A CALL FOR ATTENTION TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.
There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear.
I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected.
We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election. @realDonaldTrump

“The youth agenda must be central to IDA22, because young people are the engine of growth in developing economies. If we invest in their skills & enterprises, they will not be looking for jobs, they will create them.” —@AkinOlaore of @youths_society.

Very stimulating presentation and discussion on the @WorldBankGroup‘s work on AI, based on the upcoming World Development Report, led by World Bank Chief Economist, Dr. @IndermitGill and chaired by our own Chief Economist, Prof. Bob Staiger. This was followed by an excellent exchange at lunch animated by several of our Ambassadors. The World Bank‘s findings on the importance of inclusion of developing countries, the role of predictive versus agentic AI in these countries, the importance of ownership and co-creational approaches, and the need to pay attention to requisite infrastructure that will underpin AI at a scale relevant to the resources and means of developing countries, mirror several of our own findings in our work on AI and trade. Many thanks to Indermit and his colleagues for insightful and impactful work.
(Buhari,Elrufai et al.,) did to former President Jonathan. PMB really messed Nigeria up and then exit the world. It is very pitiable and yet sadornic that the Northerners(apologies to my Northern Nigeria friends who are of goodwill) wants to replay the same card used in 2015.
When i tell people I'm happy Peter Obi wasn't announced as the winner of the 2023 elections,some uninformed fellows come for my jaw. Come to think of it,President Tinubu could be receiving double dose of karma for what he and his fellow conspirators
