We make games that feel like home: our roads, our jokes, our people.
Danfo Run was the first.
@eurekastudioshq
When I started building Vene, it was just for my parents.
What started with my family quickly grew to 5,000. Now we’re rolling out to 50,000 more.
If you share our ambition to eliminate healthcare burden for every family, let’s connect!
Meet Opeyemi Adeniran (@eureka_seamless), the software engineer behind Lagos Run, now known as Danfo Run.
Opeyemi grew up in Ojuelegba, Lagos, and studied Computer Science at Yaba College of Technology.
He started his career at Exolve Technologies, where he also taught programming through Girl-Code Academy (@GirlCodeAcademy), before moving abroad and completing a master's degree in Data Science at the University of Essex (@Uni_of_Essex).
His latest project, Danfo Run (@danforun) at Eureka Gaming Studios, is a browser-based game that puts players behind the wheel of a yellow Lagos danfo, picking up passengers, navigating traffic, and experiencing the familiar chaos of Lagos roads.
What I find particularly interesting is why he built it. Having spent years away from Lagos, Opeyemi wanted to reconnect with home through something creative. He spent time recreating the environment, sounds, and familiar details that make Lagos feel like Lagos.
He wasn't even planning a major launch. After showing the game to a friend who encouraged him to share it online, thousands of people began playing and sharing their experiences. And when other developers started building similar games, he welcomed it rather than seeing them as competitors.
What I admire most about his journey is how he turned something deeply personal into an experience thousands of people could relate to. It's a reminder that some of our best ideas can come from the places we've lived, the memories we carry, and the everyday experiences we sometimes overlook.
Opeyemi's story shows how personal experiences, cultural identity, and software engineering can come together to create something people genuinely connect with. His work is also encouraging more developers to explore games inspired by everyday African experiences.
Opeyemi is definitely a builder worth following.

Today, I'm launching Vene: your AI advocate for healthcare.
I used to spend a dozen hours a week managing care for my dad, a disabled veteran, and my mom, who has a severe autoimmune disease. Healthcare was a full-time job for my family.
Our goal is to end the burden of care for every family:
When you're sick, or caring for someone who is, the hard part is everything after the hospital: the referral that never arrives, the test result nobody calls about, the bill that makes no sense, and everything in between.
For my dad, he spent hours on the phone to book an MRI. When he showed up, they told him to his face that insurance had stopped covering it. Then insurance told him to call a list of other offices and get the paperwork sent over himself, and he ended up giving up.
That’s why we’ve trained Vene to handle the toughest aspects of healthcare:
- Coordinating several specialists at once
- Challenging surprise bills and treatment denials
- Catching missed follow-ups and care gaps
My mom uses Vene to coordinate her primary care and endocrinologist, automatically refill and renew her prescriptions, and manage my little sister’s dental appointments.
They were my first users, and now over 5,000 families use Vene, and we're deploying it to another 50,000 patients across provider networks in the US.
hi @TechProd_Arch,
i’m building @pxxl_space , and we’re building the next leading cloud infra.
we currently have about 8k projects running live on our infra with users across 180+ countries.
would be great to raise our first funding rounds from you.
thank you.
Sometimes, people see you starting over and have no idea how much it took for you to get there.
I once owned a salon that I worked so hard to build. When my landlord started making things difficult for me, I decided to move to another shop at Spintex.
After a painful breakup, I wanted a way out of the pain, and the opportunity to travel out of the country for a job seemed like the fresh start I needed. I sold most of my salon equipment to fund the trip, even though my consultant advised me to keep them in case things didn’t work out.
Unfortunately, the job turned out to be a scam. Everything I had hoped for fell apart, and I had to find a way to survive and eventually return to Ghana.
Coming back wasn’t easy either. My former clients had moved on, and despite trying to reconnect with them, I struggled to rebuild what I had lost. I decided to upgrade my nail skills and try again.
When I returned abroad, hoping to find my feet, things still didn’t work out. I tried other business opportunities, including importation, but I was scammed again by a shipping agent. It took the intervention of the CID unit of the Ghana Police Service to help me retrieve part of my goods.
Today, after all the losses, disappointments, tears, and countless attempts to start over, I have finally secured a shop and made it beautiful enough to welcome clients again.
And guess what? I’m scared.
I’ve tried twice in Ghana and twice abroad. I’ve lost money, opportunities, clients, and parts of myself along the way. Now that I’m finally ready to reopen, I find myself crying and battling anxiety because I’m afraid of failing again.
But despite the fear, I still want to try.
I’m sharing this because sometimes, the people who look strong are fighting battles nobody knows about. Starting over isn’t easy, especially when you’ve been disappointed so many times.
Tomorrow, I’m choosing to try again. Not because I’m fearless, but because a part of me still believes things can work out.
Please say a prayer for me and my business. 🥹🙏🏽❤️
we’re trying again. One more time
Excited to welcome @Daya_HQ to the world of @danforun 💙
We’re bringing African tech and gaming together in a new way.
Something new is coming to the streets tomorrow. 👀🇳🇬
Stay tuned!

@PastorMarvy Nahh bruhh, have you seen nnamdi azikiwe stadium when Enugu rangers are playing??
They literally had a crisis where 35k people filled the stadium, mind you stadium capacity is 22k😂😂
Na just Lagos no rate their team
This is not to defend Nigerians, but Indians are more like us than people think.
As someone who is close to Indians here in Canada 🇨🇦 and has interacted with them closely, I’ve observed that just as we have Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, Indians have Gujarati, Punjabi and South Indians. And from these interactions, they don’t really gel the way people assume, especially when it comes to marriage and community.
Punjabis and Gujaratis are mostly Hindu and vegetarian, while many South Indians are Christian. Arranged marriage is still strong. Even in Canada, you generally can’t marry outside your group without parental consent. A Gujarati trying to marry a South Indian is usually rejected by the family.
The idea that Indians “mix well” is overstated. They may speak similar languages, but their religions and cultures differ. For example, Garba dance or gods are celebrated by mostly Gujaratis, but not by Punjabis or most South Indians.
What they have over us is numbers and the ability to prioritise multi-generational family living. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, husband and wife can still live under the same roof in Canada, and it works for them.
But unity across tribes or different families is not better than ours. We’re practically the same in that regard.
I’ve been seeing these narratives. Time to put an end to them.
Building a website with AI is becoming easy. Getting that website online and keeping it running is still a headache.
Abraham Ugbeshe and Muritala David built Brimble to make all of that stop being the problem.
Full story: https://t.co/oqcjGMH2Rf
Building Brimble is the hardest thing i've done in my life and to be honest I am kind of suprised to see it's still standing, it's so crazy because we don't support local builders enough and if it's in S.F it's the other way round
1) You get constantly compared to vercel/railway and it's sad because if you want to get people in this space to use it to you need to ship features to the quality they have already set (either same quality or you go higher)
2) After shipping almost the same quality, local users here still force you to make decisions by cutting cost of your product, just because you want them to use it and at the end of the day, you still get compared and you even have no choice.
3) I and abraham have been constantly bootstrapping the product for the last 4 years, so we only scale on demand. We don't have the luxury to throw money into compute unncessarily.
4) There were different iterations of the product just to get PMF, the directions changed about 2-3 times between the years.
5) oh fine, "enterprise" has the money. But at the same time, you need a good amount of money to get the licenses to support enterprise and at the same time, some enterprise will look down on you especially when it's just 2 engineers managing the product, ever since we got the idea in 2022.
You do performance and security audits yourself, you need to be extremely stable (just with a team of 2 and after all that, you still get compared. It's very much fine, but nobody gives a damn)
6) Brimble literally has everything (databases, sandboxes, fullstack deployments, autoscaling, static outbound ips e.t.c). Strived to succeed
7) You are also trying to pitch to investors, in a case where some of them don't have a clue or the nuances involved in what you are building. The best everyone has to do is support local products, supporting local products even gives you as a user a ton of advantage. You control the type of features you want, the prices is very affordable for you, you'd get the maximum support you need without having to send emails or wait for 3 business days to get feedbacks.
A few angels really believes in the vision and fingers crossed, really love it.
But at the end of the day, it still seems you aren't good enough for people to use you.
I'm extremely grateful for people that took all of these out of their mind to actually support us in terms of using the product end to end. Sharing reasonable feedbacks and also sticking around even when it had issues.
If i have the opportunity to do this again, i would peacefully decline.

He was 41 years old 🇳🇬 🕊️
Grew up and performed Fuji music before converting to Christianity.
His wife strongly supported his switch from Fuji to gospel ministry and he called her his backbone
He credited comedian Woli Arole with his big break in 2021 after Arole shared one of his songs online.
He said he had written more than 150 songs that were still unreleased 💔
He and his wife got married in 2021 and celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in September 2026.
They had two children, their second child (daughter Irorun) was born in October 2024.
He marked Irorun's second birthday on 8 October 2026, just six days before he died, writing "My joy is two years today"
In January 2025 he announced that he had become a homeowner.
In a 2025 interview he revealed that women (including older ones) had offered him millions of naira to date them, and that he always told his wife about such advances. 🤍
He and his band survived a serious accident in July 2026 when a fully loaded trailer nearly crushed their bus while returning from a ministration.
He was based in Ibadan and reportedly hailed from Osun State.
He led Toluwani Gospel Music Ministry (TOGOMM) and blended energetic Yoruba praise with contemporary gospel.
The night before he died he performed at Bidemi Olaoba's "In His Presence" worship programme in Ibadan.
His personal assistant said he showed no signs of illness and was perfectly fine before he suddenly slumped the next morning.
.
.
.
.
You see, while we mourn his death and feel the sting in our hearts, we shouldn't forget that if he were to be here with us, he would want us to sing and sing and sing praises, because he lived a life of divine impact through music and soulful worship.
I want you to take solace in his songs. To worship with him, as you listen to his songs.
So that your heart might be full and sadness won't have a place to dwell
.
.
.
Toluwanisings is gone physically. But his songs will live through time. And millions more of people will be soothed and healed by his songs.
His children will grow up to know that their daddy really did touch millions of lives and brought thousands more to the peace and calm that true worship gives.
Grief is something that no one prepares for, but that which we can take solace in, especially knowing the impact that the person has had in our lives.
.
.
If you are reading this right now, and you are currently grieving someone, then I implore you to dwell in the memories of that person, not because you can't move on, but because of the closure that comes with knowing they have at certain points, made life meaningful and worthy to you.
.
.
Be glad that you knew of them and you can tell of their tales to younger generations coming in front.
At the end of it all, may we also be responsible for someone's hope, peace and smile. May we be the reason that they believe in hope and joy.
So that when we also leave this world, someone somewhere will think of us, and thank the day they ever knew us.
.
.
May the soul of Toluwanisings and the people we've lost, continue to rest in perfect peace.
.
.
7 hearts and Doves to honour our dear people that we've lost
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Thank you very much for reading and have a fulfilled life ahead 👋🏾

Over 4months ago, I got a call from Ekene, he was stuck in a deportation camp in India.
Life had hurt him so bad, in his desperation he reached out to me as many Nigerians do.
I quickly heard Ekene’s story and spent weeks doing the investigation. I started the advocacy through interviews with him and I called on NIDCOM to come to his rescue but I was shocked at the response.
After calling out NiDCOM for not reaching out to Ekene after sending his number to them.
The started spinning the story against Ekene to raise doubt and discredit my work with him.
They even released his personal expired travel documents because they were shocked that I called them out and they didnt want to accept responsibility.
I continued my work and i facilitated a new travel document for him and a good Nigerian helped in raising his flight ticket money.
Since I reported the matter, and after some email exchanges NiDCOM practically abandoned Ekene, as I hve not received any update from NIDCOM on Ekene.
I kept on pushing and I can confirm to you Ekene is back in Nigeria. I worked tirelessly to make this happen after those that ought to help failed. I will like to thank the Nigerian Embassy in india. I think government should help them, India is a big country and it’s difficult to reach Nigerians all over India.
Most Nigerians will never understand the personal sacrifices we made to make Ekene come back home.
I give glory to God, I am glad we can help Ekene, but there are over 100 more Nigerians in the deportation camp in India suffering and in some cases tortured
Can we all beg government and NIDCOM to do their job.
NIDCOM keeps claiming that they are facilitating with the embassy in India to get these Nigerians Amnesty but if they truly try they could get these people back home
Not all of them have issues with the authorities in India some just need money for flight and final clearance.
Let’s save this country and our fellow Nigerians
1. I will not apologise to you just because I want peace to reign when you are the one who wronged me. I’d rather lose the relationship. If you cannot hold yourself accountable, you are not the person for me.
2. I do not tolerate disrespect. Not even as a joke. Especially not as a joke.
3. If you have a problem with cooking for your partner, I’m not the person for you.
4. You don’t ever have to worry about cooking because it’s one of the things I genuinely enjoy doing. However, this doesn’t negate what I said in number three.
5. Unless you are deep into fitness like me and are posting your gains, you cannot be posting your bum on social media. I’m not a “mature” boyfriend.
6. My obligation is to treat you right and love you softly, genuinely, and intentionally. But if you cannot reciprocate that energy, I’ll leave you.
7. You cannot have a male bestie under my regime.
8. Dates are important to me. I will initiate, plan, and pay for most of them, but you must also initiate, plan, and pay for some dates. I’m a baby boy too.
9. If I tell you that something you did hurt me, don’t tell me it’s not that deep. I will not let you gaslight or manipulate me into questioning my feelings. Don’t dismiss my feelings, ever.
10. Cheating is a deal-breaker. I will not forgive you for it.
11. Access to phones is important to me. This doesn’t mean I’m interested in going through your phone, but if you suddenly start guarding it around me, I’ll assume you’re hiding something.
12. I don’t want to hear about what your ex did for you. If you keep bringing him or your exes up unnecessarily, I will leave you.
13. I like sex, and I’m considerate. I also understand that I don’t own your body. However, if my sexual needs are consistently neglected, I’ll leave you.
14. Even when you are angry, talk to me softly. We can disagree without being cruel to each other. Don’t raise your voice at me, talk to me like a decent adult.
15. If you need a break from the relationship, please don’t come back.
16. Don’t use a breakup as a threat, a weapon, or a joke whenever we have a minor misunderstanding. If you tell me you want to end the relationship, I will respect your decision, and there will be no coming back from it.
