What are they even doing at 3MTT?
I have seen organizations and the government put in billions of naira and dollars in 3MTT, but I have not seen any tangible impact the programme has made on youth employment and empowerment.
Millions of naira and dollars have been committed to this programme.
All I see are online tech training, virtual classes and certificate presentations at events.
Mr Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, what exactly are you doing with 3MTT?
We need to see the impact of this investment beyond training and certificates.
Where are the jobs? Where is the empowerment? How many young Nigerians have actually secured jobs or started earning from the skills they acquired through this programme?
The best thing you can do for your career is learn how to resign gracefully. You don't need to drag the company or give a 3-page speech on your WhatsApp status. Just sign the exit papers, do your handover, and mind your business. The market is small.
My company started a recruitment exercise last month.
I'm hearing that management has paused all hiring exercises until the first quarter of 2027.
This is one of the reasons HRs go cold on applicants without giving them any feedback.
So sad.
Always have someone in CC when sending out a commercial email, especially the ones that are work related.
The receiver might deny ever seeing your email.
The person copied on the email might just bail you out when things go wrong.
When you see the targets salespeople drive in the bank, you will understand that the work is not easy.
Forget how people on the TL talk about the salaries bankers earn.
Earning that money from an operations perspective is one thing. If you are on the commercial side working as a Relationship Manager, you will understand how difficult it is to drive a business. You must earn the pay.
I always encourage salespeople to remain optimistic and approach every day as a fresh start.
Keep doing the things you do. Show up, build your pipeline, gather prospects, network, move out, meet people and have conversations. Keep looking for business.
The people you meet today, the conversations you have, and the relationships you build today are what will bring in the millions you're chasing.
All these activities compound over time.
Better fix: skills tests, work samples, and judging experience after the first few years. After 5 years in the field, nobody should be asking what certificate you started with.
Sadly, some organisations will keep ignoring staff concerns as long as the numbers remain good.
To them, once the numbers are good, the business is doing well.
Sometimes, the only way to make management realise that humans are behind those good financials is to let things slip.
It is only when poor staff morale begins to affect performance that they realise something needs to be done.
If they keep a blind eye since financials are good, staff will continue to drop the ball. Some will look for their exit.
You cannot keep expecting people to deliver good numbers every month while ignoring the conditions they work under.
HND discrimination pegged my career growth at a time. It was not until I got a BSc that I started experiencing corporate growth.
Nobody wanted to give me consideration, no matter how good I was or what I could offer, simply because I had an HND.
What many people don't know is that my HND gave me everything my BSc didn't give me.
Honestly, I feel the government should scrap HND if corporate organisations are going to continue treating it as a second-class qualification. It has little or no corporate relevance in the eyes of many employers.
Corporates are using it to stall people's career growth, regardless of their competence, experience and what they bring to the table.
Just scrap HND. Let people stop wasting their five years in school.
Wearing a nice perfume gives you an absolute confidence boost.
Beyond the compliment you get from People, you feel very good when you perceive yourself differently.
I went to a company today for an engagement.
Before I could see my host, I was ushered into the HSE room for training and induction.
After the training, I was given a quiz to write.
After the quiz I was directed to the waiting room, just before I could finally meet my host they offered me coffee.
I was like, what is going on here?
INEC HAS JUST REMOVED 1.6 MILLION INVALID VOTER REGISTRATIONS. AND 54 ELECTORAL OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN FLAGGED. WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION.
INEC says it has removed 1,608,660 invalid voter registrations following its review of the preliminary voters' register ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It also removed records belonging to verified deceased persons.
54 electoral officials across 10 states have been identified for possible disciplinary action, including prosecution, over alleged involvement in registration irregularities.
What did INEC uncover?
1. Suspected multiple registrations.
2. Manipulated or substituted photographs.
3. Unusual registration patterns.
4. Officials allegedly bypassing established registration procedures.
5. Misuse of special registration provisions intended to accommodate persons with disabilities.
This is not a minor administrative error.
The voter register is the foundation of an election. Before we argue about BVAS, electronic transmission, result sheets and collation, we must first establish that the list of people eligible to vote is credible.
If these irregularities were detected during the latest registration exercise, what about the historical records accumulated over several registration exercises since 2011?
INEC itself says significant integrity concerns remain in the older register.
We should therefore ask some very important questions:
1. How did more than 1.6 million invalid registrations enter the system in the first place?
2. Who authorised or facilitated the irregular registrations?
3. Which states were affected, and what were the geographical patterns?
4. Have the 54 officials been suspended pending investigation?
5. Will those found culpable face actual prosecution, or will this end with another announcement?
6. What independent safeguards will prevent a repeat?
INEC says some people who relocated registered again instead of transferring their existing registrations. Their new registrations were invalidated, while their original records remained at their former polling locations.
Check your registration status. If your name is missing, contact INEC and establish what happened. Do not wait until election day.
INEC says the final register is expected to be published on 15 December 2026.
We must scrutinise it.
A credible election does not begin when the ballot box is opened. It begins with a credible voters' register, continues with proper accreditation and transparent counting, and ends with verifiable results.
We cannot afford to be casual about any of these stages.
EVERY ELIGIBLE VOTER MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR. EVERY INVALID REGISTRATION MUST BE REMOVED. EVERY OFFICIAL WHO MANIPULATED THE PROCESS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
2027 must not be an election in which Nigerians discover the problems after the results have been declared.
The time to demand transparency is now.
And don't forget that we won't be going to court this time around.
The election shall be determined in the field.
Rig and what?
