Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity

I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.

I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.

It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.

To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.

No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.

I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

The Btrust team is heading to Norway 🇳🇴

@ihate1999, @chuksagb, @_tvpeter, @sadeeq_ismaela and @Eunovo9 will be on ground at the 2026 @OsloFF happening from June 1-3.

They will be joining activists, technologists, innovators, and freedom advocates from around the world for important conversations around human rights, financial freedom, digital rights, and censorship-resistant technology.

We’re excited to connect with builders, thinkers, and fellow advocates exploring how technology can help protect and empower communities where it matters most.

If you’ll be attending #OsloFreedomForum, we’d love to connect.

[Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria @DeleFarotimi]

Wishing happy anything to Nigerians is an exercise in utter asininity, it demands that all parties suspend their capacity to connect cause and effect, and embrace the superstition of unearned rewards. Children remain captives. Happy Eid..🇳🇬🤮

[Btrust Builders @btrust_builders]

The Q1 2026 Btrust Builders pathway cohorts have officially wrapped, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone who showed up, put in the work, and came out the other side a stronger builder.

Across two pathways, developers from 24 countries spent between 7 and 8 weeks going deeper into Bitcoin’s technical foundations. They worked through Bitcoin's technical infrastructure, from transaction creation and node management to open-source workflows and protocol-level concepts, building the kind of foundational knowledge that turns genuine curiosity into meaningful contribution.

This cohort also made history: women represented 34% of the Mastering Bitcoin track, the highest we’ve seen so far. It’s a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to making Bitcoin development accessible, inclusive, and representative of the communities it’s meant to serve.

[Stephanie Titcombe @StephTitcombe]

A lot of my career has come from being willing to contribute early, learn in public, and stay in rooms that stretched me more than I felt prepared for. For me, this talk was really a reflection on growth, community, and what it really takes to build a path in technology and Bitcoin, especially as a young African navigating unconventional opportunities.

Grateful to the #Hack4Freedom team, @briimhd @ibrahim_sekinah for creating spaces like this for the next generation of builders 🙌🏼

According to the @StateDept, Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (@inecnigeria), though supported by the United States and the European Union (@EUCouncil), has the capacity to credibly manage federal elections. Yet #INEC has demonstrated serious weaknesses in safeguarding free, fair, and credible elections when confronted with deliberate efforts by #Nigerian political actors to manipulate and undermine the voting process. This was evident during the 2023 Nigerian elections, and current developments suggest the same pattern may be emerging again.

The U.S. House and Senate are currently on Easter recess, but we are actively echoing the State Department’s assessment to key members of Congress and intend to brief congressional leadership and senior members of the U.S. National Security Council early next week. Unlike the #Biden Administration, which took no meaningful action in 2023, it is not in President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump)’s nature to remain passive in the face of an election being openly undermined.

We will recommend to the Office of the President and Congress that Global Magnitsky sanctions (#GloMag) be imposed on any Nigerian politician or official of the @inecnigeria who engages in efforts to rig Nigeria's ongoing electoral process. These measures should include freezing all foreign assets, restricting access to the global financial system, and imposing travel bans on individuals and their immediate family members.

In 2027, will Nigerians choose Peter Obi – not as a messiah, but as a man whose public record speaks to restraint, accountability, and an almost unfashionable belief that public office is a place for service, not spectacle? https://t.co/Dwc9bFhIdi

[Btrust @btrustteam]

We’re excited to announce the Q1 Btrust Developer Grant recipients, our largest cohort to date.

Ten Bitcoin open-source developers have been awarded grants, including six starter grant recipients and four open-source cohort members, including two renewals and two promotions from starter to long-term grants.

This cohort also marks a couple of important firsts: support for Cashu development and the introduction of a dedicated research role within the open-source cohort. This builds on our work across the stack, from core protocol development to wallets, privacy tools, and user-facing applications.

Learn more about Q1 recipients and what they’re working on here: https://t.co/Hi0IzPYn3G
