Sigh.
For context, that road had been in a terrible condition as far back as primary school when we started attending Shiloh.
Well, if you don't know him, that man detests bribes. He can almost slap you if you request a bribe from him.
I digress.
When my set graduated from Covenant University, we wanted to fix potholes on Sango road.
We got a clear warning to desist from it, else we'd have to face their wrath.
The most we could do was to fill the potholes with sand.
We live in interesting times.

I tried to fix a pothole on my street in Egbeda 🇳🇬 Nobody sent me. The thing was swallowing tyres and I was tired of it. I bought asphalt. Hired labourers. Came back the next morning ready to work. Area boys stopped us before we even started. “Oga, you wan do work for this street? You need to settle first.” I was not fixing a government building. I was not tapping electricity. I was filling a hole. On a public road. With my own money. I settled them. 2 years ago I reported a pothole on my street in Toronto 🇨🇦 through 311. They fixed it in 3 days. I just stood there staring at the smooth road like a mumu. Would you have settled the area boys or walked away?

@chinnykush042 So, you sat next to someone who was an illegal half-billionaire.
Was she silently trying to hit the billion mark?
I don't understand.

It was actually ₦554 million 😭 The craziest part was that she was still showing up to work every day, and according to reports, she said her target was ₦1 billion 😂
