Everyday I am glad I have been able to and still continue to build on a global and local stage.
Senior somewhere, mid-level elsewhere. Corporate is weird man.

This amazing! Let’s get it!
Back in 2018, open source changed my life.
It gave me opportunities, a community, and a chance to build something that people around the world could use.
But there was a problem: it wasn't sustainable for me to do open source full-time.
And I still wish I could.
I know I'm not the only one.
Across Africa, there are developers and maintainers building libraries, frameworks, tools, and infrastructure that deserve more recognition and financial support.
So I built something for us.
Introducing flossafrica.com.
A platform making it easier for open-source creators and maintainers in Africa to get discovered, receive sponsorships, and sustain the work they do.
You get visibility.
Your projects get a place to be discovered.
And patrons can support your work without jumping through hoops.
Powered by @bachs_hq Connect, maintainers receive 100% of the money patrons sponsor, accessible same day for Naira sponsorships.
No complicated funding process. Just people supporting the software that makes the internet, businesses, and our communities work.
I believe Africa needs both:
→ Builders creating profitable products. Find them on pairlore.com.
→ Builders creating the open-source foundations and critical software that others depend on.
Both deserve a place in Africa's technology story.
@flossafrica is for the second group.
If you're an African open-source maintainer, I'd love to see what you're building, go add your projects and setup your account to receive funds.
And if you believe open source deserves better support on the continent, go fund a maintainer on FLOSSAfrica or at the very least, help me spread the word.
Open source changed my life. I want to help make it sustainable for the next generation of African builders.

Hello everyone. I am building a regulatory intelligence tool to solve Nigeria's policy inconsistency woes among other solutions, and I need your help at this stage, particularly from founders, executives, legal professionals, and compliance officers, with a 3-minute survey.
If you qualify for the aforementioned roles (i.e. founders, executives, legal professionals, and compliance officers), click the link below to take the survey.
If you know someone who qualifies, kindly pass the link along to them.
Early respondents get first priority access to what we build next.
Take the 3-minute survey.

Super excited for this one! Already prepping my talk.
Sailsconf began online. We took that energy to Sailsconf Africa.
Now, we’re bringing the community back together—wherever you are.
#Sailsconf2026 is coming October 22nd - 25th, and it will be a celebration of talks from Africa and globally.

Shoutout @me256ow!
“These are my folks. These are my people.”
For @me256ow, discovering @solana wasn’t just about exploring a new ecosystem.
It also meant finding builders whose curiosity made her want to dig deeper too.
That journey took her through three Turbin3 programs, and now she’s helping other builders get going as an assistant instructor.
Catch Meowy’s story, from Ethereum to Solana and everything she’s learning along the way👇

So can we really have an online technical conference as Sailsconf 2026? All planning and speakers gotten this month
It will be free but attendees can donate when getting their tickets and sourcing for sponsors as well
We need highly technical talks from the best of the best in our industry both home and abroad topics AI, Open Source, Web Development, FinTech engineering
@Samson_Goddy, @toby_solutions, @mikermcneil, @chinedu_10 @1FineBreed, @olanetsoft @heyOnuoha, @thesegunadebayo how far are you all game?
I’ll set it up now if this tweet gets a 100 likes.
I want to see all your deep open source works
Nigeria has more people working in tech today than ever before, but somehow we have fewer technical meetups than we did years ago.
I keep wondering why.

Super excited to be joining the @solanaturbine Builders Cohort Q3 2026! 🚀
Really looking forward to going deeper into Solana, Web3 and expanding my Developer Relations work further into the Web3 ecosystem.
The prerequisite assessment was quite an experience but I thank God it all came together
Big thanks to @toby_solutions for putting me onto this opportunity.

Why is everyone on my TL crashing out over a book’s title?
Did anyone finish the book already that fast? She just dropped it right?

I was researching abstractions to consolidate our form handling and validation boilerplate, and trust Haskell, there are Academic papers on the topic.
Going down the rabbit hole now. Apparently, forms are Applicative and not Monadic.
Also learning about selective-functors as they map well to validating forms.
