This hilarious wedding of Mama G and Osuofia will cra-ck your ribs.

Very Interesting.

My God-Fathers are the people - Hon. Simisola

This morning, Hon. Simisola Fajemirokun-Ajayi was featured on News Central's Breakfast Central, speaking on people-powered politics and democratic participation in Nigeria.

From the grassroots to the polling units, she emphasised the importance of political inclusion and why the voices of ordinary party members must always matter more than imposition.

For now we only do round neck t-shirts. It plays to our strengths where efficiency makes you win/lose. We are good at that. Also it’s relatively easy and there is enough demand for it that we don’t have so do a ton of marketing to sell products. Another, and the most important, is that we have the entire supply chain here — in Nigeria and regionally. So we can scale from 1000 shirts to 500,000 shirts relatively easily without having to depend on massive imports. So that’s why we are focused on only round necks.

Another goods news is that the same fabrics used for t-shirts can be used for singlets, underwear, polo shirts. So one can easily expand into other categories without textile/fabric constraints.

[Chekwas Okafor @ChekwasOkafor]

This is actually a very good question. When Dangote tried to got into the textile industry, things were a bit different. The biggest being that Nigeria mostly wore woven fabric (Ankara, shirting etc). Operating a woven factory is very complex and even at that time, a lot of the machinery that already being used were a bit outdated, so efficiency had dropped.

In our case now, most people are wearing knitwear (t-shirts, underwear, polos etc.), and producing textile for these isn’t as complex and can be modular. Example our textile mill makes 20-40 tons per month (enough for just 100-200,000 tshirts) which isn’t a lot but gives us enough flexibility to adapt to market forces. Also the available machines now are of similar quality with what’s being used everywhere else in the world, so efficiency is about the same.

Put all these together and having a great team (I’m incredibly lucky), operating efficiently, having a large Nigeria and West African population, we have a higher chance of success now. We’ve also been around since 2019 and we’ve been going stronger and stronger.

@TechnicalBben This is exactly why we're building Alpha @getalphahq. A simple tool that helps small businesses track their customers, follow up automatically, and stop losing people they already paid to acquire. We are opening for early access soon.

@Sports_Doctor2 Rosenior was doing a "Ruben Amorim". Chelsea should have allowed him to finish the season and then relegate them to championship them next season

[Dimgba @dkdimgba]

@asemota @ManUtd That guy's hair became a distraction. Love it that it has gone under the radar. The club needs to focus on winning five straight games, consolidate in 3rd place and qualify for the champions league

Wait! Welbeck just did the "SUI" celebration after scoring against Chelsea

This is South East Educators Conference Day 1 we just concluded. Watch and you will love it.

Listen carefully. We are no more complaining.

We are stepping up to lead the South East to the promise land.

In 10 years we will lead Africa to greatness.

@habibthadev Hello Habibi, this is beautiful, especially the detailed response from the backend.

Quick question: How do you handle "network" for numbers that are ported to another network.

Cheers

[Habib @habibthadev]

I just shipped phoneng.

Zero-dependency TypeScript library for parsing, validating, normalizing, and formatting Nigerian phone numbers.

- E.164 formatting
- network detection using ncc prefix.
- batch processing for multiple numbers.
- <1KB gzipped/brotlied.

Someone offered to build me a website today. This is after I have been publicly fawning over Lovable, Replit, and Gemini for months and showing the sites I built. This is the state of tech marketing in Africa. Random. Untargeted. Completely blind.

I keep getting sales emails from companies that know nothing about me. The targeting is not just flawed. It is structurally broken. Everyone is working with demographic proxies - age, location, device type -because the real signal data is locked away somewhere nobody can reach.

A cousin selling bedsheets and household items spends tens of thousands on online ads. He once told me that he gets more conversions from LinkedIn than anywhere else combined. It took me a second, and then it made complete sense. LinkedIn is essentially a verified directory of income and employment. The targeting works because there is a real proxy for purchasing power. That proxy barely exists anywhere else in African digital marketing.

This morning on a walk, I remembered something Ebun, formerly of Bento, once said. "Earnings are the OS of all commerce."

That sentence cracked something open for me.

PiggyVest knows your savings behavior and risk tolerance. Opay and Moniepoint know your cash flow velocity, merchant spending patterns, and income regularity. That is not demographic data. That is behavioral financial identity. It tells you who can actually buy something, not just who fits a broad profile.

The best targeting data for new startups is sitting inside existing startups and maybe the banks. Now that fintechs like Flutterwave are becoming banks, maybe this will make things more interesting.

So I asked myself: can this be made into a product? Consumers opt in to have their data shared with third parties. Those third parties share revenue from each resulting customer back to the company that provided the data. Clean room architecture. No raw data crossing boundaries. Direct benefit back to the user, so the consent is real, not a buried checkbox.

This is what OpenBanking did in the UK, except that regulation forced it there. Open banking is struggling to take hold in African countries, and deep structural barriers persist.

In Africa, getting startups to share customer data starts with two or three founders who trust each other enough to go first. The revenue share model gives them a business reason. Others follow when the conversion lift is visible, and the numbers speak for themselves.

Startups hide everything. I know. But founders respond to margins, not manifestos. There is a company to be built here. Not a data company. A trust infrastructure company. The hard part is not the technology. The hard part is the first room with the first three founders.

A now-defunct South African company called TrustFabric once tried to do this or something similar, but they were too early. I think the time is now right. This is what will save African digital marketing. A product like this can be built in one weekend. This is now officially a challenge.

“This boy’s name is Ugochukwu.
He’s just 13 years old.
He walked into our new office today to brand his apron.

When he came in, he greeted everybody and asked if we brand cloths. I nodded in agreement, looking at him.

Then he brought out apron.
“ Brother, I want to write ‘Business Boy’ on this apron”, he said, looking at me.

“ Who is the business boy?” I asked.

“Is me! I hawk pap in the street. People know me as business boy. I want to write it on my apron. How much ? “

I was very happy seeing someone at his age creating such unique way of marketing himself. I asked him to take a sit and engaged him in a cool business talk. He revealed that he loves business, he enjoys selling goods and making money. He wants to be a businessman in future. I gave him the advice I could at the moment .

I really love that boy❤️

We kept talking until my worker was done with his apron branding . He was so happy when I gave it to him.

“Brother how much, ego ole?”

“ Don’t worry, Ugo. Don’t pay! It is our little way of showing support to your business and what you said you’ll be in future. We’re proud of you. Jisie Ike!” I said to him.

Ugo was very happy and fulfilled.

“ I wanted to do this 2 years ago, but my mother said the amount for cloth branding is too expensive, so I stopped, but still had it in mind. Just today today I broke my saving-box and decided to come.”

“We’re happy to do it for you without you paying. We like what you’re doing.”

I saw how happy he was while leaving the office, and I was happy too for encouraging him to be better.

May he prosper in all he does 🙏
