When you live and breathe Software as a Service (or SaaS), terms like ARR, MRR, LTV, and CAC just become part of your daily slang. Or Gross vs. Net MRR Churn, and how it is different from Customer Churn. It's just part of the SaaS life.

Just got a call Prof Okey Ndibe has been stopped by DSS from boarding a flight to the US

Okey, a globally respected intellectual is not a threat to Nigeria

The optics are not good for Nigeria on the day a new govt US is being inaugurated

Pls allow him return to his family!

Only 1% of published U.K. books have a black main character and only 3% show a diverse character. Representation matters; it’s important for children to see themselves reflected in what they read. The @kundakids series introduces kids to influential Africans in history.
