Having fun

@WhatsApp we see you fam!

I built this because I'm tired of ML tools that don't work for us.

Tired of tokenizers that butcher our languages. Tools that assume unlimited GPU. Models that don't know our names.

Nigeria deserves ML infrastructure built by us, for us.

More coming → Spread the Word Nigeria!

NaijaML v0.1.1 is live.

Use it. Break it. Contribute.

Africa's 4th Industrial Revolution can't run on borrowed infrastructure.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Africa spends $55B/yr on security. Every intelligent system — drones, fraud detection, diagnostics — runs on ML.

But the ML infrastructure wasn't built for Nigerian data or languages.

Sovereign AI needs sovereign ML infrastructure. NaijaML is that foundation layer.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Design philosophy:

Every decision starts with "Does this work on a laptop in Lagos with 4GB RAM and intermittent power?"

→ CPU-first, GPU optional
→ Offline after first download
→ 17MB total models
→ Deps: numpy, requests, tqdm
→ Honest accuracy numbers

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Nigerian text preprocessing no other NLP library does:

→ +234/080x phone numbers → masked
→ BVN and NIN → masked
→ ₦ currency → parsed
→ Pidgin particles (sha, sef, abeg) → preserved

mask_pii("Call 08012345678")
→ 'Call [PHONE]'

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Sentiment analysis across Nigerian languages:

analyze_sentiment("This film too sweet!") → positive
analyze_sentiment("Wannan fim din yana da kyau") → positive (Hausa)

72% accuracy — honest number. 4.3MB. Transformer upgrade coming.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Five Nigerian languages. One function call:

detect_language("Bawo ni, se daadaa ni?") → 'yor' detect_language("Ina kwana?") → 'hau' detect_language("Kedu ka ị mere?") → 'ibo' detect_language("How far, wetin dey happen?") → 'pcm'

1.8MB model. Milliseconds.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Most requested tool in Nigerian NLP:

from naijaml.nlp import diacritize_dot_below

diacritize_dot_below("Ojo lo si oja") → 'Ọjọ lo si ọja'

97.5% accuracy. 6.4MB. No GPU. Works offline.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Presenting NaijaML v0.1.1:

→ Yorùbá diacritizer (97.5%)
→ Igbo diacritizer (95.2%)
→ Language detection (5 langs)
→ Sentiment analysis (4 langs)
→ 7 dataset loaders
→ PII masking & preprocessing

Total: 17MB. All CPU. No GPU needed.

pip install naijaml

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Nigeria has 237M+ people. 500+ languages. Largest tech ecosystem in Africa.

But standard ML tools:
→ Destroy Yorùbá diacritics
→ Don't recognize Nigerian names
→ Think Pidgin is English
→ Strip "sha" and "sef" as typos

BTW, Pidgin has 120M+ speakers.

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Standard NLP tools can't tell "day" from "rain" in Yorùbá. They strip diacritics. They think Pidgin is broken English.

So I built NaijaML — open-source ML tools for Nigerian languages.

Live on PyPI today: pip install naijaml

The puzzle consists of 5 different-colored houses in a row, each lived in by a resident of a different nationality. Each resident owns a different pet, prefers a different drink, and smokes a different brand of cigarettes than the others. Who owns the zebra, who drinks water?

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

Apparently, Albert Einstein left an assignment for the world before he left. Only 2% of the World Population is rumored to be able to solve the puzzle without Ai.

can you solve it?

[The Son of Vinci @TheSonOfVinci]

Huge News just came in.

The Duffer Brothers just confirmed that tomorrow is Monday.

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

@hopfiIms lets not forget El had Vecna at least twice, and she didn't kill him.

Apparently, if you search 67 in your chrome browser, the browser 67s 🤷‍♂️

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

@liquidai Amazing Team!!

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

@NationalGridNg everywhere go warm no be small, i don dey sweat sef...

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

@NationalGridNg who cares, very soon yall will be phased out.

[Son Of El @ASeedOfEl]

@vikhyatk who made the rules?

i do what i want
