I identify as a first draft.

Tinkering intensely in the (b/g)rave new AI world.

[Fu'ad ❤️‍🔥 🧠🥊 @FuadXIV]

The first cohort was an experiment to see what would happen if you gave people resources and set them loose. We ended up with four projects: an animated short film, a podcast series, essays, and a documentary film.

Now, we're taking all our learnings into the next cohort :🧵👇🏾

Applications are now open for the second cohort of The https://t.co/fC0pNfV3wq Fellowship. If you want to answer big questions, produce urgent stories, or build powerful tools that deepen understanding of Nigerian history, this is for you.

We are off to a new start on Season 2 of the Clause & Effect Show! 🫡

I'm really excited about the first episode where we speak to an entertainment law lawyer (on how labels and artistes split earnings, etc). Episode out tomorrow!

I got the list of Ambassador's College medalists at the just concluded International STEM Olympiad.
Gold medals (Maths)
1. Daniel Abara
2. Taiwo Demilade
3. David Ufondu
4. Chidalu Emeka-Okoye
5. Idu Seth

Gold Medals (Science)
1. Teniayo Alade
2. Daniel Abara
3. Treasures Olawunmi Jephtah
4. Chidalu Emeka-Okoye
5. Daniel Afolabi

Among several other gold, silver and bronze medal winners in science, coding, math, bridge, and several honorable mentions.

The entire country has plenty of reasons to be proud, not just one section of it.

But at the end of the day. The three South East Olympiad winners hit specially because they were the only ones that went there from the personal funds of one man to represent the region.

Next year's winners of South East Math Olympiad, I hope you're ready.

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

The wait is over.

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.

We are the best in the world!

Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

online seems divided between people who haven’t seen Nolan’s Odyssey and hate it, and people who actually saw Nolan’s Odyssey and liked it, it’s a rich debate

@rolayomide Let's not encourage bad behaviour please 🙏🏾

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

There is a false tribal narrative being circulated claiming that we dropped a Yoruba child to replace him with an Igbo child for the International STEM Olympiad in Rome.

That claim is completely false.

This is the full live stream of the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad Grand Finale, where the winners emerged. Our selection process was conducted publicly because we believe transparency is the best way to protect integrity.

We deliberately stream our competitions live so everyone can see how winners are determined. Our goal is simple: ensure that the right children win based on merit, not ethnicity, religion, connections or influence.

We are building a generation that believes hard work is rewarded. Merit is not negotiable.

Watch the full Afia TV live broadcast and judge the process for yourself: https://t.co/hByUPQkdQv

Nigeria's children deserve better than tribal propaganda. They deserve fairness.

Donated! Sharing so that anyone on my TL who is moved to support, should please do so. She's a first class math grad from Unilorin and 4.3M is standing between her and a fully funded masters in Italy.

In 1980, nearly 14,000 people in Nigerian prisons were awaiting trial, accounting for about 40% of the country's prison population. More than four decades later, awaiting trial inmates make up over 60% of those behind bars.

At the time, Punch reported that overcrowding was already an issue of concern: "The memorandum also shows there is serious over-crowding in the prisons. For example, Enugu prison which was meant to take 683 persons now has 1,219, while Gombe prison in Bauchi State, which was meant for 229 persons, has 583 inmates."

The same report also noted that of the 20,982 convicted inmates in Nigerian prisons, more than 1,100 had been imprisoned for owing money.

🇳🇬 Historic moment for Nigeria at #PAMO2026!

Of the 6 students who represented Nigeria at the Pan-African Mathematics Olympiad, 5 were from Special Maths Academy.

The team returns with:
🥈🥈🥈 3 Silver Medals
🥉 1 Bronze Medal

Today is D-day.

Our boys are now at the Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma for the Grand Finale of the International STEM Olympiad in Rome, Italy.

I’m optimistic about their victory.

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

Finally the Commonwealth brouhaha has been brought to a close. Jamir Nazir has won the overall prize and the @cwfcreatives has made a film with all the regional winners talking about their stories. Whatever one thinks of his story, the panel of judges led by @DoughtyLouise have done their job and decided on a winner.

We do not have to like the choice of the judges. Next year there will be different judges with different tastes and values. If the Commonwealth Foundation truly gives the judges independence then it means there will be years that readers will deeply dislike or disagree with the judges' choice.

In the end, whatever we do, it is important to remember that these are real people, with real lives, not avatars.

Also, gosh, I love the way Stacey Ann-Smith speaks.

This LLM experiment (via Micron) has paid back every dime I've ever spent on LLMs, and I've been paying for ≥1 LLM since December 2023.

I asked ChatGPT to pick three stocks in June last year. It recommended three companies I knew next to nothing about at the time.

Today, they're up over 200% cumulatively.

(Worth mentioning that this is not financial advice, and I had a core thesis that guided the picks)

[Elnathan John @elnathan_john]

This has been such a messy, messy affair. I feel bad for the judges but especially any writers who know they have been unfairly accused.

This response, however insufficient some might find it, is the only response that would not have unjustly and without concrete evidence victimised any of the people involved.

As soon as the allegations began there was no clean way to have brought this to a close. For me this, (as imperfect as it may seem) is the path that causes the least amount of long term damage to real, working writers caught up in this really bizarre episode. That is not say that I believe no one used AI. But I refuse to be part of destroying a writer's career because I have a hunch.

If they had bent to the outrage, it would have meant capitulating to accusations that could not be verified in any reliable way (that would not also potentially permanently harm an innocent writer.) Holding ground also means annoying those who seem convinced that AI was used.

I have always said that no sensible person who claims to hate AI should be using or relying on Pangram or any equivalent (which is also AI), and especially not to potentially cause irreparable reputational damage to a writer.

Ultimately, good stories that move people will survive regardless of the accusations that trail them and poorly written stories that move no one will vanish into the ether regardless of whether they win prizes or not.

Over the last few months, we’ve built one of the most capable AI agent for Excel and spreadsheet analysis, used by thousands of professionals around the world.

Now we’re looking for someone who can help us show people what the product can do.

Your primary responsibility will be creating video demos, walkthroughs, and examples that help analysts, finance teams, consultants, and operators understand how to get real value from Decide.

You’ll spend your time exploring the product, discovering useful workflows, testing new features, solving real-world spreadsheet problems, and turning those discoveries into content that people can learn from.

We believe someone with a background in Excel, finance, FP&A, consulting, operations, or data analysis is likely a much better fit than a traditional marketer.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys building models, cleaning messy datasets, automating repetitive work, finding shortcuts, and teaching others how to work smarter, we’d like to talk.

This is a full-time role. We’re building a suite of tools to eliminate spreadsheet grunt work, and we’re looking for someone who can help demonstrate what’s possible as we ship.

Salary and equity included.

How to apply
