I would love to teach him about drones for free.
How they work
How to build them
And how to fly them.
Please retweet this till I get in contact with this young engineer.

Restaurant owners will spend ₦500k on an influencer to post one video.
Then negotiate a ₦68k/month software subscription that handles their bookings, website, and customer relationships.
I've learned that the biggest competition for B2B software isn't other software.
It's how people perceive value.

Sen. candidate @AbdulElSayed responds to Trump's comment that he should go through metal detectors if elected: "I'll go through a metal detector if you'll sit for a lie detector... My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election?"
And just listen to the crowd!

"Don't force your candidate on me."
I go force Peter Obi on you. Nigeria don too spoil for me to allow you to make your own decision. I go decide for you.
- Nigerian comedian
Vote Peter Obi for a reset of this country.

✅ I'll forgive you for:
Missing a month
A pivot
A down round
❌ I won't forgive you for:
Hiding bad news
A cap table that doesn't match the data room
Learning nothing in 90 days
Pre-seed is a trust business.

SaaS is dead.
I advise the world's biggest companies on SaaS and I'll tell you where it's going and how it evolves in 11 minutes.
A restaurant manager told me they could build everything Dinesurf does using AI in one weekend.
Honestly, I believe him.
I just wonder if he's also planning to vibe code five years of customer support, security, payment reconciliation, and production incidents that weekend. 😂

I'm just realizing that there's a lot things that i haven't shared beyond some pitch decks.
5 years ago I joined an AI e-commerce startup as the early product team, strong business model no real product.
Built the product and the product team, we got acquired for almost quarter of a billion dollars. Intial casg of about 51% with a follow on call. (They gave me small equity) I was just a few months in.
God's favour has carried me through so much

Vibe coding is amazing until you realize someone just vibe coded ₦30 million out of your business.
We encountered a restaurant in Abuja where an insecure custom-built payment system reportedly allowed someone to change the payout bank account, collect money, and change it back.
This apparently went on for months.
Over ₦30 million gone.
Please, vibe code your landing pages. Don't vibe code your financial controls. 😭 If you want custom websites we build and manage it for free with a Dinesurf subscription

Every restaurant now has that one staff member who has discovered Claude.
Monday: "Sir, I can build us a website."
Wednesday: "Sir, we don't need that software subscription anymore."
Friday: The entire restaurant is running on a localhost server under someone's bed. 😭

A friend of mine just built an app and I think the idea is so cool!
It’s like TikTok, but for learning African languages. Starting with Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa.
Basically, Duolingo for our local languages. 👏🏾
Soon I’ll be able to banter with Tomiwa in Yoruba 🤭
Your restaurant management software has 47 animations, an AI chatbot, and a beautiful dashboard.
But can anybody change the bank account receiving your payments?
Let's start there. 😭

If I owned a restaurant doing serious volume on delivery apps, I wouldn't leave them. I'd just stop letting them own the entire customer relationship.
Third-party delivery platforms are useful. They already have customers and demand, and people open those apps ready to order. That's valuable.
The problem starts when the same customer orders from your restaurant 10 times and you still barely know who they are. At that point, you're paying acquisition cost over and over for someone you already acquired.
That's why Dinesurf gives restaurants their own direct ordering through their own website. Let the marketplace help people discover you. Once they know they like your food, the relationship should be yours: you know who ordered, you can talk to them again, reward them with loyalty programs and bring them back. And the economics of the order can improve too.
You don't have to choose between marketplaces and direct ordering. Use Chowdeck, Glovo or whatever for discovery. Use Dinesurf to build the relationship you actually own.
Want the direct ordering playbook I'd use to make that transition? Comment "direct" and I'll send it to you.
