Everything Codes

@WebBuildingFrog @starter_story Ai coding agents are tools not the architects nor the builders. Just because something appears easier than it used to, doesn’t take away effort. That effort is the difference between success and failure.

@AfolabiDewale I use too for a while and it was cool but it has some limitations unlike using the direct models IDEs

Spanking kids is a lazy form of parenting. If you can teach a pet to behave without hitting why are you beating your kids with a belt.

@bashoroon @TosinOlugbenga Academic* does not guarantee wealth. The only time Education does not guarantee wealth is only if you’re dead or incapacitated!

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

@TosinOlugbenga Mind to explain why you say so?

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

You’re conflating education with academia. Those are not the same thing.

Academia gives you information, qualifications and credentials. Education develops your knowledge, practical skill, judgment, character, adaptability and ability to create value. It should transform you into someone who can solve problems, make sound decisions, navigate difficult conditions and improve both your own life and the society around you. That is why a truly educated person should naturally succeed to some degree: success is not separate from education; it is one of the clearest outcomes of it.

Now apply that to a Nigerian lecturer. If a lecturer has genuinely excelled in Nigeria despite the country’s difficult conditions, they are not merely teaching theory. They are passing on tested knowledge, lived experience and practical judgment about how to navigate the same environment their students will face. They can teach what works, what fails, how the system behaves, where the opportunities are and how to apply the discipline under real Nigerian constraints.

A student who receives that kind of education should leave with far more than a certificate. They should leave with a credible and practical capacity to succeed in Nigeria because they were educated by someone who has already demonstrated how to do it under the same conditions.

If someone leaves school with only a certificate but still lacks the capacity to thrive in real life, they were not truly educated; they were merely schooled. That is exactly why many people say our educational institutions are failing: they often produce academic achievement without practical competence, sound judgment or the ability to succeed outside academia.

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

Unfortunately, your tweet uses a lot of words to avoid the actual point. This is not about the classist habit of judging people solely by where they sit on a plane. The question is whether someone can credibly teach a discipline they appear unable to apply successfully in their own life.

Most people do not attend university merely to become academically informed. They attend because the institution sells education as preparation for professional and economic success. Yet many universities recruit lecturers almost entirely for academic achievement, with little concern for whether they have demonstrated practical success in the fields they teach.

That creates a serious credibility problem. If an institution promises to prepare students to succeed in the real world but is staffed mainly by people who have only succeeded within academia, then there is a clear mismatch between the promise and the product.

This is precisely why school is partly perceived as a scam, especially in Nigeria. In stronger educational systems, students are more likely to encounter professors who have also built companies, practised medicine, designed real systems, advised institutions or excelled professionally outside the university. In Nigeria, too many lecturers appear trapped entirely within academia, teaching engineering without meaningful engineering practice, business without building businesses, and economics without demonstrating economic success. That does not mean every Nigerian lecturer is incompetent, but the institutional pattern is difficult to ignore.

So the point is not simply, “He flew business class and his lecturer did not.” The deeper question is: how much real-world authority should a teacher have when teaching others how economies, resources and success work? Dismissing that question as ordinary Nigerian classism is not insight. It is missing the argument entirely.

@rezoundous They’ll eventually release the almighty Mythos 💀

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

Look around—what exactly has been left for people to thrive on? You cannot separate bad governance from the behaviour of the society it governs. When institutions reward corruption, punish honesty, normalise hardship and deny people basic dignity, those conditions eventually shape how an entire generation thinks, behaves and relates to others. Culture does not develop in a vacuum; leadership, institutions and living conditions influence it. So no, I’m not accepting the idea that Nigerians are simply “terrible people” while government is treated as irrelevant.

[Nathan || Outfluencer🥶 @TheNathanWay]

Bàd government aside, 90% of Nigerians are terrible people!

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

@CodeByNZ It doesn’t matter at this point.

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

@DanielLockyer High is a sweet spot ngl

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

You’re missing the bigger issue: this may be less about protecting data and more about controlling it. Nigerians—including government officials—routinely exchange sensitive information through foreign-owned platforms like WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and X. Yet there is hardly any serious push to build a secure, Nigerian-owned messaging platform. If data sovereignty is truly the concern, why focus only on where financial data is stored while ignoring the foreign platforms carrying sensitive national information every day? That contradiction is far more concerning.

[Temitope @topeapoola]

Can’t believe my eyes how Nigerian youths- not even 35- those who are supposed to be the immediate future of the country are this pessimistic. Aye yin se ti bayi na? Let there be data breach, let banks be hacked. We will learn and go harder. You guys have failed your country already. A 74- year old has so much vision but 24 yo cannot because they’ve been fed with so much bitterness. Shame on all of you guys!

[Kay Dev @COST_ng]

@OLABIM2533691 @topeapoola @TechpointAfrica In a country where education is abused and humiliated, who gets to build and maintain these required infrastructures? We should stop trying to jump to Z before fixing A and B please.
