I'm 31. I'll be 69 by the time Nigeria finish paying the 2015-2026 debts. This year alone, BAT has added $7.77bn this year alone.
So I made a tool that tells you how old you'll be when Nigeria finish servicing some of the 2015-2026 debts. Vote wisely.

Help Make My Scholarship Dream Come True π
I'm Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo, a First-Class Mathematics graduate (CGPA: 4.76/5.0) from UNILORIN.
I'm happy to have been awarded a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy.
@elnathan_john At this point e be like say na the Africans in the French national team we bin dey pray for. That team is the only team giving me joy this week.
i'm obsessed with what's happening in AI reforestation right now
this Franco-Brazilian startup called MORFO took a patch of land in Brazil that was rock-hard and compacted from years of cattle farming. they replanted it using a single drone. months later the ground was covered in grass, bushes, and small trees. the land came back to life.
here's how the whole thing works.
1. drones scan the terrain with high-resolution cameras and sensors
2. AI analyzes the imagery alongside soil samples, moisture levels, slope, and surrounding vegetation
3. the system picks from a catalog of 300+ native species, deciding exactly which plants will thrive in which specific spot
4. the drone fires biodegradable seed pods packed with seeds, nutrients, and moisture at 180 capsules per minute
5. satellite and drone imagery monitors regrowth over time, with AI tracking vegetation cover and biodiversity
6. two people and one drone cover 50 hectares a day. a person planting by hand manages about one hectare.
and MORFO isn't alone. AirSeed in Australia drops 250,000 seed pods per day into bushfire-scarred koala habitat, replanting swamp mahogany that koalas depend on to survive. Flash Forest in Canada fires 50,000 pods daily into wildfire-destroyed boreal forest, planning the replanting alongside Cree Indigenous communities. re-green won Prince William's Earthshot Prize after planting 6 million seedlings across 30,000 hectares of Amazon and Atlantic Forest.
five companies across four continents built this same approach independently. nobody coordinated. the physics of the problem demanded it.
knowing which seeds belong in which soil used to require years of ecological fieldwork, manual planting crews, and budgets that made large-scale restoration nearly impossible. now two people with a drone and an AI model trained on local soil data can replant 50 hectares before lunch.
this is the AI work that'll still matter in 50 years.
@seyitaylor It's actually so upsetting to see. I will never understand how gambling was repackaged into "something light". I blame sports fans because that's where this new wave started. Using tech to rebrand evil as good...
A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality.
This is not true. π§΅
@eldivine@DejiAnubi We have to keep fighting against these positions, and like you always say - go outside and touch grass from time to time. The party that eventually takes over from APC also has to do a lot of work at the national and state levels to reverse all of the practices pushed recently.
@eldivine@DejiAnubi I'm forever grateful for the example of my parents families where intertribal marriage was the norm and they were the exception for being from the same tribe/hometown.
Twas such a shock to me when working to hear my "educated" colleagues talk about tribe as a selection basis.
