Too much poison, hate, intolerance, hypocrisy and bigotry in this space. I wish we can all just chill and at least just post positive things for the rest of the day. Pic. CC'd
@Wizarab10 I will advise you to investigate properly before coming all out with your exposés for credibility. ClueS; this issue has been in the news since 2023 read those reports; who are the directors of Dupot?; what has been the reasons for repeated failures to come on stream? Was it on?
Very interesting conversation, worth following. @the_tech_writer well done to you and your team for doing something about this. We must not allow this nation be destroyed on the back of collective greed.
Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD, 🇳🇬 Nigerian chess player and advocate for child education, and Shawn Martinez @CoachShawnMar , 🇺🇸 American chess player and coach, have attempted to set a new record for the longest chess marathon, playing for an impressive 60 hours straight in 🗽 New York City’s Times Square. While @GWR is yet to confirm the attempt, this feat has already earned them admiration from the chess world.
👉 The marathon aimed to raise $1 million for Chess in Slums Africa. Tunde took to social media to share their endeavor, and he urged supporters to continue contributing to the cause.
ℹ️ Founded in 2018, Chess in Slums Africa seeks to educate one million children in slum communities across the continent.

@naira_rates@Bloomberg Nigeria is this jump backed by fundamentals? @BloombergAfrica when you "speculated" about the Naira coming down you mentioned the speed, is this sudden upsurge not also suspicious? Or is it only government's activities around the Naira that you "Analyse"?
@naira_rates@cenbank governor they have started to disintegrate all your hard work in stabilising the Naira, with this wanton push of the dollar again. @cenbank you need to do something quickly to prevent manipulators/ speculators from destroying the currency.
If you believe that clearing your internet history is enough, you're mistaken.
Your online activity is still stored.
Here's one method to completely erase your internet history and become a Digital Ghost: 🧵
Tunde Onakoya a Nigerian 🇳🇬 who uses chess ♟️ to take kids out of the slums and give them a better life is set to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Chess Marathon without losing a game for 58 hours, in New York.
We wish you the best 👍🏿
Don't call Muslim women who have career goals or high standards "modern muslims". There's nothing modern about women empowerment in Islam. Muslim women are given an extremely high status in islam since the beginning. Khadijah, the prophet Muhammad's wife, was so strong, beautiful, and independent. She took care of an entire business on her own, she rejected men who asked for her because they didn't meet her standards, she chose who she wanted to marry and he was younger than her. So if you think that Muslim women who make decisions for themselves are following some modern version of Islam you're absolutely wrong.
How to reinvent yourself:
1) Map out your ideal future in as much detail as possible.
2) Throw yourself into a new physical and digital environment. Drown yourself in knowledge & potential.
3) Stick with the discomfort. Resist the urge to retreat to your old comfortable ways.
You're bored because:
- You don't have a vision
- You haven't set a new goal
- You lack clarity for your actions
Without those, you have no knowledge to learn, no project to build, and no potential to achieve.
The solution to boredom is taking back control of your life.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 has ended centuries of selling raw ore to buyers overseas where it's made into products, and now will give mining licenses only to local companies that will make value-added products for local market & export.

Your comments on this ...
The race has started. Tier 1 banks need around $250 million.
Options are :-
-Raise a fintech subsidiary
-Raise an investment subsidiary
-Allow a foreign bank acquire shares as a subsidiary
-Bond
-IPO
-PO
-Private placement
-Right issue
-Merger
-Acquisition
-CBN loan.
Btw, so many bank directors will have to re route “stashed forex” back into the financial system. So expect increased turn over rate/transactions in the official window.

@ShalayeProMax@theAbidoye@DebolaDaniel You know that it is not compulsory to comment, especially if you have nothing good to say. The man is sharing how that "little" grace/support has helped him get a good head start in life and you are belittling it. Do you know how many people never gets that chance?
Stay safe sir
@ayampeky@DebolaDaniel Because many people have been treated like this means he should not speak against it. Truly we deserve the types of leader we get. It can take just his voice to put things right. So many people are treated badly doesn’t mean we should continue to look away.
@KadunaResident@DebolaDaniel Some of you are just walking heartache, there is place for everything and time for everything. It is not at this time. Be humane
I have this friend of mine who relocated to the UK abiut a year and half ago and when we talk, he is so gleeful about the Nigerian situation.
He sounds excited about any and every bad news in Nigeria.
So yesterday while on a call with him, he said something that shook me.
The bitterness in his voice over the recovery of the naira was evident.
Sometimes, I feel like the people who have japa need the bad news out of Nigeria as a constant justification for their decision to relocate.
