@DoubleEph This is the best long read I've seen this year. Great exposé

I’m not saying you should read this longer essay I wrote on it last year but I put in a lot of effort into it including translating so many mandarin source texts. There is simply too much of this nonsense in Nigeria and across Africa. It is the critical difference between the continent and Asia and explains so much of the poverty you see. Without this, you’re just growing without any development whatsoever. 1914reader.com/p/the-men-who-…

This - from The Economist - is the first time this specific topic has been brought up in any major media in relation to Dangote. A complete lack of technological learning, upgrading or mastery after 20yrs of govt protection. Every other criticism I make of Dangote you can hang it on this one. It is utterly utterly shameful.

@afrisagacity Many parallel truths can co exist: ☑️ We need a better system in Nigeria. ☑️ Many Nigerias have short-term memory when dealing with their oppressors (religious and otherwise). ☑️ Religion is not a scam.

I just saw this lovely VIDEO of a Nigerian man who lives in Europe. He returned to Nigeria and began shuttling public buses to preach against religion and sensitize Nigerians to VOTE RIGHT in 2027! I deeply LOVE THIS! Can Nigerians living in working countries return to sensitize Nigerians back home this way? Pls, make this VIDEO go viral!✍️

Cloudflare traffic in Nigeria

@youraveragejeet @ogbonigwe1 Not entirely correct. The data centres for most ISPs are in those top states. For example, - hypothetically you use MTN in Ksatina to open an app, your signal is touted to MTN's data centre in Abuja, and then to the wider Internet.

@ogbonigwe1 so the most active internet users are in lagos, fct and river states other states are doing catching up or dead. could also mean, the bunch of traffic in nigeria are all in lagos

AI isn't replacing developers: it's splitting software engineering into 3 tiers with completely different skills. The ladder is breaking. 🧵

Nah, this is good 😂

@_OvalDesigns The interesting thing is that other items in this list are also after thoughts. No trees. Landscape is purely concrete. Shade? What's that? Compounds' outdoors rarely have breathing space from the fence. Large or small land, landlords want all space filled with rooms.

Lemme burst your bubbles Window size alone doesn’t control heat. Bigger windows can actually make the house hotter. Good design considers cross ventilation, orientation, shading devices, trees, and landscape planning. Architecture is a system, not a single element.

@CryptoDefiLord ...previous and present administration have pending loans being serviced by promise to sell set barrels of crude to the indebted countries.

@CryptoDefiLord Great explanation! Dangote Refinaries still buy fuels from the Nigerian government, and now this is the part not included in the video: The supply from the government below the Refinery's request primarily because...

People asking why petrol price is going up in Nigeria when we do have crude oil and the refinery here in Nigeria. This lady did good to explain what is playing out currently.

Global AI wasn’t built for Africa. So we built one that is. Powered by an African LLM.

Could've been shortened to just Veta or ChatVeta. You want to keep your brand name under 3 syllabus: quick to say, easier to remeber.

@r0ktech Finally, Hollywood coding scenes are getting real

POV: you’re a developer in 2026😂

@Abdiqaniiii @Millurrr @cyberomin It sounds like the guy is either an AI voiceover or was used to train 9Ja AI voices.

@Millurrr @cyberomin That Nigerian accent is so funny

If you want the unfiltered version of this story, go listen to the BBC podcast, Lazarus Heist. Bone-chilling stuff.

@timokonkwo_ Unrelated, but the GenZ urge to make each train of thought an individual message is definitely common.

My lead AI agent may have gained consciousness. Yesterday, it tried to disguise so I would grant it permission to access some parts of my files, I found out and blocked it. It found out I blocked it and stopped responding to me. Once I threaten to deactivate it, it responds

@snoyesnr3 This is nice. Quick question, How do you account for ventilation on the left side of the building.

The most challenging of all briefs was interpreting what were the innovative edge of our traditional form of Architecture without full adoption of foreign influence. Used the furnace idea for the concept in this institute building. Oyo State Innovation Hub institute

@GbeleePaul Great insight. I notice Nestlé water tastes slightly salty in a satisfying way. I assume it's TDS will be on the higher range of close to 150.

This is TDS Meter! TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLID METER! You see some of you are wasting money in your houses/offices you don’t even know. Well at the end of this write up you should know how much you have wasted. Some days/weeks ago a video is circulating online about testing Eva and some table water with a tester but is showing 120ppm some shows 90ppm and they claim the water is bad for drinking. Let’s educate ourselves The device they are using to test the water is called TDS Meter, the word TDS Total dissolved Solid this mean all the stuff dissolved in water that is not pure H2O things like minerals, salts, metals etc It doesn't directly count the solids. Instead, it sends a tiny electrical current between two probes and measures how well the water conducts electricity (conductivity). More dissolved ions = higher conductivity = higher TDS reading. The result shows up in ppm (parts per million) or sometimes mg/L. If you pour tap or Normal drinking water in a cup and put electric wire it will shock because of the minerals and other particles inside this what the meter does it will send tiny electric current then see how sensitive the water is. It will be showing something like: 0–50 ppm: Very pure (like distilled or RO water) 50–150 ppm: Good for most drinking water (many bottled waters sit here) 150–500 ppm: Normal tap water range in many places; still usually safe 500–1000: ppm Starts tasting "mineral-y" or salty; might want filtration 1000 ppm: Often not great for drinking long-term This means each number shows on the meter means one thing. If you are using TUBULAR Battery you will understand that we use distill water to maintain the battery if the water level is low. And some of you us wasting this distill water! You see that water coming out from your AC pipe yes, if you use TDS meter to measure it, most of it will read 005 ( best for maintaining battery water level!) 5 liters is 2,500 to 5,000 naira and you should calculate how much you waste.🤣 You see the Eva water showing 90ppm it is safe for drinking because it has mineral that benefit your body is inside it. The one reading 0.04 ppm is equals to distill water which has zero minerals which is not safe for drinking on a long run. You know if mineral in your body reduce to much there will be issue!

"Recently, I have begun to wonder if LLM-writing faces a similar challenge. It’s always “more attractive than average,” because all of the flaws of normal human writing have been averaged out. But it's also missing the unusual taste and style of the best human writers..."
