@joe_darko would be great to have you on this. I'm sure you have a lesson or two to share about your journey so far in the Tech space.😉

Yesterday I posted the Ewe, here comes the Twi.
Voice Translation + Avatar Gen with Lipsync from English to Twi using the Next Generation @KhayaAI Text to Speech.
Speak once in English & have it localized all across Africa. Would you use this? 🤔

Big Chief @asemota. I'm not sure if you've seen this TEDx talk by @BBSimons. I kept thinking about your TEDx talk about informal system and how they hold so much potential.

One month this week in my new role at @Microsoft.
Grateful for the opportunity to be part of an incredibly smart and talented team who are at the forefront of deploying innovative solutions in the Cloud Operations+Innovation organisation at Microsoft.
To many more milestones.
Each time I read Big Chief @asemota's tweets like this one, I am more convinced he shouldn't write a traditional book; rather he should publish compedium of his advenures, observations, deep cogitations etc.
This way, we get a cocktail of themes and topics. Big Chief's Compendium must happen though. We wait patiently. 😊
UK people are hilarious, man!! I still remember going to visit my cousin in London in 2004 and they put on a show the first night. We even went to a party that weekend and I thought life was great. By Monday, everyone dipped and the house became suddenly cold because of lack of heating. This was in September and almost autumn. I discovered that the gas ran out and they were asking me for 10 quid to pay 😂🤣🤣
Five people living in a house couldn’t come up with money for gas. I never knew there was a pay as you go arrangement for that type of thing.
My best man eventually came from Manchester, saw the situation and quickly relocated me ASAP! 😂🤣🤣
Even when I was a poor student, I avoided London. The hustler life there is on another level.
I once had to be there for a one month course and the person who told me he was arranging for me to get and pay for a short let studio flat was actually the owner of the property but behaving like an agent. He charged me the maximum possible and made me think he was doing me a favor as that was the last flat available. I later discovered that the building was half empty as I met the developer and owner of most of the flats in an elevator.
We became friends, he invited me to join him and his boyfriend for drinks in the penthouse. I asked, you mean girlfriend? He said, “no, I am gay.” He really wanted to discuss tech but I politely declined as I had so much work to do that period. He gave me his card and it turned out he was also a very wealthy tech investor.
In one city, I met the very poor and the very rich. They were all still hustlers.
My good friend, @EliotPence, just raised $100M series A for his company @DominionDynamic. Congratulations, bro. Super proud of you.

We hear it every time a major global tournament rolls around: "Sports unite the world. We create a level playing field where the best of the best compete as equals."
But how can we talk about equity when the country of birth remains the ultimate gatekeeper?
Look at the heartbreaking situation with Omar Abdulkadir Artan. He worked his way from the ground up to be officially named Africa's Best Referee, winning the CAF Referee of the Year award. He earned his spot to make history as the first Somali referee at the World Cup. He had the talent, the credentials, and a valid tournament visa. Yet, upon landing in the host country, he was denied entry at the border and sent back. A lifetime of elite preparation was undone by geopolitics he has zero control over.
This is not an isolated incident. Look at what happened to Africa's fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, at the World Athletics Championships. While his competitors were on site two weeks early to acclimate and train, Omanyala was handed his visa less than 24 hours before the competition. He endured an 18-hour flight, landed, and arrived at the stadium less than three hours before his 100m heat.
Around that same time, Ghana's elite sprint stars, Benjamin Azamati and Joseph Paul Amoah, along with the national 4x100m relay team, were left stranded for weeks by bureaucratic visa gridlock. Their critical championship training camps were shattered, and they were forced to fight through administrative exhaustion just to get to the starting line.
When the starting gun fires under those conditions, can we honestly say the competition is fair? If one athlete gets a fortnight of world-class preparation and another has less than three hours to clear customs, shake off a massive flight, and rush directly onto the track, the outcome isn't just about merit. It is about privilege.
We cannot celebrate the "best in the world" when the platform itself denies equal opportunity to get to the starting line.
If global sporting bodies, whether in football, athletics, or beyond, are going to lean heavily on the rhetoric of equity and inclusion, they must take accountability for the logistics. Host nations cannot be allowed to use blanket geopolitical restrictions to lock out vetted, elite professionals who have earned their place on the world stage.
True equity isn't just an open track or a green pitch. True equity is ensuring that an individual's talent, hard work, and excellence matter more than the passport they hold.
Until we fix the systemic barriers at the border, the claim that global sports are a true meritocracy is just rhetoric.

Which languages do you want to see. We are working towards full coverage of 100% of all modalities for 36 African Languages covering over 1 billion Africans by end of the year
Assistant is an Ewe, Twi prototype that will scale across 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Which language would you like to see?
Today's the birthday of my fellow co-founder of @KumasiHive. @JorgeAppiah is a visionary leader and a hands-on technical expert in the EV space.
A few years ago, we had a vision to build the first hardware innovation hub in Ghana, to spearheaded the rapid prototyping of ideas, entrepreneurship development and to provide co-working spaces for startups.
I'm celebrating George Kwadwo Appiah today because he's managed to spearheaded impactful projects for Ghana's youth.
Happy Birthday, bro. More wins for this year year.🎊🎉😊
Most Ghanaians don't know the legendary status of @pazunre. Let me share a short story. While working at Google, a colleague, whom I had just met that week, scheduled for us to have lunch to get to know more about what we each did at work.
During our conversation at lunch, I got to find out he was a team lead for some projects covering Google translate. He spoke of the complexity getting their AI engines to understand the nuances embedded in translating African languages.
Knowing the momentous work @pazunre is doing with @GhanaNLP and Khaya app, I mentioned that I had a friend who had built an app for Ghanaian languages, and was expanding to other countries; he went to MIT and had a PhD. My colleague interjected with, "is it Paul? With the Khaya App?".
My colleague then mentioned that indeed Khaya App had the best translation on the market for Ghanaian languages and that Paul is someone who has an incredible reputation amongst the AI, ML research scientists at Google.
They knew who he was. And had such reverence for him. This guy spoke of Dr. Pushkin and @moorekwesi like some legends in the game. That was a very proud Ghanaian moment for me.
Where am I going with all this? Let's leverage such brains as a country. Cos others have seen what they have to offer and are seriously considering of poaching them.There many like Dr. Pushkin n Dr. Moore out there who can help shape the future fortunes of Ghana.
