Professor Philip J Jaggar at the University of London (SOAS) gave an address in flawless Hausa to guests and European graduating students of the Hausa Language.
One of the few greatest ethnicity to ever exist in the world and one of the two greatest ethnicity to ever exist in Nigeria, no soul that have ever come across a Hausa person that would not testify they are the most peaceful and loving people in the world being Hausa is more than a name or an ethnicity. It is a heritage built on community, resilience, hospitality, dignity, hard work, and a deep respect for family and tradition it also a bragging right.
Happy World Hausa Day.
We need national companies capable of handling civil construction, railways, roads, bridges, dams, ports, and major infrastructure projects, while deliberately developing Nigerian engineers, contractors, technicians and local supply chains
Unless Nigeria creates its own nationally owned construction giants—similar to China’s CSCEC, CREC, CRCC and CCCC nothing will fundamentally change the situation.
I have a question please.
If government awards a construction of a new 108km road at N81.2bn, does that means each 1km costs 751.85m??
Is 1km of a road really that expensive??
“Hausa has one of the coolest sound systems of any language on the planet. It is the most spoken native language in Nigeria, and it is not related to all the other major languages in Nigeria”

Soon we will have a world where there will be a button to place the order to print in a company and deliver to your home, you dont need any new technology, just amplification and integration, the world is changing fast
Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.
We just crossed a line in medicine that humanity has been walking toward for a hundred years.
For the first time, doctors can take a biopsy of your specific tumor, read its unique DNA mutations — the exact fingerprint no other cancer on earth shares — and build a custom mRNA blueprint written for one human being. Yours.
It doesn't poison the cancer. It teaches your own immune system what to hunt.
And this week, Phase 3 results confirmed it works.
Added to the best immunotherapy we already had, this individualized cancer vaccine has been dramatically cutting the odds that high-risk melanoma comes back. In the earlier data, the combination reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 49%, and the risk of the cancer spreading to distant organs by 62%, compared to the standard treatment alone. This week's Phase 3 readout confirmed the benefit holds. That is not a modest tweak. That is a different trajectory for a human life.
And melanoma is just the first door. The same approach is now in trials across lung, bladder, and kidney cancers — a whole program of them, racing forward.
Understand what this actually means, because it's bigger than one drug.
For all of history, we fought cancer with blunt weapons. Cut it out. Burn it with radiation. Flood the whole body with chemotherapy and hope the cancer dies before the patient suffers too much. We were swinging a hammer in the dark.
This is a blueprint. A weapon designed atom by atom for one person's disease, that turns their own body into the thing that finds and destroys it. We are watching medicine shift from managing cancer to hunting it.
I've spent my life as a physician, and I did not expect to see this so soon. We were told personalized cancer vaccines were a thirty-year dream. They are happening right now, in real patients, with real data, in our lifetime.
I don't say this lightly, and I say it as a doctor who knows exactly how rare these moments are: this is one of the most hopeful things to happen in the history of the field.
I woke up thinking of the words of the morning prayer — Modeh Ani — I thank You. Gratitude, the moment you open your eyes, for a soul returned and a day given. To be alive at the exact hour when human beings learned to teach the body to cure itself feels like standing inside that prayer.
We are not at the end of cancer. But we are, unmistakably, at the beginning of the end of its reign.
Today we're releasing a preview of AIDO Cell, a world model of the human cell.
It simulates one cell across DNA, RNA, protein, through regulatory networks and whole-cell behavior. Not four models handing results to each other. One system.
