Mocking anyone crying over the death of their father isn’t part Yoruba culture neither is it content for political banter. Death is a debt we owe so everyone’s day will come ☺️.

How does this apply to Nigeria?
Short term: job disruption + new AI roles emerge.
Mid term: education overhaul or digital divide deepens.
Long term: either a global AI talent hub or a pool of bypassed labour.
The choice? Invest in human skills now.

Fearing for his child’s prospects, a Microsoft veteran dug into the data and found the jobs to avoid and skills to develop. Wait and see is not an option, he writes

Nigeria can learn from Sweden’s model of early tech subsidies, institutional capital, indigenous solutions through digital infrastructure & academic spinout, aimed at prioritising user-centricity to achieve a contextualised AI ecosystem.

[Forbes @Forbes]

Sweden’s AI startups are flying. Stockholm has the highest concentration of unicorns outside Silicon Valley and, attracts more VC per capita than any European hub. What's its secret? https://t.co/cFf7I5lngB

@LarryMadowo He is just correcting a very bad habit.

@IfeanyiUddin I agree 💯

[Mumin Abubakre (PhD) @Taatweet]

@IfeanyiUddin Indeed, d success of reform depends on if d current macroeconomic stability—cited by figures like d WTO's Okonjo-Iweala as a positive sign—can translate into microeconomic relief.

[Mumin Abubakre (PhD) @Taatweet]

@IfeanyiUddin Ur points highlight vital structural failures, many that BAT argues are d very reasons for its reforms. While ur view accurately reflects d lived reality for many Nigerians, d administration frames these current "pains" as a necessary transition toward long-term stability.

[Mumin Abubakre (PhD) @Taatweet]

@IfeanyiUddin How do you mean BAT has ‘poor economics’ & ‘lousy policy making?

@Onsogbu No need for the fences really.

@IfeanyiUddin Do student loans in university education count as “investment in people��?

[Mumin Abubakre (PhD) @Taatweet]

@alvinfoo This is such an inaccurate analysis 🧐

To the local government chairwoman of @Etiosalga we are coming to see you on Thursday the 16th of April 2026.

@SegunShowunmi Brother, Bwala’s disgraceful performance is inseparable from the weakness in Nigeria’s politics’ lacking clear distinct ideologies. That's why our politicians and their associates keep swapping political parties. It's a big mockery of our political system.

@one_miloo @capitallami I agree 900sqm above is ideal but I worry mosquitoes may not let you truly enjoy the outside space of 900 sqm

@ArunPrasha32115 @BBCSport Such a stupid comment to make.

I’m so proud of Vincent Kompany🙌🏾

Wow. What a leader.
