@igorhansachat Problem 3 & 4 are the most annoying simply because of their spontaneity. And there's a cap on sick days for children, plus insurance may not fully offset the lost wages for those days.

This is an opportunity for @Ojukwu_Bianca and @NigeriaMFA to start a necessary conversation with these foreign missions. The ask is not complicated. @UKinNigeria is already leading on this; the standard exists and it works.

I wish this also fell under @BTOofficial and the Ministry of Interior. Because they never miss opportunities like this. Fingers crossed on immediate actions.

[Germany in Nigeria @GERinNigeria]

🇩🇪Germany is strengthening its partnership with 🇳🇬Nigeria through a forward-looking talent exchange initiative, shifting beyond traditional aid to a strategic alliance focused on skilled labour mobility.

At a recent ICT and Labour Mobility conference hosted by AHK Nigeria and GTAI, key stakeholders explored opportunities in digital skills mobility 🖥️, remote work ecosystems 🌍, vocational partnerships 🎓, and innovation programmes 🚀.

With Germany facing workforce gaps and Nigeria experiencing a growth in its pool of digital talent, both nations are working towards collaboration for long-term co-creation and shared growth.

It is technologically impossible for the Nigeria Democratic Congress website, as presently constituted, to register 10 million members in 24 hours. In fact, no single website in Africa has the capability to register 10 million distinct, data-intensive users within 24 hours.

Registering that number of people in 24 hours requires extremely intensive server capacity, especially when processing biometric, biodata, or biographic information.

Even ChatGPT took 40 days to register 10 million users. And X (formerly Twitter) has never registered 10 million new users in 24 hours.

About the only website on Earth ever to reach 10 million registered users in 24 hours or less is Threads, and they only did so because it is owned by Meta (Facebook), which automatically integrated users who were already registered on Instagram and Facebook.

Perhaps political parties can be more cautious in their claims if they want to be taken seriously by the public.

@arojinle1 Without judging this claim, we should avoid “epistemic violence”. Western science must not be the sole standard for assessing Indigenous knowledge.

🚨🇺🇳 BREAKING: The United Nations has voted 123-3 in favor to condemn the enslavement of millions of Africans and the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The three countries voting against it:

🇺🇸 USA
🇮🇱 Israel
🇦🇷 Argentina

Nearly all of Europe abstained.

@arojinle1 Being overweight (obesity) can be a medical condition and, while, excercising can help with their cardiovascular health, it may not be sufficient to reduce their weight/size.

@DrOlusesan @Ani_Kayode When all some people focus on is what’s wrong about the country, they are blind to what's good about it. This is an "obsession with bad news" and it shapes how they think and feel. Classifying it as a mental health crisis, can change the approach to it.

[Son of David @DrOlusesan]

@Ani_Kayode If the news had listed Ghana as part of the top contributors to global real GDP while Nigeria is projected to have negative growth, you all would see GDP as meaningful and a talking point to talk down on the country. This is a sadist behaviour and a clinical mental health case.

@HRH_bankeoniru @Wizarab10 Being Lagosian is similar to being a Londoner. A Lagosian is someone who lives in Lagos, was born there, or is socially and culturally formed by the city. Indigene of Lagos is an ancestral identity! The rule of thumb to claim ancestry is around 5 generations back (150–180 yrs).

[Samson Ajagbe @samsonajagbe]

@HRH_bankeoniru @Wizarab10 We must not conflate a “Lagosian” with an indigene, who are the Awori, Egun, Eko, and others who established or have long been in the areas of what we now call Lagos. I think the state govt should include this history in the Social Studies curriculum for pry & secondary schools.

@NOELreports It’s a classic case of “who pays the piper dictates the tune.”

[Samson Ajagbe @samsonajagbe]

@ifedayo_johnson @zeesol16 Does it mean he got married to the lady in absentia? If this is the case, that is grounds for suspecting a “proxy marriage.” Such marriages often fail to gain legal recognition, and deemed fake. That could be the reason for the visa refusal and ban.

@BashirAhmaad A census that the Census Tribunal invalidated! The FG used its might to discredit the result of the “state census” conducted alongside it. It was challenged by Lagos State in court, the state won, but you know what the federal might is.

[Samson Ajagbe @samsonajagbe]

@ObaOfVibes Allegation is by definition an unverified claim! Yet people have rushed to treat this allegation as though it is a verified claim.

[Samson Ajagbe @samsonajagbe]

@gboyegaakosile @jidesanwoolu It is also worth noting that the Lagos–FG monetary ratio is roughly 5:1. In other words, Lagos contributes about five times more than the allocation it receives. And considering its population size, Lagos deserves a special status in Nigeria.

At the very least, they should be using 'South of the Sahara.' The term 'sub' is not only geographically nonexistent; it also continues to relegate the people of the region.

"We should be concerned that it’s only the people who were considered as sub human in history who are being referred to as sub-Saharan Africans."
