Coding and software engineering aren’t the same. Coding is just implementation and engineering is about designing scalable systems that survive failure and evolve overtime.
AI has lowered the barrier to building softwares, but doesn’t take away the need for engineering judgement, so it’s not about the best prompt writer.
The winners are those who understand systems deeply and can use AI as leverage to build faster, better, and more reliably.
Lagos is positioning itself as West Africa’s digital hub, with more than 20 operational data facilities and a market valued at $374m this year, drawing global firms including Google.
There is a reason I have remained consistent about my admiration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Love him or hate him, one thing nobody can take away from that man is COURAGE, RESILIENCE, STRATEGY, POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE, and the uncommon ability to survive storms that would have buried weaker men long ago.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not just my favorite President. He is my HERO, my political mentor from afar, and the only presidential candidate I openly supported because I understand the difference between noise makers and nation builders.
This is a man who fought for democracy during the dark military era when many loud voices today were hiding under beds, abroad, or negotiating survival. A man who was forced into exile because he stood against military dictatorship and tyranny. Yet he returned stronger, wiser, and more determined.
Before politics, Tinubu was not a roadside politician looking for government money. He worked in the corporate world and built himself professionally. He worked with Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, GTE Services Corporation, and later ExxonMobil as an accountant and financial expert before entering full time politics. That foundation matters because leadership without exposure and competence becomes dangerous experimentation.
From Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Governor of Lagos State, and now President and Commander in Chief, his political journey was not built overnight. It was built through sacrifice, strategic thinking, networking, grassroots structures, resilience, and long term vision.
As Governor of Lagos State, he transformed Lagos into the economic heartbeat of Nigeria. Many of the people governing different states today either passed through his political structure or learned governance from his school of leadership. Whether people admit it publicly or not, Bola Ahmed Tinubu changed the political architecture of modern Nigeria.
Despite endless attacks, betrayals, propaganda, health rumors, orchestrated plots, political gang ups, and attempts to destroy his image for decades, the man is still standing. Still fighting. Still strategizing. Still leading Africa’s most difficult democracy.
That level of resilience is not ordinary, it is divine grace and there’s nothing anyone can do about it until when God is done with him.
People underestimate what it means to survive Nigerian politics for decades without being politically buried. Nigerian politics is not child’s play. It is one of the toughest political terrains in the world. Yet Bola Ahmed Tinubu remained relevant from NADECO struggles to the presidency.
That alone deserves study in political science classes globally.
What inspires me most is not perfection because no human being is perfect. It is his ability to absorb pressure, survive storms, build structures, empower people, recover from attacks, and continue moving forward while others panic emotionally.
Leadership is not about who shouts the loudest online. Leadership is about endurance, strategy, sacrifice, institution building, and the ability to carry pressure without collapsing.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu represents resilience, political courage, strategic leadership, and survival against all odds.
That is why he remains my number 1 hero in Nigeria politics today.
At this point, all I pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is good health, strength, divine wisdom, and longevity. With those firmly in place, Nigeria will be very well served beyond 2031. Resilience, experience, courage, and strategic leadership are not learned overnight, they are built through sacrifice, storms, and survival.

There is something about Nigeria 🇳🇬 that someone needs to research: its ability to elicit speech in non verbal autistic children. A friend just told me about her 5 year old daughter, who had never uttered a word while they were in Canada. However, after just few months in Nigeria
Nice read!
I strongly believe that the life of an average citizen can be better if we have better organized communities at the grassroots that demand accountability from the LG leadership and able to influence who emerges as candidates or win elections.
Lagos is a good case study.
We already have Community Development Associations (CDAs) across many communities. They already meet and contribute to the development of the community.
We need to take it a step further and coordinate.
Imagine having an umbrella body/structure that where every CDA is represented by its chairman and secretary. The umbrella body could:
1. Demand transparency and accountability from the LG
2. Monitor projects, budgets, and actual process
3. Engage the LG leadership regularly to discuss on community priorities.
4. Become an important/respective voice in party candidacy.
5. Sensitize people on the need to take local government elections seriously.
6. Use lawful civic pressure to escalate failures when leadership underperforms.
This is one practical way the middle class can organize and move beyond commentary and play a role in nation building
I have just spent four days in Akwa Ibom State and I am still processing what I saw.
The people are extraordinary. The climate is perfect. The pace of development is unlike anything I have witnessed in Nigeria in recent memory. An international airport. A state owned airline. A deep sea port. World class hospitality. And a warmth that makes you want to stay.
The strange thing is that most of the world has no idea this place exists in the way that it does. That is about to change.
Governor Pastor Umo Eno is building something real. And I was given four days to see all of it up close.
Stay with me this week. I have a lot to share.
No other tycoon in Africa has the balance-sheet to fund such wide-ranging projects. But whether it is best for the continent to have a single Ambani or Rockefeller, rather than a panoply of competing moguls, is far from clear economist.com/middle-east-an…
Man.
A few years ago, I was drinking at this joint I normally drink at in G.R.A when this young waitress served. Looked all of 17 & it was quite late. I was a bit bothered. She looked way too young. So I asked her. She was 17. Pretty young girl...
@unclebigbay143 Yup! Most times, whatever I do during that period is good for the day. I don’t do any night work except when really really really necessary.
