Big news out of East Africa. 4 projects from our community have been selected for the Stellar Instawards each receiving $5,000 to support continued development and prepare for the SCF @BuildOnStellar @ChamaTrust_ @ide_stellar @Zyra_pays @matxchange Four teams. Four different problems. One shared conviction that blockchain infrastructure built from inside East Africa hits differently. This isn't just a funding milestone. It's proof that when you give African developers the right environment, tools, and support, they build things worth backing. We're just getting started. More builders. More projects. More proof. Congratulations to all four teams. 🔥

Congratulations everyone and in particular to team @ChamaTrust_ & @Zyra_pays from the community for the win. Consistency and long game always produces rewards. POV: These projects came to life after a 24hour Hack Night 😊.

Good news for all the Java haters. 🎉 We are finally creating a Java-free zone. A sacred space. A place of peace. Somewhere the words "NullPointerException" and "verbose boilerplate" can never reach you. A world where nothing Java touches lives. Where the old, legacy, cranky, shouty, preachy, opinionated language is finally put to rest. We are doing it. It's happening. But before we do - Out of respect. Out of decency. Maybe a little bit out of guilt — we thought it was only right that we sit down, take a deep breath, and acknowledge the tiny, minuscule, barely-worth-mentioning contributions Java has made to our daily lives before we wave it goodbye forever. You know. The little things. Like... your Android phone. Your banking app. Google. LinkedIn (yes, this very app you're reading this on). Netflix. Amazon. The ATM that gave you cash this morning. The hospital systems keeping people alive. The satellites orbiting the earth. All powered by Java. But that's beside the point. Small things, really. So this Tuesday, before we proceed with the grand Java funeral, Naija Java User Group invites you to one last session — a final farewell, if you will — where the brilliant Glory Usen Anwana will walk us through just how little Java has done for the world we live in. ⚡ Lightning Talks — Java in Everyday Life: How It Powers What We Use Daily 🎤 Speaker: Glory Usen Anwana — Software Engineer @ Orbit Tech Company 📅 Date: Tuesday, 24th March ⏰ Time: 8:30 – 9:30 PM WAT 📍 Venue: Google Meet (Free & Online) 🔗 Register: luma.com/co3cs492 Come with your Java hate. Leave with... well, we'll see. Tag your fellow Java haters and Java Lovers. They need this closure. 👇 Proudly supported by JetBrains. #NaijaJUG #Java #LightningTalks #TechNigeria #JavaDeveloper #SoftwareEngineering #NigerianDevelopers #JetBrains #LearnJava #JavaHaters

NaijaJUG Lightning Talks Hello Devs 👋, If you’re a full-stack developer, chances are you naturally lean toward TypeScript on the frontend instead of plain JavaScript. And rightly so, TypeScript brings the kind of strictness, structure, and predictability we love as Java developers. It helps us debug faster, catch errors earlier, and build with confidence. Next week, @NaijaJUG we continue our Lightning Talk series with a very special guest: Manoel Campos Manoel Campos is a Senior Java Engineer with 20+ years of experience, specializing in Java, Spring Boot, Quarkus, REST APIs, clean code, and software design. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering and has taught Distributed Systems and Software Architecture for years. He’s also the creator of open-source tools like CloudSim Plus, used worldwide. Manoel is a natural mentor passionate about building clean, maintainable, high-quality software. Next week Tuesday, he will walk us through a topic we’ve never explored before in our Lightning Sessions, one that both Java and TypeScript developers will find extremely valuable: “ Modern Java and TypeScript: A Match Made in Heaven? ” Whether you are, transitioning between both languages, using them side-by-side in full-stack projects, or simply choosing the best tool for each job, this session is designed to open your eyes to new possibilities, patterns, and workflows. This is going to be an insightful, practical, and exciting session you don't want to miss. Date : December 2nd, 2025 Register here : luma.com/v16m7q5c Come, sit, and learn from experience. @dashaun @therealdanvega @joshlong @AmigosCode @DThompsonDev @segun_osiki @BrightAsiwe @DevTochukwuvic

This session was incredibly powerful and timely. I’m currently building an app that requires real-time communication, and I’m grateful to @NaijaJug for organizing it. After reviewing the previous sessions you’ve held, I genuinely feel emotional for having missed so much.

*Lightning Talks is here again*️🥰 We’re back with Part 2 of this incredible topic and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Let’s come together, learn, share ideas, and make it even better than the last session! Get ready. Get inspired. Let’s make it happen again! Cheers! 🥂 @dashaun @segun_osiki @BrightAsiwe @therealdanvega @theJoshMeister
