Nigeria needs to enforce this same law immediately. Too many empty headed people now claim to be social media influencers, without even understanding what the term means and connotes.

Who else noticed a difference in language between the 5th Paragraph here, and the previous 4 Paragraphs? How flowery and trickish of Access Bank. Read it again closely...

IYGEAL:
Peers in the insurance sector have left LASACO behind, weirdly.

MBENEFIT was selling 67 kobo a few weeks ago. It's now selling above LASACO.

They say LASACO has too much OS abi float.

Yes,the bolded are delisting by voluntary.
He should tell us why Deap cap should be delisted.
Is there result not up to date at NSE?
Are they not organizing AGM for shareholders?

A company can't be delisted because they are making losses.
What of Ftn cocoa,Daar com,omatek etc.
They should also be delisted
DAAR Communications Plc, owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT), have dismissed reports that the station has shut down its Lagos operations.

The clarification comes amid reports that the broadcast outfit is facing financial and operational challenges, allegedly forcing it to close its Lagos bureau.

In a telephone conversation with TheCable, Collins Uwaeze, marketing executive at DAAR Communications, described the report as “very untrue”.

Uwaeze assured staff members that their jobs are secure, adding that the company is rightsizing to improve workflow and efficiency.

“The report of AIT Lagos closure is very untrue. What we have is a realignment aimed at making the company more efficient,” Uwaeze said.

“We are rightsizing to ensure optimal operations, but the jobs of our staff are still intact.”

A staff member who did not want to be named told TheCable that the station was still on air, noting that some restructurings are ongoing.

“It’s not true that AIT Lagos has shut down. The station is still broadcasting. What’s happening is downsizing and multitasking—people are doing more roles to keep operations running,” the source said.

Founded in 1996 by the late Raymond Dokpesi, AIT operates alongside RayPower FM and Faaji FM under the DAAR Communications group and has been recognised for pioneering private broadcasting in Nigeria.

LMAO. Why?

Because I like my freedom here. I can actually do what I want. I recently got piercings on both ears, and I know once my parents see me, I won’t get a return ticket to this place. So, no, thank you.

Do you see yourself staying back after school?

LMAO. No, please. I want to leave this dead place and go somewhere else. I don’t want to start my career in Nigeria sha. Affliction shall not rise again. Maybe when I’m much older and rich enough to start businesses, I’ll consider it. Even as an undergraduate, I don’t think I’m going back to Nigeria anytime soon.

What’s your social life like in Debrecen?

It’s almost non-existent. I don’t make friends easily so I have a very small circle of Nigerians here. I also have one Hungarian friend, but that’s about it. As for going out, Hungary is a dead place. I wasn’t kidding at all. It can be 7:30 p.m. and the streets will be empty. Nothing goes on here, so I just stay in my room and chill.

Also, Debrecen is a really small city. It’s smaller than Gwarimpa Estate, the biggest estate in Abuja. I think that size influenced the population, which could be a reason why nothing ever happens there.

What happened?

School here is really hard. I literally lost weight after my first semester exams. People lose their minds over how difficult it is. Also, even though they teach in English, there’s some communication bypass that just makes things weird.

One time, I had an oral exam, and the examiner asked a question in English that made no sense to me because of how the sentence was constructed. I kept asking him to clarify, but he was repeating the same thing. He eventually called someone else who understood what he meant and answered correctly. He said he’d have no choice but to fail me. I was happy because I hadn’t prepared well for it, so I now had more time to prepare and retake the exam another day.

In my second semester, I realised that physics really wasn’t for me. I had chosen it because it was the only subject that I enjoyed studying in school. But what I was doing here seemed very different and I wasn’t learning much. So I wrote a letter to the dean of my school, requesting permission to switch to Computer Engineering. In the end, I went back to what my dad had suggested. I just started studying it, and I’m looking forward to what it holds for me.

What culture shocks did you experience?

Everyone here smokes like they’re drinking water. Whether you’re a man or woman, young or old, and even pregnant, or carrying a toddler. It was wild for me at first. Another thing is this liquor they have. It’s called Pálinka. It looks and smells like diesel. I find it disgusting, but they drink so much of it, and it doesn’t even get them drunk.

The last thing would be the educational system. When I got my admission, I was told I didn’t need to do a foundation year. It was odd because most Nigerian students have to do a foundation year to bridge the gap in our terrible curriculum.

I wanted to do a foundation year, seeing how I’d flunked my Russian test. But I was also glad I only had to spend three years instead of four. When I started, I saw shege.

Expectation vs Reality: Hungary edition

I honestly wasn’t expecting much because I just wanted to get to school and start sha. But I expected some of that European ambience. The architecture and all that. But it’s very mid. It’s probably the “middest” place I’ve ever seen. Everything about it is mid. The economy, the buildings, the roads, the social life, everything.

It’s even worse in my city. My school is in Debrecen, and the city is dead. Literally nothing happens there. No parties, no crime, nothing. I can’t even remember ever seeing the police. I don’t know where the police station is. Also, not even sure they have prisons at all. But on the other hand, the quiet helps me focus. Coming from Nigeria where there’s so much bustle, the quietude is what I really need for school.
