They won’t do any coastal road. They just want to connect their businesses along the Lekki-VI corridor and make some money while at it.
I wrote to the National Assembly on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road. It’s a moment of truth and whether they will rise in defense of the public interest in this matter, remains to be seen.

Decided to play chess today. Graphics need a lot of help but free virtual coins is a good incentive I guess

Thanking the Doctors instead of just doing thanksgiving in church with no mention of the actual doctors that did the work
Eight years ago I was terminally diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in both lungs and lymph nodes. Drs Oladipo and Carser with oncology team at Belfast City Cancer Centre said hold my beer...today I was discharged, which is....nice

I am willing to bet $1000 that this is inaccurate. 18mins 5k is close to elite level not for the average joey
5k in 18 minutes. Yeah, i’m a beast.

Glad to see all the actual developers (not gpt devs) here show restraints and not run to Claude or codex to spin up their own sims world to rival this one and actually support the real support for the product. This is how i remember Twitter tech community to be before ai came around. There’s still a lot more ideas out there to build and have fun with after this.

Spend 330k monthly on fuel is not a sustainable way to live. Seems getting those Chinese cars might be the smarter decision

If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. pbs.org/newshour/polit… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

We are sad to announce that Web3Bridge has closed up shop. For the past seven years, Web3Bridge has dedicated itself to training developers from different parts of Africa. It has been an incredible journey for all of us. We have watched people walk through our doors with little more than curiosity and leave as developers, builders, founders and contributors to an ecosystem that was still finding its feet. But over the years, we have also seen something else. We have seen the ecosystem change. We have seen the needs of our community change. And we have had to ask ourselves a very important question: Is training developers enough anymore? So, as we cross into our seventh year, we have decided to….. stay tuned.

I'm spending the next 8 weeks going deep on LLM inference. KV cache, batching, quantization, speculative decoding, CUDA, AMD ROCm and Triton kernels, and a small inference engine in Rust by the end. Everything gets built in the open and measured. I'll post what I find here.

lol. I guess its rocket science now
Some of you are here typing epistle about ⁠@investbamboo⁠ server crashing, as if your own backend infrastructure isn’t hanging on by prayers and free-tier Supabase limits. You think building an investment app is the same as OPay or Uber where people are hailing keke every second? Bamboo is for investing, not urgent 2k transactions happening every milliseconds. If you expect them to over-provision servers 24/7 just in case a massive, once-in-a-blue-moon market event like Dangote’s IPO happens, then I am sorry but you’ve not built system before. Because, no one scales an app like that especially in a market like Nigeria. Let’s be serious pls…

“You have money, so you’ll be fine.” Lmao. When my mum broke her ankle, after multiple hospital referrals including LASUTH, Igbobi asked us for ₦1 MILLION upfront before we could even get bed space. Not surgery. Not treatment. Bed space. Nigeria’s healthcare system will humble you and your bank account together. Ojú máa ti owó ẹ.
