To Google for Startups, Love Douglas

Writing this letter was very hard for me because the subject is a grant. I know no one is entitled to a grant and grants should be given however the donor sees fit. I genuinely believe a good number of startups on the announced list of Google’s Black Founders Fund…

Some of you are too old to be this ignorant about HIV, Google is free

By too old, I mean older than 12. DaBaby you’re pushing 30! — There’s an HBO documentary called The Legend of the Underground, I still haven’t seen the full film but I saw clips on Twitter when it was released. In this particular clip I watched, an HIV-positive Nigerian man talked about the discrimination and stigma he faced from his family even down…

Growing the passion/creator economy of Africa with Selar.co — The irony of this milestone post is, I was going to hold unto it until it was $1M considering $1M is a “glossier startup figure”, but then I thought, why wait till then? …

How to see all your Amazon SES email logs and events (opens, clicks, e.t.c) for free using Engage.so

Sharing this because someone might need it — I’ve been using AWS SES for about 4 years now on my project — Selar.co, and one of the many reasons I love SES is because it’s cheap. You can send over 100,000 emails and it would cost less than $10. …

Here we go again with you bums trying to make FemCo look like a villian

Must be worms in your brains — I guess it’s not lost on me, that in a country like Nigeria where people in any position of power steal (with every chance they get), it’s hard to fathom that people can organize donations and not steal.

Why I take my work related advice from Megan Thee Stallion, and you should too

She always keeps me grounded on what’s important — Asides the catchy punchlines, fun beat, and generally positive demeanor of Megan’s music, one of the many reasons I love it so much is because it keeps me grounded on what’s important: the money. …

I choose to love WW84 even with it’s imperfections 🤣🤣

You haters should stop trying to poison my mind — Let me start by saying, I have very little expectations for superhero movies in general. Like if there was a bar, my expectations for superhero movies are 6ft below that bar. I watch them for the enchantment of it all. I definitely don’t even look for plot in superhero movies…
