We are getting there

Beautiful Igbo damsels making us proud while saraki and bubu are doing dog fight on our heads

Igbo Amaka!!! Blessed people.

Any time I hear this type of news, it serves as a reminder that white people are not naturally better than us. We get them defeated in an education occurring in their own language where they already have an advantage. This clearly proves we are more intelligent. No further proof is required cause these girls have proved it.

Imagine what would happen when we use our own language to acquire this education. When we do so, white people will never "see our break light" ever again. We will give them a very long gap. The table will turn.

Just think about it.

Igbo Kwenu!! Skull miners will not like this.

this is awesome

TRIBALISM OMAKA

How? When?

Very impressive.

The Tech Industry is Not Entirely Male Dominated

It is true that a large percentage of the tech industry is made up of men, but the industry is not completely male dominated. For example, the data science field of the tech industry is mostly made up of men, but the design fields have a larger percentage of women. As much as there might be a lot of men in the tech industry, there is still room for women who are passionate about tech.
