🚨 NGOs ARE BEING USED TO HELP INTERNATIONAL GRADUATES “STOP” THEIR OPT CLOCK WITH UNPAID WORK.

One website, OPT4Humanity, literally advertises unpaid OPT labor to nonprofits and startups.

It tells organizations they can bring on international graduates as:

• Unpaid volunteers
• Equity-compensated workers
• Project-based collaborators
• Part-time employees

And here’s the sales pitch:

“Your mission moves forward without adding payroll cost.”

The site says most placements are part-time and remote.

It also explains what’s at stake for the graduate:

“Without a role, a graduate’s time in the U.S. can end on a deadline.”

And:

“Don’t let the 90-day unemployment clock pressure your job search.”

OPT4Humanity currently shows 3,560 candidate profiles.

And it’s not alone.

A LinkedIn post telling international students how to “stop your OPT clock” lists 12 NGOs, nonprofits and platforms, including OPT4Humanity and Community Dreams Foundation.

The arrangement:

Organizations get skilled labor with little or no payroll cost.
OPT graduates get qualifying activity that can stop the unemployment clock.

Unpaid work can be permitted under regular OPT when it meets federal requirements.

But how large is this ecosystem of NGOs and nonprofits providing unpaid work that allows international graduates to remain in the U.S. while searching for paid employment?

On the day I left office, I left more than US$150 million as the dollar component of my investment in Anambra State as governor. I hereby provide documents that can be verified with the various banks. Had it remained untouched, this investment was expected to provide Anambra State with approximately US$10 million in annual income.

Even if their assertion were accurate—which it is not—that Anambra owed US$123 million, the government could have used the US$10 million generated annually from my savings to reduce the debt. It has now been 13 years since I left office, which would amount to US$130 million. The debt should have been fully settled by now.

Had they retained the funds I left in the bank, including the compound interest on the principal and the additional income, the total would be approximately US$335 million today. If they had chosen to repay the US$92.35 million funding, the entire amount would have been covered, leaving approximately US$242 million to be reinvested. That sum would have generated about US$20 million annually for Anambra State.

Let me reiterate that, when I left office, I left Anambra State in a strong financial position—the strongest of any state in Nigeria—and I stand by that position.

Through this clarification, I wish to state categorically that I will neither engage nor trade words with anyone regarding my tenure in Anambra State. My focus will now be on issues affecting the suffering Nigerian masses, which is the reason for my presidential ambition.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

How am I supposed to boot up my boring corporate laptop tomorrow when my computer at home starts like this?

[Ndubuisi Ekekwe @ndekekwe]

I have been building things since my days at FUT Owerri, where we launched the university’s first campus FM radio station. In industry, I served as a global lead ASIC design engineer, helping to develop the inertial sensors used in the early versions of the iPhone. I also invented a wafer-level chip-scale packaging technology for inertial sensors. Till today, the US Government has continued to honour royalties for using my PhD research and the patent that came out of it. I am a Nigerian and I build things!

Good People, when we engineered a native blockchain for Contisx Securities Exchange, we saw an opportunity to extend that operating system into a new category of secure communication. That vision led us to build the Contisx Phone, a cryptographically secured blockchain phone designed to deliver superior communication security for individuals, companies and governments.

Nigerian cosplayer Lazeelolita started making her own costumes because she couldn’t easily find them in Lagos.
Now, she’s among thousands of young Africans turning their love of anime into communities, content and creative businesses.

And you with all your marketing, HyperFX that only launched 2 months ago has processed more volumes than you.

Hyperbridge alone has processed 100 times your volume.

Embarrassing
