@SolaTheAnalyst So glad to read about these success stories. The other day listening to Pstr Dolapo Lawal, I was irked about his comment about Nigeria abroad been broke and only doing survival jobs. Relocating has literally positively changed the trajectory for some families and their generation
Around 2012, I was struggling to find my place in tech.
Then Facebook posted a photo of its engineering team and I saw a Black engineer who looked like me.
I later learned he was Nigerian. His name was Ola.
That moment made the dream feel possible.
I kept that photo as my screensaver for 3+ years. Every time I felt like quitting, I reminded myself: “If he can do it, why not me?”
Today, @ola works at OpenAI.
And after 14 years, I finally get to meet him.
You never know who’s watching you… Or whose life you’re changing just by showing up.
Last year a junior developer built an app that suddenly went viral.
Everything was working perfectly… until 200,000 users showed up at the same time.
The server crashed.
The database froze.
Users couldn’t log in.
The product died in 6 hours.
Weeks later he interviewed at a big tech company.
They asked him one question:
“How would you design a system that can handle 1 million users?”
He failed the interview.
Not because he couldn’t code.
Because he didn’t understand system design.
This thread will explain system design so simply that when you face this question in an interview, you’ll know exactly what to say.
Bookmark and retweet this. You’ll need it someday.
This is an absolute masterclass analysis from Vincent Kompany, This is how leaders must stand for what is right even in the midst of what seems like a hot mess.
Wow. What a leader.
I doff my hat for Vincent.
Top-notch websites that will make your kids smart enough.

@JustEniola01 Just curious would you be comfortable doing what you don’t like to just to make money? Some people won’t… He spoke his truth and they’re valid … Who are you to judge that and using someelse as yardstick cos they’re rich? Whether rich or poor people can make their choice.
@iam_Uchenna I know someone who could be of help google Babskenky.. That’s the man for interview prep. If you can survive him your chances of getting hired will be boosted by 70%.
Big respect to Jake Paul for showing up to this fight. A known YouTuber facing a one time unified heavyweight boxing champion. A fighter who ones defeated Klitschko. Big up Jake #JakeJoshua
@1BENNY7G Watch other artist incorporate this as well. Nice business idea. Pay Small Small is a norm in advanced country. More like a credit system. With the Goverment clamoring on income tax, BVN we can begin to build a solid credit system in Africa too. This ought to be commended 👏🏾
