“Data is key”
I find user research an integral part to making good decisions when designing a consumer based product.
My key lessons from the event organised by @helloyux and @uxghana will be to focus on the actual pain points of your users.

We have not seen destruction on this scale before.
The lower class have been obliterated. They have all been pushed below the poverty line. N55m more Nigerians pushed below the poverty line since Tinubu became president.
The middle class are in the lower class now.
Vote NDC.
“No matter our religion, tribe, or profession, we Nigerians are being killed, and the Tinubu government has proven that it is incapable of securing the country.”

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
My cousin worked at a hospital as an IT tech for 8 years.
One user account never logged in.
No helpdesk tickets, No password resets, No activity.

Her supervisor checked the HR system and said,”…
