@SamAmadi @iamHSDickson Party primaries should be held via online voting. It will drastically limit spending on logistics. Each candidate can make a 3-minute video; party members can watch and vote for their favourite. Easy to verify membership, and with an electronic audit trail.

@TheSerahIbrahim Serah, please don't block them. Let the table be prepared in the presence of your enemies. Welcome back, but the way...

@FIXA_App @NDCWarRoom I don't understand you talking about Lagos when he is currently in office? What is he currently doing with power?

I was glad to participate in this important discussion.

Technology is becoming a key anchor of India-Africa cooperation & development. At “What’s Next for India–Africa Relations?”, the panel “Critical Technologies in a Contested World,” focused on how India & Africa can work together across digital public infrastructure, clean energy, critical minerals, agricultural innovation & technology safeguards. Bringing the critical African perspective, @Chylo360, Professor, @JindalGlobalUNI noted, that "with minerals, the rest of the world has often approached Africa to come in and extract.” India’s opportunity is to help change that model through deeper co-development and implementation. That shift depends first on energy. @Ashish_Khanna, Director General, @isolaralliance put it clearly: “Energy is the binding constraint for growth in Africa. You cannot have digitisation, health, growth without energy.” It also means moving beyond extraction. Rajat Verma, Founder and CEO, @lohum argued that “India needs to bring its refining and processing capabilities to Africa, not just because it is rule mandated, but in the true spirit of partnership.” On digital public infrastructure, Sanjay Jain, Director of Digital Public Infrastructure, @gatesfoundation stressed adaptation over replication: “The principles of DPI need to be taken from India and then localised.” But scale must come with safeguards. As Raja Rajeshwari Chandrasekharan, DPI Safeguards Advisor, @UNDP cautioned, “DPI is one of the best exports that India has created. But when DPI is poorly designed and deployed, it can run into many risks like cyber security, vendor lock-ins, exclusionary risks & capacity issues.” Together, the discussion underscored a sharper proposition: the next phase of India–Africa technology cooperation must connect energy access, digital systems, critical minerals, local value creation & risk mitigation. CSEP’s Africa hub, TARA, is focused precisely on this intersection: bringing together policy research, industry insight, multilateral experience & development practice to identify how cooperation can move from ambition to delivery. @vedavn

I ask you, my people, to empower me as your president and commander-in-chief. I will be in charge. I have the requirements for correct leadership: character, competence, commitment, compassion, hard work, honesty, humanity, and humility.

@renoomokri I am only responding to this because I have the economic knowledge to correct dis misinformation. Using PPP (~₦211 per intl$), that same 45L in PPP terms equals only ₦17,000 in Nigeria's price level. While that same 45L actually costs ₦58,500 in Nigeria (93% of our min. wage)

@pearlythingz I don't understand. Is she saying being bald is an insult now? My oh my...

[Chisom Ubabukoh, Ph.D @Chylo360]

@gen_gods @therealchurchg1 The problem is that the leaders don't come out of nowhere. The leaders are selected from among the people, and the more corrupt the people are, the more corrupt the leaders will be.

@rnyantakyi002 You tried o. I'm hardly able to take notes when Dr Ogbueli speaks. I just listen to soak the spirit. Really incredible session

@RepRileyMoore Dear Rep. Moore, there has been an uptick in school children abductions since Trump promised to intervene. I think the terrorists are building up human shields in anticipation of aerial attacks. Please advise the POTUS to act hard and fast, sweet as he calls it!

@SaharaReporters Why is everyone shouting? Is anything wrong with the proposed date? I think it normally would have been held January or February of 2027, so nothing wrong pushing it to Nov/Dec 2026 to give time for all the election petitions to be resolved before swearing in.

[Chisom Ubabukoh, Ph.D @Chylo360]

@PeterObi I wish @officialADCNig_ should embrace direct public polling for presidential primaries instead of the delegate system. Let's choose the most popular candidate, not the richest. Election will be over before 12pm on election day. Let's get the most popular person, not deep pocket
