Crossing ~1m users in 4 days is mind blowing. Lagos Life Game needs to survive beyond the buzz. Stronger systems, partnerships, funding, team, technology, and community, is most needed

Latinos really were natural Republicans.
Since USAID was dismantled, the left has not won a single election in Latin America, by the way.

Two truths can run simultaneously. It should be noted that Spear Head is pro Eastern Bloc and Anti West, and so tends to project actions of the Eastern Bloc on a positive. Should the Nigerian Government protect the retail market? Yes.

Should Nigeria invest more in more in manufacturing and take advantage of the Chinese Zero Tariff policy and the African Free Trade Agreement, yes. Viewing every action from the lens of West vs East is a lazy man’s way of viewing the world

Impressive!

Cote d'Ivoire was the best African (CAF) team in the Fifa 2026 World Cup in my opinion, but they lacked the conviction that they were.

🇨🇮 Ivory Coast had all the talent and gameplay to advance deep into the tournament but lacked will power and effort. Played as though they should have been begged to go top gear; Did not convert opportunities at the final third, and sometimes sloppy. Disgraceful!

Dr. Joe Abah isn't the SI Unit for wisdom, is he? You very well understand public policies and proposals require public scrutiny irrespective of the individual who formulated and drafted the said policy or reform.
Everyone now has takes on the new NYSC reform. Even those with half the wisdom of @DrJoeAbah Social media sef.

You ask these because Germany and Netherland lost; don't fix what isn't broken.
From @TheAthleticFC: Penalty shootouts are brutal. Is there a better way to settle tied games? A fairer way? A more fitting test of skills? We asked our writers and this is what they think the World Cup can steal from other sports: nyti.ms/3SAbKgI

My viewpoint on these centers on the "duplication" of activities that secondary and tertiary institutions are currently handling. The last I checked Civic Education is a core subject taken at SSCE. "Entrepreneurship" now a buzz word, is a program mandatory across some TI in 🇳🇬
NYSC REFORMS: On camping, the approved proposal is two weeks of civic, leadership, and life skills training; two weeks of basic accounting and financial literacy, access to finance, business planning, and career mapping; and the last two weeks would be a short immersion into your area of interest. So, you may have read English but be really interested in tech, environment and climate, or the creative sector. Camps will be certified and graded to ensure that they meet minimum standards. State governments will be given a grace period during which to ensure they meet the standards for infrastructure, accommodation, safety and security and healthcare. Posting will ordinarily be done impersonally using an algorithm that considers factors like state of origin, state of residence, school attended, etc. Posting to security flashpoints will be risk-sensitive and people who are not indigenes of those areas or are already residing in those areas should not be posted there. Regarding the timing of commencement and wider consultation, the NYSC Act would need to be amended for the changes to take effect. This should include public consultations and public hearings. Every legislation passed and assented to is a product of a series of compromises. Good morning.

Oh gosh! Lmao 😂 Local assembly won’t be the reason for the cost increase. When memory prices skyrocketed from $5/7 to $45/50 in less than a year, it was bound to happen! Just check the price of a techno pop 9. Then assembly and QC on ng will be a problem. Managing components having to run the multimedia room Omo ! All the best to anyone who takes this up
