I was thinking about my 2+ years experience with teaching STEM subjects to secondary school students, then I realized that some of the challenges women in STEM in Nigeria face have deep cultural roots. My thoughts are in shared below as screen shots from my notepad .

We still have the following; 1. 6 seats left at Yaba, Montgomery. 2. 5 seats left at Yaba, Alagomeji 3, 8 seats left at Ikeja. Please, it’s absolutely free. Free internet, free water and some spaces have biscuits and coffee. It’s for people looking for a space to work, charge their gadgets and get back in the grind. I know how hard it’s been with power and productivity in Lagos in the past few weeks and this is just a token of love. My only request is that you don’t damage the property and don’t go with a plus 1 unless approved. Kindly retweet a young freelancer, founder or an operator might need this. @Wizarab10 @neo_officialll
With the power situation getting worse, staying productive has become a real struggle. So we're opening up our Yaba office to remote founders and operators who need a reliable place to work, Monday to Friday. The details: •Location: Yaba •Parking is limited •Spaces are first come, first served •Please only reach out if you genuinely need it. If you have another workable option, kindly leave the spot for someone who doesn't. Interested? Send me a DM. Let's keep pushing for better, together.

Boko Haram Islamist jihadist terrorists in Nigeria kidnapped and beheaded Christian women and men from Gwoza in Borno April 2026. They sat the captives on the ground and cut their heads off while fellow terrorist Muslims chanted Allahu Akbar as the christians were decapitated.

My mom has carried this guilt her whole life, she’ll always say “If I know I for no open your ear.” The guilt has eaten her deeply. Every time she apologizes, she stays up all night with me, massages my shoulders and body when the pain starts, and sold almost everything she owns to always come through for me. You don’t realize what you’re doing for me. This is one of my biggest insecurities. I don’t know a better word than thank you. You decided to help a stranger just like that? I’m overwhelmed. I’ve been shaking since I got the estimate. I just ate something. I’m deeply grateful to you all. Thank you, thank you.

Geospatial Technology, GeoAI, GIS & Earth Observation/ Remote Sensing are at the heart of one of the most exciting frontiers in space technology…,🛰️🌍 Satellites orbiting hundreds of kilometres above Earth generate data that helps us monitor crops, predict floods, track deforestation, map cities, discover resources, and understand our changing planet. Combined with AI, this data becomes actionable intelligence, creating massive opportunities across agriculture, climate, infrastructure, defence, and countless other industries. 🚀 The space economy isn’t just about reaching other planets. It’s about unlocking the enormous potential of the data we collect from above our own. And we’re only scratching the surface #gischat

Building a career is not supposed to be fun. It's hard work. Boring, sweaty, tiring work Most people who have done great stuff, with successes you see on social media have compounded work overtime. It takes time and an unhealthy load of will power/dedication

A team of researchers, including @klbouman, has developed a new way to remove starlight from telescope data to reveal exoplanets hiding amongst the bright flares. Read more: caltech.edu/about/news/erasi…

Testing @Planet's amazing new AI app. I asked it for all the gravel airstrips in Canada’s north, for a project I'm working on. It found them in seconds. A constantly updated image database of the entire Earth. Super useful: ai.planet.com @Will4Planet

Excited to announce that Planet AI is generally available! You can 'ask the Earth' 💬🌎 Today's AI models have read the internet, but they haven't seen the world. The @planet AI app changes that. You can now ask questions directly to a 10+ year, 3,000+ layer archive of daily satellite imagery. During beta, we've seen: 🌾 Farmers boosting crop yields 🚒 First responders tracking disaster paths 🛡️ Security teams uncovering emerging risks 🌲 Park rangers halting illegal deforestation in real time We're putting satellite intelligence into more hands, helping more people see what's happening on Earth and make better decisions. Search. Analyse. Act. What questions do you have? Try it now: ai.planet.com/?utm_campaign=…

Reading about the Learjet 60 crash, it occurs to me that some of the flight delays of Nigerian airlines that we complain about must be due to trying to avoid bad weather. Does anyone here know about the reasons?

She is NOT dull, children learn in different ways the first child must be a visual learner great memory and she’s naturally sharp, the second may need to learn through active engagement and she’s clearly anxious as well.
This irritated me so bad 😫😭😭😭😭

Limited additions of GEO capacity have helped sustain pricing in Sub-Saharan Africa, while Indonesia illustrates how the introduction of new high-throughput satellite capacity can rapidly alter pricing dynamics and customer expectations... ow.ly/jkSX5103ES4 #Satellite

Our first article of the month spotlights the brilliance of Prof. Ayodele Awojobi, a polymath, activist and the man who built the Autonov 1. In 1974, at just 37, he became the youngest professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Lagos. No one carried his research on. Awojobi left behind serious work on vibration and mechanical waves, but no institution to carry it forward. The piece asks what that says about the lack of scientific continuity in Nigeria, and what it costs us. Read the full piece: link in the comments.
