One of the clearest signs that you misunderstand a situation is when you keep trying to solve it with sincerity while the other side is solving it with incentives. You bring honesty, emotion, and explanation to a board where the real question was always leverage, cost, and consequence.

@bolaabanjo Africa doesn’t have the underlying coordination to support building legacy models. Our systems and infrastructure are just too fragmented that it makes it impossible to build legacy AI in Africa irrespective of how much you spend. You’ll need to fix coordination first

@fisayosoyombo @flyingbeso 120k new cancers yearly in Nigeria vs 2.3m in the US with limited access to Nigerian cuisine and 60% air fryer adoption (<1% in Nigeria) - is it really about Suya and Moi Moi? 🤔

Most businesses don’t lose money on FX because of bad rates; they lose it because of bad timing.

Our Head of Treasury explains why timing is the silent killer in cross-border payments and how working with a structured provider like @waza_hq helps businesses stay ahead of market fluctuations.

If your business pays or collects in USD, GBP, or EUR, watch this .👇

🔌OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down.

The amount of global capital coming to chase African stablecoin opportunities is going to make the b2b marketplace wave look small.

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

"Founder Mode" was an instant classic because it articulated something that thousands of founders already knew to be true but weren't sure how to put into words.
