@BWLawal What about those of us that have proof but it’s just paper money, at least rn

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

This is quite commendable! Congrats @milsat_africa and @bosuntijani

Are you guys raising? 😊

[Dr. 'Bosun Tijani @bosuntijani]

Built in Nigeria. Ready for the world.

Today, I want to celebrate @milsat_africa, founded by Taslim Saluadeen and Adedamola Baderinwa, the Nigerian company behind the technology powering our new National Digital Postcode.

From delivering a pilot in 2023 to building a national system, Milsat demonstrates the depth of Nigerian technical capability and our ability to create infrastructure that improves public services, supports businesses and opens up economic opportunities.

Their work extends beyond postcode. Milsat supported the National Population Commission’s mapping of more than 65 million properties in preparation for Nigeria’s first digital census, and has deployed enumeration area demarcation technology in Sierra Leone.

This is the ambition I want us to nurture: Nigerian companies building solutions for our needs, proving their capabilities at home and taking that expertise to the world.

With appreciation to @NipostNgn, Meeds Network Limited and the National Population Commission for their roles in this journey, today’s spotlight belongs to the Milsat team.

I look forward to seeing you help many more countries turn location and field data into better services for their people.

@Babajiide This is kukuma not fair. I’ve always been a huge fan of Uncle FOP. Can’t believe you went without me sha. 😊

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

@Babajiide @theplatformng Yes oh. The real, quiet builders behind institutions. #SignalOverNoise

₦5,250 to become "Dangote's business partner." Ten million Nigerians tried.
The real story isn't the memes. It's what it says about the 90+ other companies on @ngxgrp nobody's rushing to own.🧵

Thank you for putting #Nigeria on the map, for the right reasons. Posterity shall reward you, brother @victorfatanmi!

[Adésóyè @victorfatanmi]

A Figma exec DMed me after we released SÉON case study last year to express how impressed he is seeing the quality of design work coming out of Nigeria.

I really just thanked him, smiled and moved on. Just recalled now and I'm like: oh that actually happened 🤯

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

E be like say “Alhaji” don buy market laik dis oh.

[Haayour 🦅🖤 @LUNGUAYO]

Dangote never wish me happy birthday, is this how you treat a shareholder!?

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

How about Indians who don’t ever lose their accents but succeed anyways?

Thinking you gotta lose your identity in order to be accepted might be a low esteem issue, not cultural integration

[marvelgamer007 @tblaze7000]

@AskMichaelTaiwo That accent can be a hinderance to certain opportunities,it’s not worth celebrating. It’s always better to integrate into the culture of your host country,many doors will be opened to you.

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

@Babajiide I’m about to join you people in taking the NGX seriously. So I can join the league of rich people like you. Wish me luck @Babajiide 😊

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

Stop Celebrating Athletes as Investors. The #Durant $60M windfall proves the opposite of what you think.

@Babajiide As an employer, I love when I pay my people too, especially when it goes out as early 25th of the month.

May God bless all our hustles.

Nigeria is back in the @FTSERussell Frontier Market.

Good news. But let’s not confuse a return with a promotion.

We lost this status in 2023. Nigeria doesn’t need another party.

It needs a capital market built for the $1T economy it wants to become. https://t.co/0KUYGT8t8V

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

@tosinolaseinde Just waiting for my money from Ladda. 😊

[Wale Salami (WS) @walesalami]

Nigeria wants a $1 trillion economy, is NGX ready to finance it?
@ngxgrp Is Working. But Is It Thinking Big Enough?

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn.

So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works.

Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it?

Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them.

For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information.

Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible.

Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.
