For years, I have been fascinated by how little most people, even Africans, know about the continent’s pre-colonial past. Our history is often told in fragments. Usually, you have a few names, a few dates, and then a long silence until colonisation begins.

Beyond the Boom: How Nigeria Can Convert $10 Billion of ‘Hot Money’ Into Lasting Wealth - OpEd

Nigeria's $10.37 billion capital inflow in Q1 2026 is a powerful vote of confidence in the country's reform agenda, but is it sustainable? In this thought-provoking analysis, Tosin Adeoti (@Thowsyne) argues that beneath the headline figures lies a critical vulnerability: over 95% of inflows are foreign portfolio investments (FPIs), commonly known as "hot money,” that can exit as quickly as they arrive.

Drawing lessons from Egypt's recent economic experience, the article warns that financial liquidity alone cannot guarantee long-term prosperity. Instead, Nigeria must seize this moment to convert short-term capital flows into lasting productive investments through infrastructure, manufacturing, digital innovation, energy reform, and regulatory certainty.

How did Patrick McGee miss a single mention of John Ternus in his book?

I still think you are Satoshi. John's arguments appear more coherent than yours.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

This is false. West Africa has been inhabited by humans for an extremely long time. At least over 150k years ago. In fact, humans evolved in Africa and have lived in many African environments, including forests, savannahs, deserts, and coasts.

[Mark Essien @markessien]

People are not really aware - but West Africa is NOT a natural habitat of human beings. It is extremely unfriendly to human habitation, and was only inhabited relatively recently. Humans are forest edge animals, we do not naturally live in the forest. That's why we always clear the forest and try to recreate our natural habitat.

This in itself is the deep indictment of Nigerian leadership. The best of us is a terrible example in the eyes of LKY.

[tyro @DoubleEph]

There is a deep irony here - LKY was right about what he saw in Nigeria but he picked the wrong example. Festus Okotie-Eboh’s reputation has suffered so much damage partly because of his flamboyance, partly because of LKY’s comments.

In reality he was an incredibly hardworking and intelligent minister. He was far above his contemporaries in ability and he absolutely got stuff done.

Ok, he did collect 10%, but by today’s standards and everything that has come after him, that’s a bargain!

Globally, a large share of abortions are actually among married women.

Maybe unrelated. I REMEMBER as a teenager finding K. A. Stroud's engineering maths much easier to digest than Godman.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

Look at the 3 boys from Evergreen school Enugu that topped the Junior Category in South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale.

They have finished engineering maths back to back, finished lacombe back to back, also finished German maths syllabus.

They fear nothing in mathematics.

Maestro @nntaleb, thank you for always standing up with principle against these people.

Didn't expect to find your name in any of the DOJ Epstein files. Of course, you were in the "DECLINED" list to the whatever meeting Epstein took part of.

They probably just didn't rate the bronze medals. If they had gone on to the final, would they have gone to their clubs?

[Osasu Obayiuwana @osasuo]

Everyone is asking why the @NGSuperEagles players did not receive their #AFCON2025 🥉 medals in #Maroc. Here is the answer from @thenff President @IbrahimMusaGus1, who just spoke to me a few minutes ago:

“The players could not wait to receive their medals on Sunday. Their clubs were already after them to come back after Saturday’s game. I have the medals in my possession. And this is the case for #Egypt too, not just us. Had the medal ceremony taken place on the day of the match, they would have had the medals,” Gusau said.

@Top10Nigeria_ No. Peter Obi. Looks like he's hinging his bets on his own first term performance.

['Tosin Adeoti @Thowsyne]

I like his style. He realizes he doesn't need Obi for a second term...

They are tired to do a job they are being paid for?

[Yinka Ogunnubi @yinkanubi]

They leave them because they are "tired". Most of them don't own the Koropes. They will just abandon it and appear next day driving another one.
- Arrest them? how many do you want to arrest? Max 24 hours they are out.
- Seize Drivers License? What drivers license. Most don't have.

Law enforcement is basically tired of them because they are irredeemable.
