You can now pay for things in Africa directly from your AI agent.

Today we’re introducing Paystack Index, the easiest way to check out with Paystack merchants through Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, and any AI agent.

At launch, you can:

→ Buy airtime: “Buy ₦500 MTN airtime for 080…”

→ Send money with @zapbypaystack: “Send ₦25k to…”

→ Buy food with @ChowdeckHQ: “Order jollof under ₦3k near me”

As more merchants join the Index, you’ll be able to do more, from booking rides and ordering groceries to paying utility bills, quickly and securely.

Paystack Index is now available in Nigeria, with more African markets coming soon.

An experimental product from Paystack and TSG Labs.

Eat more iron rich food or take supplements.

Keep ferrtin levels high. A lot of issues with tiredness, hair shedding, random aches can be traced to low ferritin

If Arteta manages to match the excellence of his defence in attack, the referee won’t matter and the team playing against them will be of no consequence.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Its often due to "Empire Building''. Let me explain.
This Halloween, Jeff Bezos dressed up as Batman and his fiancée as Catwoman. This is costume play. Everyone knows that Jeff Bezos is not Batman, and more importantly, Jeff Bezos knows that he is not Batman.

Nearly all successful people begin with two beliefs:

1. The future can be better than the present

2. I have the power to make it so

2025. Be boring.

Bff, think of 2025 as the year where discipline fuels your freedom. Small, consistent actions will compound into big wins.

Afrobeats icon Kenny Ogungbe said he took note of OJB when the late legend produced a record that Kenny was dissed in.

Mr Ogungbe was fascinated by OJB’s production in that song anyway, despite the fact that the song dissed him. So he calls OJB, says he’d like for his artist to work with him, connects him to 2Baba and they went on to do classics, including African Queen.

If you don’t know what it means to be focused on what matters, read this tweet from the beginning. That’s the sort of focus you need in 2025.

Academic Excellence tests a lot more than the ability to read and pass exams. It’s a test of character. It tests your mental strength and resolve. Your resilience. Your mind and body. Life will ask more out of you after school, but school is where the muscles are built.

There will be people who didn’t do well in school who will end up succeeding after school. The reason that’s a big deal is because it is not the norm. There are no news stories about a plane that landed safely. Norms don’t call our attention. Outliers do.

All said. Life is tough enough. Walahi, it is.

You must look to advance with every advantage you can muster. To tell yourself that grades don’t matter, when you don’t have a big fund in your name nor some major inheritance to fall back on, is to deny yourself an essential leverage for navigating the future. Don’t play yourself.

For every one who failed out of school and succeeded in life, there are scores of others who wish they did better in school.

I was in a board meeting with two of my mentors last Monday. They were both going back to class after the meeting. Past 60, extremely rich and accomplished, yet they are still arming themselves for the future. Don’t play yourself.

When I stumble on mind-shifting pieces that recalibrates my thinking patterns, I owe it to you to share here.

I lead my life this way and I referred to it as - living life on your own terms.

But Graham Weaver phrases it better - living a life of assymetrical outcomes.

This video. Everything in it. If you are getting shit done, always remember this. Never forget. Remind yourself, again and again. And then again.

Bishop David Oyedepo will always be primarily seen as the enigmatic, generational and transformational church leader he is. He will probably be the first to agree to that being his defining identity. God’s worker.

To only see him that way will amount to wilful blindness or sincere ignorance. None is acceptable.

He is much more. No private individual, dead or alive, can lay claim to his legacy in education from primary to secondary education and two world class universities in Covenant University - arguably Nigeria’s best university- and Landmark University.

Beyond these, the man is a maker of men. Not just in terms of building them up as a church leader. A maker of men in terms of literal economic empowerment. There are thousands of enterprises that cannot tell their stories without referencing his direct contribution.

Let’s not speak about the exceptional exploits of his university products. You just know there is a design at play.

He is a nation-builder. A man whose footprint finds its presence all around the world. You couldn’t write a single book on his impact, let alone one social media post.

This is only to say that when you think of the man, understand that whatever you see or know is only a vignette of his fullness.

Love or hate him, admire or detest him, this is an extraordinary symbol of pride to the Black race. If we were as committed to telling stories of greatness about our people, as Americans are used to doing, we’d understand better.

Happy birthday to Bishop David Oyedepo. I can’t explain. It’s extraordinary. #BDOat70

Canada Prime Minister candidate Piere Poilievre explains inflation in simple English.

This is the most explanatory video you will watch that breaks down the economics and the evil of inflation in basic everyday language.
