If you're a Nigerian developer, whether you're just starting out or you've been building for years, there's so much you can build and learn with homegrown technologies 🇳🇬❤️
We have:
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @pxxl_space instead of Vercel for hosting.
🇳🇬 @StackshiftCloud for VPS hosting and management, as an alternative to providers like Hostinger and tools like Coolify.
🇳🇬 @Dbrij_hq & @sendly_ai_ instead of Resend for business and transactional emails.
🇳🇬 @cencori instead of OpenRouter and Cloudflare AI Gateway for AI model access and management.
🇳🇬 Sabilytics.com instead of Google Analytics and DataFast for website analytics.
🇳🇬 @OutRayTunnel for tunnelling local services, as an alternative to tools like ngrok and Cloudflare Tunnel.
🇳🇬 @Bachs_hq for international payments, as an alternative to Stripe.
And these are just the ones I can remember right now!
I'm not saying you must stop using international tools.
I'm saying we have people right here building alternatives worth trying, supporting, and contributing to. With better local pricing that fits us.
I know I'm missing so many other products.
What other Nigerian-built products and their global alternatives should be on this list?
Drop them in the replies! 👇
And if you're building something in Nigeria or anywhere across Africa, please submit your project to Africa Is Building so more people can discover what you're working on ❤️

Power does not corrupt gradually. It corrupts the moment the ones holding it stop needing the people who gave it. Ibn Khaldun saw this across the Maghreb and wrote it as a law of history, not as warning. Warnings imply the pattern can be broken. It rarely is. The cycle continues

My employee resigned after I rejected her request for a raise.
She didn’t argue. She just said, “I understand.”
I thought that was the end of it.
The next morning, she emailed HR: “Please accept this as my formal resignation.”
No complaint. No counteroffer.
I was almost offended.
Me: “You’re resigning over a single raise request?”
Her: “No.”
Me: “Then what is this about?”
Her: “The rejection just made me realize I was never going to be valued here.”
I laughed.
Me: “You’ve worked here for three years. You’re not seriously walking away because of one conversation.”
She nodded. “I am.”
Then she walked out.

Honoured to announce that I have been conferred the title of Gamzakin Katsina by His Highness, the Sarkin Katsina.
A new name. A greater responsibility.
Gamzaki : the Morning Star; a light that appears before dawn, a sign of what is to come.
I receive this honour with humility, gratitude and a renewed commitment to serve Katsina and its people.

Melancholy often increases with competence, since becoming skilled enough to notice real subtlety also means becoming skilled enough to notice everything that falls short of it, turning expertise into one slow, steady, largely uncelebrated source of quiet, ongoing disappointment

Mortality is not a problem to be solved. It is the condition that makes meaning possible in the first place. An infinite life would have no reason to choose one path over another since every path could eventually be taken. Death forces the question of which life actually matters

Gibran said the deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. The carving is not gentle. Anyone who has felt it knows this. The capacity that opens afterward is real. Something that was not there before now fits inside. The sorrow built the room. Joy moves in
Mentorship is more about helping people remove what hinders their growth!!!
Then they find themselves!!
Keep growing!!

Overcoming Barriers Securing My Spot in the @TheKatlyst Spark Fall '26 Cohort
I am thrilled to share a major milestone in my professional journey. I have successfully passed the assessment phase for the @TheKatlyst (Katlyst) Spark Fall '26 program, scoring 76 out of 80 (PASS) in the Data Engineering track.
Living with a #disability comes with unique challenges, but it has never defined my potential or limited my #ambition. This achievement reinforces my belief that with #resilience, determination, and the right #opportunities, any barrier can be broken.
Digital skills are the ultimate #equalizer, and I am incredibly excited to dive deep into Data Engineering, a field where I hope to build impactful #solutions and grow as a #tech professional.
My profound gratitude goes to the Katsina State Government (@KatsinaStateNg) for its visionary commitment to empowering youths and creating structured pathways for #Digital inclusion.
Special thanks to Mr. Naufal Ahmad (@9aufal) Director General of the Katsina Directorate of Information and Communications Technology (@katdict), Mr Muhammad Khalil (@devkaahl) and Mustapha Shehu Ph.D (@talk2mshehu) for providing this life changing opportunity. Their dedication to making #technology accessible to everyone regardless of their #physical #ability is truly inspiring.
I look forward to the next steps of this #cohort and to connecting with fellow #innovators along the way
