I wrote about how AI can transform elections in Nigeria, drawing insights from @perplexity_ai’s success and highlighting @inecnigeria's role in building transparent, trustworthy elections. open.substack.com/pub/timileyino… Read more 👆 #AI #Elections #INEC #Election2024 #NigeriaDecides

@AbujaPresident Nah. Most people have literally let go what belongs to them because they are trying to avoid "fight" even though humans have always fought to keep their ownership of a land. Another reason is that there are plenty of people to share with on the tree.

We are the first generation of Uncles and Aunties not fighting for land cos we no get anything

just reviewed our numbers. we spend $2,400/month on AI tools. they replace roughly $47K/month in human labor costs. that's a 19x return. and the AI doesn't call in sick, doesn't need a 1-on-1, and doesn't have a 'creative block.' still think AI is overhyped?

Billionaire: “you want to be in business?” “Prepare to get sued and cheated. It’s eventual and also… doesn’t really matter.” Great lesson.

Every time Anthropic ships something new I get more bullish on owning the car wash, the porta-potty business, the waste management company. The assets AI can't eat are the ones where someone has to show up, roll up their sleeves, and do something with their hands.

Cars should be parked under a roof.

@Ozedikus I realised this early this year. It blew my mind up. I cherish their courage to live everyday like that.

There’s a dangerous group of smart people who act dumb to game the system and exploit the ignorant and many of them end up in politics and that other thriving industry I won’t mention. IYKYK

You can't. Go and learn. You're still very ignorant.

@asemota They are tryna say Software Engineer role will no longer be needed in Anthropic in a year.

Everyone seems to ignore the note at the bottom. This is temporary.

You don't suck: making $1k MRR is HARD.

Pretty sure the only way to keep up with all the new AI tools is to not have a job

@IAtalkspace That's it. I was trying to convince a nail tech to start collecting her customer's data intentionally, I went on to explain why it's important bla bla bla and I was struck when she told me "I have all of them on my WhatsApp". I rest.

Because the TAM is extremely small and hasn't expanded much during those 26 years — although things are changing post-2022 thanks to fintechs formalizing SMEs. For example, an auto spare parts vendor in Owode could use a CRM to manage customer conversations but only handful of them do this today. A roadside food vendor, and there are many of them, could use a CRM tool for geo-marketing to boost sales, but most don't even know that this is a thing outside of one-off "patronize me" influencer marketing. If these businesses don't adopt or know they should be using these tools, then there'll be no CRM market expansion.

@buildwithdudu Abeg involve me

Jokes apart, this thing na one of the reasons wey make Oyibo dey ahead of us for development. Them sabi advance planning die. Last year (2025), one Oyibo tell me say her wedding na for June 2027. Person plan wedding two years in advance. The matter burst my brain. But this thing na very simple logic oh: plan ahead to be ahead. You sef reason am: my school dey Spring semester like this but students don already know the names of the professors wey go teach every course for next Summer and Fall. Like this, if I wan plan my holiday for 2028, my school get 2028 calendar as I dey type like this, so I fit see when school go close and deadline to submit grades for that academic year. Na why I dey always laugh when our country people talk say them dey hardworking pass Oyibo. Hardwork no be the physical labor, na the brain work wey dey precede the physical labor.

If you can't sell it, you shouldn't build it.

@asemota @seyedele @Infibranchesng Oh! Thank you.

@timiolaifa @seyedele @Infibranchesng Contact them. They are already running it for many solar companies.

It’s been 26 years and there’s still no CRM tool purposely built for African (Nigerian) businesses that meets us at our point of need and pocket.

@seyedele 😂 Bàbá, please drop update for the boys

One of the dangerous things about our society now is that people who see you and to them you appear to be doing well, somehow resolve that you have to be into fraud. Random, unexpected message from the guy that painted my house. It’s extremely worrisome.

@LuthandoFuze 😂 It's 'wa-way' though.

My deepest fear is pronouncing Huawei in public 😂😂😂
