@afriglobalmedic It's 2026, please stop giving people MRI or any other test results on CDs, there are bare devices available to support this technology anymore.
A 2GB flash drive will make more sense.
@JAMBHQ Three weeks after @waecnigeria has regularised their results, why can't we still upload 2025 SSCE results on the JAMB portal? We have been visiting the centre everyday and this morning it's still the same story.
@waecnigeria As an institution, you really should be ashamed of the English results you released. Whoever gave these grades is in error and your reputation is in tatters .
It's an absolute disgrace .
@labbyk_official@JAMBHQ You do. Pay attention to the course and institutions of study, and go do change of institution as soon as possible to the one that will accept you
Bredren.
If a law is oppressive, then you agitate for it to be changed. That's how it works.
You don't break it THEN cry; "Oppressive!" afterwards.
That's just plain wrong.
Lobby for a change.

The Association of Local Governments (ALGON) announced yesterday that the 774 local governments are required to establish dedicated accounts with the CBN. This initiative is aimed at facilitating the direct distribution of their allocations from the Federation Account.
Bello Lawal Yandaki, the National President, emphasized that establishing the account is essential for putting the Supreme Court's decision regarding direct fund allocations to the councils into action.
He mentioned that the central bank is awaiting guidance from the Federal Government regarding the opening of the accounts.
“The CBN is presently awaiting directives from the Federal Government to open local government accounts for the respective states, which can be done between 24 and 48 hours for each.
“I am a member of the sub-committee that was set up to trash out contentious grey areas, and we have already met relevant stakeholders, including labour unions, local government chairmen, NULGE, and so on.
“There’s a general agreement that the commencement of direct federal revenue allocations to LGs will be this January.
“Hopefully, we are just rounding off meetings and making submissions to the Federal Government for implantation and there’s no set timeline,” he said.

Crystal Chigbu turned personal pain into purpose. After her daughter’s amputation, she founded The IREDE Foundation in 2012 to provide prosthetic limbs to children in need. Over 500 kids now walk, run, and play thanks to her work. It's not just about limbs—it’s about empowerment.
In the last 12 years I have volunteered with The IREDE Foundation @theirede to give limbs to Child Amputees in Nigeria.
These children are now able to go back to school and live a full life . Through @TheIredians comic books we do advocacy to educate on disability
Google Org is running a campaign whereby Googlers get some money to donate to good causes. Obviously, my attention is on Nigeria. Can anyone recommend any great Non-profits in Naija? I'll donate to those whose causes I can strongly relate to.
Brazil is shutting down 2000 betting sites due to what is termed ‘betting Pandemic’. No economy grows on a citizenry that gambles away their fortunes. May Nigeria wake up before it is too late. #betting#brazil#gambling
