"Dr. Gladys B. West played an integral role in the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) while serving as a mathematician with Navy. Born in the poor farming community of Sutherland, Virginia, she rose from poverty despite segregation, The Great Depression, and Jim Crow laws, to become one of the first professional black women hired at the Dahlgren (Va.) Naval Proving Grounds (now Dahlgren Surface Naval Warfare Center)"
She was a woman, a "black" woman
She was a wife
She was a mother
And yet she was a mathematician who made a great impact.
You see... You really have no excuse not to be successful. It's all about your choices and decisions.
Adieu Doyenne ❤️
Emeka Ike hails from one of Peter Gregory Obi’s strongholds. He was singled out for slaughter; to make an example of. How did Lere Olayinka gain access to Emeka’s classified information?
How was he able to access the database?
Opposition must demand an immediate forensic examination of INEC’s database.
Lere Olayinka has access to INEC’s backend.
It only means that the Commission has been totally compromised. The rot is deeper than we thought. You will get to your polling unit—only to discover that the BVAS machine cannot read your card. You will discover that INEC & agents of the ruling party (have searched out your name, & deleted your INFO from the system).
Agent provocateurs will transfer your PVC registration to a different polling unit or state. A place far away from where you are supposed to vote. Peter Obi should not take this lightly!
From what we witnessed at FCT local election, INEC transferred those who voted for Obi to distant locations, far away from where they were supposed to vote. People only got to find out on the day of that local council election.
On top of that, Wike declared a curfew. He prevented people from moving around. You will be surprised that voters in certain regions & places where Obi got high number of votes are being mass deleted from the database as I speak. That way, their PVCs cannot be read.
Peter Obi’s stronghold is being tampered with. This is no longer a scaremongering, it’s a FACT! This is disenfranchisement on a grand scale.
The above are some of the many ways that Nigerians are going to be disenfranchised—worse, restricted! The inmates have taken over the asylum. Mad men are running things now.
INEC will put the lives of NYSC officials in danger. A widespread disenfranchisement like that could lead to break down of law & order.
Time to fix this is now! Tomorrow might be late! If an APC urchin can have Admin access to INEC’s backbend, then nothing is impossible!
Opposition must leave nothing to chance. We must deal with this issue NOW! Current INEC must be disbanded! Joash Amupitan must go!
9 years ago, a lady told me to stop wasting my life on crypto and go get a real job.
I almost listened.
In 2017, talking about Bitcoin in Nigeria felt like shouting into a void. People laughed. Family worried. Friends changed the topic.
But a few of us kept showing up anyway — tiny meetups, campus talks, WhatsApp groups built one believer at a time.
Last week at the @LunoGlobal Traders Meetup, it hit me:
Nobody asks "What is Bitcoin?" anymore.
Now it's regulation. Compliance. Careers. Building. The future of Web3 in Africa.
That's a generation growing up.
And Luno? Still there. Still listening. 9 years later.
Platforms build products.
Communities build trust.
But the ones who stay when nobody's clapping earn something money can't buy — loyalty.
To the early believers — the doubted, the laughed at, the "go get a real job" crowd:
We didn't just watch an industry grow.
We grew with it. 🔁
