👨💻 I built a platform that enables you save on the blockchain and earn high interest(yield).
Somi Finance💸: This project was built for the just concluded DeFi Mini Hackathon by @Somnia_Network
NB- Platform currency is STT (test tokens)
Some of its key Features 🧵👇
Hyperbridge V2 is online, chugging along slowly. Fully decentralized, reborn as an interoperability hyperstructure.
Pallet-sudo is gone, provers are incentivised by the treasury, collator selection is based on reputation tokens & protocol changes are downstream from governance
Between January 2024 and March 2025, over 7 million tokens were launched on https://t.co/zMyv3x8h8h, the platform that popularized the idea that anyone could spin up a memecoin in minutes.
Sounds democratic, right? Here's what actually happened beneath that story.
A report by @Solidus_Labs found that 98.6% of those tokens collapsed into worthless pump-and-dump schemes shortly after launch. Of the 7 million tokens deployed, only 97,000 maintained even $1,000 in liquidity. Meanwhile, Merkle Science tracked over $500 million lost to memecoin rug pulls and scams in 2024 alone. That figure includes a Kylian Mbappe impersonation scheme where scammers hijacked his social account, launched a memecoin that pumped to a $460 million market cap, then vanished with the liquidity.
This was the market. A cluster of just twelve wallet groups, according to WIRED, engineered 82% of all liquidity drains on https://t.co/zMyv3x8h8h, pocketing an estimated $4.2 million in exit-scam profits while retail participants bore the losses. Serial bad actors made up 18% of unique creators yet controlled most of the damage.
The system punished everyone else and rewarded speed, inside access, and capital.

ANDREJ KARPATHY COULD HAVE CHARGED $2,000 FOR THIS COURSE.
He put it on YouTube.
The full training stack. Tokenization. Neural network internals. Hallucinations. Tool use. Reinforcement learning. RLHF. DeepSeek. AlphaGo.
3 hours of the most comprehensive LLM education that exists anywhere at any price.
Not how to use the tools.
How the entire system was built from the ground up and why it behaves the way it does.
The engineers who understand this build things the ones who only use the tools cannot even conceive of.
The gap between those two groups is not 3 hours.
It is everything those 3 hours quietly unlock for the rest of your career.
If you just finished NYSC and you don’t have a job or know where to work, let me show you how to get hired as a product manager in 4 months.
If you also just left a toxic workplace with no backup job, or
You're bored of your current job and looking for a new challenge or
You just want to start product management
Read this.
This is exactly what I did:
1. Join a training academy: Just drop those youtube videos and random free courses. Find an academy that gives you structured learning, a community you can rely on, and direct access to seniors in the field you can network with and get jobs working in their company.
2. Make noise on LinkedIn: This is how I got a job as a mid-level PM while I was in university, even though I was entry level. I didn’t even go through any interview process. My LinkedIn page did that for me. People are watching - believe me. Think of LinkedIn as your presentation ground - if you had an assignment for the week, present it. Just like that, you’re posting once a week for the next 12 weeks.
3. Build a portfolio: My portfolio only had PRDs and roadmaps I had done for friends. Those small 10k / 20k gigs got me a 300k job. Turn your assignments into case studies in your portfolio.
Start doing those 3 and get yourself a job this 2026.
On Monday , I’ll share a killer portfolio template that gets the attention of hiring managers, even if you’re just starting out.
Don’t miss it🫵
Peter Obi arrived in South Africa from Lagos in the early hours of Friday for a conference, but true to his belief in putting Nigeria and Nigerians first, he made time to meet with members of the Nigerian community to ask after their welfare in light of recent events.
The meeting was productive, but also deeply revealing, as many Nigerians present shared that no government official had reached out to them, at least not in any official capacity. They expressed happiness at receiving Peter Obi and were touched that, despite the stress and fatigue of a long flight, he chose to stop by and engage with them before even getting some rest.
This is one thing that has been missing for far too long. The feeling of belonging to a country where citizens feel seen, valued, and cared for by their leaders, regardless of where they are in the world.
While we continue to ask citizens to be patriotic towards their country, the country itself must also show patriotism towards its people. This is the kind of Nigeria Peter Obi hopes to restore. A nation where the people feel loved by their country, and in return, truly love it back.
#NigeriaWillBeOk
- PETER GREGORY OBI is a better candidate than the lesser two.
- He is Incoherent, there is conclusive evidence that highlights it on multiple occasions.
- He does not derail, he breaks it down to the root cause and gives you his solution.
The other said on live TV that his solution to youth employment is, “ Recruit 50 million youths into the army, what will they eat, CASSAVA, CORN, YAM…..”
-The so positive reforms have driven more Nigerians into poverty, eroded the disposable income of the middle class, sent more people back to the village, crippled the finances of the youthful generation, borrowed more money than 3 generations have seen against our oil that is still in the ground to be paid by our children’s children. Tell me how that is positive reform?
- Obidients have not killed anyone, maimed anyone, constituted a threat to life and property of any Nigerian Pre 2023 election till date, quote me anywhere.
Explain to me what harm they have done and we compare it with what APC miscreants did during the 2023 election till date, even as far as deny the END SARZ protest where we saw citizens killed on live TV.
The high horse is here to stay!
- All candidates must be thoroughly assessed, YES , why then do you keep shifting goal post when it comes to the current administration that has displayed wanton incompetence ?
Atiku that only remembers Nigeria exists during Elections?
Peter Obi that always shares his thoughts and ideas for public criticism is who you have a grouse with?
- Lamba
- You are the one in trouble not me.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Education Challenge: Not Funding but failure of leadership and Accountability.
The recent comments made by the Minister of Education are quite alarming. Despite receiving nearly 80% of educational donor funding over the last ten years, the North-West and North-East regions still show the lowest literacy and numeracy rates in Nigeria.
This issue goes beyond just a lack of funding; it highlights failures in leadership, accountability, and governance. Financial resources alone do not guarantee proper education. What truly makes a difference in education is the responsible and transparent management of these funds, aimed at achieving tangible results and a genuine commitment to developing human capital.
We cannot continue to commend government budgets, donor contributions, and various intervention programs while millions of children in Nigeria still lack basic reading and writing skills, which are essential for thriving in today's world. The real tragedy lies not just in the numbers, but in the lost potential of countless children whose futures are being compromised by systemic inefficiency and corruption.
Nigeria’s most valuable asset is not its oil, politics, or propaganda. It resides in the human capital of our youth. A country that overlooks education is essentially setting itself up for cycles of poverty, insecurity, unemployment, and instability in the future.
The Minister’s statement should prompt a national dialogue on how public funds and donor contributions are utilised. Every kobo spent on education must lead to clear improvements in literacy rates, school enrollment, teacher performance, and overall learning outcomes. Anything less is unacceptable.
Countries that have developed successfully, or are on the fast track to development, have made substantial investments in education. Nations like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh have recognised the invaluable impact of education on progress and growth.
Now, Nigeria must transition from mere discussions about education to achieving real outcomes. We need to construct schools, train teachers, modernise educational systems, enhance monitoring processes, and ensure every intervention directly benefits the children it is meant to serve, rather than being siphoned off by political intermediaries and bureaucratic systems.
A nation’s progress is closely linked to the quality of its education system.
A brighter future for Nigeria is achievable! -PO
A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY.
Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay.
How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence?
This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.
To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.
We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO
