Look at that!!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is AI-generated fiction, not real footage or events. Clothing details (e.g. shirt color/sleeve length) change between frames, matching artifacts noted in comparisons and the source account's bio stating "AI-GENERATED FILMS | PURE ENTERTAINMENT | NOT REAL EVENTS".

This Usmanu Danfodiyo University professor delivers mathematics lesson in Hausa. His name is Prof. Aminu A. Usman. Some years ago, Bayero University Kano translated some science textbooks into Hausa to facilitate understanding.
Several studies have shown that learning in one’s mother tongue is very effective and enhances understanding. Imagine learning all those complex scientific and technological terms in your mother tongue; I am sure you would understand a lot more.
Language barriers are among the major obstacles to effective curriculum implementation. This is a good development, particularly given that Nigeria’s National Policy on Education recognises the importance of using local languages at the pre-primary and primary levels of education.

I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!
OpenAI trained AI agents to play hide-and-seek. Instead of playing fair, the seekers exploited the game's physics engine to launch themselves over walls using a box like a surfboard. 🏄♂️🤖

Researchers noticed image recognition models succeeded when cows stood in pastures, but completely failed when a cow stood on a sandy beach. Without green grass, the AI assumed the cow was a boat or a rock. 🐄🏖️

Just started working on this new Machine learning project of about 2M rows. First time using dvc (Data Version Control) and parquet.
1962, NASA’s Mariner 1 spacecraft veered off course and had to be destroyed 293 seconds after launch.The culprit?A programmer accidentally missed a single superscript hyphen(-)in the guidance math code.The New York Times famously called it the most expensive hyphen in history

When functions begin to dance, even the world’s greatest dancers lose the rhythm of their steps.
Everyone thinks Machine Learning engineers spend all day building futuristic neural networks. In reality, Data Scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning messy CSV files and fixing missing NaN values, and the remaining 20% of their time complaining about cleaning messy CSV.
In 2013, a researcher programmed a machine learning algorithm to figure out how to play NES games without losing. When it got to Tetris and the blocks stacked all the way to the top, the AI realized the only way to avoid a "Game Over" was to hit the pause button forever.

When Linus Torvalds created Git in 2005, he named it after British slang for an "unpleasant, stubborn, or annoying person." Anyone who has ever spent two hours fighting a mysterious merge conflict knows the name is 100% accurate. 🌿😤

The world's very first webcam wasn't invented for security or video calls it was built at Cambridge University in 1991 solely so computer scientists could check if the breakroom coffee pot was empty without walking down the stairs. Laziness truly drives innovation! ☕📷

Reporting live from Bangkok 👌
I joined BBC Focus on Africa TV to discuss the key conversations and takeaways from this year’s World Bank–IMF meetings, particularly for African countries.
I also had the rare opportunity to speak with UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed about her assessment of this year’s meetings.
In 1947, engineers found an actual dead moth stuck inside a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer, causing it to malfunction. They taped the moth into their logbook with the note: "First actual case of bug being found." Debugging has been stressful ever since. 🦋💻

Nigerian scientist Abdullahi Ibrahim Uba, who is pursuing his academic and research career in Turkey, has announced his inclusion in the 2026 World’s Top 2% Scientists list compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier.
Uba was listed in the field of Chemistry, specifically under Medicinal and Biomolecular Chemistry, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of his research activities.
Reacting to the recognition, he said he was somewhat surprised by the classification, explaining that his research extends across several interconnected scientific fields, including chemistry, biology, bioinformatics, computational biology and drug discovery.
He noted that his work often lies at the intersection of these disciplines, where researchers combine different approaches to investigate complex scientific questions and advance knowledge.
Uba also suggested that future editions of the ranking might classify his research under Biology, particularly Bioinformatics or Computational Biology, depending on how his multidisciplinary work is categorised.
Reflecting on the experience, he emphasised that scientific discovery often occurs where different disciplines meet, allowing researchers to explore problems beyond the boundaries of traditional academic fields.
His recognition highlights the contributions of Nigerian researchers working internationally and pursuing research that connects multiple areas of science.
🇳🇬 From Kano to Turkey, Abdullahi Ibrahim Uba’s recognition adds another Nigerian name to the international scientific research landscape.
Campus Reform Nigeria (CRN) celebrates Nigerians contributing to research, innovation and academic development around the world.
