The first cohort was an experiment to see what would happen if you gave people resources and set them loose. We ended up with four projects: an animated short film, a podcast series, essays, and a documentary film.

Now, we're taking all our learnings into the next cohort :🧵👇🏾

In 1957, a policeman went undercover in Abakaliki to investigate a vigilante group. What he uncovered was a network of extortion and murder linked to one of the town's most influential chiefs.

Daniel Ojukwu was arrested for exposing corruption, but Tinubu’s aide, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, who paid N147m to a restaurant to build classrooms, remains free.

The original plan was to open source my solar installation and share every part of it. Then I asked myself: how useful would that really be to most people?

So I did one better. I built a planner that matches your load and budget to a solar design, with the components, where to buy them, and the why behind every decision.

And yes, my own system is open sourced too :)

I blogged about it here: https://t.co/jbejpu3nwW

The system is live https://t.co/42gp119Pat

The arrest and remand of Daniel Ojukwu should concern everyone who believes in accountability and the public's right to know.

Journalism is not a favour granted by those in power. It is an essential part of the accountability architecture of a functioning democracy.

Where there are allegations against a journalist, the proper response is due process, not the creation of an environment where reporting on public expenditure becomes a perilous undertaking.

The questions raised by investigative journalism should be answered with evidence, transparency and facts.
We must be careful not to create a country where the cost of asking difficult questions is the loss of one's liberty.

I stand in solidarity with Daniel Ojukwu and the team at FIJ. His right to a fair hearing must be protected, and his bail application deserves urgent and fair consideration.
A society that makes accountability dangerous will eventually make impunity comfortable.

As the Editor who reviewed, verified, and published the @fijnigeria reports on OSSAP-SDGs, I must clarify the record regarding the ongoing legal action against Daniel Ojukwu and the hunt for Fisayo Soyombo. 1/6

Africa's liquidity gap is estimated to be between $35 billion and $100 billion. The continent's housing deficit is projected to reach about 130 million homes by 2030.

Who is going to raise that much money? Who is going to finance 130 million homes? Money on that scale has to come from investors around the world, and investors need an exchange where they can buy and sell what they fund.

Watch my full announcement of @ekosecurities to find out why I believe Africa is the greenfield for the next generation of capital markets.

partly this, and partly that influencers have also lost the art of only taking gigs that are consistent with their brand/lives/position etc

some personal news — https://t.co/gBoNyQtLAU is my new product studio.

well, "product studio" is the most familiar label, but the reality is stranger than that. i view it as my post-AGI job.

i'm figuring out the future of work for myself. i want to be an example and a resource for others who are searching for the same thing.

my output, through tenderworld, is a series of projects with collaborators new and familiar. we focus on making things that it feels like *only we can make*.

this doesn't mean having a specialized skillset. through each project, we push ourselves into new mediums and processes, aided by machine intelligence, guided by our own intuition.

so far, i've followed this intuition all the way into making hardware, designing toys for my inner child, leaning into my chinese heritage, and working with manufacturers in shenzhen.

my work will certainly keep changing. the future demands continual reinvention of us.

some people call me an artist, some people call me a founder. to me, artist/founder exist on a spectrum. the future of the work we choose to make will increasingly look like art.

This is such a random connection to make this morning, but Mamdani in this video reminds me so much of Bayard Rustin and all the logistical work behind the 1963 Lincoln Memorial march.
