Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.

Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.

No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.

After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.
Know your postcode: https://t.co/91HP6bVST3

Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map.

My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister @bosuntijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible.

Thank you to the NIPOST @nipostngn family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.

Humans do not exist solely to produce economic value.

Spaghetti in 2021 was N2,400 for a pack. Today it's N23,500.

Just so that you get the clear picture of the inflation rate.

At c.N3.5trn, Nigeria’s annual post-harvest losses are over 9 times higher than Agric budget for 2024.

Our first insight was at Benue State, where a staff of the Agric Ministry said:"If you go to my Local Goverment, you will begin to Cry."

So, we drove to the Local Government.

If you're interested in digital music production, here's a fun advanced course for you.

Tristan teaches you how to use FL Studio to compose, record, edit, and mix music.

He'll teach you about sound design principles, using plugins, & loving the process.

The fact that VSCode began as a web app, then became a desktop app, then became a web app again and then even got remote (ssh) functionality is a testament of how adaptive the codebase is.

It's adaptive because they use dependency injection really well. You can replace, mix & match any part of VSCode, while keeping the main functionality (https://t.co/wv2nN36fAA is a testament to this).

That was also why it was so easy to integrate VSCode with CodeSandbox and make it work in the browser. You can replace services like the FileService one by one with browser compatible versions.

I'm also impressed with its performance. They're doing everything imperatively, which is a pain, but it does make it easier to ensure that you never do more DOM operations than you should. Because imperative UI is a pain, they've created a lot of primitives like virtualized lists, quickinput, etc with a good API to easily compose UIs

Finally, the editor feels fast even with many extensions, because they run extensions in a separate thread. How does UI work then? The extension tells VSCode over the wire using the same primitives how UI should look, and VSCode renders those elements in a performant, consistent and accessible way.

This is why Atom started to feel slower than VSCode after a while. It was not Atom that was slowing down, it was the extensions taking CPU from the main thread.

I just wrote an open letter to the Governor on Public Procurement awards reported by LASG for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023, highlighting a number of issues for further scrutiny and remedial action. Judicious use of public funds is always important, and is especially so now.

As a startup founder, you may be tempted to offer big discounts to attract new customers. You want to be like Jumia. Discounts can easily eat into your profits if not used carefully. I wished I understood this clearly when I started out.

I hate how much I love Nigeria. Every single dream I have for the future is rooted in Nigeria.

When I’m 70, my greatest hope is that Nigeria fulfilled her potential as a nation my children will be proud of, and I did my part to make that happen.

Happy Independence Day Nigeria.
