Earlier today, i was thinking about how to eradicate any feeling of impostor syndrome and how to become a better software engineer overall which led to the conversation you see in the screenshot below.

[Sir 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲🔥 @Tunex01]

Engineer in the house, which one is better?🤔

[Faisal Adams @code_crushed]

What if I told you 10 engineering teams at UNILAG are currently building solutions to Nigerian problems… and we might not be able to afford to let them finish?
Please, Watch this Video. 👇

@hackSultan @AdoraNwodo @SamuelOtigba @Tunde_OD

5,000 engineering students. 10 departments. 10 prototypes.
And somehow, we still struggle to convince people to fund innovation.

On August 28, over 2000 students from all 10 engineering departments at the University of Lagos will come together for the first ever PIDEC Grand Finale, where student teams will present prototypes built to solve actual Nigerian problems.

I’m Faisal Adams, a final year Electrical & Electronics Engineering student at UNILAG and Chairman of PIDEC, the Prototype Inter Departmental Engineering Challenge.

Together with the President of the University of Lagos Engineering Society, Olawale Ayoola, we created PIDEC around a simple idea:
Engineering students shouldn’t spend four or five years learning how things work without getting enough opportunities to actually build.

And honestly, this is where I need your help.

Because these students have spent weeks BUILDING:
🩸 A device for point-of-care blood typing.
⚡ Smart energy management for homes.
��️ A wearable child-safety GPS tracker.
🌱 Soil intelligence for agriculture and farm infrastructure.
🛣️ Real-time pothole detection and mapping.
♻️ Intelligent waste sorting.
…and four more prototypes tackling problems across healthcare, infrastructure, drainage, petroleum and more.

This is what happens when you give engineering students permission to stop just learning engineering and actually DO engineering.

But here’s the problem.

We are still on our way to hit our ₦10 MILLION target to make this first edition what it deserves to be.

And we are running out of time.
This isn’t just about putting together another student event.
The first edition determines whether PIDEC becomes a one-time experiment or a platform that future generations of Nigerian engineers inherit and build on.
And I really, REALLY don’t want the latter to happen because we couldn’t get people to believe in it.

So I’m asking Twitter/X to help me do something.
If you know a UNILAG alumnus, founder, tech leader, company executive, investor, creator, or anyone who genuinely cares about young Nigerians building things, TAG THEM.

Don’t just like this tweet.
TAG THEM.

If you can support financially, we’ll appreciate it.

If you can introduce us to someone who can support, even better.

If all you can do is repost this and put it in front of someone who can make a difference, that matters too.

I genuinely believe Nigeria doesn’t have a shortage of brilliant young people.

We have a shortage of platforms, resources and people willing to bet on them.

Let’s change that.

Watch the video.
Tag someone.
Repost this.

Let’s make sure these students are not building in silence.

PIDEC Grand Finale — August 28.
Let’s make the first one count.

Hey @AppleSupport - Swift Student Challenge 2026 winner from Nigeria 🇳🇬

@RaenestApp You guys are posting but you find it hard to respond to your support channels???

@onesliceofthels @Wizarab10 please help us if you can

[Mama T @onesliceofthels]

Please RT 🙏🏽
My mother, Mrs. Chioma Maduagwu Udoh, is currently battling a severe spinal condition and urgently needs TWO critical surgeries to regain her mobility. The total cost of both surgeries is ₦21,000,000, which is far beyond what my family can afford.

My siblings and I lost our father, and our mum has been the only parent we have left. She has sacrificed so much to raise us and provide for our family. Watching her struggle to walk and live with this condition has been heartbreaking.

We are doing everything within our power to raise the funds for her treatment, but we cannot do it alone. We are kindly asking for any assistance you may be able to offer, whether through a donation, a repost, a mention on your platform, or sharing our appeal with others.

We have attached her hospital documents and surgery quotation for transparency and verification.

Every contribution and every share brings us one step closer to helping our mum regain her mobility and improve her quality of life.

Thank you for taking the time to read our message. We sincerely appreciate your kindness, prayers, and support.

[David Odes @chiefdavidsays]

I emailed ByteToBreach, the threat actor behind the Sterling Bank, Remita, and now Corporate Affairs Commission breaches, with 10 accountability questions.

He answered all of them.

In my latest piece, I break down the Corporate Affairs Commission breach in full.

How he got in. What he accessed. The scale of what was taken, a second access vector into the CAC's systems that he revealed directly to me, not in any published artefact and direct confirmation on whether any corporate records were modified.

He also confirmed he was in active ransom negotiations with Sterling Bank for €250,000 before dumping their data.

The CAC has since issued a public statement. I break down what it says and what it leaves unanswered.

And he told me directly why Nigerian institutions have become his focus.

A Nigerian fintech founder raised $2M, built a slick app, onboarded 40,000 users.

Then CBN, NDPC, and FCCPC came knocking at the same time.

He had no licence. no DPO. no KYC tier structure. no breach policy.

The company didn’t survive 2024.

Here’s every rule you must know before you build:

@Abdulhakeem_ZK They went there together, all friends from the same faculty and level in UNILAG

@DHKRULLAH Good afternoon am adekunle adebayo founder of bayluxeauto services I'm interested and I have enough experience

[bilandi @B1LAND1]

@ThaBoyYom They want their house to look like a Luxury Airbnb so bad that they forgot to add a Soul.

Everything is placed for the Gram. The books on the table are fake, the fruit in the bowl is plastic.

It’s a simulation of a life, designed for likes.

I prefer a messy house with peace

@Feeztm There is a power station here called Egbin power station and they generate about 60% of the electricity used in the country, it only makes sense that they have stable electricity
