We are organizing a workshop ahead of the Artificial Future conference organized by @Ypeopleintech. This workshop is for anyone that would like to advance Africa language representation by contributing to dataset availability. No technical background is required.
Around 2012, I was struggling to find my place in tech.
Then Facebook posted a photo of its engineering team and I saw a Black engineer who looked like me.
I later learned he was Nigerian. His name was Ola.
That moment made the dream feel possible.
I kept that photo as my screensaver for 3+ years. Every time I felt like quitting, I reminded myself: “If he can do it, why not me?”
Today, @ola works at OpenAI.
And after 14 years, I finally get to meet him.
You never know who’s watching you… Or whose life you’re changing just by showing up.
My goodness! What did I just witness in Lagos?
Nigerians are super creative.
Real virtual realistic carpentry simulation. Like I virtually saw furnitures set in the venue virtually and we saw all sides in 3D.
Naija to the world.

Mix feeling at my first Cursor Event tagged Cursor Cafe Lagos.
Super excited because I am a novice to this technology and looking forward to great learning and quite nervous at what to expect today.

Since they don’t want us to benefit from our children, I pray that they will not benefit from their own children either. I believe that the bl@od of our children will not be shed in vain, because the God we worship will surely take revenge for us.
To those who think I am not al!v£, I am al!v£. I went to pray for the son I carried in my womb for 9 months, but now he is no longer al!v£. I have told the God that I worship: if He is indeed the true God, He should avenge the d£ath of my son.
