📍HOT TAKE 📍 I believe the future African billionaire will likely come from manufacturing + AI infrastructure. Forget pure software SaaS or basic fintech wrappers. The next massive wave of wealth on the continent will belong to those who build the physical and computational foundation for Africa’s industrial age. #ai #manufacturing #startups

At the 2026 InnovateNaija Awards, the President, ably represented by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, commended NASENI’s role in advancing indigenous technology and local manufacturing. The mission: turn Nigerian ingenuity into products, industries, and jobs. Let’s build in Nigeria and create value for Nigeria. #naseniinnovatenaijachallenge @AfriLabs @NASENIHQ @fmydNG

It will be of immense value to my life but Naah, not quitting my 9-5 🫩
If you received a $500k check today, will you quit your 9-5 job?

Quite inspiring. Happy birthday 🎈
Today I turn 43. My first salary was ₦60,000 a month. I lived on half and invested for my future. Over 20 years later, my portfolio can fund my family’s lifestyle if needed. To the young person making financial projections and wondering, “Can this really happen?” Let me share my journey. A thread…

From 37 starting points to one national stage. InnovateNaija began with a simple belief: Nigeria’s next big breakthroughs are already being built, in every state, by young people who just need the right support. Here’s the journey so far. Watch, and be proud of what Nigerian innovation looks like. @AfriLabs @NASENIHQ @fmydNG #innovatenaija

Congratulations to the winners of The NASENI InnovateNaija Innovation Challenge. It was indeed a journey that demanded great levels of dedication, commitment and hard work! A big congratulations to all the innovators. Your solutions will only go on to bring impact Nigerians for Nigeria and that in itself cannot be celebrated by an award. You should be proud of yourself! #innovatenaijachallenge #naseni

Dear serious business owner, please pay a graphics designer to do your designs for you. You won’t die… Like I said, “serious business owner”. There are some AI designs you see, the first thing that comes to mind is: This one is not serious 🙄🫩

I guess AI isn’t taking his job anytime soon 🤷🏽‍♂️
God you finally made me see this in real time 😭😭

Wow! Memories. This is an old video. I so loved this movie scene and I’m wondering how come I never thought it was AI 🤔
To future generations, this scene wasn't done with AI.

Another week to ace your goals. Wishing you all the best ✨

Thank you @ARISEtv for spotlighting his story and helping more people see the talent behind the achievement. We're proud to be a part of this achievement! 🙌🏾🚀

Replying to @MTN180
@MTN180 @MTNNG I think this day robbery is getting out of hand. In the last three months I’ve seen 165G wiped out in less than 2 weeks for my mini mifi and I would usually think maybe it’s because my TV is using the data when put on. Mind you, this mifi is for working at home. Now, for my personal phone, I’d usually buy either weekly or monthly subscriptions. I just bought 75G for one month yesterday and as this morning, I’m left with 51G. How exactly did 24G disappear in less than 24hrs? For just WhatsApp, X, some time of IG. Please I really need to understand what’s going on. This has been going on for a while and there’s no transparency in this process. I don’t watch movies on YouTube or carry out any heavy data usage services on my phone. Please give me back my data 🙏🏽 @MTN180 @MTNNG

There’s no limitation to innovation. This is the gap we are bridging at @Nasenihub. Thank you @NASENIHQ and @ARISEtv for spotlighting this 💯
