"LET US GET A NEW LANGUAGE" — Sunday Observer, 1969 "I do not like the idea of allowing English to remain our official language in this country. Our independence will not be complete as long as we continue to use the language of our colonial masters."

"A decade after Independence, English remains Nigeria's official language. But as the great majority of Nigerians cannot understand it, should a Nigerian language be given official status?" — DRUM, 1971 Should Nigeria have adopted a national language? In collaboration with @lingawalearn

Communiqué
Communiqué@Communique_HQ·
In October last year, we introduced a paywall for Communiqué. It was an experiment: we wanted to see whether the subscription model could work for us. After a year of testing and iterating, we’ve realised that while the paywall brought in a small, loyal core, it also narrowed our reach. So we're trying something new.

This talk will explore the current progress and persistent challenges in developing Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for African languages. With over 2,000 languages spoken across the continent, most remain underrepresented in the AI ecosystem due to limited data,

Two years remain in President Bobo’s reign. Two years to switch from PowerPoint politics (not even governance) to people-first progress. Two years to replace graphs with groceries, and buzzwords with bread. By: @themuslaw punocracy.com/floating-naira…

Subsidies? Gone. Naira? Floated into the abyss. Taxes? Multiplied like rabbits in mating season. The result? A nation where the avg citizen now considers a full meal a luxury. But fear not, for our leader assures us that this is the path to prosperity. punocracy.com/floating-naira…
