Any great explanations for why the default catering menu options at certain Nigerian functions are either Nigerian or Chinese food. How did Chinese food get such a strong foothold? Why not Indian, or Lebanese, or an others?
The scammers have also gotten so dependent on AI that they've lost their sophistication and are now running lazy scampaigns.
This post should have a minimum of 10 million views, and needs to be forwarded to every early to mid career professional (senior ones who don’t know this are already lost), every job hunter, every university student across Nigeria.
More people should speak on this topic.
Our production team started a little side project of renting out our office space & production studio to other companies on our work from home days. Love to see when team members demonstrate resourcefulness. Interesting we’ve become one of the few quality facilities for content.

Shout out to the @ElevenLabs team. Our account got compromised 2 days ago. We reached out to support, they looked into it immediately, issued a refund and saved us from having to jump through hoops to get help.
What’s the best data source to find out how many companies are headquartered in the top 10-20 African countries with above 50 employees? Or perhaps the data source varies by country. Seems like a lot of people are pointing to LinkedIn - is there nothing else that’s accurate?

What's the best app that reads aloud long articles or posts on X, LinkedIn, or any other media so that I can listen when I’m in a position where reading is tough (eg while driving)?

If you're a @talstackafrica customer, you should have received a message from my team announcing our Time Off by Talstack, a simpler and more intuitive way to manage employee time off and leave. Pop over to the Talstack platform, look at the left navigation bar and give it a spin!

The number of Cape Verde jerseys I’ve seen worn by Cape Verdians around Portugal since the World Cup is quite unbelievable. You can see the pride with which they wear that jersey. Football can be such a powerful force, when you have a national team that does the hard work.

Looking for someone who can give a logical / technical / fact-based explanation for why the internet connection in #Nigeria is down or problematic for so much of the time.
Replying to @Babajiide
@Babajiide this supports your argument re: equity.
Yesterday my barber, who’s from Cape Verde, asked me how Nigeria is doing this World Cup. I noticed that my mouth all of a sudden dried up and the saliva stopped flowing. How do I tell him? I just pretended to sleep off on the chair and let him keep cutting my hair.
Am I one of the only people left who has refused to get the premium account on X?
I’m definitely paying dearly for it, as all of my posts now only have a handful of interactions (whereas in the past it was thousands to tens of thousands on each post).
What’s the hack?

No better feeling than having an engaged customer giving you product feedback, then your engineering team getting it done within 24 hours, and you being able to come back to the customer saying “done!”
2026, we are ready for you. You can come now.
