Speaking about counsel, guidance and discipline, I cannot thank some people here enough.
I will tweet some things and I'll get my DMs full. Most of the time it is abuse and cussing and screaming. But there are people here who will genuinely reach out and correct me.
I remember I made a disparaging tweet about a foremost editor and a broadcast veteran here and ẹ̀gbọ́n @OlufemiAwoyemi came into my DM and scolded me like a proper ẹ̀gbọ́n. I got sense instantly like a proper àbúrò and immediately deleted the tweet. Weeks later at an event, I met the foremost editor and we had a long chat and exchanged numbers. I was glad for the discipline. Imagine if that tweet was out there and it gained traction?
Another time there was this debate about the Dangote seaport Ògùn State and I took a stance against the Yorùbá nationalist ending that tweet with a term I regret and will not repeat.
It was @TalkSpotNigeria that came to my DM and made me see the folly of that tweet. He was to put it mildly "disappointed" in me.
Another time I had someone contact me here for something that the @NigEducation needs that my company has built. It will help ensure high speed internet in our tertiary institutions while zero rating ALL pedagogical tools.
Students spend an insane amount of ₦ on data, @Wave5W had a sustainable solution.
This person setup the first meeting with a close ally to the minister, I fumbled it.
He then called me and spent over 3 hours fine tuning my pitch such that it will resonate with civil servants and political appointees who would then recommend it to the minister.
He got me to record the now improved pitch and send. It got the attention.
That person is @DanielWhalee.
I became close to @OpeBee because he asked me for evidence over something I had long held was true. It turned out to be erroneous.
There are many others, some younger and others older who constantly shape my world view without trying to change my personality or belief system.
I am grateful Sirs and Madames. It is not taken for granted.

In my element.
Innovating around Broadband for millions of Nigerians.
If we get it right, we will change lives significantly.
That's what we are doing at @Wave5W with @AtmosphereWiFI
Yesterday, at the @RadissonBlu Anchorage on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, in @officialABAT's Lagos; while the heavens poured blessings unlimited, members of the Association of Telecommunications Organizations of Nigeria (ATCON) had a frank conversation around Fibre To The Home (FTTH) technology.
The conversations revolved around challenges, standards and sustainable deployment models.
My company @Wave5W is a member of this esteemed Organization. I had the privilege of engaging my seniors and peers in the industry.
My focal point centred around collaboration that leads to innovation and improves everyone's bottom-line.
I presented our host neutral @AtmosphereWiFI Multi-Protocol Provisioning System (AMPPS) Architecture for ISP/ FTTH Federation outlined in 5 Core Dimensions/Layers.
Dimension 1. Breaking the 200k Subscriber Cap: The Atmosphere Passport & Edge Device Overlay.
The Reality: As of 2026, Nigeria’s top ISPs are hitting an artificial ceiling. Even the absolute largest players like @Spectranet_NG hover around 108,000 subscribers, while prominent fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks sit between 15,000 to 45,000 wired connections.
Meanwhile, GSM mobile subscriptions exceed 185 million.
ISPs are trapped on low-yield residential islands while a vast mass market walks right past their infrastructure.
The Hardware/Software Solution: AMPPS federates these isolated networks into a massive, unified macro-network controlled by a central switch. Access is unlocked via a single, universal credential: the @AtmosphereWiFI Passport.
The Low-Friction Deployment:
Brownfield (Existing Customers): The operator simply plugs the @AtmosphereWiFI Edge Device directly into the LAN port of their already deployed ONTs. No ripping out existing gear; it’s a pure software/hardware overlay that immediately bridges that terminal into the wider @AtmosphereWiFI network.
Greenfield (New Customers): The operator skips legacy gear entirely and deploys the standalone Atmosphere device as the primary customer-premises gateway.
The Strategic Effect: Every home, market stall, and transit terminal router becomes a roaming node. An individual ISP's addressable market instantly expands from a tiny, closed-loop subscriber base to any holder of an Atmosphere Passport across Nigeria.
Dimension 2. The Urban Congestion Epidemic:
Collective VoWiFi & MNO Offload
The Reality: Urban Nigeria is suffering from a massive network paradox.
On paper, MNOs are deploying 5G and VoLTE; in reality, walking into high-density economic hubs like Balogun, Alaba, or Computer Village means dropping to near-zero usable cellular signal due to concrete attenuation and extreme crowd density.
The Solution: By using AMPPS as a centralized switching platform, the aggregated footprint of thousands of @AtmosphereWiFI -enabled routers forms a carrier-grade indoor/outdoor offload grid. Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) allows native mobile calls and text to automatically route over the fibre-backed Wi-Fi network using the subscriber's existing SIM.
The Arbitrage Power: A fragmented ISP sector cannot negotiate with giants like MTN or Airtel. AMPPS acts as an infrastructure clearinghouse, negotiating massive cellular offload and VoWiFi contracts at aggregate scale.
Individual ISPs can also weaponize this integration as a localized product strategy, selling guaranteed indoor carrier connectivity to commercial properties.
Dimension 3. Monetizing the Creative Industry: High-Velocity Local Content Distribution.
The Reality: Nigeria’s booming Media and Entertainment sector said to be worth $10bn is throttled by a distribution bottleneck. High streaming metrics on global apps represent a thin urban elite; the broader domestic mass market simply cannot afford the unpredictable, heavy data costs required to stream high-definition media over mobile data networks.
The Solution: AMPPS transforms the federated edge hardware network into a massive, distributed Edge Content Delivery Network (CDN). Movies, music, and digital creatives are edge-cached directly onto localized storage layers within the @AtmosphereWiFI network.
The Strategic Effect: Users can walk into a market or transit zone and stream or download premium local content at blistering speeds without touching their mobile data wallets. Creators tap into a previously unreachable cash-driven mass market, capturing billions of Naira via secure, frictionless micropayments handled natively by the switch.
Dimension 4. Maximizing Infrastructure Yield: True Multi-Tenant Asset Sweating.
The Reality: Traditional FTTH deployment is a slow, high-risk CapEx game. An operator trenches expensive fibre cables, mounts gear, and waits years for single-tenant residential monthly fees to pay off the initial investment. If adoption slows down, the capital sits frozen in the dirt.
The Solution: AMPPS introduces an open-access, host-neutral model. The exact same physical node that handles a home subscription can concurrently route zero-rated municipal CCTV data, process secure bank point-of-sale (PoS) transactional traffic, and offload commercial MNO cellular streams.
The Strategic Effect: The underlying physical fibre is insulated from localized retail economic shocks. By shifting traffic profiles automatically (commercial trade by day, transit commuters by evening, data caching by night), the ISP’s assets are constantly yielding revenue from multiple, diversified institutional wallets.
Dimension 5. The Downstream Industrial Multiplier: Supercharging Data Centres & Local Routing.
The Reality: Nigeria's Tier III data centre boom is heavily reliant on international hyperscalers and legacy corporate banks for rack-space utilization. They lack a highly aggregated, domestic retail processing engine that keeps infrastructure humming 24/7.
The Solution: Scaling from thousands of isolated home connections to millions of active @AtmosphereWiFI Passport nodes shifts the centre of gravity of the entire Nigerian internet.
The Strategic Effect: Data Centre Scale. AMPPS and its ecosystem partners become mega-tenants for local colocation data centres, requiring massive compute space to handle the real-time clearing, billing, and authentication of millions of daily transactions.
IXPN Integration & FX Protection: Traffic moving between @AtmosphereWiFI Passport users, traders, and local content caches is routed horizontally via the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN). By keeping traffic local, integrated ISPs drastically minimize their reliance on expensive, dollar-denominated international IP Transit-protecting their margins against Naira volatility.
Edge Real Estate Boom: To manage real-time VoWiFi switching and media caching across the country without latency bottlenecks, AMPPS drives the commercial viability of solar-powered Micro-Edge Data Centres at regional aggregation hubs, creating a brand new investable digital real estate asset class.
Why this makes AMPPS the “@InterswitchGRP of Infrastructure”
@MitchellElegbe didn't build banks; he built a central switch that connected the banks, created the Verve card rails, and enabled the multi-trillion Naira digital economy we see today.
@wandyvirus (Ayọ̀wándé Adálémọ) is doing the exact same thing for the physical utility layer.
AMPPS doesn't trench the fibre or manufacture the routers; it serves as the interoperable switching and clearing layer that forces isolated pools of network capital to form a nationwide, hyper-yielding digital ecosystem.
With all five Dimensions/layers defined, from the low-friction plug-and-play @AtmosphereWiFI device overlay up to the massive macroeconomic impact on data centres, @Wave5W has a bulletproof, strategically compelling case.
Thank you for listening.

The people screaming till their voice is hoarse are the Alápámáṣisẹ́ Association of Nigeria.
1. Hook up culture people (àwọn aládòóbọ́)
2. Cyber fraudsters (Àwọn olè ayélujára)
3. Fake everything producers(Àwọn atọ̀wúnrìwá)
4. Drug and narcotics pushers( Àwọn olóògùn olóró)
5. Lekki wannabes (Àwọn ọ̀lẹ Márọ̀kọ́)
6. Yorùbá Christians who have been told that prosperity is just by believing in Jésù( Àwọn alágàbàgebè gba wèrè m'ẹ̀sìn)
7. OAPs, influencers and the likes who live in delusional utopia (Àwọn tí pajápajá ti mú l'ọpọlọ)
All of this have one thing in common: Dem no wan kpai but dem wan go heaven.
The brutal reality of @SenRemiTinubu revelation that hard work is rewarding no matter how menial, cuts their conscience in a thousand places. They can't look into that mirror. What they see condems each one of them.
Since our mother is not mirroring their delusional utopia, they are in the 10th level of intense gnashing and wailing and anger.
Anyways I have my own Àkàrà. What should I eat it with?
Teaching my grandchildren Yoruba, my language. Language is a central part of one’s culture, roots, and identity. I want to anchor them in their heritage and identity. 💕💕
@wandyvirus The Lagos elite that she's part of are the enablers. They don't see anything good in Yoruba folks those who never believed that Aworis exist. They kept calling Aworis 'ègún', &they impoverished the locals by cutting them off from jobs, while they built wealth around their...
I, alongside the council management team, held a strategic meeting with executives of Pladis Foods at their factory in Dopemu, Agege.
The engagement focused on familiarization and exploring areas of mutual partnership, particularly around the Agege Tech Hub and the development of two new Primary Health Centres.
We remain committed to building strong partnerships that drive innovation, improve healthcare access, and create opportunities for our people.

@wandyvirus,Now you can see what forgiveness can do in a human's life, and how it frees the heart from burdens which helps us strive for excellence through our spirit. For the offence of 2006, the same year you forgave FCB, AFC qualified for the UCL final. Congratulations 🤣
