Ghana lost 4-2 and the timeline was unusually quiet. I wondered why our Nigerian brothers weren’t bantering us, so I checked their score… 3-0 down. 😭😂
Now I understand. There’s a reason we’re not bantering each other. 😂
Enugu is no longer just a place where products are bought and consumed. We are building a state where high-tech products are made, assembled and exported from.
The Haitech Haier Global factory is one of the most significant business investments our state has hosted, bringing the production and assembly of technology, electronics and energy products to Enugu.
Beyond the factory floor, this investment is creating direct and indirect jobs, providing technical training for our young people and expanding the productive capacity of our state.
Our commitment to creating a conducive and attractive operating environment for businesses remains a pillar of our job creation drive. When businesses invest and grow in Enugu, opportunities grow for our people.

You want a sovereign country to import health and food products without verification and you want to take the citizens' health records for about $100m. I think the guys on the other side may have been highly overrated.
One of Nigeria's biggest manufacturing gaps is that we don't produce enough of the equipment and tooling that our manufacturers need to build their products locally.
After extensive research, i found that there is limited evidence of established Nigerian OEMs that produce or-
The funniest thing happened tonight.
I entered a ‘korope’ going to Lekki 1 but the passengers looked sus to me, so I sat at the edge, by the door like the conductor 😭
Then the driver stopped at a bustop to pick another suspicious looking young man, so I hopped out for the young man to get in…
Now, the young man is looking at me while looking at the other sus passengers, said “una be thief”, and ran off 😂
i spent all my free time over the last two years building ALATURKA from scratch, entirely on livestreams with a $0 budget.
it is basically a PS2-era 70s Istanbul GTA with heavy driving physics and döner kebab deliveries.
here is the new official trailer. RTs appreciated.
Kano casually fills stadium for NPFL games without anyone posting about it on social media (except journalists, occasionally).
Organic "anything" is always on another level.
Good News: PISA Assessment Will Be Coming to the South East Soon
After I wrote about my desire for the South East to participate in the PISA assessment, I received a message from Raj.
He flew in from the United States, and we met in Toronto to discuss extensively how the assessment could be conducted across the region.
This assessment is very important to me because if the South East performs strongly on the global stage, it could significantly boost the region’s international reputation and help demonstrate the quality of talent we are developing. This could strengthen our case for attracting world-class companies such as Apple, Texas Instruments, NVIDIA, Tesla, and others to invest in the region.
We are deliberately nurturing a large pool of exceptional talent, and the world needs to see what is happening here.
In 10 years, our ambition is for the South East to become a major source of talent for the global workforce.
And we are very serious about it.
Bokku in Nigeria reminds me of Aldi. People didn't take them seriously at first, but I saw the trend in Manchester; then I saw it again in America. No frills, low price, good quality. Now, they are a behemoth.
I think Nigeria needed this first, not e-commerce. I recall discussing "StreetCommerce" here just last week. I now understand why Melcom is growing aggressively in Ghana with Melcom Minis. If Bokku comes to Ghana, Melcom and others are in trouble. We need this here too.

Amazing young people, thank you to everyone who sent a CV to explore opportunities at Contisx. As promised, we will launch our comprehensive careers page as soon as the stock exchange begins operations. We are now at the finish line.
But you do not have to work directly for Contisx to participate in what we are building. Through our software development kits, APIs and other tools, developers and entrepreneurs will be able to build independent solutions on our infrastructure. We want you to create for the markets around you and prepare those markets for the future.
Beyond the Contisx Phone, we have the Contisx Blockchain Card and other solutions. The phone, card and the solutions provide a foundation for secure, affordable and scalable regional digital-asset infrastructure for emergent digital economy, well beyond what we have today. The card integrates seamlessly with the Contisx Phone, enabling businesses and people to manage essential commercial services through a unified platform while eliminating most costs we see in the digital rails.
Imagine paying for things without those expensive transaction fees. I am sure you will want your customers to save money! And ContiSX Blockchain Card will be amazing for them; we will launch it once our exchange begins.
Young People, we are here to support. Visit https://t.co/fwxYeVmPoQ and see what excites you. Together, we can accomplish remarkable things across Nigeria and Africa.
