Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings! We have sent logins to all incoming Learners for the 8th edition of Tekedia Mini-MBA which begins June 6 to end Sept 3, 2022. If you paid and yet to receive the email, simply go here for a copy of the email. Please complete your setup on time.

The WhatsApp Group link has also been provided in the Board. The live session begins on Saturday, June 11, at 7pm WAT. Prof Ndubuisi Ekekwe, the Lead Faculty, will open the live session. But courses will drop in the Board at 12 noon WAT on Monday, June 6.

Tekedia does not send reminders; so, we encourage you to set personal reminders. Live classes will be held on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm WAT, from June 11 to Sep 3, while pre-recorded courses will drop at 12 noon WAT Mondays, from June 6 to Sept 3.

Also, due to the massive interest, we have picked a date (July 16, more details in the Board as we get closer) for the Live portion of one of the new special sessions. Tekedia Institute announced last week that it would offer a special session on Satellite Internet in Nigeria, Africa – Business and Career Opportunities when news broke that Starlink has been approved by Nigerian regulators. A Texas-based company with Elon Musk’s Starlink license will co-teach the course with a US-based satellite industry analyst. A veteran of the Nigerian telco sector will provide a roadmap on broadband service delivery as a case study.

More so, the Central Bank of Nigeria recently released guidelines on Open Banking; Tekedia Institute is offering a course on that. The organization which played a major role for this initiative will teach the course.

We continue to receive registrations for Tekedia Mini-MBA edition 8 and other Tekedia Institute’s programs here. Help me and forward this email, lol; we want everyone in this edition with all the new courses.

U.S. Supreme Court Halts Controversial Texas’ Social Media Law

A Supreme Court jury has voted to halt controversial Texas’ social media law dubbed HB20, which was introduced early last year, but has faced unrelenting legal battles amidst backlash from activists since it was enacted in September.

Two tech industry groups, the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and NetChoice, representing major social media platforms, had challenged the law in court. The HB20 was designed to stop social media platforms from blocking users over what they post, and empowers the Attorney General and account holders to sue social media platforms when their rights to post contents are violated.

The HB20 was triggered by the ban of former president Donald Trump and other top members of the Republican Party from major social media platforms post 2020 election. But it has faced a rocky ride through the courts.

Texas, a Republican state, was at the forefront of conservative claims of tech’s liberal ideological bias. The push behind the HB20 is to prevent social media platforms from blocking conservatives over their viewpoints considered unhealthy.

But in May, in a surprise ruling, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had unblocked the law, overturning the earlier judgment of the trial court which prohibited Texas and its Attorney General from enforcing the HB20. But the Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of the applicants.

“Applicants now ask this Court to vacate that stay while the Fifth Circuit resolves the appeal of the underlying preliminary injunction, and the Court grants that extraordinary relief,” Justice Samuel Alito said in the ruling.

“The May 11, 2022 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit staying the district court’s preliminary injunction is vacated.”

However, the Supreme Court ruling isn’t the final word on HB20. The CCIA and NetChoice are contending that “the law is facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment,” which protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The argument which is yet to be settled is based on the First Amendment and the state’s sovereignty. Alito, who was among the justices who voted in favor of the state, said in his dissent that Texas has the right to make and enforce its own laws.

“While I can understand the Court’s apparent desire to delay enforcement of HB20 while the appeal is pending, the preliminary injunction entered by the District Court was itself a significant intrusion on state sovereignty, and Texas should not be required to seek preclearance from the federal courts before its laws go into effect.

“The Court of Appeals, after briefing and oral argument, concluded that the District Court’s order should be stayed, and a decision on the merits can be expected in the near future. I would not disturb the Court of Appeals’ informed judgment about applicants’ entitlement to a stay,” he said.

The 2022 Is Here – The Dawn of Immersive Connectivity in Nigeria

If you received that document on investing in Starlink, do not fall for it. There is nothing like Starlink as an asset class. What Elon Musk has is SpaceX; Starlink is just a product and he would certainly not issue equity on a product. Some guys in Luxembourg are trying to deceive people in Africa, tapping the exuberance on Starlink satellite. If you like Starlink, just wait for SpaceX to go public and you can invest. That document is targeting HNIs in Africa; stay away!

Meanwhile, watch this video I made in June 2017, predicting that satellite broadband will come at scale in 2022. My postulation remains that Nigeria is moving into a new dawn of immersive connectivity. That will unlock massive opportunities.

Starlink recently announced that it would be arriving in Nigeria.
