SENATOR FRANCIS FADAHUNSI’S INCENDIARY RHETORIC AHEAD OF THE OSUN ELECTION
I wish to express my deep regret, and profound concern regarding the recent inflammatory comments and threat-laden rhetoric attributed to Senator Francis Fadahunsi in the lead-up to the Osun State election on Saturday.
As a high-ranking lawmaker representing the people in the National Assembly, Senator Fadahunsi carries a solemn constitutional and moral responsibility to promote peace, uphold democratic norms, and foster unity. It is therefore alarming and unacceptable that a distinguished senator would deploy intimidation, incendiary remarks, or political threats capable of heightening tensions, instilling fear in voters, and potentially inciting electoral violence in Osun State.
Elections are meant to be a celebration of democratic franchise - a peaceful exercise through which citizens freely choose their leaders without intimidation, harassment, or coercion. Resorting to threats of force or disruption undermines the integrity of our electoral process, disrespects the electorate, and threatens the fragile peace of the state.
I therefore respectfully demand that Senator Fadahunsi retract these harmful statements and tender an apology to the peaceful people of Osun State.
All political leaders, stakeholders, and party loyalists across party lines must exercise the utmost restraint, moderate their language, and recommit themselves to peace and democratic decorum.
The relevant security agencies must closely monitor inflammatory statements and ensure equal protection for all citizens, election officials, and voters before, during, and after the polls.
The democratic mandate belongs to the people, and no individual, regardless of status or political office, should attempt to subvert the will of the people through fear or coercion.
I urge the good people of Osun State to remain calm, peaceful, and resolute as they exercise their constitutional civic duty at the polls.
Getting elections right is a necessary step towards a New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
I knew this day would come.
Deciding to be childfree should always be a deep conviction. So that in twenty years time, when it’s no longer an option for you, and the guy you did no-kids with has a child with a younger woman, your conviction will still be as firm as ever, with no regrets.
The good thing about learning system design while building a product is you get to implement what you learned on a real product and you get to see how they work right away.

This Kuda's new rebrand is so unnecessary. Doing such a major overhaul to their branding, which millions of people are already accustomed to, doesn't make sense to me.
The previous one was working, so why change it?
To each their own, sha, but to me it just doesn't make sense
In the coming few years, most engineers will heavily rely on AI to build software. Loops will produce and review code, while engineers will be out of the loop, figuratively and literally.
The final product, which is supposed to be used by humans, is unrecognizable by the engineers who built it. Bugs and performance issues will arise, and the engineers will go back to the loops to fix them.
The loops will fix the bugs but produce more others. Eventually, we will reach a stage where we can’t possibly know what is wrong with the system, because the agent built its own framework, libraries and abstraction that only it understands.
The product will get into a state where no one can read or understand the code and only the loops can fix them.
Loops need tokens, and engineers will have no choice but to shovel them like coal into the Titanic’s boilers.
Very few engineers will be able to understand and troubleshoot systems. Those rare engineers who kept their skills sharp will be in high demand when we reach that state.
By all means use AI but not to an extent it dulls your critical thinking.
Founder's Reflection: What Losing Money on Marketing Taught Me About Building @kynettichq
Last month was a wild ride, and it taught me lessons I couldn’t have learned any other way.
As founders, we love to talk about the wins, the milestones, the growth, the upward curves. But the real education happens in the trenches of trial, error, and expensive mistakes.
At Kynettic, I spent heavily on marketing last month and got very little to show for it. I’ve always been a risk-taker who believes in testing hypotheses, but some of those experiments came with heavy tuition fees.
Here are three mistakes I made so you don't have to:
>> Don't pay for ads on platforms where you aren't native. If your brand has seemingly zero presence or organic activity on X (Twitter), paying an influencer there to drive conversions will likely net you absolute zero. I tested this theory three times. The result was identical every single time. Learnt that lesson the hard way.
>> Resist the rush to hire out of panic. Just because a seat is vacant and demands attention doesn't mean you need to hand it off immediately. As an early-stage startup founder, if you can still roll up your sleeves and handle it yourself, do it until you can't afford not to delegate.
>> Protect your capital like your life depends on it. Know the exact threshold of capital you can afford to risk each month, and do not cross that line by even a single dollar. Discipline beats bravado every time.
Now I finally understand why smart investors prefer backing founders who have already burned their own fingers figuring things out. Skin in the game changes your entire perspective.
Despite the painful marketing experiments, the engine kept running.
By the way, Kynettic officially crossed 100 million in trade volume! 🎊
We went live on April 11th, which means we hit this milestone in less than four months. While that is still light-years away from our ultimate potential, especially given that my personal OTC trading volume dwarfs that daily, it’s a massive testament to the team's resilience and the trust our users are starting to place in us.
Here’s to more building, more learning, and protecting every single dollar while we scale.
