Cristiano Ronaldo is just like an old wine that gets sweeter by the day. Scoring an hattrick at 37yrs old in a very competitive league is not what you see everyday. Ororo is not just a legend, he's a cult figure in Man utd, Madrid, Portugal & Juventus!

@KStressacchi I get emotional when i see someone battling cancer due to my lived experience of seeing a family member suffer same. A lot of options both spiritual & medical will be suggested to them but Stage 4 cancer is near irreversible except a miracle happens.

[Michael 💎 @barnaby04]

The family of Sir Taiwo Hassan should be careful about the options they seek from the public at this stage cos It's only a medical miracle that can reverse a cancer that has progressed to stage 4. Palliative end of life care is what most doctors will suggest at this stage.

These are folks working day & night to earn a decent income to support themselves & extended families back in their country of origin but your hatred for immigrants & laziness is what makes you think everyone is a leech on the state welfare system like you & your ilks does.

Why did you fail to tell your followers that immigrants pay £1,035 upfront per year before using the NHS which generates billions annually to the government's purse and still pay NI deductions? You guys need to stop this satanic propaganda against immigrants.

🚨12 workers from Cameroon sponsored 180 dependents to come to Britain last year.

1029 Pakistani workers brought in 6155 dependents.

230 Nigerians brought in 1114.

257 Ghanaians brought in 2131.

2395 Indians brought in 10504 dependents.

The Health and Care visa program - introduced by the Tories - is an industrial scale scam on the British people.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Reform will NOT allow them to stay.

Cape Verde Vs Argentina would perhaps rank as the best game of this world cup. They arrived as number 67 in the world & distinguished themselves by never losing a game in 90mins of play & forced Argentina to an extra time high tension game before the Albiceleste finally won!

I have never believed in using agents to process school admission or visa application when you can do it yourself. A lot of visa agents in Nigeria are worse than bandits.

[Gossip Mill Nigeria @GossipMillNaija]

Just in: “Nigerians please come and help me, I used My entire Life Savings N18Million to pay a Traveling agent N18Million to do Canada visa for me, and they Falsified my bank document and now Canada has denied my Visa and banned me for 5 years, the travel agent has refused to refund my N18m, my life is finished” - Nigerian Lady cries out!

@chinenyeway The best advice anyone can give your friend is to send the child back to her country of origin to complete her secondary school education and have rest rather than lose the child to the system here in the UK.

Religion has done more harm than good to the black race which is why people have this kind of mindset. We were first a people of culture & values before we had contact with Christianity or Islamic religion. Relegating ones culture at the expense of a religion is quite funny.

[𝑰𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒔 𝑨. 𝑶𝒏𝒊 PhD @IdrisAOni1]

I am first and foremost a Muslim. I am an adherent of Islam, an Abrahamic believer, and a Hanif before anything else. Only then am I Yorùbá.

To those who have made it their mission to question the loyalty of Yorùbá Muslims, you may continue your attacks. But know this: for a true Muslim, Islam will always come first. It precedes ethnicity, culture, and nationality because it is the primordial covenant with our Creator.

A Yorùbá Muslim is not conflicted in his identity. He was a Muslim in the divine decree long before he was conceived, and he entered the world as Yorùbá the day he was born to Yorùbá parents. These two identities are not rivals—they are perfectly compatible. One defines his eternal soul and purpose; the other shapes his language, culture, and earthly heritage. Both have their rightful place.

If any Yorùbá Muslim chooses, for whatever reason, to place ethnicity above Islam, then that person has failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of our faith: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and nothing has precedence over Him. Such a person's reckoning is with Allah alone.

My identity is clear and unapologetic: Islam first. Always. Everything else follows in its proper order.

That land you bought for 2.5M and they told you is now worth 40M? Try selling it and find out.
You can have a 300M real estate portfolio, need 20M to sort something, and not get a buyer for that land/house in 6 months.

Does anyone want to share career hacks with us?????

[Man of Letters. @Letter_to_Jack]

Let me share a hack: If the locked phone is more than 3yrs old (from production date), you can easily unlock it without paying a kobo.

Go to the website of the carrier it’s locked on, look for “unlock device”, enter your IMEI, and wait for 72hours.

Your phone will be unlocked.

[Sola 🇨🇦 @SolaTheAnalyst]

Eight years as a senior data analyst in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Landed in Canada 🇨🇦 and spent months getting rejected for customer service jobs. Apple Store. Call centres. Everything.

Then I walked into a cold calling interview. Loud music. Phones everywhere. They handed me a script.

Made my first cold call. The lady heard my accent and ended the call immediately.😭 (God abeg x 3)

I kept going. Got through the day and got the job offer on the spot.

35k a year. Five days in office. 8am starts.

I asked if that was the best they could do.

He said yes.

I took the offer letter home. Showed my wife.

She looked me in the eye and said that was below me.

That week I stopped applying sideways and went back to data.

Three months later I was hired as lead analyst in a Fortune 500 company.

Nigerian professionals living abroad, what was the moment that made you realize you needed to stop chasing survival jobs?

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly.

We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause.

Our education system has been deeply compromised.

A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous:

“You do not need competence to succeed.”

WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.”

And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear.

It won’t.

A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses.

This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from.

Not because Nigerians are not intelligent.
Not because our youths are lazy.
But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered.

The painful part is this:

UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum.

The difference is standards.

The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud.

The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized.

Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly.

And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price.

That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge.

That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient.

That compromised accountant may manage public funds.

That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again.

This is no longer just an education problem.

It is a national security problem.

Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely.

Singapore did it.
China did it.
Germany did it.
South Korea did it.

You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity.

Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent.
Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence.

And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence.

This fight is bigger than schools.

It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.
