@Imranmuhdz Nonsense idea for two reasons: (1) no where in the world is that successfully practiced. Please don’t say Mexico (2) Removes that powerful incentive to perform.
Why is conversation on term limits always limited to the executive? Why are lawmakers exempted from that discourse?
After prayer this morning, I called my wife as I always do when we have a very serious thing to talk about.
"Madam, we may have an issue at hand," i said.
"What is it?" she replied.
The World Cup matches fall at midnights. This is a major...
She cuts in,hissed, & left.
😅😅
@FolaMyFlower This reminds me of a conversation I had with an elderly woman. She said it’s the women that never wants to go back home, and the men are more open to returning.
I think many women are less ambitious, and are generally content with the ceiling abroad than men.
We kept our promise.
No Ghanaian has been abandoned in harm's way.
About a thousand Ghanaians have now been evacuated from South Africa by the Government of Ghana following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks.
Last night, it was a profound honour to welcome our fellow nationals with love, warmth and the pride of being a servant leader in a great country which does not forsake our citizens, particularly in time of distress.
But our work is far from over — we shall ensure reintegration with dignity, medical and psychosocial support, pursue compensation for those who have left properties and businesses behind, secure jobs for folks able to work and intensify our efforts towards achieving Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's Pan-African dream of genuine African integration.
I commend dedicated staff of the Foreign Ministry; our High Commission in Pretoria; colleague ministers; senior government officials; partner state institutions including GAF, GACL, GCAA, NADMO, GIS, GPS; the IOM; Ethiopian Airlines and the media for the flawless and efficient execution.
We are grateful to Ghanaian CEOs for their remarkable partnership with us aimed at creating employment opportunities for our returning nationals.
God bless President John Mahama for his inspiring and outstanding leadership and guidance.
The Mahama Administration shall continue to defend the rights of our cherished citizens, serve with compassion and safeguard the welfare of ALL GHANAIANS.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾
When people ask me why I still believe in sports as a pathway for youth development, stories like this are part of my answer.
Somebody sent me the Zadok Yohanna story this morning and honestly, I had to read it twice.
Born in Bauchi. Moved to Kaduna on his own as a young boy to chase a football dream. Flew to Sweden less than a year ago. And today, at just 18 years old, Brighton have reportedly signed him for £21.5 million, beating some of the biggest clubs in world football to secure his signature.
Think about that for a moment.
A teenager from northern Nigeria, armed with little more than talent, discipline and determination, has forced his way into one of the most competitive talent markets on earth.
This is why I will always believe in investing in young people. Not because every child will become a professional footballer, but because talent exists everywhere in this country. What is often missing is opportunity, structure, support and belief.
My vision in establishing the Kwara Football Academy and @ABSIlorinFC was rooted in this same belief, and it has given opportunities to players like Dennis Emmanuel Bonaventure, Olusegun Oakunle, Benjamin Frederick, Mubarak Gata, David Okoromi and a host of others now plying their trade in both local and international clubs.
Nigerians are an extraordinarily talented people. That has never been in question. What stories like Zadok’s remind us is what can happen when talent meets opportunity.
I encourage the Nigeria Football Federation @thenff, the National Sports Commission @NatSportsComm, and the National Institute for Sports, to look into creating the enabling environment for more football academies aimed at discovering more talents like Zadok Yohanna, as the global searchlight beams on Nigeria as the football destination for Africa.
To every young person chasing a dream that seems impossible today: keep going. Your current circumstances do not have to define your future.
And to Zadok: Congratulations! The whole world can now see your talent, but this is only the beginning. Keep working, stay grounded, and never forget the journey that brought you here. As you said yourself, “I know where I came from.” Hold on to that mindset.
The reason why a Danish pension fund banned its investors from buying any SpaceX shares is not just the appalling S-1 filings, where the ONLY profitable segment was Starlink (everything else - the AI, social media, the orbital data centre plans, is burning money at a rate that will bankrupt most companies on this planet).
It’s also the governance structure they don’t want to buy into.
Elon Musk holds roughly 85% of voting power through a dual-class share structure. He serves as CEO, CTO and chairman of the board, and he cannot be removed as CEO without his own consent.
Now, given his personality:
- erratic
- narcissistic
- with self-confessed (and self-evident) ketamine drug addiction
- appalling personal life (kids across multiple mothers, and yes - that matters in business)
- fringe political views, etc. etc.
It is NO surprise that competent investors would not risk the money of their clients.
The world is changing and people agreeing to play roulette with their clients’ money are coming to an end. Also, many haven’t forgotten 2008, and yes - the American system (or lack of one, especially guardrails) is still blamed for causing that global recession.
Scarcity will lead to investments flowing into more stable, reputable and sustainable ventures.
Both my parents were Fulani, I’m proudly Fulani. I’ve never killed even a lizard in my entire life & I don’t want land outside my hometown of Yola.
So please, when a bandit who happens to be Fulani commits a crime, call them by their names. We the Fulani people didn’t send them.
@secmxx Honestly, we keep embarrassing ourselves in the eyes of the world. How can our leaders be so shameless and stupid. See what the country has been reduced to.
