Today, I have been officially inducted as a professional member of the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), a milestone that marks a significant achievement in my IT journey. As Africa's largest IT professional organization and Nigeria's umbrella body for IT professionals,..
Let me break down Cowrywise and why the math actually makes sense for Nigerians.
Cowrywise is not just a savings app. It is a wealth management platform that gives you access to mutual funds, treasury bills, US dollar assets, and the Nigerian stock exchange, all from your phone.
If you save N50,000 monthly in a regular bank account with no real interest, you have exactly N600,000 after one year. Flat. No growth.
Put that same N50,000 monthly into Cowrywise’s Emergency Fund plan at 13.27% annually and you end the year with N644,926. That is N44,926 earned simply for choosing where to keep your money.
Choose their goal-based plans instead, the ones built for rent, school fees, or a car, currently running at 13.85%, and you end the year with N646,974.
Push that same discipline into their money market fund options, which track closer to T-bill yields around 16%, and your N600,000 contribution grows to N654,629 in just one year.
Now stretch that goal plan over three years instead of one. Your total contribution of N1.8 million becomes N2.24 million. That is N441,579 earned purely from compounding, without you adding a single extra naira beyond your normal monthly contribution.
This is not about getting rich overnight but is about making your money do something instead of sitting idle in an account earning almost nothing while inflation eats it alive.
Pick a goal and automate the contribution. Let compounding do what bank savings accounts in Nigeria were never designed to do.
This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory.
The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before.
Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring.
The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.
Sometimes I always struggle to understand the rationale behind this mass & arranged wedding. If he cannot sustain himself to the point of marrying on his own, how does he intend to provide for a wife & eventually kids? The misplaced priorities are disgusting & troubling gaskiya.
Giving youths from middle class & underprivileged homes a chance at life through scholarship opportunities is one of the greatest investments anyone can make for future generations.I only hope the incoming administration sustains this momentum. Well done sir, take your flowers.
Proud to visit our Adamawa State scholars at Istinye University in Istanbul.
Seeing our students pursue academic excellence underscores the importance of investing in education and human capital development. We are also set to sponsor another cohort of students to study in Australia and Canada, expanding opportunities for our young people to compete and succeed globally.
Microsoft is quietly advancing quantum computing with AI that essentially supercharges itself. Quantum computing is likely to be ready by 2029 which is earlier than it was previously predicted. How incredible 😭 💔
While the Nigerian govt is preoccupied with the search for over 40 Oyo school children abducted by bandits in an era where satellite technology could easily assist in locating them, the rest of the world are fixated on building LLMs & Quantum Computing.
while everyone’s busy talking shit..
Quantum computing just crossed one of its biggest engineering barriers 🤯
“Microsoft unveiled Majorana 2, a next generation quantum chip with average qubit stability reaching around 20 seconds & lasting as long as one minute.”
“The company says the new chip delivers nearly 1000× greater qubit reliability compared to Majorana 1.”
“Most quantum systems lose information in milliseconds, but Majorana 2 keeps quantum states alive thousands of times longer.”
“The breakthrough comes from a new topological qubit architecture built using lead (Pb) superconductors and indium arsenide semiconductor materials.”
“Microsoft’s system is based on Majorana Zero Modes, exotic quantum states designed to naturally resist noise and reduce errors.”
“Microsoft also used its AI platform, Microsoft Discovery, to accelerate materials discovery and hardware optimization.”
“Longer-lasting qubits could dramatically reduce the need for massive error correction, one of the biggest bottlenecks in quantum computing.”
“Microsoft now believes commercially useful fault-tolerant quantum computers could arrive by 2029.”
These systems could revolutionize drug discovery, material science, energy systems, chemistry and advanced AI computation.
Acceleration is everywhere!

You drive home, and your house is the only one shining bright; because you have a solar system installed. Your kids rush into your arms, your wife wraps you in that unmistakable hug, welcoming you. The table is ready, with fresh juice and cool water waiting. You check your bank account, there’s money. Your health is intact, Allãh shields you and your family from illness. You have a bed to rest in and work to resume tomorrow. And yet, do you grumble? You still complain?😩
Be overwhelmingly thankful to Allãh. None of this comes from your wisdom or effort. It is pure grace, a test, and a gift.
If youare a civil servant under Tinubu’s economy, your salary is not your financial plan. It is your base. Learn one skill you can monetize on weekends. Cut every expense that does not protect your health or your income. Save in dollars, even if it is $10 a month. Your pension will not save you. Your hustle might.
Since Dembélé got married, things started to move in the right way – from weekly injury to winning major trophies & now, about to win second Ballon D’or in a row, ngl sometimes marriage is all you need to win big ❤️💪
@Uthmankhan_@ProfIsaPantami@ShehuNaAllah_ Isa Ali pantami is a big household name! If anyone generates such a level of outburst for taking any step in life then that person is truly powerful in every scheme of things💪Man is living rent free in their heads..Allah ya karawa Mallam Basira
