Jay | A Nigerian Girl Sends a Text Message
In Literature, Writing and Blogging • 4 min read A few years ago (I think it was 2018), on a certain evening, I was watching 21 Grams — a movie directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. He’s noteworthy for having directed at least three films nominated for Academy Awards in various categories — and he also directed The Revenant, which earned Leo...

Meet Amina the AI
In Technology • 3 min read Well yes, the image attached to this post was created with DALLE. After some interesting prompting and "description" engineering, I got something I was reasonably satisfied with. I thought it fitting to use a generative AI tool to create the image for a post announcing that we just shipped an LLM...

Colourblind - coffee black and egg white.
In People and Society • 4 min read I wasn't sure how to start this post, I'm sort of just going with the flow - but what I want to share is an experience I had about 25 years ago when my family and I used to live in Moscow, Russia. It was a short experience, it involved a Russian boy and a certain weird question. For some reason ...

The Luxury of being able to scream
In People and Society • 4 min read There's a couple of things you can't do indiscriminately in planes and airports post 9/11, and at the top of that list is scream. It might sound funny, but if you try it for fun just to create a false alarm and see people's reaction, you could get arrested. Not to pick on Nigeria, but thinking...

I tried Dall.E, here's what I think.
In Technology • 3 min read The image above was generated with DALL.E - I typed in "A blue sports car in a small village" and that's one of the images I got. The other variations it generated were pretty cool too.  So by now most of you know what DALL.E is and have probably tinkered around with it - but for those ...

You only have to be right once.
In Entrepreneurship • 5 min read The title of this post is not just a maxim used in business and entrepreneurship (or just life even), it's also the title of a book written by Randall Lane, the editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine who I had the opportunity to meet in 2015 at the Forbes U30 Summit. There's something about the s...

Meeting a billionaire
In Entrepreneurship • 4 min read I met Tim Draper in 2016 at a bootcamp for African tech entrepreneurs - the bootcamp was held in Accra, Ghana and I was attending as the team lead of my then startup called LLH. At LLH we built educational applications for high school students in Nigeria and West Africa, and we had been selec...

The first person to officially be cyber-bullied
In People and Society • 4 min read The first time I heard the name "Monica Lewinsky" I was seated in a fairly large sunday-school hall in the church I used to attend at the time - the guy heading the sermon was trying to explain something he just mentioned and he used the "Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky" story as an example. The f...

WHAT PRAYER DOES THE CASKET MAKER SAY? OR, THE BROKEN WINDOW FALLACY
In The Economy • 4 min read Ever since I was old enough to know what a casket is, and who casket makers are, I’ve always wondered – when a casket maker says a prayer for his business, what exactly does he say? Does he pray that more people in his town die so that he gets more patronage? Or does he pray “God, when people ...
