Shola Akinlade, co-founder of Paystack, gives a piece of advice to young entrepreneurs.
Focus: there are a lot of distractions out there
Courage: have the Courage to pick a problem bigger than you and be very Consistent
Clarity: you have different stakeholders. Have the clarity to pursue your own dreams.
Don't be focused on how to raise capital. Focus on how to build a great business and capital will find you.

If he manages to fool all the above, maybe we've got the most clueless and unintelligent people leading us.
There's no way to spin this and not make an absolute fool of yourself, it's embarrassing to even say he did this unchallenged. #GbajaGate
You cannot transform what you cannot measure.
Today, Nigeria took a historic step towards building a smarter, more transparent and accountable education system with the unveiling of the Digital National Education Management Information System (DNEMIS) and the launch of the DNEMIS Portal.
For the first time, Nigeria has a clear, unified and trusted picture of foundational education—from pre-primary through Junior Secondary School. This gives us the data we need to plan better, invest smarter and improve learning outcomes for every child.
DNEMIS is the first major building block of the National Education Data Infrastructure (NEDI)—our vision for one integrated education ecosystem and one source of truth for education. As NEDI continues to grow, it will connect data across every level of our education system, transforming how we plan, govern and deliver education nationwide.
My sincere appreciation goes to UNICEF, the University of Oslo, the DHIS2 team, and all our development partners whose collaboration and commitment made this milestone possible.
The data is now in your hands. Explore the DNEMIS Portal, generate insights, ask informed questions and help drive better education outcomes across Nigeria.

Today, we have not simply launched a platform—we have laid the foundation for the future of education in Nigeria.
One Ecosystem. One Source of Truth for Education. 🇳🇬

BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.
I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.
How State Police Bill Is Designed to Prevent Governors’ Abuse of Power
For many Nigerians, this has always been the biggest concern about State Police.
What safeguards are actually in the bill?
I break down the oversight mechanisms, intervention powers, and protections designed to prevent abuse.
Do you think they are enough?
I don't mean to be rude but I really hate how simple we are as a people. It's like we are allergic to grappling with complexity. Is it malnutrition?
Even if we find our Lee Kwan Yew, are these the intellectuals that are supposed to help him transform Nigeria?
BREAKING: Retired U.S. generals, admirals, intelligence officials, diplomats, and former government officials who advise policymakers on the Middle East met with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.
Oh my god. What. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Keir Starmer's successor, whoever that will be, will fail just like he did.
The United Kingdom is ungovernable at this point because the elected government no longer controls the state apparatus. The unholy blob that Tony Blair constructed runs everything, and they answer to no one. Starmer himself literally said that he pulls a lever and nothing happens. His replacement will find those levers still do nothing.
Without a massive purge of the NGOs, the Quangos, the courts, the civil service, and the administrative state, changing Prime Ministers will do about as much good as swapping out a kid's steering-wheel toy in a car that's hurdling off a cliff.
