Open Letter to Elon Musk
Date: 19 April 2026
Mr. @elonmusk
Founder & CEO, SpaceX & Starlink
Dear Mr. Musk,
Subject: Request to Review Starlink Pricing for Greater Accessibility in Rural Nigeria.
I am writing this open letter as a passionate advocate for digital inclusion and education in rural Africa. My name is Amb. Ponfa Miri (Prince), Project Lead of @LangtangIHub in Langtang, Plateau State, Nigeria.
We run a fully rural innovation hub that provides completely free training to rural kids, youth, and women, preparing them for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
Our programmes cover AI literacy, coding, graphic design, digital marketing, virtual assistance, and digital entrepreneurship.
Our core mission is to democratize technology and innovation access so that rural communities are not left behind in the digital age.
We also have a pending flagship project: establishing Free Internet Zones across rural communities to directly bridge the digital divide.
These zones would serve as community learning and opportunity centres giving hundreds of young people and women reliable connectivity to learn, create, and earn in the global digital economy.
@Starlink has brought tremendous hope to remote areas like ours, where traditional broadband is almost non-existent. However, the current pricing remains a major obstacle for rural families, community projects, and social-impact initiatives.
As of 2026, the Starlink hardware kit costs approximately ₦590,000 to ₦669,000, with residential monthly subscriptions starting from ₦57,000 (and higher for other plans). For the average rural Nigerian household and non-profit hubs operating with limited resources, these costs make adoption extremely difficult.
Without affordable, reliable internet, our free 4IR training programmes face serious limitations, and our vision for Free Internet Zones cannot scale as intended. Rural children and women who are eager to learn and compete globally are held back simply because of connectivity costs.
Mr. Musk, I respectfully and urgently appeal to you and the Starlink team to review and introduce tailored solutions for rural Nigeria. Specifically, we request consideration for:
Subsidized or discounted hardware kits for rural innovation hubs, schools, and community centres
Special lower-tier rural or social-impact monthly plans
Flexible payment models, leasing options, or non-profit pricing
Partnerships with local innovation hubs and digital inclusion projects
Such measures would align perfectly with Starlink’s noble mission of connecting the unconnected and would unlock massive potential in education, skills development, agriculture, and entrepreneurship across rural Africa.
We are ready and eager to partner with Starlink, whether by piloting these solutions at Langtang Innovation Hub or helping scale them nationwide.
Mr. Musk, your vision has already changed the world. Making Starlink truly affordable for rural communities in Nigeria would help us democratize technology access and prepare the next generation for a brighter, more inclusive future.
We look forward to your kind consideration.
Thank you for your time and extraordinary leadership.
Sincerely,
Amb. Ponfa Miri (Prince)

I saw a video last night that inspired me to read about human breast milk and the connection between a breastfeeding mother and the child. Follow me.
The composition of the breast milk is not fixed. It changes from time to time, depending on the baby's needs. When a baby latches on to the nipples to suckle, a tiny amount of the baby's saliva flows back into the mother's nipple ducts during feeding. Receptors in the breast interpret this "data," detecting signals about the baby's health, hydration, or needs. In response, the mother's body rapidly adjusts the milk's composition, tailoring it precisely to support her child. This real-time feedback loop highlights how wonderfully attuned the human body is, turning breastfeeding into a dynamic conversation rather than a one-way provision.
This adaptive process can trigger remarkable shifts inside the breast. If the baby's saliva indicates low hydration, the milk becomes more watery to quench thirst. When illness is detected (through pathogens or cues in the saliva), antibodies and immune factors spike, providing targeted protection. For a baby that's too tired, the fat content may increase to promote calmness and satisfaction. These changes can occur within hours, or even minutes, demonstrating the body's extraordinary efficiency.
Breast milk also follows a circadian pattern. "Night milk" enriched in melatonin and sleep-promoting compounds like tryptophan, helping babies settle during evening feeds. Daytime milk, by contrast, contains higher levels of alertness-boosting elements. What this means is that you can pump your breast milk at night and store it, after labeling it properly. If your baby is having a hard time sleeping in the afternoon, you can give them this "night milk" and they will sleep better.
Even the colors of expressed breast milk reveal its living, responsive nature. Everyday mature milk is typically white or creamy. A yellowish tint often signals immune-loaded protection. So, when your baby is ill, the milk will have a yellowish tint. Green colours may come from a mother's diet of leafy greens, while orange or deep yellow reflects carotenoids from foods like carrots. Pink traces can appear from harmless blood (such as from cracked nipples).
The human body is amazing.
The women's body is amazing.
Most importantly, BREAST is awesome!
@AfiaDimple_ -10 is the largest deficit... 0 is NOTHING, meaning there's nothing to measure against others, {therefore not in contest🥴}.
Ps: 0 is the GREATEST number though.
Okbye
It is unfair on the so called Big 3 to have them be compared to Olamide. Olamide’s cultural impact is matchless. His musical repertoire is inimitable. And the stars he made, directly via his platforms or platforming them with his features? Endless.
The toughest thing for a superstar to make is another superstar. Olamide did that and did it again and again. And again.
There is a lot more to be said, but I have been held speechless by his iconic London show. Still reeling from the artistic excellence.
You disrespect them and you’d be diminishing him when you make those comparisons. He is not to be compared. He is playing in his own league, all by himself. He is the big one!
It's that time of the year again 😊
Men, look at the tweet below. Name one thing you want someone to do for you.
Men that have, pick someone from the comment and bless their day.
On this International Men's Day, be a blessing to another man. Let's go 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
