In the middle of all my other life rejections, just remembered that I applied to 10 research internships abroad last year and didn't get into any. Then I last-minute-applied into only one this year and got in🥹

We welcomed H.E. José Bamóquina Zau, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Angola to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, alongside Defence Attaché Colonel Venutura Miguel and senior Embassy officials, to Terra Industries' Pax-1 facility in Abuja to examine how indigenous defense technology can anchor Angola's long-term security sovereignty.

When I saw 2k, I thought it was 2k dollars😎. Indeed, most people don’t really prioritize money, but care so much about “value & impact to the society”

Some of our members were working on Indaba's pan-African communities reg; they sent me this draft for proofreading. I blinked twice at "14 papers in Q1 2026." I thought, "No way!" But I counted them, & it was 14. Quite humbling how productive our members are, and how modest too

Last year, this was just an idea. I started small - MT (text-based). Then someone said: “Hahaha, MT is old stuff”. All I did was to smile. Most times, you need to act foolish to be wise.

We’re taking on something HUGE: Speech tech for 20 African languages. It’s not the traditional ASR and TTS.

Pls help me repost. Someone in your network might be interested in contributing in dataset curation, data labeling, model training, empirical evaluations, and paper writing. We need more people on this work cuz it’s huge. Audio processing, speech synthesis, 20 African languages.
