Most institutions we speak to share the same quiet problem.
Brilliant courses. Qualified lecturers. Real credibility. But learners beyond the campus walls can't reach them.

Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.
Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.
No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.
After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.
Know your postcode: postcode.gov.ng
Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map.
My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister @bosuntijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible.
Thank you to the NIPOST @nipostngn family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.

I’m looking for technical builders working with AI to join us at TSG Labs.
People who can talk to customers, prototype solutions, build the integrations, and get them into production.
We’re building 0→1 products across AI and fintech, with Paystack’s infrastructure, distribution, and ecosystem behind us.
If you’re high-agency, deeply technical, and happiest building from first principles, I’d love to hear from you.
Apply below ↓
You can now pay for things in Africa directly from your AI agent.
Today we’re introducing Paystack Index, the easiest way to check out with Paystack merchants through Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, and any AI agent.
At launch, you can:
→ Buy airtime: “Buy ₦500 MTN airtime for 080…”
→ Send money with @zapbypaystack: “Send ₦25k to…”
→ Buy food with @ChowdeckHQ: “Order jollof under ₦3k near me”
As more merchants join the Index, you’ll be able to do more, from booking rides and ordering groceries to paying utility bills, quickly and securely.
Paystack Index is now available in Nigeria, with more African markets coming soon.
An experimental product from Paystack and TSG Labs.

I am writing an 8-part series on authentication and authorisation with microservices, using a real product I built as a case study.
A huge percentage of developers never get to see microservices up close, to get to know what it feels like. They know "monolith before microservices" but the "whys" isn't ingrained in experience or anything they watched up close. I am giving folks that opportunity.
Also, if you've built systems like this before, this is a good chance to learn another way of doing things.
I won't have a set cadence on the posts but I'll be as regular as I can.

I built something you will absolutely love.
It is called The Old Ways. Can see it at theoldways.app
You know those technical arguments where two developers are convinced the other has no idea what they are talking about?
Now you can settle them properly.
Challenge them to a coding duel. Same problem. Correctness, execution time, completion time and code length decide who wins.
Challenge a friend, a stranger, or one of the bots. There is even The Ancient One, if you can get it to accept your challenge.

The World Cup just ended, and billions of dollars flowed through prediction markets as traders priced the outcome in real time.
I built bayse-markets, a lightweight Python SDK for developers and quants building on the Bayse prediction market @baysemarkets .
Clean. Fast. Dead simple.

I am happy to announce Hookdrop
This is for every developer and team who's ever debugged a Stripe or Paystack webhook by squinting at logs and praying.
Debugging webhooks shouldn't mean babysitting a provider dashboard.
hookdrop gives you a permanent URL, so every webhook that hits it shows up instantly, live.
Click it, see the full payload data, and verify their signature is actually real (most tools don't even do this part).
Then replay it straight to your localhost. No need to trigger from the provider again every time you fix a bug.
Get started at:

My son will never meet the version of me that built @newcampushq And honestly, I wouldn't want him to.
That version was useful. High urgency, always on, constantly thinking about cash flow, hiring, survival.
For a long time I thought that was just what ambition looked like.
Then I became a dad and started noticing how many behaviours that help you build a company become liabilities everywhere else. Impatience. Inability to switch off. Measuring self-worth through output.
A lot of immigrant founders escape poverty. Very few escape scarcity.
That survival wiring got me through the early years. But I'm not sure it's something I want passed down unchanged. Because scarcity isn't always financial.
Sometimes it's the inability to feel safe even after you've already built safety. I still care about building at scale.
But these days I think more about what gets transferred unintentionally. Not money. Not equity. Patterns.
Some patterns are useful for building companies. Just not for building families.
