Very excited that I’ll be spending the summer at EPFL doing research in Switzerland! Looking forward to all the amazing work I’ll do🤭

Angola we are coming

It was great to host the Angolan Ambassador to Nigeria, H.E. José Bamóquina, as we begin expanding Terra's systems to protect critical infrastructure in Southern Africa

Proud to announce my role as ambassador for the 2026 @OPay_NG National innovation challenge in partnership with Google.

We’re giving 18 million naira prizes and internship opportunities to undergraduates in Nigeria. Please apply here with your ideas and a team. Rooting for you

When I saw 2k, I thought it was 2k dollars😎. Indeed, most people don’t really prioritize money, but care so much about “value & impact to the society”

Some of our members were working on Indaba's pan-African communities reg; they sent me this draft for proofreading.

I blinked twice at "14 papers in Q1 2026." I thought, "No way!" But I counted them, & it was 14.

Quite humbling how productive our members are, and how modest too

That feeling when you finally discover where the Gold is….

All you need is immersion.
Immerse, immerse… go so deeeeep.
Pour in all you have. 😎😎

The open-source AI community just got a new home for their data workflows. 🤗

@huggingface is now available in Adaptive Data.

Pull datasets directly into a platform that evolves with the problems you're solving.

Who said it’s impossible to predict football? ⚽

I just did, using Machine Learning, and Data Science.

My favorite law in 48 laws of power still remains law 3. If you know you know.

@_inhuman44 I'll send you a link to fill the form.

[Offiong Bassey @OffiongBassi]

Pls help me repost. Someone in your network might be interested in contributing in dataset curation, data labeling, model training, empirical evaluations, and paper writing. We need more people on this work cuz it’s huge. Audio processing, speech synthesis, 20+ African languages.

@_inhuman44 Interesting. Do you have experience or perhaps, deep interest in audio processing and speech synthesis?

[Offiong Bassey @OffiongBassi]

In retrospect, it was the best decision I could have made.

[Offiong Bassey @OffiongBassi]

Last year, this was just an idea. I started small - MT (text-based). Then someone said: “Hahaha, MT is old stuff”. All I did was to smile. Most times, you need to act foolish to be wise.

If you’ve been waiting for a chance to contribute to something meaningful, this is it.

[Offiong Bassey @OffiongBassi]

We’re taking on something HUGE:
Speech tech for 20+ African languages. It’s not the traditional ASR and TTS.
