No body is forcing anybody. If Ikwerre man's language is same as that of an Owerri or Umuahia man but he claims not to be Igbo. The Owerri or Umuahia man will surely be confused but will only keep silent and walk away considering the Ikwerre man a fool.

Is language the main yardstick in identifying someone's tribe? Are Brazilians Portuguese? Are Brazilians Yoruba? Are Switzerlanders Germans? Language is language. Nothing more nothing less. And for your information, an Igbo man cannot understand Ikwerre language. They're two different languages with some similar words

Silas Adekunle is the co-founder of Awarri, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) research lab startup. Alongside his partner, Eniola Edun, Adekunle established Awarri to ensure Africans have representation in the rapidly evolving field of AI.

Awarri was born out of the need to democratise access to AI and robotics technology across the continent. The startup uses MekaMon, an innovative gaming robot, as a tool to inspire young tech enthusiasts and spark interest in STEM fields.

MekaMon is a four-legged robot that moves like a real creature, bringing video games to life through robotics and augmented reality. An app developed alongside MekaMon allowed users to control the robot and enjoy an even richer gaming experience.

Last year, Bosun Tijani, Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Communication, and Digital Economy, announced a partnership with Awarri to build Nigeria’s own large language model (LLM).

“Awarri, along with nonprofit Data.org and two government bodies, will build an LLM trained in five low-resource languages and accented English,” the minister stated.

Before founding Awarri, Adekunle and Edun were more prominent in the gaming industry. Edun had launched Gamr Africa, a startup aimed at advancing gaming culture in Lagos, while Adekunle gained international recognition through Reach Robotics. Reach Robotics achieved a major milestone when it signed a deal with Apple for the distribution of MekaMon.

Awarri later acquired the rights to MekaMon, integrating the robot into Nigerian schools to teach children computer science and coding skills. “MekaMon has been a powerful tool in introducing students to technology in a hands-on and engaging way,” Edun noted.

Continuing its mission of fostering AI talent, Awarri launched a data annotation lab in Ikorodu, Lagos, in November 2023. The lab is designed to serve as an AI talent development hub, particularly for the densely populated suburban area.

In the same year, it launched LangEasy, a platform that allows anyone with a smartphone to help train the model through voice and text inputs. LangEasy gives users sentences to read aloud and asks them to save the audio on the app. The app will help crowdsource data for Awarri’s LLM.

Point to note! He is not the world's highest paid robotic engineer. Not everyone's salary is public. Some are kept secret. Some are even paid by proxy just to avoid scrutiny

Is it FG that is in control of Lagos shorelines?
Shoreline where he errect facilities belongs to the state not the ocean.

The recent Supreme Court judgment gave the right of the ownership of the shoreline to the Federal Government under the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), 250 meters from the point of the shoreline belongs to the FG under NIWA which means the land belongs to the FG.14 Apr 2024

All shorelines belong to the FG. That was why they had the powers to destroy landmarks beach. Just because they don't have interest in it today doesn't mean they will not tomorrow

Federal character complainers! The list is biased! All of them from SS and at that four Yoruba. Trump should be called to order

Ojiofor:
Yo

Why attack the businessman when the problem is between two groups claiming ownership of the land?
I am sure he does not ask for your pity.Please pity yourself that is struggling to buy a cup of rice.

if you had read his comment carefully, you would know that he is not attacking him but warning him of his greed. All shoreline up to 250m belongs to the FG and state governors have no say over it. Let him be wise this time. We don't want to hear that $500 million property was destroyed by the FG due to trespass of land

I have never been the enthusiastic type when it comes to Japa, but the realities on ground in the country leaves one with little or no choice to look elsewhere for greener pastures. I have about 7m worth of landed properties, and I want to do away with it and relocate before this country leaves me with nothing at all. I graduated with a 2:1 from a federal university.

Which country affords a better opportunity for someone looking for an MSc, putting all circumstances into perspective?

Oga! Let me tell you the painful truth. If you cannot make it with 7m in Nigeria, a country where you're well grounded and know the ins and outs, then forget it, you're wasting your time to japa.
If you have a well sort after skill fine but if not, you're wasting you time and money

How can you know how many children your cousin on another continent have? Can't they contact the foooqin cousin to charge them with fraud?

May God give me the temperament to not slap anyone that ask me stupid question because I was born her and want to migrate.

Oga, stop supporting nonsense. If he doesn't know then how did he fill it in the form. You should know that all the questions asked, answers have been provided by you previously.

Manny21:
We only see statistics, the money will never get into the system

One thing you guys should know is that there are homeless and beggar citizens in developed countries. You need a key to tap from the system.
Therefore, it's not about what comes into the system but what you can take from it. The easiest way to do this is to learn a useful skill.

Jostoman:
A government that always go after anybody that speak the truth to them.

Always playing dirty and politics of bitterness.

Did you even read the write-up at all. Where in it was government mentioned!
The pain is real

MTNnews:
Lunatics insulting Gbaaja for doing all the projects he did in Surulere will be no where to insult this cursed Abaribe that as been swindling their farhers n mothers for over 20 years in Igboland, collecting constituency allowance with no single project to show.

The oloriburuku bustard no even gree share ordinary grinding machine talk more of motorcycle or Marwa. I weep for the fools n lunatics supporting this cursed bastard.

His cover up is to stand as surety for MNK. When he comes out to say " I will stand surety for MNK" most of his constituency forget their senses in their pocket and start hailing him as the best thing after fried rice.

Umuinyioku:
ENDSARS protests was a pan Nigerian action by aggrieved Nigerian youths against the police.

It's therefore foolhardy to ascribe whatever happened to Nnamdi KANU or Igbos.

Hope you heard the tapes

Mitsurugi:
A case in court. Come have you heard of nolle prosequi before?

The houses that were burnt! The people that were killed, the properties destroyed! All these will listen to nolle prosequi abi!
Oga! This is not the time to set this kind of precedence in Nigeria.
If tomorrow Bello Turgi is arrested and taken to court, then a northern president grants him a "nolle prosequi" Do you think the South will take it lying low?
Kanu is not too big to be sentenced. Let the case continue

Umuinyioku:
Childish question!

What's the role of the president in nation building. Is it not to amend and attend urgent national issues?

You have low comprehension of how government functions. Otherwise, you don't need to ask that question.

The Tinubu is the father of all and therefore should attend to all outstanding and emerging problems.

The one acting childish is you.
A case that is in court! You want the president to interfere! And on behalf of a terrorist at that! Or did you not hear the tapes of MNK?
Is there a precedence of a president releasing a terrorist whose case is in court! A president whose properties were burnt down on the order of the terrorist!
Guy get sense abeg!
Let the trial take its course. If kanu is guilty, plea for a pardon not this rubbish you guys are doing

"Families are striving to see how they can get any kind of food for their families, and therefore, the luxury of poultry meat as protein was not a consideration during Christmas and New Year. Poultry farmers who thought of making little profit at Christmas and New Year, are, at the moment, lamenting the losses they incurred."


Ordinary chicken and in fact food generally, have become a luxury in Nigeria. Chai!!!

GOD have mercy ooooooo.

When the wicked rules, the people suffer.

Lies! How can you sell chicken for 30k and expect people to patronise you! All because of Xmas! Oga bring the price down, people will buy. It's called opportunity cost.

Cleanmouth:
Obama really frustrated Jonathan's effort in fighting jihadist because of his stance on LGBTQ+.
Obama blocked FG from buying weapons directly from US government so they had to use black market.

This is why Africans need to start manufacturing it's own weapons instead of relying on China, Russia France or U.S. They always protect their own interest first.

For example after Russia sold weapons to Niger Republic the WAGNER group started mining Uranium from their land.

Did you even read the write-up? It says, Nigeria used an unlicensed broker to try to procure the arms. Are you saying technocrats in Abuja and the military don't know the procedure for arms procurement! How can a country not know or be able to identify a licensed arm broker?
Thank God the PDP era is gone for good.

swaggerjack:
Who are the fronts and true owners of all these unknown companies cornering Niger Delta oil blocks.

Niger Delta residents in oil producing communities live in abject poverty. And have Northerners, South Easterners and Southwest government officials through their various fronts and briefcase companies corner all their onshore and offshore oil blocks.

You guys should stop this nonsense. It was an open bid. It was not done in secret. If you or anyone have the means, go and partake in it.

Ingrates in the house, before you ask someone to do something for you, try doing it for yourselves first. Then you'll know how easy or difficult it is. Tinubu has done well! Let's clap for him.

Skooltynz:
Imagine an elite billionaire humbling himself to the level of the lowest in the society, this man has proven beyond doubt that he loves his country and willing to serve the common man, may God grant his heart desire true power comes from above God bless the true patriots of Nigeria

Scam alert! I bet he can't do this without the cameras. He was governor for eight years. He was chasing Hausa from Onitsha, destroying their means of livelihood now he wants to scam people. Scammer

Some of these write-ups are very annoying. This is a man that fought against the Church, the mosque, Government, Labour, CBN and so much more, and came out tops. Now, he is president you're talking about "big-wigs"! Who are the bigwigs if I may ask?

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, says President Bola Tinubu must lead from the front by cutting the cost of governance.

Obi is a dullard. Tax reforms is also a means of making the country productive. It creates an enabling environment for business to thrive.

Ask him where we were when Tinubu came in and where we are now, you'll realize that he's just another bumkum like Reno

Your mind! You cannot see the big picture. All you can think of is the price of rice and beans in the market. You cannot phantom how the country is healing inside out! Macro economics has to change before you can feel the effects of micro economics

Oseni is daft! That's why the president has ministers and special advisers. All he need do is to give directions. The technocrats will take over from there.

OgaRico:
Servicing of debt is not the same thing as paying off debt o.
When a person or entity services a debt(s), it means the interest on the original amount borrowed is being paid for leaving the original amount unpaid for.
More like, Nigeria has paid off 1. whatever billion interest to IMF(that's if the news is true) but still owing IMF the actual amount borrowed.

Read and understood before commenting. It helps a lot
The only thing you saw from the write up is debt servicing! Did you see the amount borrowed, the payment plan and what has been paid?

This is why DF's neck have to be pressed harder. If an example is not made, character assassination and defamation will continue unabated. All these in the name of politics.

Okechinwadike:
and tinubu is prepared abi? Lol

In 2023, God answered our prayers by bringing Tinubu. Tinubu is the cure to Nigeria's challenges. God bless Tinubu
