thebosstrevor1: Like literally, most of the global layoff all over the world including Nigeria have been in the tech industry, from twitter, coinbase, amazon, jumai to Quidax.
Seems like tech businesses aren't recession proof.
First and foremost the businesses in tech are over valued because of speculation and ipo purposes, they employ a lot of people and then when recession comes, they are always the first to layoff lot of workers.
Till today, i still dont understand why tech companies will have 5k to 50k workers.
Back in the days, you only need 5 to 10 employees to run a very successful tech business. And most of these businesses were profitable.
Anything built on capitalism lie are all scam and destined to collapse.

Betterdays007: This morning, I went for a job interview for the position of a customer care representative. I stammer actually and I knew it was likely I wouldn't get the job. I met with their HR and we had conversation and during the conversation he asked if I was a stammerer and I answered in the affirmative, then he told me that I can't work as a customer care representative in their company due to my deficiency. I jus waka jeje comot there.
There are stammerers who only stammer when casually talking but once is official one would argue otherwise. But if yours is irrespective such job ain't for you.

EriMma1: There's this person I brought into my line of job. When I brought her in, I wanted her to learn the job very well for like 6 months or a year before she can launch out to get her own clients and be on her own but she left three weeks after following me a few times. She felt she has gotten the hang of the job and started getting her own clients and has been on her own since last year. I overlooked all that. She then started calling me along the line to teach or show her somethings on the job to which I refused because she left of her own accord knowing full well she has not learnt all there is to learn.
Now, there was a place I submitted my proposal letter and after they called me. We had a chat and after a good bargain, they told me to resume the following week. Two days to resumption, they called and told me to hold on. So I felt they got a better bargain. It pained me and I told this person all that happened and what I charged them. After that, I got two other clients who paid the same amount I charged the one that flopped. So I used those ones to console myself and moved on but was still hoping that they would get back to me someday.
Fast-forward to last week. This close pal of mine I trained on the job told me she got a call. In fact she went to that same place I told her I lost an opportunity and submitted a proposal. They now called her and she offered them lower charges and she was given the job.
At first I felt stabbed because she knew about my ordeal with the same company. I just chose not to discuss it further.
Ok, last year, I confided in her that I want to review my charges with my old clients. Like those I've been with for 4 , 5 years. Today, she called saying she reviewed her charges too with her clients. O boy! Because I reviewed, you too review? I mean something she started last year, she's already reviewing just because I told her I did and my clients have responded to it. These are clients I've had for years and you've only had yours for a few months, cos she started mid last year and she's already increasing fees. Is that how things are done? Anyways I didn't try to warn her of the implication of such act.
Now, I feel this person is just trying to compete with me and I'm thinking it's high time I start concealing somethings from her.
What do you think? Is it safe to continue divulging my plans to this person or am I overreacting?
This people stupidity is out of this world, first they left the people and authorities concerned chasing shadows. Bringing any presidential candidate into this is ridiculous calling out politicians at this crucial time of electioneering is wickedness. The simple thing is to setup a good and within 24hrs these individuals they were attacking would eventually know about it. Saying if it's Lagos state blah blah blah is self-destruction.
Revolva: Take a look at some of the Nigerian musicians who had to endure the huge embarrassment of tumbling and falling down right in front of their fans.
Without a doubt, Nigerian musicians are generally known to be very energetic while performing on stage. They know how to get the crowd screaming with excitement as they work to give their fans their money’s worth during concerts and other shows.
Jumping, gyrating, dancing, Nigerian artists surely know how to give their all to their audiences. However, the excitement experienced during these energetic performances can get too overwhelming sometimes, causing some of these artists to tumble and fall off the stage.
But, it is noteworthy that sometimes, it’s not even the adrenaline that causes the fall. Sometimes it is faulty stage arrangements and sometimes it can be the carelessness of the artist. Whatever the case, a number of Nigerian artists are on record to have fallen on stage when performing.
In this article, we will show you some of these musicians who had to endure the huge embarrassment of tumbling and falling down right in front of their fans.
1. Wizkid
Wizkid is widely regarded to be one of the greatest Nigerians to ever hold the microphone. Also a Grammy award winner, Wizkid happens to be the most awarded Nigerian singer ever. He is no doubt, also one of the most loved artists in the music industry and this is evident in the way fans outdo themselves to prove their love for the music star.
Wizkid is also a master of stage performances. But he too suffered an embarrassing fall during one of his performances. The incident happened at his 2021 Starboy Fest in Lagos. In Wizkid’s case, it was not a tumble, instead, he fell because fans were trying to cling to him at all costs.
Like other shows where Wizkid has performed, the event was not free of drama, as over-excited fans struggled to get to him. During the performance, an excited fan held one of his legs and refused to let go. This caused a mild drama as fans started screaming and bodyguards struggled to release Wizkid’s leg to avoid a fall on stage.
However, it was unsuccessful for some minutes as Wizkid fell on stage while the fan held onto his leg.

Burna Boy had just finished telling the guests how excited he was to be on stage when he teased them with one of his new songs. However, because he was obviously not looking at the spaced skirting at the edge of the stage, Burna tumbled off the stage and fell hard. However, within seconds he was back up like nothing happened and then began performing.
The 2012 Headies award show was not the only time Burna Boy has fallen on stage. In 2022, the Grammy winner fell again on stage, this time at his London Concert.

Leoniel Messi, Fernández Torris, and Micheal Obi all played @ the same era but where is Micheal today. So do it right. Avoiding cheating.
Now it's obvious that some media are bent on adding more fuel to the raging fire?
After saying all these, the PPRO ended by asserting that this isn't to absolve him as he's facing the music and that Lagos State Govt and not the police is prosecuting him.
This headline is pure gaslighting and I urge the MODs to take it down.
Eriokanmi: Maybe...a spell by the relatives of the innocent lives he had taken or people he had extorted in the course of his duty . Karma isn't wicked, it will strike at the appropriate time.
Ever thought the karma could be otherwise as in the side of the slain legal luminary.
Think9ja: To be honest, if you read what happened, you'll understand why the police is saying this.
From what we heard, it was a stop and search operation. The police man was said to have asked them to pull over. As they were waiting for the car in front of them to move so that they could park well, the unfortunate incident happened.
I mean, there was no justification whatsoever for him to have done that. The first thing that came to my mind when I read that story was accidental discharge of firearm.
The story went further to say that the suspect also threatened to shoot the sister of the deceased. Asin, does that look ordinary? I think he panicked or something like that.
Honestly, I feel for both families. The family of the deceased for losing a loved one and the family of the suspect for the shame and misery he brought to them. Thirty three years of service all gone down the drain in split seconds. He's definitely going to spend a long time in prison.
I know we're angry and disappointed. But after all the emotions, let's sit down to properly analysed what might have happened. Let's temper Justice with mercy.
Would I have said this if she was my loved one? I don't know.
RIP to her and I pray the family gets the fortitude to bear this grate lost and I pray justice is served.
Just two years to his retirement, it's either he or she had cut short someone else's joy in the past hence the diabolical manipulation.
