Seeing Christians drive to church on a Sunday morning and disobeying traffic lights is just crazy!!!!

Then you have the public that has carried the consequence of the last borrowing spree, backing the whiny public servants. If there's no funds, you trim your expenses, you don't keep swelling its size year on year Households & businesses have had to trim, why wont the govt trim?

It is 2026, nobody should be selling you "spend our way to growth" and you're buying it. It didn't work with Buhari, it won't work now. The idea that once it is infrastructure spending, then it will all work out over time is not aligned with reality.

@Yantumakii What options are there to fund the deficit professor ?

1. Who said we have a %2.3 trillion infrastructure deficit? 2. Why must the deficit be funded with loans? Are there no other options? 3. What happened to the loans procured in the past that were tied to infrastructure projects? You see, there are a lot of questions to answer here.

Cos Nigeria has a $2.3trillion infrastructure deficit. Nigeria is also one of the lowest taxed countries in the world. On very good years, the highest we make from oil revenue is $25Billion. This means if we rely on oil & taxes alone, it will take us about 200 years to catch up.

It stops the leak that made infrastructure impossible. Think of it as turning off the tap before filling the tank. So Nigerians, stop crying about borrowing, focus more of debt servicing to revenue ratio, & what projects we’re borrowing for.

@movingguy001 @OneJoblessBoy He would have.

@OneJoblessBoy This was the beginning of the downfall of pdp. Wike would have won the presidential election

⏮️Throwback to Nyesom Wike's speech at the PDP Presidential Primaries in 2022. He eventually lost to Atiku Abubakar.

@GbezomeCache @wearegst Oh no

@wearegst They've been paying for tanks lol

These three images prove why Nigeria needs journalism that doesn’t bow to power. gst is making it clear: we will not retract for any reward or favour. We are not for sale. We will be backed by the people.

Had an interview with a “crypto” recruiter. We talked for about 40 minutes, and then they asked me to look at some code. Their first instruction was to clone the repo. I didn’t. They seemed surprised, so I told them I wanted a moment to check whether it was safe first. I ran a quick analysis with Claude. Turns out the code had a backdoor. It would copy my environment variables and send them to a remote server. The recruiter went speechless and ended the call pretty quickly. Be careful who you talk to. Scammers are real.

Abuja needs a true administrator. A working city is beyond bridges.

Okay, this is terrible!

Today we're announcing LevelUp: a free, four-week training program that takes people with no prior experience and prepares them to work as fiber technicians on data center construction sites across the US. We built this program with CBRE because the fiber technician field, and the broader construction industry, is facing a nationwide shortage at a time when data center demand is higher than ever. How it works: 🔧 Classroom instruction, hands-on labs + team activities covering transferable technical skills 🎓 Graduates have the opportunity to work at Meta's US construction sites through our contractor network 🤝 Open to everyone from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals Since 2010, Meta's data center projects have supported 30,000+ skilled trade jobs during construction + 5,000+ permanent operational roles. LevelUp is about building the pipeline to keep that going. Learn more: go.meta.me/0eb3f6

we talk a lot about infrastructure deficits roads, power, etc. but a people raised on nutritionally compromised food, because they were priced out of better options, is also an infrastructure problem too it’s just one that lags the present

@JookuuJnr @HELPME1575660 @Onyiibekeh 😂

@HELPME1575660 @Onyiibekeh Woowwwwww she never thought of that

Gosh almost missed a turn in VI today cause they covered the pothole I used as a landmark for 3 years. 🥹

1 bedroom in Agungi, Lekki, just listed for ₦3,500,000/yr. Similar ones nearby rented for: - ₦2,300,000 - ₦2,000,000 - ₦1,500,000 All within 4 months. Lagos landlords are not your friends. But at least now you can see the receipts before you negotiate. That's what we're building.

Recommendation isn’t a favour. Someone just risked their integrity for you. Pay back with results. DELIVER!

Job creation targets are generally a waste of everybody's time

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home. Nothing in that system is standing still. The Moon is moving. The Earth is moving. Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here. Adjust here. Come back here. And unlike nepa light, it infact works. There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side. I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything. But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

That is also untrue. They didn't get a license for 20 years and were blocked. I know this because I implemented it in Nigeria and 14 other markets. The PSB license they were eventually given specifically tilts them towards the rural customer (and USSD) as well. They have always had apps. They didn't deliberately choose USSD over apps. Even in Ghana I use apps more than USSD as many others. They even have a huge infrastructure advantage for apps over all others. The banks in Nigeria frustrated them in many ways starting with integration issues and the headache with a fraud incident where they were uncooperative. The telcos have their issues with the wrong vendor strategy but USSD was never the biggest problem. USSD is no longer the dominant channel for them.
