After reporting on assistive technology across Africa, 1 thing is clear:
Accessibility cannot be an afterthought.
When it's missing from the design process, millions of people are excluded from the society.
That's what #WorldATDay is about.

@AsakyGRN My niece got injured today, running from school because of this idiot. Lots of parents around here are saying they will not let their children go back to school for the rest of the week because of this woman
To be honest, you all don't hate APC like my father does.
Because of 2027 election, my Dad created a group chat for his fellow senior citizens and former colleagues
After adding everyone, he then dropped this message in the group
“If you will be voting for Tinubu next year, quietly leave the group and remember to delete my number too”
This is 2 months since the group was created, nobody has left😂.
Most of you have been brainwashed by the movies you watch and Hollywood. When captors threaten to kill hostages if force is used, you think it’s bluff? They released a video, threatening to take a life if brute force is used you think it's just for show?
They were never bigger than the Nigerian military in firepower, training, or numbers. What they’re bigger in is cruelty and the advantage of hiding among civilians. That’s what makes rescue ops complicated.
Anger is 100% valid. But y’all tweet ignorantly if you think brute force has zero consequences when real lives are the bargaining chip.
Today on the BRT lane, I deliberately missed my bus because I wanted to join the next bus.
Not because I don't like the current bus but cos something I like was entering the next bus.
There's this pretty girl I had spotted on the queue. Honestly she looked like an angel.
So I waited for the next bus as planned and this girl entered before me, I quickly joined after her and sat beside her.
I greeted her and she smiled while replying, we exchanged other pleasantries and got each other's name
Everything was going smoothly and she already gave me her number.
We really vibed well and was already teasing her about our future kids.
I don't know how devil pushed this girl to update her status beside me and I'm seeing "Peter Obi is coming"
I was wondering despite everything happening in this country; washing of toilets, carrying of 2 Face bags and pricing of groundnut, someone still chose to support an Agulu failure?
For the sake of my unborn kids, I deleted her number in her presence and activated Frank Edoho mode.
Peter Obi's supporters don't deserve any good thiiing in this liife including joy from relationship.
We move!
Unpopular opinion:
If Nigeria wasn't amalgamated,
The Southeast would be Singapore. The Southwest would be Ghana. The North would be… still figuring it out.
The real question isn't whether Nigeria should have been amalgamated. It's why 60+ years after independence, we're still blaming 1914 for 2024 problems.
Who's responsible now?
As we edge closer to the 2027 General Elections, expect this and many more from the stables of Mr Peter Obi and his street urchins. By the way, what's with this people as of today?.
If you attend many of these big churches in Lagos, be very careful what you consume from the pulpit this period, because I genuinely think a memo has been sent to many of them.
The patterns are becoming too loud to ignore.
Most of the topics, sermons, statements, and even program themes I’ve been seeing from some of these big churches are psychologically constructed to make Nigerians emotionally withdraw from voting and accepting change as impossible.
Some weeks ago, it was Pastor Adeboye telling people that the next president has already been chosen by God.
Now it is Matthew Ashimolowo saying Peter Obi is the best candidate, but he won’t win.
Then another popular Lagos church is running with a program theme talking about “Jesus being the best political cover.”
And there are many more subtle messages like that flying around.
This is becoming too coordinated to be random.
The timing.
The location.
The pastors involved.
The exact emotional direction of the messaging.
This is psychological manipulation, and many Nigerians are not catching it.
Because APC knows something very important.
They know they no longer have anything tangible to sell Nigerians again.
Fuel is expensive.
Food is expensive.
Electricity is expensive.
School fees are expensive.
Businesses are collapsing.
The naira has been battered.
People are suffering visibly.
So what do you do when performance can no longer convince the people?
You start targeting their psychology.
You start targeting hope.
You start targeting morale.
You start making people feel like resistance is pointless.
That is the new strategy.
And religion is one of the easiest vehicles to use because many Nigerians trust pastors more than they trust facts.
Notice the pattern carefully.
These pastors will subtly admit that Peter Obi or the Obi/Kwankwaso movement represents competence or better leadership, but immediately after saying that, they will emotionally conclude with:
“But he cannot win.”
“God has already chosen.”
“Jesus is the answer.”
“Focus on heaven.”
Do you people not see the psychological game being played there?
It is not direct support for APC.
It is emotional demobilization.
It is convincing Nigerians not to bother participating.
It is making people subconsciously feel their votes do not matter.
Because once people lose hope psychologically, the battle is already halfway won politically.
And sadly, many of these pastors know exactly what they are doing because they understand how emotionally dependent many Nigerians are on religious authority.
They know many church members will never question anything coming from the altar.
That is why you must use your brain this period.
God is supreme.
Jesus is King.
Nobody is arguing that.
But God has also given human beings free will.
The same Bible is full of people making choices and living with the consequences of those choices.
Nigeria today is the result of choices.
Bad leadership is the result of choices.
Corruption is the result of choices.
Silence is the result of choices.
And better leadership will also come from choices.
God will not come down from heaven to thumbprint ballot papers.
Nigerians will.
So when someone tells you “the next president has already been chosen,” ask yourself:
Why then are politicians campaigning?
Why are billions being spent on elections?
Why are parties fighting desperately for power?
Why are propaganda machines working overtime?
Why are pastors suddenly sounding like political analysts?
Because they know votes matter.
And they know people matter.
That is why APC and its supporters are now focusing heavily on psychological warfare.
They know they cannot easily defend the suffering Nigerians are facing.
So the next best thing is to make Nigerians mentally surrender before 2027 even arrives.
That is why you must stay alert.
Pray, yes.
Trust God, yes.
But also think critically.
Because faith without wisdom is how manipulators control people.
Today we had a mandatory meeting at work. We have one Deaf employee that is often forgotten about by upper management.
There was no ASL interpreter. She has to rely on another employee to take notes for her so what is being said is accessible.
When they opened the forum for questions, I asked why one wasn't provided. The vice president seemed shocked that she even existed and said he didn't know.
This is why advocacy is important. I know my coworker and even though she is a good advocate
"Nigeria needs a wealth creator...all of us have disabilities...everybody in Nigeria is disabled..."
In this conversation with @KayodeAkintemi, Peter Obi explains why he believes INEC has been compromised by the ruling party.
Showing today at 5 PM WAT.
