@Kolar_Dev @bvchidra either cracked or very creative

@bvchidra Seriously bro. You need to be cracked to bring something cool out of AI.

i'm not mad at AI making building easy for non-coders, because aside from todo-like apps, no one is prompting their way out of writing an edge runtime without prior programming knowledge, so i can never be mad at all.

It is tragic that those of us here in Africa who are victims of imperialism, who still carry the physical and psychological scars of colonial looting, are comfortably celebrating the rise of imperial monopolies like Netflix, Uber, and Temu or Shein, just because we want to deliver a cheap punchline for a few brainless retweets, to chase worthless online clout, or to sound intellectually superior while cheering on our own economic destruction. Netflix did not "out-innovate" DStv, and DStv was not sleeping. The fundamental, unaddressed difference is that one is a local African broadcaster working with meager, heavily taxed local funding, while the other sits on a mountain of subsidized Western capital, an endless money-printing machine backed by Wall Street, and the geopolitical muscle of the US government. Netflix gets about $17B in effectively interest-free capital and tax-subsidized benefits every year, which allows them to run their operations at a massive loss while aggressively capturing sovereign markets. On the other hand, DStv is treated as a value stock, meaning public markets ruthlessly demand immediate dividends, strict fiscal discipline, and quarter-by-quarter profitability. If DStv spent ten billion dollars on a single year's content, its share price would crash into oblivion overnight, its board would be wiped out by panicking investors, and its credit lines would be cut. And just in case you are wondering, the South African government cannot step in to rescue DStv with interest-free loans, thanks to the predatory, highly restrictive treaties enforced by the ruthless World Trade Organisation. If the South African government dared to offer DStv a simple one hundred million dollar grant, they would immediately face brutal litigation at the WTO, because African nations foolishly signed suicidal trade agreements which dictate that if a sovereign state subsidizes its own local industry, it is legally obligated to offer the exact same financial welfare to the foreign predators invading their market. And this is just the WTO. We have not even discussed the financial hitmen at the IMF or the World Bank, who view any form of state support for local industries as fiscal irresponsibility, a violation of free-market dogmas, or an outright sin. If the government gave DStv a massive loan, the IMF would immediately downgrade the country's credit rating into junk status. This engineered downgrade would make it punishingly expensive for the South African government to build clinics, fund schools, or repair highways, because the interest rates on their national debt would skyrocket to line the pockets of Western lenders. But brainwashed Africans, who are the primary victims of this neo-colonial economic castration, will happily log onto Western platforms to tell you that Netflix was innovative while DStv was just sleeping. The absolute worst part of this farce is the brain-dead comparison between Uber and local taxi drivers. A local driver must make an immediate profit today to buy maize meal, bread, and petrol tomorrow. He cannot compete with a multinational behemoth that has an explicit mandate from Wall Street to burn five billion dollars a year in predatory pricing, artificially subsidizing rides just to starve local operators into bankruptcy and clear the field. The local taxi driver is the most visible, highly vulnerable target of his own state's predatory municipal machinery. He is hunted daily by corrupt traffic officers for compliance, like an expired permit, a slightly worn tire, a missing fire extinguisher, or an arbitrary traffic offense. For him, a single fifty-dollar ticket is not just a minor inconvenience; it is a catastrophic blow, the difference between his children sleeping with a full stomach or going to bed hungry. But Uber does not even recognize these drivers as human beings with labor rights. They see no need to protect the dignity of work, the right to a living wage, or the basic sovereignty of the citizen. Instead, Uber smugly informs the courts that local labor laws do not apply to them, because they are just an app, and their drivers are merely independent contractors. With this legal sleight of hand, they have effectively deleted the Bill of Rights for millions of working-class men and women. They have engineered a lawless corporate territory where they can terminate a breadwinner's account via a heartless algorithm with zero human review, pay him slave wages after stealing 30% in service fees, and refuse him a single cent of medical coverage for the crashes he suffers while lining their pockets. Worse, they offer their rides at a 50% discount because they are heavily subsidized by Silicon Valley venture capitalists playing a global game of market conquest, and local governments are too terrified to intervene, knowing that any attempt to regulate these giants will result in immediate economic retaliation, diplomatic bullying, or Washington threatening to sanction them into oblivion. Newspapers did not lose because they were lazy. There is no physical way a local newspaper can compete with Facebook or Instagram, which sit on massive surveillance networks, endless pools of free user data, and algorithmic monopolies designed to capture human attention for profit. This is exactly why China banned these digital parasites and built their own sovereign ecosystems to allow local industries to develop. How do you expect African manufacturing to ever survive when Shein and Temu are allowed to flood our markets with heavily subsidized, ultra-cheap fast fashion and low-quality equipment? Do you honestly think China would have transformed into an industrial superpower if they had allowed their territory to be used as a digital and physical dumping ground, a massive cesspool where the West discarded their second-hand clothes, their obsolete laptops, their toxic e-waste, and their plastic garbage under the fraudulent banner of free trade? This is the core problem I have with motivational speakers, with their brainless "grindset" rhetoric, and with how they completely erase the structures of global capital to blame the victim, because in their world, your poverty is a personal failure rather than the predictable outcome of an international economic system designed to keep you subjugated. Let me conclude by saying that we must stop applauding the very chains designed to bind us, we must stop worshipping the corporations that are asset-stripping our continent, and we must realize that true innovation cannot exist without economic sovereignty.

There are lots of things people try to copy from the rich to apply into their life and it doesn’t work. For example, private low-key, forgetting that you don’t have the luxury to live lowkey if you don’t come from money. You need to put yourself out, nobody is coming to save you.

This is what I heavily emphasized yesterday in a Twitter space. There can never be talk of any "revolutionary" movement in Nigeria until we dismantle the current educational system in the country. There is no bypassing this important stage. We can tweet from now until the next 100 years, we can write volumes of political essays, we can march in the streets until our boots wear out, we can occupy embassies all we want, we can even bring a J.J. Rawlings type figure into Nigeria to uproot all the elites in power. All of these are empty and meaningless endeavors. I have said it in the past and I will leave it in writing for those who will come after me that I have renounced the current Nigerian educational system completely. I have been in the field and taught Mathematics long enough to recognize this rot. I have sat down with some of my lecturers and demonstrated how the Mathematics syllabus in universities in Nigeria is never going to allow the Engineering department to develop. I have shown how Nigeria can never produce high profile researchers even in the next 100 years if this syllabus is allowed to exist. We learn Real and Complex Analysis in Nigeria without a foundational course on Analysis, no Euclidean geometry, no in depth treatment of Series, and no rigorous introduction to discrete mathematics or set theory. And then when the actual analysis is taught, students are forced to memorize a body of theorems and proofs and regurgitate them in the exam halls. And this is just Analysis. We have not even talked about Topology for spatial data structures and advanced physics, or Combinatorial Mathematics that is the backbone of AI and Machine Learning, or Graph Theory which models modern telecommunications, or Cryptography which secures the entire global financial framework. I can go on forever. In fact, I can even write a 500-page dissertation on how the current Mathematics educational system in Nigeria will make it impossible for Nigeria to industrialize. The best we can hope for is to import fancy equipment from China because we have a system that was designed to raise an army of idiots with degrees. Their sole value is to perform administrative tasks for the corporations that are extracting their resources and wealth. And this is just for Mathematics. The same line of reasoning can be extended to all departments in the country. And this is why no matter our passion on this platform, no matter our calls for total decolonization of the African mind, it is simply insufficient. It is insufficient because the educational system in the country has made our people impervious to rational thought. It is insufficient because our people are being educated in general by the ghosts of Lord Lugard to work for Chevron and other corporations that continue to plunder us. It is insufficient because our people are still being educated by the Salafi Wahhabi schools established and funded by Saudi Arabia on behalf of the transatlantic empire to create an army of sleeper cells in Nigeria that they can activate at any time for insurgencies. It is insufficient because in the South our people have been reduced to complete idiots by the mega churches and their prosperity gospel. They are taught to interpret poverty and underdevelopment as a sin rather than an institutional failure and foreign backed imperialism. This is why our vibrant youth population has been reduced to prayer warriors fighting against demonic arrows instead of revolutionaries fighting against the colonial institutions that are looting their future dry. It is insufficient because our media platforms are designed to entertain and distract rather than educate and mobilize. It is insufficient because our cultural institutions have been hijacked to celebrate subservience and mediocrity instead of critical thinking and rebellion. All of these are part of the educational system that must be dismantled: the churches, the Salafi Wahhabi schools, the obsolete university curricula, and the media syndicates that keep the masses sedated. It is only when these institutions are defeated that we can talk about a revolutionary movement. It is only then we can confront the colonial institutions. The true African revolution will not be birthed in the pews of a mega church or the classrooms of a foreign funded school. It will only begin when we forcefully reclaim our minds. Let the total deconstruction of the Nigerian educational system be the first and most decisive step toward our absolute liberation.

@janetmachuka_ Welcome to reality...it has always been that way; it's a game of strategic advantage. You could check out the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" to gain more insight; also, study about the Plaza Accords.

Someone said that the poverty of a country is planned. That statement stuck with me.

@RudeBoi_S cool so look at project stargate

yesterday, I posted something about a Supernatural gift most people have but they do not even know they have. Many people were surprised that remote viewing is even possible. Countries like US, China and Russia have programmes that train gifted kids but Africans will demonise their gifted kids and tag them witches! The Russian KGB had a dedicated team that studied Black Magic. The truth is we as Humans do not know the power we have inside Us. Religion has made us look so ordinary and underestimate our potential. Every human being is Unique, every human being generates their own unique energy around them and this comes with its own abilities and supernatural gifts. Recently, I read a file that there is a technology that can analyse the unique heartbeat from an individual. This simply means that though everyones heart is beating similar, the heartbeats of everyone beats at different frequencies making everybody unique. (I would write a tweet this month on Frequencies and how powerful they are, 3 6 9) I know someone who dreams of things that will happen. Infact, this person called Me to tell Me what they saw about Me multiple times and it all happened as they said. Based on my own analysis from this, I came to understand that maybe what we classify as Time is wrong. What if the past present and future is happening at the same time but because we are in a 3D body, our body can only experience the present! Thats why this person was able to see the future in a dream! One of the most powerful parts of the bible is that which says "Thee are Gods". We are indeed gods with many abilities that we just need to channel 😇

@callmidavid because i dont want to GO

Uber uses Go. Google uses Go. Twitch uses Go. Dropbox uses Go. SoundCloud uses Go. PayPal uses Go. TikTok uses Go. Netflix uses Go. What’s stopping you from learning Go?

@codekeyz nope i was wishing i could relate to what you doing..it actually sounds interesting would love to know more if you dont mind

@johnauduOx done this sort of stuff before?

Sat in my car whole night, laptop and ENET maxing cos I was tryna reverse engineer the protocol being used by ISTA and Bootmod3 to live log engine vitals. Still doesn't work. Tokens burnt. Now I have no option than to go splicing CAN lines to get the data. 🤤

@Megatron_ron pls is there nay link to an article on this

NEW: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 Trump confirmed today that China is refusing to buy NVIDIA chips because they are developing their own This once again confirms that the US has lost the main bargaining card with China which I wrote about it yesterday. TRUMP: “They have (Nvidia) a much higher level than H200.China needs it and yeah it came up. They choose not to buy because they want to develop their own. I think something could happen on that.”

The White House reports that the Trump administration has executed a meticulously planned and complex mission to eliminate the world’s most active terrorist from the battlefield in the Lake Chad region. They are calling him Abubakar Mainok. The problem with this report is that this so-called senior terrorist was already reported killed by the Nigerian army during a similar mission on April 4, 2024. I find it confusing that this same man has been killed twice. Is he immortal, or is there something the Trump administration is hiding from us? Given the damage the US-Iran war did to the remaining shred of dignity the American military possessed, I hope this is not just another PR campaign designed to convince the public that America is working tirelessly for "global stability". The people of Nigeria would certainly be happy for these reports to be true. The last time the US government touted a major military strike against terrorists in Northern Nigeria, Nigerians celebrated and were genuinely hopeful. Their joy was short-lived, however, when it was later revealed that the American bomb did not kill a single terrorist. Instead, it was dropped on an empty field near an innocent village. The people of Nigeria who host these American bases would love to see real progress toward dismantling these terror groups. They do not want to be used to score cheap political points in an attempt to sustain the legitimacy of a declining empire.

@drpenking God go really miss our set

See Devil wey Bible say make we stay alert against. E rest Gen Z turn them invite am come do groove

Finance folks defending policies that only work on paper while their quality of life keeps declining just to maintain some fake sense of intellectual superiority. If the economics never translates to real life, what does that tell you, Einstein?

@justsa_rah Use React Native Expo, though for some things you might still need a MacBook. Apple intentionally locks in their ecosystem.

So Nigerians, there's no hack to building ios app without a mac? What if I get an iPhone or something Nothing?? 🤦🏾‍♀️😭 Common now, there must be something

Singapore and Nigeria are both colonial projects set up by the same gangs of imperial cartels. While Singapore managed to become a gleaming capitalist success, Nigeria was left to rot into the poverty capital of the world. This remarkable divergence between these two nations is of course not due to culture or systematic corruption in Nigeria. The true culprit is the cold and unforgiving Math of Geography. The British did not see Singapore as a country. To them it was just another mosquito infested swamp with an insignificant number of people. They used it as a cutthroat forward operation to violently counter the Dutch spice monopoly in the East Indies. Singapore was designed from day one to be nothing more than a highly efficient cashier for the empire. When the British packed up, the Americans walked in and bought the franchise. America needed Singapore to serve as a logistical ground for the Vietnam war. And indeed, during the whole duration of the war it was in Singapore that warships were packed, fighter jets would refuel, ammunition stockpiles were warehoused, wounded soldiers were treated in transit, and naval vessels underwent massive repairs. To make things easier for America they even built an oil refinery in Singapore to make bombing Vietnam easier and more efficient. Because of the war America was contributing to over 15 percent of Singapore's GDP while making Singapore one of the biggest oil manufacturing hubs in the world at that time. It got filthy rich fueling the jets that dropped missiles on its Asian neighbors. Nigeria on the other hand, was too big and completely unnecessary for the British to develop. All they wanted was a giant extractive plantation and not a state. You do not need functional hospitals or world class universities to siphon crude oil out of the Niger Delta or haul cash crops to the Atlantic. You only need a few compliant local overseers and a secure pipeline to the coast. In fact, systematic dysfunction is necessary for extraction because you leave the state too weak and divided to challenge your plunder or seek for better trading terms. As the global economy mutated from industrial manufacturing to digital finance, the American empire decided to upgrade its favorite Asian pet once again. America and its Western allies began transferring astronomical financial assets, routing multinational corporate headquarters, shifting massive foreign direct investments, establishing regional banking monopolies, and integrating the island into exclusive global clearing systems. They handed over technological patents, advanced telecommunications infrastructure, and lucrative free trade agreements, and this allowed Singapore to ditch the oil stained overalls for a bespoke luxury suit. The island seamlessly transitioned from a military gas station to a sophisticated global money laundering hub. It became a pristine, high tech vault where Chinese oligarchs, Western tax dodgers, and Third World dictators could legally scrub their looted wealth under the polite and respectable guise of wealth management. As a reward for spreading its legs to these corporations and billionaires, Singapore was rewarded with shiny skyscrapers because it learned how to wash the dirty money of the ruling class without asking any inconvenient moral questions. So while the technology and wealth flowed to Singapore, Nigeria was being engineered to fail. These cartels of imperialists created the World Trade Organisation and drafted laws that made it too expensive for Nigeria to refine and sell its resources so that they continue to flow uninterrupted to power Western industries. They weaponized the International Monetary Fund(IMF) and the World Bank to shove Structural Adjustment Programs(SAP) down the throat of the country, forcing the reckless privatization of state assets and the crippling devaluation of the currency just to ensure the population stayed desperate and the labor stayed cheap. They flooded the nation with Western NGOs that masquerade as humanitarian saviors while actually neutralizing genuine grassroots political resistance by making local activists entirely dependent on foreign donor grants. Furthermore, the Nigerian Police and Army are routinely trained, armed, and funded by the West not to defend the national borders, but to act as a hostile internal occupation force dedicated to protecting multinational oil installations from the very citizens being exploited. Even the Nigerian judiciary is systematically molded to uphold colonial commercial contracts over human rights, guaranteeing that any legal dispute over stolen land or poisoned water ends in favor of the foreign cartels. So we can actually conclude that the empire made a highly calculated and brilliant decision by investing in Singapore instead. An investment in Nigeria would have been far too chaotic. If they transferred all those technological patents and financial skyscrapers to Nigeria it would be a catastrophic risk. Nigeria has a population of over 220 million people, a vast ungovernable landmass, and a monument of natural resources buried underground. Allowing such a massive country to become a wealthy, self sufficient industrial hub would be geopolitical suicide for the West. At any moment their thriving youth population could simply wake up, organize a massive rebellion, nationalize their resources, and close down the foreign embassies just as the Iranians did to the Americans in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. For Singapore, no such things will ever happen. The island has no resources to nationalize, no vast population to mount a rebellion, and no survival strategy other than serving the empire. It is the perfect, obedient corporate vault.

@Benn_X1 what do they mean by "discovery activities"

Finding talent is hard. It’s difficult to reconcile the fact that many people are trying to find a job while employers struggle to fill positions. And NO, it is not always about money. At every salary range, finding qualified candidates is hard. You just need to interview people to understand this. You won’t make it as long as you continue to insist that the process and strategy that has consistently not worked for you is the best thing out there. It takes humility to admit that the people who somehow get these opportunities have something you don’t have, and then learn from them.

Honestly i can really relate to this...
