🌟 1. Broader Diversity of Academic Programs
Moor Plantation consists of monotechnics, meaning their curriculum is strictly limited to agricultural sciences, bio-environmental engineering, and related management courses. Conversely, Poly Ibadan offers a vast array of programs across diverse faculties. If your interests lie outside of farming and livestock, Poly Ibadan is the clear choice as it offers robust departments in: [1, 2, 3, 4]
•Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical)
•Computer Science and Information Technology
•Business, Accounting, and Public Administration
•Environmental Studies (Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning)
•Mass Communication and Media Studies
🏆 2. Institutional Status and National Ranking
Poly Ibadan carries a massive academic profile nationwide. It is historically ranked by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) as the best state-owned polytechnic in Nigeria. While Moor Plantation’s colleges are prestigious in their own right, they operate as specialized monotechnics. Poly Ibadan's larger scale translates to greater institutional influence and a heavily respected "academic brand" across the Nigerian job market.
💼 3. Superior Corporate and Industrial Network
Because Poly Ibadan trains middle-level manpower across engineering, business, and tech, it has established deep-rooted partnerships with major corporations, banks, tech firms, and manufacturing industries. Graduates benefit from a robust alumni network spanning multiple sectors. Moor Plantation graduates, on the other hand, are primarily plugged into agricultural networks, research institutes, and agribusinesses.
🎭 4. Vibrant Campus Life and Social Exposure
The student experience at Poly Ibadan is far more dynamic and diverse. With a significantly higher student population drawn from all walks of life, campus life provides immense opportunities for networking, politics, creative arts, and entrepreneurship. Moor Plantation colleges have much smaller, close-knit campus communities, which lacks the intense social exposure and diverse extracurricular environment that shapes street-smart graduates at Poly Ibadan
Power banks you can buy online are weak. You can build your own Type-C 100W power bank so easily its almost funny.
Here is one I've built with my friend, it has 16 18650 cells that are connected as 4s 4p. It has 200Wh of capacity, can charge up your phone like 10 times ++

My brother called me a month ago and told me he had built an event gate pass system.
Today, he just completed his first event with it, and I went out to support him.

In 2019, all my friends japa’d.
UK, Canada, Germany.
My group chat became timezone math.
They said: “Girl, you’re wasting here.”
I stayed.
A thread on why they work for me now:
Lagos was hard. I sold thrift jeans in Yaba. ₦1500 profit per pair if I was lucky.
NEPA took light. Police took bribes.
My Canada friend: “Girl just leave this country.” I couldn’t. Dad was sick. Someone had to stay.
2021, I noticed something.
All my japa friends wanted Nigerian food.
Kilos of garri, crayfish, dry fish in every cargo box.
Shipping was ₦8k/kg. Slow. Stressful.
I thought: “What if I sell them Nigeria… from Nigeria?”
I started with ₦40k. Packed small food boxes.
Elubo, ogbono, suya spice, kilishi. Posted in their UK WhatsApp groups: “Miss home? I go ship am.”
First month: 12 orders.
Second month: 80.
By month 6, DHL gave me a corporate account.
Today we ship 3 tons of “home” monthly.
UK, US, Canada, Ireland.
My warehouse is in Egbeda.
My 4 biggest customers?
The same friends who begged me to japa.
One is now my Head of UK Ops. He japa’d… to work for me.
They left to find greener pasture. I watered mine.
Japa isn’t the only win.
Sometimes the real flex is staying and building the road others drive on.
I’m not anti-japa. I’m pro-options.
If you’re abroad: respect. The hustle is real.
If you’re here: look around. Your “problem” might be someone else’s ₦10M business.
What’s one “Nigerian problem” you can sell to the world?
@ebukagaus Fedora is too good, Gnome is perfect.
I have a corei5 3rd gen pc, I installed fedora and it was crashing, installed mint and changed the desktop environment to Gnome, it's been mind blowing.
My window WiFi disappeared again!!!
When does it end!! @Windows!!!
I got this laptop for 700+ dollars for fucks sake and it’s not even upto 2 years, just past a year!
while everyone is outside enjoying Eid 😭💔
I woke up debugging one of the most annoying bugs I’ve faced in PaperStack so far
PDFs were loading perfectly on my laptop and my iPhone 13, so I thought everything was stable
then I sent the app to more people…
and suddenly some phones (including my other iPhone) were only showing blank white rectangles instead of past questions 💀
the confusing part was:
it still worked perfectly on MY devices
so at first I thought maybe:
-Firebase
-caching
- Vercel
- network
- corrupted PDFs
until I finally tested on an older iPhone and saw the actual error:
“Promise.withResolvers is not a function”
turns out the problem wasn’t the PDFs
it was browser compatibility 😭
the modern pdf.js build I was using depends on newer JavaScript features older iPhones don’t support yet
and because Chrome on iPhone still uses Apple WebKit underneath, both Safari and Chrome failed the same way
the fix ended up being switching PaperStack from the modern pdf.js build to the legacy browser build instead
wildest part is…
this bug stayed hidden because everything worked perfectly on my own devices 😭
lowkey reminded me that testing only on “my laptop and my phone” is one of the easiest ways to fool yourself as a developer 💀
anyway… Eid Mubarak guysss 🤝😭

@deriqblaq You should have set a limit to the number of devices.
That was the first thing I did when I got my router. If the data get exhausted , no one will see as if they see the network.
