Senator Karimi has been the best senator so far for me, in Kogi west. They almost hijacked his win at the primaries, but God pass them.

The same VDM that called for donations to meet the ransome payment.

"Can people eat it?" is a strange standard. People can't eat roads, bridges, or hospitals either. The point is to build an economy where people can earn enough to buy food, not expect the government to feed them forever.

You spoke, just like i would love to. Keep being wise and sound.

You took this step after building a financial fortune through the years from the same Uk, Got an ILR, and can come back with all those to set up a business. The future is well set for you. This is the crux of your decision. I read through this easily.

Man only depressed. Just need Medical help and will be great

Nigeria has talent. That is not in doubt.
But talent alone is not enough in a global market.

Recently, the CEO of Moniepoint mentioned they had over 500 open roles they struggled to fill with Nigerians who meet global standards. That statement may sound harsh, but it reflects a reality many recruiters quietly deal with every day.

The jobs exist. The opportunities exist.
But there’s a gap between available talent and job readiness.

Let’s be honest about why.

Yes, our education system is struggling. Many graduates leave school without practical, job-ready skills. But beyond that, there are patterns we need to confront ourselves.

Take social media, for example.
Entertainment dominates attention. Comedy, gossip, and viral trends outperform thoughtful, educational content almost every time.

And no—it’s not just “the algorithm.”
The algorithm amplifies what we consistently choose.

When serious conversations struggle to gain traction, while light content spreads rapidly, it reflects a deeper preference. Over time, that preference shapes our thinking, our habits, and ultimately, our competence.

We are living in an era where the internet gives us access to world-class knowledge—for free.
Yet many people spend hours consuming content that adds little to their growth.

That is not just a technology problem.
It is a discipline problem.

But that’s only one side of the story.

Recruiters hiring Nigerians often highlight additional challenges:

- Skill mismatch: Degrees that don’t align with industry needs, especially in tech, finance, and operations.

- Poor communication skills: Difficulty expressing ideas clearly, both in writing and speaking.

- Lack of problem-solving ability: Many candidates struggle with practical thinking beyond theory.

- Inconsistent work ethic: Not necessarily laziness, but lack of structure, focus, and follow-through.

- Entitlement mindset: Expecting high pay or senior roles without demonstrable skills or experience.

- Weak digital literacy: Basic tools like spreadsheets, email etiquette, or documentation are often underdeveloped.

- Poor interview preparation: Candidates showing up without researching the company or role.

- Limited accountability: Blaming external factors without actively improving personal capacity.

These are uncomfortable truths, but ignoring them doesn’t make them disappear.

At the same time, it’s important to acknowledge systemic realities—unemployment pressure, economic instability, and limited access to quality training also play a role. Not everyone starts from the same position.

Still, personal responsibility remains a powerful lever.

So what can you actually do?

1. Be intentional about what you consume.
If your screen time doesn’t challenge you, it is limiting you.

2. Engage with content that stretches your thinking.
The most valuable insights are often not the most popular.

3. Learn how money works.
Financial literacy is no longer optional.

4. Build a practical digital skill.
It doesn’t have to be advanced—start with competence, then grow.

5. Strengthen your communication.
Clear thinking and clear expression will set you apart.

6. Develop consistency and discipline.
Talent without structure rarely scales.

7. Work on your character.
Skills may get you hired, but reliability, attitude, and integrity keep you employed.


There are opportunities out there. Real ones.
But opportunity does not automatically translate to access.

Preparation is the bridge.

The seats may be empty.
The real question is: are you becoming the kind of person who can sit in one?

SPOT ON !!!

Sirchiboy:
I have an uncle who is a teacher that married a Lady , no skill or education.
He married her because she is fair.
Guess what , this uncle couldnt achieve anything throughtout his 35 years of teaching.
All his salary was used to pay debt his wife push him into.
If not for their first daughter that married a well to do man who helped him to build a house on his land he bought from his gratuity.
This man would have just grow old and go without anything.
I don't pity him because he caused and brought that upon himself.

It was a long term investment. I am sure his daughter is equally fair, from her mum's Genes. Now the ROI came in at retirement. Nothing to pity him about, he was strategic, cant you see?

Let us see if it will be a flex announcing next year - The Tax man is at the corner.

This was premeditated, Cant you see his reaction afterwards?

Xpress payment have been incharge of revenue collection for Ogun state parastatals. I know of this , a while now.

Just transfer your credits

Princess might as well want to go to supreme court.

Another leads will be employed to be controlled for the same role. The guys who controls the media are the ones to change .

Very Levelheaded and fine Officer. We no longer see their type around these days.

Replacing marriage with family. I hope she manages the wealth she manage to salvage from the union. Cos Family will end up leaving when things stop being rosy.

Nathaniel Bassey's channel is non-monetized. YOu could have checked this first before posting this. Same for the Op that pushed this to front page. Do better please.

He is definitely highlighting a part of his book, when his daughter was asked what his Dad does she replied " He sleeps all day". A turning point in the life of Fote.

She seem very bored and just wanted to be useful for an amebo cause.

Can this be a case of suffocation in sleep. He probably needed to take sleep, slept off while parked and windows up. Limited oxygen to his lungs and that will be the end.

Once checked out the Bybit p2p platform and the way JAIZ bank related accounts get locked in with big transfers shows a lot. Seem the bank has more things going on , than is visible to everyone.

No profit made yet. If his working Capital is assumed to be the 60 dollars.

The divorce process may be having a toll on him. I hope he gets back with his wife. He seems to have a lovely family.

Finally! Someone has mentioned that part of the song that others have failed to notice or completely ignore.

Burn the world? Which world do you want to burn. a World in which evil men and seduces will wax worse and worse.

Shift the culture? Which culture do you want to shift. When we are clearly warned that we are not to conform to the world's way of thinking and living. Christians do not change the world; they change themselves first.

And who told you you are to raise the dead? Christ followers follow Jesus in his teachings and in the way he lived his ordinary day to day life on earth; and not necessarily in his ministry. God works through a few of his Children to heal the sick and raise the dead. Many christians today just want fame and acclaim that comes from a ministry of 'raising the dead'.

Spend the billions? When Jesus has warned us against striving to get wealth. In the kingdom of God, financial wealth is neutral. It means absolutely nothing! Paul even warns Timothy that *they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare and pierce their heart with many sorrows"

And they want to hear well done? Well done for what? For following their own gospel, not Christ.

Oh! It's really sad to see the level of compromise that has eaten into many people's heart. We will not be many ooo. On the last day, we will be few. That's a fact!

I see gatekeeping written all over this. Self-righteousness and inability to adjust to biblical consciousness.

BrickDevo:
we are not lacking in skills, we are lacking in funds and resources to start up a profitable business, now tell me what resources was provided to them?

Speak for yourself. You think people that went for the training did because they do not need the skills?

Academically robust i must say. Not so much to see in industry field experience.

Not even up to 1 MW. Well still better than nothing.

THe pictures don't justify the "global" connotation.

I once did a Lagos to Dubai on an A380. It was such a delight to be on that flight. It has stairs leading to the upper deck for the Business and First-class travelers. The in-flight experience was superb.

Finally, an end to IPMAN and PENGASAN powers. These guys were used to cause political issues - From hoarding to strikes. God bless Dangote.

This must be very heartbreaking. The sad reality is that the 'Pastor' may have several of this type of relationship with other women.

MetaMatrix:
Electricity is not a state thing. Its national. So..... definitely,,the President did it. Not the governor. He couldn't have done it. You'll know this if the president ever loses

That changed. You need to acquaint yourself with the new electricity Law.

RealLordZeus:
oh... The Brazilian President has four fingers on his left hand, i wonder the story behind it

That is so observant of you. I never noticed it at first glance. He probably has an accident at some point in life.
