Imagine you shared your jollof rice recipe with the entire world and invited everyone to try it, improve it, and share their own versions.
That's the idea behind open source.
Curious about how it works? Watch this and follow us for more.

Sometimes I sit in the quiet of my room and just think, āwhat a good God we serveā. My perspective on rejections has changed in the last year. Right now if I get rejected from any opportunity I just say āthank Godā and move on. God never fails and He will never fail, so trust He is working even in the midst of rejections.

Hereās the prompt for the story:
Write about Ada, a young woman who starts earning from an international company while still living at home. Her story should touch on opportunity, independence, and finally getting paid what her work is worth.
Personally, I think this prompt will hit home for a lot of us here.
So, ensure you write from your own experience and imagination, and do your best to avoid AI completely.
Good luck, my Shaylas.
I canāt wait to see what you come up with.
Replying to @cashi
@cashi will be giving out $600 to 6 lucky personsš

Itāll be a writing contest for writers, creators and professionals, and I believe a lot of you here will benefit from this.

Yesterday, I woke up to a lot of messages buzzing my phone with screenshots of a girl falsely accusing me of strangling and stabbing her with a compass "multiple times".

The average NACOSite can answer these questions without breaking a sweat?
Letās find out where you fall on the NACOS know-how scale š
1. Youāre at a NACOS conference and someone says, āLetās network.ā
2. OG LEVEL š„
Complete the sentence:
āOne NACOS, ______.ā.

Ps: If you say my name without adding my dignitaries, we might put our legs inside one trouser š
When you're in a bad place even a well meaning question becomes a threat.
The last time someone asked me āhowās your SIWES going"?ā I nearly off pesin head.

State of Open Source (Nest) with the convener of TAKEOFF.
Our co-founder, @onfranciis took the stage for one final session at TAKEOFF to account for a campaign year of building Open Source Nest.
In the last campaign year (Aug - Dec), OpenSourceNest:
š„Delivered 4 hands-on beginner workshops covering GitHub basics, code, technical writing, and design
š„Reached 580+ participants and helped hundreds take their first steps in open source
š„Co-hosted a vibrant in-person Contribute-a-thon with @mozilla Common Voice with 40+ attendees recorded 1,077 voice clips and validated 826 tangible contributions to public datasets.
š„Spoken at 6 external tech events and grown to 450+ engaged members
And that was just year one, closing off the 2025 campaign with TAKEOFF, with 200+ registrations, backed by GitHub.
What we built in 2025 was the beginning of OSN.
The 2026 campaign is already in motion and YOU are already in our plans.
What do you think we should prioritize this year?
Tell us in the comments.

MINI RECAP: What Happened at TAKEOFF by Open Source Nest?
TAKEOFF took off with the kind of energy that spells community. Starting high with colorful introductions that set the fun tone for everything that followed.
With the idealisation of open source as a tool for democratizing tech, Precious anchored the mission; walking us through the transition from User to Contributor.
That energy stayed afloat and got practical with Romanus breaking down exactly how to turn open source contribution into paid opportunity.
The victor they say writes history , but not anymore. History is now being rewritten by what AI is trained on. "AI has become the arbiter of truth. If Africans don't show up to shape that data, someone else will." ā Kingsley Nworie.
In real time, the African tech ecosystem was laid bare.
The untapped 'NOs' reframed as advantages, the challenges named without filter, the numerous opportunities mapped out loud.
Ending with the charge that cut through everything:
Go home. Do something with what you learned TODAY!
TAKEOFF reminded everyone that the best communities don't just think together, they play together.
From a random scavenger game to a Spongebob and Merlin voice acting studio...
All proof that techies can be so much fun as techies.
Conversations that started at the icebreaker were still going long after the event wrapped.
TAKEOFF didn't just happen. It launched.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OPSN SOURCE āļø
READ THE READ ME
READ THE READ ME
as in it reads ReadME cause it wants us to actually READ IT.
"Open source is source code by the people, for the people."
ā Precious Onyewuchi at #TakeOff š„
She just showed us exactly how to go from a user to a contributor.
And the first reason to start?
To bridge the gap between learning and real world experience ā and create impact beyond yourself.
The room is locked in. š

It's GOOD Friday but what exactly is good about it?
The death of an innocent man whose only offence was to love the very people that crucified him.
I ask again why not black Friday or #JusticeForChrist Friday?
a blessed #GOODFRIDAYEVERYONE
But let's keep it GOOD.
