Let's be able to say for sure everyone living in Nigeria is having a Great Life! #ANewNigeria

CSR has to begin at home. Jarus Homes excited to commit to donate a mini sports complex (consisting of football pitch and volleyball and tennis courts) to the University of Offa.

@HouseOfsure10 @MrOlibaba Yep

@MrOlibaba We refer to them as office assistant

I don't call the people that clean the office, "Cleaners". They do a lot beyond cleaning and they deserve to be addressed properly. I call them "hygiene officers". I'm big on respect.

Nigerian business banking startup @brassHQ merges operations into @paystack MFB techcabal.com/2026/06/01/bra…

System design concepts every Nigerian backend dev must know: → Idempotency — same request, same result, no duplicates → Eventual consistency — distributed systems don’t update instantly → Circuit breaker — stop calling a failing service automatically → Dead letter queue — catch failed jobs before they disappear → Optimistic locking — prevent concurrent writes from corrupting data → CQRS — separate read and write models for high-traffic systems → Saga pattern — manage multi-step transactions without distributed locks These aren’t interview concepts. They’re what keeps your payment system running at 3AM. Save this.

Meet Nigerian American Ikenna Okezie, the CEO and co-founder of Somatus, a $2.5 billion kidney care company transforming how America manages chronic kidney disease. Raised in Detroit by a family of physicians, he majored in Economics at Yale before earning medical and business degrees from Harvard. His company, Somatus, shifts kidney care from late-stage dialysis to early prevention. Using an AI platform called RenalIQ, it tracks patient health, offers virtual care, and partners with local physicians. He found a flaw in the system and fixed it. Okezie has achieved something rare: a fortune built not on sickness, but on keeping people well. Culled

There are many start ups doing way better numbers than the companies currently listed on the stock exchange. Both top line and bottom line. How can we get those start ups there instead?

What an incredible experience to host one of the only two Indians who have gone to space @spc_india. It is one of the joys of my job to be able to meet inspiring people and learn from them. @gagan_shux's advice: "Dream big and stay curious".

@pham_blnh, @chenosaurus and Jacob’s Desktop Robot Assistant looks simple, but the architecture is wild. To move a candy bar, it orchestrates: Voice Agents, VLMs for spatial awareness, ACT policies, and Momo Act 2. The models are distributed across laptops in the room and an H200 server in Finland, executing physical tasks over the internet with real-time, ultra-low latency.

this team won the embodied ai hackathon at SPC and it was all from technical grit, instead of something flashy. their whole system runs on webrtc, same protocol i built with 12 years ago. they networked every piece of compute in the room like peers. the arm, cameras, planner, local models. all talking directly to each other instead of through a server. the reason they won? effective engineering. smart decisions about what runs local vs remote. action chunking on the laptop, planning on an h200 in finland, classical cv for positioning. no flash, just a system that actually worked live with low latency had dinner with the team after + others close to the event. they're from @livekit, which works with voice tooling for robotics. highly recommend you check them out. wild to see where webrtc is these days..

keynoted for Space Force last week on ai capabilities. spoke with leadership on both the government and contractor sides. what no software engineer wants to hear: the biggest blind spot in deployment is sending engineers into domains they don't understand and expecting the tech to bridge the gap. during the legacy era of pre-ai software deployment, the productivity boost of a purely digital system was impressive enough. now they want the engineer as well trained as the expert. you cannot deploy an agentic solution in these specialized fields unless you develop the domain expert's ability to eval. if you are an engineer in ai deployment, getting specialized to your target deployment niche is going to be the biggest alpha for your output. the true answer is people who are genuinely expert in both ai engineering AND the domain. and almost nobody is for these niches. the era of generic tooling solving generic inefficiencies is over whoever develops a solution for this is going to win the ai race. can software engineers keep up with the real world deployments?

posted on this back in march, but this will eventually become a study in a biz school somewhere. claude had the upper hand for the last two quarters due to their harness + model quality showing breakthroughs for production grade coding. they lost that lead almost overnight. heres why: 1. they treated their model as the moat, which wasnt sustainable as all OAI had to do was tune for code and release. the real moat for power users(the main consumer base + source for coding data) is price/perfomance and UX of the harness. OAI holds all compute and a comparable model so they get the price floor, simple as. 2. for some reason, anthropic decided to release a PR stint around Mythos with the implication that devs weren't to be trusted with such power, and its clear at this point it really was an attempt to declare their pivot away from the consumer to enterprise. this was also interpreted as a signal that anthropic wont be releasing SOTA to the consumer anymore, so users switched. OAI released a comparable model anyway and the world didn't implode, so, theres that too. 3. OAI bought all the talent for the harness they could over the last 12 months, Alex app, etc all got folded into one thing: make codex the best ever. All efforts in the company went towards this, instead of silently abandoning Claude Code users for enterprise like Anthropic is probably doing. 4. The claude code team is faced with hard choices, report the churn as a price/perfomance issue and take that up with execs, only to be told they cant budge, or try to find core UX issues that might win back some users. both choices are suboptimal and wont solve. core lesson: if you plan to abandon your core customer, be really careful how you execute that or you may end up in a canyon you cant cross

@willsentance Thank you for sharing

supply chain, supply chain, supply chain. its the biggest gap between american manufacturing and reshoring. if you are a founder or engineer focused on Physical AI, factor this into the list of problems you should try solving. robotics wont work if we run out of materials

request for a startup: china has a domestic factory listing service called 1688. you type in the need, see supplier offerings, see prices instantly, and can even order. america's closest equivalent is thomasnet, which only is a directory of companies with sparse info on actual offerings, pricing, and no way to compare them. you shouldn't have to wait for a rep to get back to you for a quote, you should be able to preview offerings and pricing before even contacting, and it should all be on one site. if america is going to reindustrialize, we must take notes on how other countries got there in the digital age. a centralized marketplace for industry is the first step that will accelerate our supply chain and make factories confident in our ability to compete. reindustrialize.

🎥 || #UCLfinal highlights | #PSGARS | Budapest 30-05-26 — Congratulations to PSG. Well deserved. — Vitinha is phenomenal. #UCL Man of the match — Joao Neves the Asst Class Rep — Definition of solid : hit Gabriel up — Unsung hero : The referee (composed and delivered) Welcome to the stats section: — Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. — Only Carlo Ancelotti (5) has now won more European Cup/UEFA Champions League trophies than Luis Enrique (3) and the Spaniard also has the highest win percentage of any manager with 50+ games in UEFA Champions League history (63.3%). — Gabriel Magalhães is the first player to hit a penalty over the crossbar in a #UCLfinal penalty shootout since Milan's Serginho in 2005 (v Liverpool). His first penalty for Arsenal. — Arsenal remain the team with the most games in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history to never lift the trophy (226). #ARSPSG Enjoy the highlights and Happy Sunday.💙🎉

#PSGARS The Finals My two cents… Vitinha is just phenomenal. Modrić 2.0 levels of midfield control. What a footballing metronome 👏🏽👏🏽 Well played PSG. Superior on the day The odds-on favourites won. They needed a penalty to get level and then the Gunners lost on penalties. Speaking of penalties... why wasn't the last one taken by Madueke, an actual fwd, or Zubi? Intriguing choice. Mikel clearly had his reasons, but it did raise an eyebrow. And while we're on penalties, can we please stop with the stutter step dance on the run-up? Just hit it like Rooney did and Gyökeres does. Hard High Top Bins Read: Eze. 🤦‍♂️ The best attack and midfield in the world came up against the best defence in the world. Fine margins I'd promised myself I wouldn't mention officiating, but here we are. Forget the Noni penalty shout. The sheer inconsistency of what was and wasn't deemed a foul all night was baffling Never seen half time called when a side is about take a corner 🤷🏼‍♂️ (There was no delay in taking it) If Timber was fit enough for minutes, was he not fit enough to start at RB for 60’? Curious Mosq tho had a good game till the give n go pen Nonetheless, another step forward. CL semis last season
Finals this season Done fairly within the rules The trajectory is obvious. It'll happen sooner rather than later What's most amusing is the army of little twerps crawling out of the woodwork to celebrate an Arsenal defeat while their own clubs have spent the season cosplaying as football teams Get a life Most of them would happily donate a kidney for Arteta as their manager and Gabriel at centre-back Fact Great season All those at the parade tomo, be louder than you would if we’d done the unlikely double Chant Gabi’s name more than you would’ve otherwise He’s defended the house all season like the last man standing at times Terrific footballer n deserves the respect n support Lastly, pls take a look at Marquinhos consoling his national compadre after he missed the final pen. The essence of good sportsmanship Play hard Play fair Good grace in victory n defeat ❤️
