…see themselves in the tech ecosystem and understand that digital careers are not unattainable dreams but achievable pathways.

Across Africa and beyond, there is massive talent waiting to be harnessed and nurtured. Sometimes all that is needed is visibility, guidance & belief.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Exponentiation means multiplying a number by itself repeatedly whereas multiplication is adding a number to itself repeatedly

Do you want to grow exponentially or multiply?

Mr. Sim Shagaya praised the innovative technological advancements of uLesson tablets to be distributed to students in the Niger Delta region. He noted that these tablets help level the playing field for children from everyday families, enabling them to compete with their peers from wealthier backgrounds.

He made these remarks at the launch and flag-off event for uLesson Educational Tablets, held at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering.

You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored.

Homer does something far stranger.

Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them.

They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs.

So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits.

Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right.

Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him.

Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads.

In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is.

What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it.

It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

Is not as if they are using the medal for anything useful.

Just scarcity mentality.

Dubai had a strategy. That's how they got here. Your governors strategy is to tar a few roads, build a flyover and commission a hospital. That's the difference.

generation see tech as a tool for impact, not just income and profit.

Here’s to a year of learning, building, mentoring, and growing.

Happy New Year. Let’s make it count.

[SOBERE @owengospel]

Welcome to 2026. A year full of possibilities, resets, and bold moves in every sphere of our lives.

This year, tech will continue to quietly but firmly redefine how we live and work matter where we are in the world. AI will move from mere buzz and hype to habit.

[SOBERE @owengospel]

made an attempt to remove fear, and show young people that they do not need to come from privilege to build a future in the Tech space. They just need clarity, guidance, and the courage to start.

In 2026, I hope more parents, educators, and professionals will help the next..
