On the 17th of April 2024, I will attempt to break the Guiness World record for the longest Chess marathon in the heart of Times Square New York City for 58 hours without losing a game.
Doing this for the dreams of millions of children across Africa without access to education.

Does anyone know what’s going on with Erro Press / EDDA. I got an acceptance from them a year ago and since then it’s been radio silence. Emails are bouncing. Website is off the grid.

This is not a call out. It’s just been so silent on their end, I hope everything is alright.…

Ibrahim Babátúndé Ibrahim Excited!! 🤍

Amidst the madness, an acceptance came through from the great folks at Adi Magazine. Y’all will be meeting ‘Danfo Driver’ on their prestigious pages soon. I’m chuffed beyond words! 🙏🏼❤️

This is less about language and more about bias.

I wholly accede sir 😆

Ankita the word police. Don’t you think ‘mechanical’ is too gargantuan a word for you?

Rejecting work based solely on such a ludicrous assumption is totally unfair. Such words are pretty commonplace and dare I say...they're very simple words as well.

This is why we have to shout down Paul Graham. He's a decent fellow but that narrative is harmful to people.

Patrick Obahiagbon finally replied to Paul Graham on his perceived use of ChatGPT in the case of the word 'Delve'

AI-Generated.

Someone show this quote to Paul G. He obviously has no awareness beyond the rims of his nose.

I experienced arrogance in human form today. His name is Paul G, the specialist AI detector.

This is why we need to invest more in producing and publishing our own work. Imagine after being force-fed colonial languages, being forced to speak it better than its owners then being told that no one used basic words like 'delve' in real life.

Habibi, come to Nigeria.
