We’re solving the Olodo uprising pandemic, one NYSC at a time. That’s our contribution to society.
That’s why @Tunde_OD, @hackSultan and I are launching a ₦250 Million Scholarship Fund to help recent graduates gain real, in-demand tech skills that lead to jobs.
Each successful applicant will receive a ₦160,000 scholarship towards a 9–12 month AltSchool Africa diploma in any course of their choice. Beyond technical training, participants will also receive career support and internship/job opportunities through Jobs59.
We also know that learning without a laptop is a major barrier, so we’ll be providing laptops to a select number of scholarship recipients through an additional application process.
If you know a recent graduate who deserves this opportunity, share this post with them.

Holding to old opinions in the face of superior intelligence is not a sign of intelligence.
Nigeria is ranked #1 in global USDT and USDC ownership.
Not the US. Not the UK. Not Singapore.
Nigeria.
59% of Nigerian crypto users hold USDT. 48% hold USDC. More than any other country surveyed. India is third. Brazil close behind.
The reason is obvious once you see it: in countries where local currency loses 20–40% of value annually, stablecoins aren't a crypto product. They're a savings account. A dollar-denominated store of value that doesn't require a US bank account.
Here's what the data doesn't show: most of those stablecoin holders can't use their USDT to buy anything.
No merchant acceptance. No subscription billing. No automatic payment. No way to pay a supplier. They hold the dollars. They can't spend the dollars. They convert back to fiat every time they need to transact.
The gap between stablecoin adoption and stablecoin utility is most visible not in San Francisco or Singapore. It's in Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo.
$308B in circulation. The people who need stablecoin commerce most have the fewest tools to access it.
That's not a distribution problem. That's an infrastructure problem. The rails exist everywhere. The billing layer doesn't exist anywhere.
That's who we're building for.
I may understand that a bunch of people cannot fathom a young adult living and working in Ogun state, trying to make a way for themselves because she ‘looks too good’ for such a job. This person has a sister living in Lagos, it’s a 2 hr drive & She’s 21, I have cousins in Ogun state ffs.
I was 17 filming entertainers at events just to ‘chase something’ from unilag. I was exactly 20 after grad juggling Ikotun & Chevron to be with Yhemolee , Asake and Ashidapo to document everything I could until YL started paying me and got me to film Olamide & Asake Omo ope and it was up from there. I really do understand agenda agending but I won’t let some silly takes ruin this one for her or let y’all undermine videos I create.
I understand that most of my videos span through the progression of a day but this video spanned over a week after our first meet.
I’m unsure how it looks like a 48hr livestream.
