This a a scandal of such gagatuan scale that I am dumb founded.

@toluogunlesi @fkeyamo @officialABAT have you lot seen this?

-

I pray this lad in the quest to being attention to this doesn't omit a degree of the senator, so the 'neutrals' don't come out to declare "you know what you are doing".

In 1852 aluminium cost twice as much as gold.
Then the price fell over 99.9%. Yet it built one of the largest materials markets on earth.

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

As we continue to focus on Founders, Apps, and Tokens at @SuperteamNG, it's clear that founders need simple guidelines to ensure they are building Internet-market-ready apps.

I shared some insights on this in my talk at SOLANA APEX CAPETOWN 2025.

My dad had a similar experience. He owned three FMCG stores in Yaba, Tejuosho to be precise. After the war he didn't even come back to Lagos immediately because he felt he might not be welcome.

Instead he moved to PH then to Sapele and started doing imports of sewing machines (many Igbo people started itinerant sewing which led them to Okrika).

He couldn't crack the business however so his friend who had moved to Cotonou asked him to come join him. On his way there he passed through Lagos and decided to stop by his former area (two full years after the war ended) and found out that his long term neighbor a Yoruba man had kept his 3 shops running, restocking it and keeping all the records.

When he saw my dad he told him he'd been looking for a way to reach him since the war ended, even sending messages but post war craziness meant no way to find him. He totaled the money he'd managed plus the cost of buying the stores and everything added up to £9,000.

That's what my dad took plus the £6,000 he made from selling off his old business and started doing shoe and textile imports in Lome from 1973 onwards.

Many such cases.

📍Solana After Hours: A curated evening for fintech leaders and capital allocators shaping and exploring the future of financial infrastructure and what it takes to move value at scale in emerging markets.

If you’re building, integrating, or deploying capital into the future of finance, this is the room you want to be in.

At Ramp we ship a new major feature every day - it's impossible for leaders stay up to speed.

To keep a high bar without slowing folks down, teams can ship to early access tier whenever they want but need review for general release.

Crazy fact: 10% of customers opt into early access because they can't get enough. That's 5000+ businesses. Plenty to work with.

To release to general public, teams need to prove this product works and get sign off for heads of eng, product and design. Here is our template:

1. What did we build and why
2. What's the demo in < 3mn (loom)
3. Did we meet our goals in early access (hex dash)
4. Are customers raving about this (LLM on Zendesk tickets, Sprig surveys, and Gong transcripts)
5. Will customers easily discover and start using it (first time user journey)
6. Is sales ready to sell, AM ready to activate, and support ready to troubleshoot
7. Do we have a clear rollout plan (launch tier, pricing, coms)

This helps us document decisions, serves as a strong checklist, and feeds our release notes. Most importantly, it keeps the bar high (we expect at least 1 rev of feedback).

The best part: most of this template is automated using AI connected to the rest of our business sytems.

Leadership has 48h to review or it ships.

We think it's a great way to balance speed & empowerment with process and quality.

Being locked in doesn't guarantee success

It just increases the odds

As we push on our mission to become the “talent layer for solana” we are making more far-reaching efforts to leave no youth behind. If you have skills and talent, we want to help you win.

We are happy to be aligned with the Minister on this and his result-oriented nature makes this a massive step towards achieving the KPIs. Results coming soon.

As a follow-up to my engagements during my last official visit to the United Arab Emirates, I had the distinct honour of receiving the Nigerian team of Solana Superteam to finalise discussions on some of our shared commitments, particularly those bothering on skill development, remote work and other earnings opportunities for Nigerian youth.

GPT-5 just casually did new mathematics.

Sebastien Bubeck gave it an open problem from convex optimization, something humans had only partially solved. GPT-5-Pro sat down, reasoned for 17 minutes, and produced a correct proof improving the known bound from 1/L all the way to 1.5/L.

This wasn’t in the paper. It wasn’t online. It wasn’t memorized. It was new math. Verified by Bubeck himself.

Humans later closed the gap at 1.75/L, but GPT-5 independently advanced the frontier.
A machine just contributed original research-level mathematics.

If you’re not completely stunned by this, you’re not paying attention.

We’ve officially entered the era where AI isn’t just learning math, it’s creating it. @sama @OpenAI @kevinweil @gdb @markchen90

The reason people respond overwhelmingly positively to me isn't because I'm "cracked" at electronics

It's because I have the courage to be an amateur again, instead of continuing to rot in an ivory tower of status

100%. A few morally ambitious and stubborn people can and will cause noticeable change.

[Onye Nkuzi @cchukudebelu]

Change is often driven by a few determined individuals.

Please listen.
