A different version of @CowryLagos about to unfold. Thanks team @touchandpayme for the good work. We still have a long way to go.
Cowry automated fare collection system for the BLUE LINE rail project 🤗. Cowry is already the means of payment on BRT, the waterways, and FLM buses. And now it will be the means of payment for the trains too.

Privacy (or trust) is the most critical factor in ppl’s willingness to share data required to improve AI algorithms.
Eg. ppl limiting data collection via iPhone’s data usage notifications, Alexa getting backlash for recoding user voices, etc.

I think organisations in Lagos should now start getting bikes for their staffs. #OkadaBan
Can @Boltapp_ng show the drivers passenger's destination before they accept the request, I am tired of the question "where are you going to" and some saying "I am sorry I'm not going there"...
The moment we can tell ourselves the truth and be ready for the consequences, that's when we can truly build a nation. When will capitalist leaders understand that public education shouldn't be for profit?
