My Uber just got pulled over by SARS officials. It was f@*king scary! 5 criminal-looking, thug-like individuals in an unmarked commercial bus (danfo). Searched the 2 of the 3 phones I was with, asked me to log in to my laptop (I politely asked "Why?") #EndSARS #StopRobbingUs. 1/n.

Truly grateful for the opportunity I had working with an amazing team supporting developer communities across Africa. Saying goodbye was hard. Thankful to have been welcomed by another amazing team supporting the @googledevgroups & @googledevexpert programs in US & Canada.

Whataboutism Pro Max. They asked you about "election rigging" you answered with "Labour Party". When I tell you that "we the 1%" are Nigeria's biggest problem, some of you will start hauling insults at me, while a few others will ask for an explanation. The most problematic.

It is e-ther you founded 2 unicorns or you didn't. There's nothing like "I co-founded 2 unicorns". The founders of both unicorns don't even make noise and they constantly tweet sense. Let us see you found 1 gazelle. I've said what you all have shied away from saying.

Hello @js_tut, . We really don't need you, hence we really don't want you to #CodifyNigeria. Do the honourable thing and take a bow, and walk away. However, if (since) you do have ulterior motives, as most of us have come to realise, don't @ me in any of your tweets. Aniedi.

Successful first day as a Software Engineer @Twitter! ππΎ. I'm very grateful to have finally found a new home here. I look forward to working with so many brilliant people to make Twitter better, especially in these times. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen! ππΎ.

So, it may not seem so but through May & June, I was struggling to stay safe & sane. I attended, spoke at & hosted one too many webinars, kept tweeting, 'celebrated' my birthday, but my head wasn't in a good place. I'm much better now. Much, much better. Thankfully ππΎ.

Seems like "tech bros" & "tech baddies" have "snapped out of this" because "1 of us" has been asked to join "them". It is well.
On Saturday, March 18, 2023 someone gave the order for the orchestrated & state-sponsored, state-sanctioned and/or state-ignored widespread violence & voter intimidation that occurred. Dear @jidesanwoolu "Who Gave The Order?" #WhoGaveTheOrder. Or should we also "snap out of it"?

For the past 15 years of my active working life, I've always wanted to build stuff. By some stroke of 'luck', I've worked in roles at great tech companies - Dragnet, 234nEXt, Paga, Dragnet, Audax, Afro(Cab) & now Google, where I wasn't required to write code to get paid. 1/n.

I've been doing a great job of not taking the advice I give. A very good job. "Procrastination is the thief of time". "Done is better than perfect". "Ready. Fire. Aim". "Launch. Then iterate". "Just do it". "Finish what you start. Only start what you commit to finish". 1/2.

Once upon a time in Nigeria:. - you needed to go to NITEL office to make a call.- you would be given a tally number to queue before withdrawing money from your bank account.- if you were smart, you would bring a mat to the bank.- if your account was domiciled in Onitsha and you.

Like many software developers, African presidents, state/province governors, government officials etc. need to stop attending "meetups and conferences", sit down at home, and develop their countries, states and towns!. By the way my primary job function is to organize meetups. .

15+ years on in Nigerian "tech" and I have come to realize that there are "talkers" and there are "doers". The ecosystem needs both. When you need to get something done, don't listen to a talker. When brainstorming, don't ignore a talker. I respect those who "talk and do"!.

"When they go low, we go high". ~ @MichelleObama. Yesterday, July 15 2023, I finally attained the peace of mind and financial security, that I no longer need to depend on my 9 to 5 for the next 20 years of my life. If I got fired today, or I decided to resign, I'd be.

I'm going to put this out there for the record. I believe @js_tut is a scam artist. I believe his #CodifyNigeria project is a scam, very much like a Ponzi scheme. By calling him out, I believe we have shone the light on his antics. Or maybe I was wrong from the onset. 1/n.

@KehindeAzeez_ @ELMMIXE @Blecyn1 @asemota @iaboyeji @unicodeveloper No you don't need a mentor. You want one. Especially if you aren't pretty clear on the difference between mentors & role models. You need a hunger for knowledge. You need a passion for excellence. You need determination. You need a can-do spirit. You need to learn how to learn.

@iaboyeji Iyin, we didn't need to do this. The sad thing about spoken words and tweeted tweets is that we can't take them back (even if we edit or delete them). At the end, we both lost and nobody won. Sincere apologies for dragging you through this. I think as young people.
