What's actually flooding Lagos? Waste, rain, tidal pull, drainage blockage and wind. Toggle each one and watch the flood risk index climb in real time.

This is the negotiation the lagoon is having with the city right now.

I remember a story of Tayo Aderinokun, the late former MD of GTB, getting onto the elevator at Plural House and seeing a member of staff who'd lost a parent crying on the elevator. He changed course, escorted her to her car and calmed her down before she left. He then got her number from HR and called to check in with her. A few days later she received an alert of his contribution to her parent's funeral. He consistently maintained contact with her before he fell sick and later passed away.

Stop 👏🏾 staying 👏🏾 stuck 👏🏾 in 👏🏾 useless 👏🏾 jobs.

I’ve been there. Highly recommend finding a job you love doing or at least enjoy (maybe for the money🫢).

But it’s not always easy to, so let me share a no-fluff approach to doing that👇🏽

[Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD]

With a heart so full it aches, our kids depart Lagos Nigeria today with for America, where they’ll compete in Athens Georgia, New York City and Harvard University.

Typing these words fill my eyes with tears all over again because I know their stories.

Ferdinand- Differently abled child, living with cerebral palsy, used to be bullied by other children in his community , born to poor fisherman in the Largest floating slum in the world. But when he plays chess, the world standstill.

Mary- her family was almost killed by Boko Haram terrorists. Forgotten in an IDP camp in Northern Nigeria where dreams go to die. But hers didn’t.

Mabel-radiant and full of promise. Met her 7 years ago in the slums of Ikorodu with a sparkle in her eyes but no opportunity to go to school. Today a fierce chess queen with dreams to be a doctor.

Jamiu—Abandoned by father as a child, watched his mum die in my hands, Homeless. Yet undefeated and already one of the best chess players in the country for his age category.

They have braved all odds to be here today to represent children like them who have been told they were invincible.

To the kids: play with heart, walk with pride. Know that the dreams of many others fly with you today, not as a burden but as light.

You are becoming the kind of story the world cannot ignore.

We still need all the help and support we can get, so if you’re in Georgia, NYC or Boston, come support the kids as they show the world what they’re truly made of. I have also put up a Go fund me link in Bio for those who asked to donate.

Dates:
Athens Georgia (March 29th)
New York City (April 2nd)
Harvard University. (April 4th)

Please reach out to me or @chessinslums for full info and location.

Fly safe my champions. Uncle Tunde will see you soon❤️

Sights from NASA @SpaceApps Challenge 2024 in Lagos. Batch 2.

[NASA @NASA]

One step closer to flight!

Teams have successfully rolled out the core stage of the @NASA_SLS rocket for the #Artemis II mission. The core stage will travel 900 miles from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility to @NASAKennedy, where it will prepare for its next destination: the Moon!

[Space Bar Africa @SpaceBarAfrica]

Last Saturday at our rabbithole event, we learned about:
- NASA's technology shortfalls
- the upcoming @SpaceApps Challenge in Lagos,
- the upcoming @seraspaceage space mission that would be including a Nigerian
+ how you can be a part of all of these.

Since @NASRDA_Official announced its partnership w/ @seraspaceage to take a Nigerian to space, there’s been many questions and opinions. Join us 7pm Wednesday June 26 on a chat with Learn Space, the foundation that got SERA to make this happen! Set ⏰!

Kenya is a lot more "democratic" than Nigeria.

Nigerian MPs will NEVER do this.

Listen to this guys !! Just listen to this and see the kind of mess we’re in with this renewed hope😭. Really need to be watching this News central channel more !!

[Cleo Abram @cleoabram]

Why do scientists smash particles together in a massive underground tunnel?

And now, why do so many scientists say that what we really need to do is build... a BIGGER one?

For our new episode of Huge If True, we traveled to Switzerland to visit @CERN and explain the Large Hadron Collider. How particle smashing works, why we do it, and what might come next...

While good people sleep. A cabal is working behind the scenes to make themselves into gate keepers of an ecosystem they know very little about.

This is a shake down, an attempt to fleece tech workers in Nigeria.
