Japa was the word of the last five years.

Japada is starting to show up in the last twelve months.

Diaspora Nigerians returning home to open a school in Enugu, a clinic in Ibadan, a manufacturing operation in Ogun. Not as the retirement fantasy. As the second career, in their forties, with capital and a US or UK network.

This is not going to be the majority of the diaspora. It will be a serious minority. That minority is where the next generation of home-grown Nigerian institutions will be seeded.

Watch that flow, not the outbound flow. The story is on the return.

I was sent out of Canada

Yes that’s why I came back home a few months ago

Yep, you read that right.

So I came into Canada with a spousal open work permit. And when it was about to expire, we applied for an extension.

And we were just about our business waiting for the extension to come out only for us to get a rejection mail. This came at a crucial time as there was a change of government and rapid immigration policy changes.

Omo, everywhere first blur. Premium tears everywhere

We did not see it coming at all. And I had a few days to leave the country ASAP.

My husband wanted to start running around seeing how to appeal the rejection without me leaving but I just told him “babe let’s leave it. I’ll go.”

I was not sure what God was doing but I trusted Him. And so I came back to Nigeria.

I went about my Fathers business like nothing dey sup. Trusting the one who has called me.

Then the dots began to connect.

Then came Covabodi festival. You know how that went to the glory of God

Then came brand ambassadorial roles.

If I tell you the other things God helped me achieve in this trip ehn,you’ll open your mouth in wonder.

Like, I began to understand that Canada did not send me away. God brought me back to carry out specific assignments.

One morning we woke up and I got a email.

“Congratulations Deborah, you’re now a permanent resident of Canada”

Yup. You’re looking at the latest Canadian permanent resident.

When I flew into Canada last week, I bounced in there like a madam.

I’m sharing this testimony to let you know that you need to trust God completely with your life.

You see that scripture that says all things work together for good? I need you to believe it with everything inside of you

Your wedding plans scattered? It’s working for your good

They served you breakfast? It’s working for your good

You did not get that opportunity? It’s working for your good.

Be pro-active, play your part, send in the application, do all that you should do and leave the rest to God

You may not see what God is doing in the moment, but as long as you’re faithfully serving and following God, just trust Him.

The dots will connect

And you will look and say “oh, Father so this is what you had in mind.”

Celebrate with me jare. God don run am🥳🥳

PS: Peep my resident card🥰

Blessings!

@ukhomeoffice Really?..
Because it certainly doesn't look that way.
It looks like you are giving them leaflets in the hopes they wont rape & hurt people while they remain here free.
If you were doing your job they would go from beach to internment centres, then back.

Dear Nigerians,

Stop everything & listen to this. Because new born babies in Singapore will receive:

* A baby gift of S$10,000.
* A medicine grant of S$5,000.
* A S$5000 child development initial grant.
* S$5000 dollar-for-dollar xtra matching grant

THAT’S NOT ALL !!!

* Every Singaporean child will continue to get annual credits of S$2000 from age 1-16.

* At 17, every Singaporean child will get an additional S$10,000 deposited into their post-secondary school education account.

In total, every child will receive nearly S$70,000 ($55,000) as they grow up. Families with more children will receive more support.

The Singaporean government is giving nearly ₦77 million in total direct financial support to every Singaporean child from birth to age 17.

NOTE: Singapore is not an oil-producing country. It has zero domestic crude oil reserves & does not extract petroleum from the ground.

Singapore imports its oil 100%.

Thanks to Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore is one of the four Asian Tigers. It shares this title with Hong Kong, South Korea, & Taiwan.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong delivered this powerful speech yesterday to mark Singapore's National Day Rally 2026. He announced major updates on public housing, family support, & digital safeguards for Singaporean youths.

This is how a leader addresses his people. As a Nigerian, can you see what leadership looks like? WHAT DOES NIGERIA DO FOR YOU?

@boye4christ2006 Let's ask ourselves. If there was no Ai, won't we do our project?

[folowosele adeboye @boye4christ2006]

Dear MSc and PhD students I have an hack for you,

If you want to use ChatGPT or other AI for your project, you can use them without it showing you use AI.

You won’t spend a dine to do it.

Just copy everything away from ChatGPT and type it yourself one by one in Microsoft word.

Don’t paste on Microsoft word.

Type them yourself.

It can NEVER be detected as AI.

Tested and proven.

You can use ZeroGpt or other tools to test the volume of AI.

All the best.

Dear Nigerians,

For many years, Nigeria has possessed some of the most promising deep offshore oil and gas resources in the world, yet several major developments have remained stalled. Oil lies beneath our waters. We have the engineers, businesses and young people capable of doing increasingly sophisticated work in the sector. What has often been missing is the certainty required for investors to commit billions of dollars, over many years, at the scale needed to turn that potential into production, jobs and opportunity for Nigerians.

We cannot afford to leave that opportunity beneath our waters for another decade.

I have therefore signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, to provide clear and predictable terms for a new generation of deep offshore investment in Nigeria.

The framework has the potential to unlock up to $50 billion in investment, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project. For existing deep offshore leases, there is a clear window to reach Final Investment Decision by 31 December 2029 and receive the full standard incentive available under the Order.

There is urgency to this work. Capital moves, and countries compete for it every day. The countries that attract long-term investment are not necessarily those with the greatest natural resources. They are the ones that provide the greatest certainty.

Nigeria must be one of those countries.

This Order marks the tenth major policy directive of my administration targeted specifically at the oil and gas sector. Each has dealt with a constraint holding back investment, production or value creation. Taken together, they represent a deliberate effort to make our oil and gas industry more competitive, attract capital back to Nigeria and ensure that more of the value created from our resources remains here at home.

But attracting investment is only half of my purpose.

I want the work that comes with these projects to come home to Nigeria. I want our engineers involved, our fabrication yards working, our marine and technical service companies securing contracts, and our young people acquiring skills that will remain valuable long after the first barrel is produced.

The Order reflects this priority. For projects accessing its supplementary incentives, activities are to be performed in Nigeria, subject to clearly defined exceptions and Nigerian Content requirements.

My ambition is that we use this new investment cycle to build Nigeria into Africa’s regional hub for deep offshore project execution. We should not only possess the resources. We should increasingly possess the skills, businesses and industrial capacity required to develop them.

When I engaged the Chief Executive Officer of Shell plc, Mr Wael Sawan, I directed my team to look beyond a solution for one company or one project. We needed a framework that could unlock a wider pipeline of investment while protecting Nigeria’s long-term interests.

That framework is now in place.

Ultimately, I will judge its success by what Nigerians see from it in terms of good jobs, stronger Nigerian businesses, greater production, increased revenues for the Federation and new capabilities built here at home.

Our natural resources must work harder for our people.

That is the purpose of this decision, and we will pursue it with urgency.

Nigeria First.

The 10,000 hour rule, the idea that ten thousand hours of practice makes you world class at anything, might be the most quoted number in self improvement.

The scientist whose research it was built on, Anders Ericsson, later said plainly that there never was a 10,000 hour rule, the number came from a series of misinterpretations popularised by one bestselling book.

When researchers actually measured it, practice explained only about a fifth to a quarter of the gap in skill, and among elite performers closer to one percent.

Practice matters enormously, nobody is arguing otherwise. But the comforting promise that hours alone are enough, with no mention of talent, timing or good coaching, was always a story we kept repeating because we liked how it sounded.
