@Babajiide The second guy asked microservices, queues, events, clean architecture, logging, and monitoring. I answered them well. I knew that just that one question I failed, I was not going to make it. To get in, you must be good, know all stuffs.

“Everybody who’s invested in Generative AI needs to regret it in 20 years, if I’m successful Elon has trillions of dollars to build generative AI, my job is to make sure the economics are so deflationary, you get better quality for cheaper. ..To basically disrupt silicon valley, with Human AI. Thats where we’re going. How do we make young Africans human beings with robot capabilities..” Iyin breaks down his longterm vision to disrupt the economics and future of AI on the Afropolitan podcast

@asemota Smile....we are saying the same thing. Noam Shazeer left Google of recent to join open ai. The major reason was because Google was not interested in the risks taking that involves building frontier models. They wanted to focus on business side of thing with maximum profit

Google doesn't run product teams like corporations; it runs them like startups. They also buy more startups than any other company on earth. The reason they are not doing what others are doing is that they don't want to cannibalize their lucrative business with one that doesn't yield as much. You don't compete aggressively in a sector that is losing money for now when you have a money-maker that isn't threatened by it.

Sweet Jesus! WTF is this? The sports has been dragged through the gutter
Acyn@Acyn

Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision. Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni. That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up. And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past. He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card. I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game. I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair. That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that. So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.

One and only! I applied for four jobs. I was shortlisted for all four, interviewed for all four. Now I have the opposite problem… I don’t know which one to accept. To make things even more complicated, my current employer has decided to increase my salary. I suppose these are good problems to have, but they’re still decisions that will shape the next chapter of my career. Hmmm 🤔

If I weren't there at the very start of a Nigerian telco, I would believe the trope people always put out that things "were guaranteed." Nothing could be further from that. Let's start with the licensing. You first had to put up a $20m deposit before you could bid. If you bid and won but were unable to pay for your license, you forfeited $20m. Mike Adenuga lost that amount then, and it was a lot of money. It is still a lot of money. For Econet Wireless, to get that amount the first time, Oceanic Bank had to put it up, backed by guarantees from Delta State, which managed all their federal allocation payments. Getting that first $20m was one of the hardest things I have seen. Oboden Ibru didn't trust the Zimbabweans; he believed they didn't have any money to invest, and his bank would have to commit more to save the $20m, and he was eventually right. Even forming the consortium and selecting partners was a difficult and heartwrenching process. There were meetings that lasted long into the night. I still can't forget a trip I took to Delta and Akwa Ibom to present documents to the state governments, inviting them to invest. Another competing party tried to beat me to Uyo by chartering a private jet as I drove like a maniac and got there by road. After the bid was won, raising the $285m was the most beautiful financial engineering process I had ever witnessed. The late Osaze Osifo was a genius and one of the smartest people I had ever met. I learned so much from what he and his HSBC Capital team did. Other investment bankers, like the late Laolu Mudashiru of Vetiva, watched and learned, too. After paying for the license, we now had to raise money for working capital. I personally raised 7 million Naira from New Nigeria Bank to pay for the office rent. Got furniture from Chair Center and another company on credit. My guy, Elias Igbinakenzua, was then an Executive Director at Zenith Bank, and we managed to negotiate a 500m Naira overdraft facility to start the business. Everyone was broke and stretched. We took a loan from New Nigeria Bank to cover our share of the equity, and the interest on the loan was accruing at 1.8 million Naira per day. We eventually sold half of the shares at a profit to cover the cost. Before then, we were juggling CPs and BAs to cover the initial $20m and dodging Oboden Ibru, who was at wits end. To add to that, we had a technical partner who lied about bringing in 40% of the capital. They, too, could not raise money, so the pressure was on the existing shareholders, who eventually kicked him out but still left him with 5% for the brand thanks to the intervention of Delta State, represented on the board by David Edevbie. Today, that company is now Airtel Nigeria, and someone will tell me that "Demand was guaranteed. " Idiots. Rolling out the service was another story. Educating the market and competing with MTN, who had smarter people and deeper pockets, was brutal. Dem Eleso, their CTO at the time, was a telco savant. Funny thing was that we were offered his services first, but rh Zimbabweans rejected him. MTN snatched him. He became our nightmare.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Well, as someone who builds AI systems, and still do some pretraining, I would not agree with Anthropic on this. We all know the reason, why they are saying this. Is because they are preparing for IPO

Anthropic is saying the quiet part loud, and that takes guts. They are openly claiming AI systems may be on the cusp of recursive self-improvement, the point at which they can design and build their own successors with little human input, and warning this could increase the risk of humans losing control of the technology. Coming from the company building the thing, that is not a casual disclaimer. That is a fire alarm. The data behind the alarm is real and specific. Claude now writes more than 80 percent of the code merged into Anthropic's systems, up from low single digits before the company released Claude Code in early 2025. And in the second quarter of 2026, the typical engineer at Anthropic was merging 8x as much code per day as they were in 2024. Eight times. In roughly two years. That is not a productivity bump. That is a different category of change. Here is what makes it genuinely strange: the loop is already closing. AI is already being used to assist in developing better AI, writing training code, analyzing results, and proposing experiments. This "weak" form of AI-assisted AI development is real and growing. We are not waiting for some sci-fi threshold. We are already on the ramp. The underrated concern is not the capability itself. It is the pace. Human institutions, regulatory bodies, safety standards organizations, democratic processes, move slowly. The systems are not. The rate at which AI models improve is accelerating, and the length of tasks they can reliably complete on their own has been doubling roughly every four months, up from an earlier trend of doubling every seven months. Every four months. If you are not updating your mental model of where this is going at least that often, you are already behind. The honest posture right now is not panic and it is not dismissal. It is seriousness. Read what the builders are actually publishing. Build your own understanding of it. Because the people who will navigate this well are the ones who saw it clearly while most people were still calling it science fiction.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. anthropic.com/institute/recu…

They just dey flog me dey go. Omo. They even said they’d report to our parents and suspend us. We went to the hostel in terrible pains. But greater emotional distress of not knowing if they’d call us on assembly the next morning and repeat the flogging and then suspend. Me wey dey proactive . I con call my papa first narrate my own version of the story say “school may call you o”. Think I told him I went to buy inhaler in the pharmacy down the road or something. Leemao. Eventually the next day came and they didn’t do emergency assembly. We waited a week, a month, it never came up again. We were never suspended. Wheew! But that beating, I can never forget. My back tore. As I handed over the spoils from my warfare (birthday gift) to my best friend, she sef started crying that it’s because of her that I suffer this suffer 😭 We both cried for another 30 mins. Wetin I even buy sef, Tony Montana perfume, plastic rose and shortbread. 💔

The greatest beating I ever received had to be when I ran away from hostel. It was my best friend’s birthday and I didn’t want to give her the regular gala and drink so I ran away to quickly get a gift outside school. 🥺 I was going to come back 😞 The plan was to mix with day students after school, go out and return in time before borders go to the hostel for siesta. Anyways, a cleaner going home from school, saw us at the bustop (we were 4 that went together), she greeted us so calmly, we responded with smiles thinking she didn’t recognise us as borders. She called the school and told them she saw borders at the bustop and so they were alert, waiting for our return. 💔 We, being oblivious to what was happening back at school, got the gifts and then journeyed back to school to secretly enter.

One of the most contentious oil bloc perhaps in the world. The story of OPL 245/ Malabu/Eni/shell dates back to 1998. Long story short, Obasanjo being vengeful, in 2002 decided to revoke the license of OPL245 given to Malabu in 1998 and gave it to Shell because he felt the company was used as a front for Dan Etete ( oil minister under Abacha). That singular action spiraled into different court cases. While the court case was going on Eni decided to buy stakes from the oil field. Why ?. Because OPL 245 is a very lucrative oil field with a market value of about $15 billion at the time of its sale and a capacity to produce 175,000-200,000 bpd. So it became a case of FG vs Malabu vs Eni/Shell. Malabu was paid off leaving only FG and Shell/ Eni. Soon after settling Malabu, FG discovered that Shell bribed it way to secure the oil field and decided to institute civil action against Shell/Eni for bribery and also against JP Morgan for wrongfully paying off Malabu/Dan Etete over $800 million. Last judgement on the case was in March 17, 2021, where a Milan court acquitted Shell and Eni of any wrong doing. Meanwhile, due to the court cases, it was difficult for the investors to develop the oil field since 1997. PBAT eager to inject the needed capital expenditure to increase crude production, decided the best thing for the country was to amicably resolve the issue out of court and allow the rightful owners have their oil field after they promised expediting the development of the field. To expedite drilling and production, Eni may be opting to make use of a leased floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the interim. Gas from the field will also be transported to NLNG via a pipeline that links into the Offshore Gas Gathering System (OGGS) or Gas Transmission System 3 (GTS-3) pipeline. ENI and Shell are joint partners of the NLNG set up, so it makes better business sense.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE President Tinubu announces the historic resolution of the OPL 245 Dispute, Unlocks Major Deepwater Investment President Bola Tinubu announced today the successful conclusion of a historic settlement agreement between the Federal Government of Nigeria, ENI, and Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (NAEL). The announcement was made at the meeting in his office attended by the Chief Executive Officer of Eni, Claudio Descalzi; the Chief Operating Officer, Guido Brusco; the Head of Sub-Saharan Region, Mario Bello; the Managing Director of Nigerian Agip Exploration, Fabrizio Bolondi; and the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Arowolo-Verheijen. The agreement brought to a close the long-standing dispute over Oil Prospecting Licence (OPL) 245, paving the way for the development of one of Nigeria's most significant deepwater resources. Signed in Abuja, the agreement marks the resolution of a dispute spanning more than 15 years. It restores clarity and stability to an asset widely recognised as one of Nigeria's most commercially promising deepwater blocks. With the dispute now settled, the pathway is clear for Final Investment Decision on the Zabazaba–Etan development, a project capable of adding approximately 150,000 barrels per day to Nigeria's production capacity and strengthening the country's long-term energy outlook. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu described the agreement as a strategic milestone in Nigeria's economic reform agenda, reaffirming the administration's commitment to resolving legacy disputes, restoring investor confidence, and ensuring that Nigeria's natural resources deliver sustainable value to the Nigerian people. "This resolution sends a clear signal to global investors that Nigeria is prepared to address legacy issues transparently, uphold the rule of law, and create a stable environment for long-term capital," the President said. “The settlement also represents a significant improvement on the 2011 Resolution Agreement, reflecting the policy framework established under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) and the administration's broader fiscal and governance reforms in the energy sector”, said Olu Arowolo-Verheijen, Presidential adviser on energy. “The revised terms strike a balanced outcome providing investors with the clarity and predictability required to proceed with major deepwater investments, while ensuring stronger value accretion and safeguards for the Federation”, Arowolo-Verheijen added. The agreement is part of a wider programme of reforms undertaken since 2023 to restore Nigeria's competitiveness in global energy markets. These reforms, anchored in the Petroleum Industry Act and supported by targeted executive actions, have already contributed to renewed investor interest and significant capital inflows into Nigeria's oil and gas sector. “By resolving the OPL 245 dispute, the Federal Government has removed one of the most prominent legacy risks in Nigeria's upstream sector and reinforced its commitment to predictable regulation, transparent governance, and commercially viable investment frameworks”, Arowolo-Verjeihen further said. President Tinubu commended all institutions and stakeholders who contributed to achieving the settlement, including the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), NNPC Limited, and the leadership of ENI. The successful resolution underscores the Tinubu Administration's determination to unlock Nigeria's strategic energy assets, attract responsible investment, and ensure that the nation's resources translate into growth, jobs, and long-term prosperity for Nigerians. Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President ( Information and Strategy) March 5, 2026

Lack of documentation is killing your career. Start the habit of keeping records of everything - your little wins, the work you completed, what you learned, the key conversations you had, plans on how you will execute and so on. This is what the oyinbos do so well. They will do just 3/5 but will keep evidence of it. You will do 5/5 but no record. Guess who is getting the better performance rating? Show workings!

Remember this.... Femi sold his Geregu shares for $750m. Tony Elumelu secured $750m. That’s no coincidence. The reason is oil, and NNPC. Big players are positioning for what’s coming. When NNPC is listed, buy the shares, even if it is ₦10k. Big things are coming next year. Are you following?
