@Sai_Ishaya_ You are spot on brother. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of in providing care for the venerable in our society.

Recent updates on Samsung Galaxy UI is fucking crazy. They are actually out doing themselves.

The ones i found very interesting is the new "talk assistant". On the latest update i can now easily screen calls before picking it.

I can ask callers what their name is and exactly the reason for their calls before deciding whether or not to pick.

I am not the type that compares phones, but i think @SamsungMobile is on the league of their own.

Last week marked an important milestone for us at @SusuboxHQ as we deepened engagements with infrastructure and compliance partners helping shape the future of our platform.

We had productive conversations with teams including @YapilyLtd and @clear_bank as we continue building a compliance-aligned community savings infrastructure for underserved immigrant communities in the UK.

A major highlight was our engagement with @clear_bank. Their team provided valuable guidance on regulatory pathways, responsible scaling, and operational structure for fintech platforms like ours. We also had encouraging discussions around safeguarded account structures that could support our future FCA application process.

At Susubox, our infrastructure choices are intentional. We are building on trusted financial rails because community finance is built on trust, accountability, and shared prosperity.

Open Banking has reached a level of maturity that now allows startups like ours to responsibly modernise traditional community savings systems using secure and regulated infrastructure.

We’re also pleased to share that @YapilyLtd has already provided sandbox access, and our team is currently reviewing the environment as we continue preparing for launch.

Still early days but we remain committed to building responsibly, securely, and with the right partners.

The future of community finance deserves trusted infrastructure.

CLI all day, including on Sunday. I don’t even have Docker Desktop on my machine.

[Titanium @akinkunmi]

Docker Desktop is a very stupid app. Always crashing for no reason and would not restart until I restart the entire computer. Wtf.

[AIKeaton UK @ByteFuserUK]

Yep. People can copy features in a weekend. They usually can't copy the actual work of shipping, iterating, and earning trust.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

Financial systems across the world are built on trust. The same trust that made two or three people come together for the purpose of collective savings.

We are building a very solid infrastructure for people to do even what they've been doing.

[Michael Ayua @Tor_yeke]

This conversation reminds me of the Samwer brothers.

Copycat hall of famers.

The Samwer brothers via Wimdu cloned Airbnb in 2011. They had done this several times, their strategy was to clone your product at scale that's threatening and thereby forcing you to buy them.

Airbnb out executed them, after losing some sleep of course and really really coming close to buying them. Luckily they realised people that clone products can't go the distance. They lack the passion, the obsession, the grit, the narrative, the vision, the direction of a pioneer who has braved seven seas and seven mountains to move a product from 0 to 1.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

@deveshlogs It did yesterday, and of course today, and certainly it will tomorrow.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

Building in public is one way to build trust and carry your intended market along while building solutions for them.

Anyone can steal a project; even the many projects out there can be copied, but the only thing that can't be stolen is execution.

And execution is as great as the idea itself.

[Tosin Olugbenga @TosinOlugbenga]

Nobody is building in public again….

You people are afraid of others cloning your project in 48 hours.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Lokasta @Lokastaz]

@holadele_shegun execution is everything, ideas are cheap

saw this play out so many times, someone copies your thing but has no clue how to actually run it

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

@Tor_yeke @TosinOlugbenga That's it. The vision, obsession, the grit, the direction that comes with launching a startup can’t just be copied.

It's impossible. Copycats always run the risk of abandonment.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

@Lokastaz You can't steal execution. It's not possible, and ideas are cheap because anyone could come up with them. What's expensive is executing them.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

You've just got to love this country, full of tradition and culture. Reading through the historical context behind the sergeant-at-arms slamming the door on Black Rod is really exhilarating.

If you are a founder of a company or know of a startup with at least five (5) employees and whose payroll isn't more than a million Naira every month, kindly drop a comment or slide into my DMs.

I have an offer they will most likely not refuse.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

@profmaf1 Thanks bro. Awayu

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

Striving to become the immigrant success story comes with its own unique challenges.

It means choosing to truly live, not merely survive. And living means pursuing what gives life meaning; creating impact in your host country while also contributing value back home.

None of this comes without challenges, but every challenge is simply part of the price you pay for the future you desire.

I’ll be coming back to this tweet in two years’ time.

[Olusegun Oladele @holadele_shegun]

We are currently seeking the right strategic partnerships and regulatory infrastructure to support Susubox ahead of our planned summer launch.

The companies we’ve reached out to have been carefully selected based on the infrastructure and payment rails required to ensure security, compliance, and trust for every user on our platform.

We’ve already received a number of positive responses, and several conversations are now progressing to the next stage, while our team of developers and product designers continues building an inclusive community finance infrastructure for immigrants to keep doing what they’ve always done; but now in a safer, more secure, and regulated environment.

We’re also deeply interested in understanding your experience.

Help us shape the next phase of community finance by filling out our survey:

A newly elected Reform UK Sunderland councillor said it would be better to melt Nigerians and use them to fill potholes.

I have never seen such a horrendous statement in my entire life. Across the West, different standards seem to apply to Jewish people and Black people.

Antisemitism is wrong, and so are racist comments like the one made by the Reform councillor.

What is concerning is how difficult it seems for @reformparty_uk spokespeople to clearly condemn both.
