Didn’t expect my #ojudefunaab look to start conversations on @yabaleftonline & @instablog9ja. 🤭
But let me take you behind the scenes: from the outfit, accessories, and the brand story I’ve built since 100L.
Here’s the full story. Thread 👇 (1/9)
Respect to you and Moniepoint for the training programmes (DreamDevs, Women in Tech, 3MTT partnerships etc.) — that work is real and necessary.
But I have to respectfully disagree on the core diagnosis:
Nigeria DOES have senior technical talent resident here.
What we don’t have is enough of them applying to Nigerian companies.
Reason #1 — Compensation reality.
Tech is a global skill. A cracked senior engineer (5–8+ yrs, strong in system design, cloud, scalability, product impact) can work remotely for a US/EU company and clear $5,000–$10,000/month (some even higher).
Local fintech/bank offers? Most still hover between ₦700k–₦2M per month at the absolute top end for seniors, with the average far lower. That gap is 8–15x.
Bro, these guys aren’t stupid. They’re not “unavailable” — they’re rational. They see the Japa math and choose global pay while staying in Nigeria (or they’ve already optimised for remote). The talent is here; the local market just isn’t competing on a global scale.
Reason #2 — Hiring process and interviewer culture is broken.
I’ve done loops with international companies (remote FAANG-tier, global fintechs) and local ones. The difference is night and day.
Nigerian interviewers too often turn the process into an ego battle:
• Interrupting mid-answer
• Asking weird, off-role “depth check” questions just to flex
• Coming across like you’re trying to steal their job instead of solve problems together
• Straight-up rude energy
It feels like they want you to fail so they can later say “see, no talent.”
International processes? Professional, collaborative, structured. You leave feeling respected even if you don’t get the offer.
Top talent ghosts Nigerian companies after one bad experience. That’s not a talent problem, that’s a hiring culture problem.
The senior talent pipeline gap is real in the applicant pool, but the root causes are economic incentives and poor candidate experience, not an absolute shortage of skilled Nigerians still living here.
Fix the pay to be globally competitive (or go full remote-hybrid with dollar salaries) and train your interviewers to park ego at the door, and you’ll see the “shortage” shrink fast.
Talent is here. We just need companies to stop treating the market like it’s 2015. Let’s compete properly.
We came to say thank you…
and we meant it 😭🔥
joy like this can’t be hidden. 🔥
3 whole years.
countless testimonies.
one faithful God.

Update!!🚀🚀
Successfully transformed devsh into a context-aware, platform-correct, and robust DevOps Advisor with full conversational memory.
Key Improvements
1. Multi-Turn Conversation Memory
Full History: The interactive REPL now maintains a full conversation history. This allows you to ask follow-up questions like "now do it for the other one" or "why did that fail?".
Contextual Awareness: The LLM now sees the sequence of previous commands and explanations, enabling it to resolve ambiguous references (like "it", "that pod", etc.) correctly.
2. Troubleshooting and Advisory Support
Automated Context: devsh automatically remembers the last failed command and its error message.
Insights Engine: Provides technical breakdowns of issues (e.g., terminal artifacts, ArgoCD connection failures).
Actionable Recommendations: Step-by-step troubleshooting advice alongside suggested commands.
3. Terminal & REPL Robustness
Survey Integration: Upgraded the REPL for better input stability and cross-platform handling.
State Management: Automatic terminal reset (stty sane) if subcommands leave the TTY in a corrupted state.
We’re currently building Fiilar — an AI-powered platform to discover and book spaces for work, events, stays, and creative projects.
Pre-launch.
Early users.
Strong demand already.
We’re getting close 👀
When they say “stop raping women”, olori-ebis will rear their heads to start asking “what of false accusers?”. Now there’s a whole ass festival dedicated to raping women, with videos circulating, you’re quiet because you’re still investigating the videos with forensics abi?
hey guys,

Finally felt at home at the Africa’s largest creators convergence hosted by @themomentconf today

So much to tell but I’ll keep it in my vlog tomorrow
Thank you @greyfinance for my Nara smith moment , anytime I see my tote bag, I’ll be reminded to use the app 😅
I think so many Nigerians have a skewed understanding of how politics works and the role of the government.
“Tell your father to buy bus”
It’s almost as if she thinks Sanwo-Olu is doing us a favour by providing buses.
That’s the responsibility of the Government!!!
