Lateral Data Leakage LDL 🤣

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

I submitted a requisition form for 3 49-inch curved ultrawide monitors.

The total cost was $4K.

Procurement rejected the request within 10 minutes.

They sent a note saying standard protocol limits IT staff to 2 24-inch flat panels.

I immediately drafted a 6-page manifesto on the dangers of peripheral tunnel vision.

I emailed it to the entire C-suite.

I explained that monitoring a dynamic cyber-threat landscape on flat screens causes severe visual fragmentation.

I said when a hacker attempts a brute-force entry, the malicious code moves horizontally across the network topography.

I told them that a 24-inch monitor physically clips the ends of the payload, making it invisible to the naked eye.

I invented a term called "lateral data leakage."

I claimed that without the parabolic curvature of an ultrawide display, our localized firewalls were essentially blind on the flanks.

I included a heavily doctored heat map that showed our headquarters completely engulfed in red warning zones.

The CFO walked into my office 10 minutes later looking terrified.

He asked if we were currently experiencing lateral data leakage.

I squinted at my tiny, inadequate flat screens and sighed.

I told him I couldn't be sure because my field of vision was artificially constrained by legacy hardware limitations.

I said I felt like a fighter pilot trying to fly through a thunderstorm while looking through a paper towel tube.

He immediately bypassed procurement and authorized the purchase on the corporate card.

The monitors arrived yesterday.

I mounted them in a seamless 180-degree arc on my desk.

It looks like the command deck of a spaceship.

I'm not using them to monitor network topography.

I'm using them to play Microsoft Flight Simulator in ultra-panoramic 4K resolution.

I currently have the autopilot engaged somewhere over the Swiss Alps.

I keep a spreadsheet open on the far-left edge just in case someone walks in.

When people ask why the screens show a highly detailed 3D rendering of a mountain range, I tell them it's a topographical representation of our cloud storage density.

They always nod in awe and slowly back out of the room.

Never let corporate policy stand in the way of your immersive gaming experience.

A startup in China packed roughly 1,000 Mac Mini M4 computers into a single data center to run AI workloads without paying ongoing cloud fees. The base Mac Mini M4 starts at $599 and draws just 10 to 30 watts under load, a fraction of the 300 to 500 watts a traditional GPU server pulls.

Everyone I’ve spoken with who is currently serving in government has told me that this Prince Adeniyi case is simply a scam, but when I start asking questions, none of them has been able to answer.

Yes, you can forge an appointment letter and claim that you are a DG but appointment letters are signed by the SGF not the COS. Who allegedly issued his appointment letter or what signature is his allegedly forged appointment letter showing?

Someone higher than a DG must ask that you be allocated office space in the Federal Secretariat. Who made that request?

Someone higher than a DG must write asking that you be given an alleged take-off grant. You cannot yourself write to the Budget Office and the Office of the Accountant General that you should be given a take-off grant. Who allegedly wrote?

How did the agency get into the budget?

Usually, you will go for budget defence as part of a cohort. In this case, it will probably be as part of the State House cohort. Who defended or coordinated the defence of the budget estimates before the National Assembly before they were appropriated?

Did the guy earn a salary in the more than one year he was there? If so, who documented him and asked that he be paid?

With which money was the guy running the office for more than one year if nothing was allegedly released?

Who allegedly wrote to the CBN asking them to open an account for the ‘Council’? The ‘Council’ cannot just walk into CBN and ask to open an account, as if it’s a commercial bank looking for customers.

Who allegedly approved the ‘Council’s’ manning levels and who allegedly approved the waiver to recruit 300 staff?

Was the guy allegedly really that good? Or were there egregious failings at multiple points in the system?

These questions and more are often met with deafening silence. Everyone sighs heavily and uses the ubiquitous expression “Na waa.” Me sef, I sigh heavily and answer “Na real waa!”

This is a case of the proverbial tse tse that has landed on the scrotum. Leave it and it will cause sickness and pain. Swat it and it will cause pain because of its location.

Anyhow you look at it, there are questions begging for answers. And whatever the answers will be, they will not be good.

Still, I hope that there’ll be some answers soon…for the sake of our public administration system.

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

Clearly, Dangote's pricing and discount offers are creating an arbitrage opportunity for Nigerian PMS traders.

Those Nigerian traders are also using Nigerian dollars earned from Dangote exports to import PMS exported by Dangote back into Nigeria.

Crazy.

The Changing Face of Wealth in Africa: Kenya vs Nigeria

In this insightful discussion, we unpack the bold economic choices, business environments, investment flows, and high-growth sectors that are propelling Nigeria toward becoming one of Africa’s dominant economic powers.

What can Kenya learn from Nigeria’s trajectory? Where are the most promising opportunities emerging? And what does this rivalry and cross-pollination mean for the future of wealth creation across the continent?

This isn’t just a head-to-head comparison between two nations - it’s a deeper conversation about vision, leadership, policy courage, and the strategic decisions that determine which African countries will thrive in the decades ahead.

Many ignore the significant changes occurring in the education portfolio. The foundation is receiving a reset

[Dr. Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa]

You cannot improve what you cannot measure.

That is why we are building one of the largest education data systems in Africa and using it to transform how we plan, manage and improve education across Nigeria. 🇳🇬

During my keynote address at the 2026 DHIS2 Annual Conference in Oslo, Norway, I was proud to spotlight Nigeria’s Digital National Education Management Information System (DNEMIS), a platform built in collaboration with @UNICEF, that is helping us understand exactly what is happening in our schools and make better decisions for learners and schools across the country.

Today, DNEMIS captures data on more than 32 million learners in 204,048 schools across all 36 states, the FCT and 774 Local Government Areas.

This means we can better identify where classrooms, teachers, learning materials and other interventions are needed most, ensuring resources reach the children and communities that need them.

Nigeria now accounts for 32 million of the 45 million education records hosted globally on the DHIS2 platform, making our country the largest education implementation on the platform anywhere in the world.

As we continue to implement the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), @NesriNigeria, in line with President @officialABAT, GCFR’s vision for education, we are using technology and data to build a more efficient, transparent and accountable education system that delivers better outcomes for every Nigerian child.

The future of education is not guesswork. It is data, evidence and action.

"In dual-rate economies, the winning revenue model isn’t “cheaper transfers.” It’s truthful transfers, the ones that actually respect market reality."

[The Strategist @bizoptify]

This $1,000 → Lagos experiment is a masterclass in payment system arbitrage.

Nigeria doesn’t have one naira, it has two: the official CBN rate (what banks, Wise, SWIFT are forced to use) and the real parallel market rate (where actual supply meets demand). Stablecoins (USDT P2P) don’t just win on speed, they give you access to the real price, delivering ₦77,000 more than legacy rails.

That gap isn’t a fee.
It’s pure process leakage.

Optimised execution for fintech builders & operators in Nigeria:

1. Default your payout stack to parallel-market rails (stablecoins + licensed P2P) when the customer cares about value, not compliance theatre.

2. Treat the official rate as a cost layer, not the truth.

3. Build the product so users never leave money on the table because of outdated architecture.

In dual-rate economies, the winning revenue model isn’t “cheaper transfers.” It’s truthful transfers, the ones that actually respect market reality.

Legacy rails are optimised for regulation. Stablecoins are optimised for reality.

The next decade belongs to the latter.

Fortunately, he is not running the team. Arsenal's success comes from collective effort rather than relying on a solitary poacher. The entire squad contributes equally, instead of ten players working tirelessly just to set up one individual.

Disagree with the 'waste' quote – too sentimental. Upgrade boosts airport transport links. Airport as a WA traffic hub, not just size or looks. It is a proposal now. No point shooting it down.

[Káyọ̀dé Ògúndámisí 🇳🇬 @ogundamisi]

Minister @fkeyamo The proposed railway line from Ikeja to Lagos Airport ALSO IN IKEJA appears to be nothing more than a waste of scarce public resources. It is difficult to justify this project on economic or transportation grounds; it looks more like a vanity project than a priority investment.
One of the commendable decisions of your tenure as Aviation Minister and the Tinubu administration is the ongoing upgrade of MMIA. However, this particular rail project raises serious questions about value for money.

What exactly is the distance between Ikeja and MMIA? Traffic along that corridor is not so severe that it warrants a dedicated rail line.

A more practical and cost effective solution would be to dualise and improve the existing road network linking MMIA through the Beckley/Beacham Police Station axis to the FAAN headquarters. Such an upgrade would ease traffic, improve accessibility, and deliver greater benefits at a fraction of the cost.

At a time when resources are limited and infrastructure needs are immense, government spending should be guided by necessity, efficiency, and measurable public benefit, not prestige projects.
