Apart from healthcare professionals, how many other professionals hold a good position here, go over there and get that same position over there ? The numbers are low. Our present system doesn't create graduates that are globally competitive, that's a fact, there's no way to sugarcoat it.
Assuming monie point doesn't pay well is a fallacy people created to feel better about themselves.

Read my comment properly, tech professionals are moving enmasse, most of them are working previously from banks and multinational companies.

Is money-point reach 1/2 of any conventional bank in Nigeria? Didn't they have department that tech experts working?

Is it not Nigerians they recruited to man the tech department?

Openair:
This is on point. I have seen moniepoint vacancies before now and I know that the kind of people they're looking for are well groomed tech professionals. Nigeria's tech space doesn't have so many people who can fill these roles, that's the basic truth. How many of us can compete with tech professionals from other countries especially when the majority of us are going into tech to survive not for passion or anything else (just as long as it puts food on the table).
We, Nigerians, need to do more that's the honest truth, but the average Nigerian can't put in the hours to be well groomed in tech in this present economy, unless you have something tangible that's giving you money. How can you study hard for hours on your system when light no dey or you never know where the next food go come from. You rather see millions enroll in courses to study virtual assistance and other entry level roles just to survive.

Hope you know those that are hot cake in Japa syndrome today are medical and tech professionals? and that, advanced countries are recruiting them en masse from Nigeria and India ?

Have you asked yourself? The way Canada and USA companies will treat tech-man from Nigeria, will money-point do just half of it?

CodeTemplar:
Does any Nigerian school/uni offer courses in Nanotechnology for example? How will a Nigerian trained personnel apply for that role?

Even if you graduate from Oxford University as nanotechnologist, you think you can work into company and start doing the work effectively without thorough training either in Nigeria or abroad?

Meanwhile a brilliant graduate of Physics or Computer (science/engineering)/or even Mathematics from any university in Nigeria will do it conveniently,.....if the company ready to train and retrain him/her

Don't let the word nanotechnology makes you shivering.

Tenrack:
apart from that, men don dey wise. We don dey tire of women shenanigans. Nobody wants extra stress for their lives.

You guys cannot feed your mouth, let alone family, and instead to accept reality, you would be jumping from one social media to another, shouting women are surplus, women are wicked, marriage not favour man, blablablah.
What an irrespqnsible way to defend oneself!

A responsible man comes to this world not only to be successful in, career wise but maritally. If you are now running from stress the family pressure might bring, where is responsiblity in you?

Peacecore:
Keep playing. Oshiomole is the most loyal ally of Tinubu since 2006.

Abi oooo, he should have made him VP, ....he is loyal, yet his candidate couldn't defeat okpebolo in APC primary.

You guy know little about politics and governancy.

Tinubu may want to placate South East in his 2nd term. In politics the president can trade anybody for his survival, both at poll and for his success in govt.

Edun is more loyal to Tinubu than Oshiomhole yet, he was bulldozed, wen Tinubu no longer comfortable with him

Common sense would have told a rational thinker, that, Hope cannot go to senate without full guarantee from president and that he can't trade governorship for any position less than senate Presidency.

Gov no be small office to just jettison

Ibehchizzy:
is it the same chinyere that was said to have resigned as deputy governor?
Where were you when the news broke to the front page

I guess Chinyere handed over resignation letter to you.

Kukutente23:
Op can you give us quranic verses to back up your claims or we should just accept it as you're now Muhammad's spokesman . Besides, I wonder what issue you'll have with surrogacy when Ishmael, Muhammad's supposed progenitor and link to Abraham was a product of surrogacy. Surrogacy exists in both religions.
Mary gave birth to Jesus through a process similar to surrogacy
Giving your own subjective bias as Islamic injunction is simply bid'aah
IVF cannot be covered by Sharia because it is beyond the realm in which Sharia operates
Don't be like the JW that rejected blood transfusion for years wasting lives in the process

All these are human knowledge to assist religion books, the same way in Christian dome, deputy gods have been making religion difficult to adherents since time immemorial.


Going by Op' myopic explanation, Muslim cannot adopt a child and change his or her name to his family lineage..... since his blood is different from adopter blood.

If you want to impose what they writing religion books, (Quran, Bible or Torah) on people living in 21st century, you will turn the religion to burden and unbearable to the worshipers.

God is not difficult the way the religion leaders making it difficult for followers.

Ibehchizzy:
how does it concerns wike
He’s not a governor or an apc member

He is backing Fubara, the stumbling block for Wike to install his puppet.

Politics is about interest, it has nothing to do with party religion or tribe on many occasions.

I have strong feeling that Hope is the next Senate Presido, for him to obtain form wen his tenure not yet expires, he already received assurance from 001.

Lady Chinyere will break record of being, the first official female gov in Naija.

adioolayi:
I understand this is what is in the news..but they are all saying they have not seen the Supreme Court CTC.
If they haven't, how do we know this is truly there?
Meanwhile, Wike faction has shown a FHC judgement that Turaki faction has also appealed and the appeal is pending.

Didn't lawyer represent them in the court?

Is media not covered the judgment?

Even from the body language, you will know Wike camp only struggling to explain their side of story for the public. He kept on doing strong head, just to pin down PDP til last minute for his boss to contest unopposed.

adioolayi:
Anyone that follows this PDP wahala without emotions will know Wike's group somehow, based on the available facts at hand (pending the time Supreme Court CTC is out) has the upper hand here.

That Ibadan FHC judgement recognising Abdulrahman and Anyawu as Caretaker committee of the PDP na big plus...it paved the way for Wike's backed National convention.

I hope the Turaki-Makinde group are very certain Supreme Court CTC will state that Anyawu's case.

Let's see how it goes

Because you don't know judicial interpretation if indeed you are not bias.....they knocked Turaki chairmanship only because they went ahead to do the convention despite high court ruling to stop.... meanwhile, court also affirmed Anyanwu suspension,

What that means.......no official leaders in PDP and in absence of that, BOT would take over of mantle, meanwhile, the recognise official BOT, even before convention is Wabara led, which also Turaki faction.

Lanretoye:
What is osiomoles pain in this matter,he probably has eye on presiding

I'm seeing Hope as next Senate President, Oshio may become one of principal officers.

Tareq1105:
You're wrong.

Tinubu APC will never consider oshomhole for Senate president bcoz he doesn't have the temperament to run such office.

Sit down there, wen u meet your oga, you will succumb with your temperament.

Oshio was removed from APC national chairman because of Tinubu ambition, Tinubu was instrumental to Oshio victory, both at poll and court during his gubernatorial struggles, .... you think it's yesterday two of them have been coming?

Anyway, you are arguing base on little things you know about them.

saintopus:
If the news is true this is the nearest reason.

It has been denied,......the fake news might be emanated from either camp of Wike or Akpabio.

Geeoriginal:
Was he sacked or his tenure has expired? I don't think there's any rancor going on that should lead to his removal.

Maybe Wike engineers it through Tinubu, because of his support for Fubara or because of his ambition to become Senate President and baba already has Oshio in mind.

Politics too deep to play, you can be hired and fired by the power that be; anytime & anyday!

saintgp:
Are you sure they're (ALL OF THE 30MILLION)Madrid fans or fans of other clubs that envy Madrid for having mbappe and so want to see him leave?

Any team that signs Mbappe signs problems and they will start retrogression.

What is essence of good player that would bring problem to dressing room?

Team needs maximum cooperation to win matches, but if a player thinks he is superior to every player and coach, what do expect?

If a world class Ancelotti, who is also calm could have issues with Madrid dressing room when Mbappe joined them, who else will be able to coach Mbappe, who thinks, he is bigger than the team?

Go to BBC sport and read about, how PSG coach, leading them to success and Mbappe character in team retrogression.

Immediately I read his statement, I knew he would be treating his workers poorly, local & international training and retraining won't be his priorities.

Little wonder, he want high skilful expert who is a fresh graduate, not even Nigeria universities that grossly underfunded.

If state government can do orientation and training for fresh intake teachers, how much more fintech company,......oga is expecting to see a fresh computer science graduate, who is expert in software development .


Oga use part of huge profit you are getting from Moneypoint to train few from numerous brilliant, but jobless Nigeria's graduates in other to acquire expertise you needed in your company.

badthinds:
Well, that makes sense.

I'm beginning to realize that my time with most ladies only cost me resources, and worse, my time!

Last week, a friend pleaded with me to come over to her place, so I did, reluctantly.

I left one of my guys to go there. With my guy, we were seriously discussing formats and updates. But upon getting to the girl, hmmm...

We had a very lengthy chat, but everything was very superficial. Just n0ncense to be honest.

While driving back home, I just couldn't help but think about all my previous conversations with her and other girls in my life. Now I cant un-notice how superficial those conversations were. No updates, no insights, no nothing.

There are so many instances, and I wonder if its just me.

That's why I'm asking you people (men) to recall your previous conversations with woman and share. I'm trying to find out if this is just a "Nigerian girl" problem too.

And for you guys, how many of you can have meaningful conversations, rather to talk down and lamenting on woman issues 24/7

Go to front front page and see how Ur gender change topic and start attacking, lamenting, complaining and conderming if every post that hit the front page

Can you afford it if he provides the electricity?
Is fuel and diesel affordable today?
You are happy you are going into full monopoly economy.

It's the responsibilities of your govt to make it affordable and not Dangote, tell them to reduce tax burden and subsidies things for masses the way they are doing in advanced countries and see prices come down.

Today, in every ₦12,000 a bag of cement you buy, your govt taken ₦5200 as tax.

So, know where to channel ur greveiance and ignorant to.....

‘There Are Moles Among Us, Bandits Know Our Plans Within Minutes’, Katsina Governor Raises Alarm Over Security Leaks




https://saharareporters.com/2026/05/07/there-are-moles-among-us-bandits-know-our-plans-within-minutes-katsina-governor-raises

Use your position, influence and Money at your disposal to get the mole and stop complaining.

You are given the task of being a gov to solve difficult problems and not to give excuses, get the moles and make the moles a scapegoat to be a deterrent to others.

One soldier used classified information to win betting in USA, less than 2 months he got arrested and is being prosecuted now.

If there is a mole fielding political opponents information, you will know how to get the mole, but the one slaughtering your people, it will difficult for you to get him/them

GodHimself:
This thing is not about logic.

You can't reason with emotion and belief.

You might disagree and you may be leaving in self denial, it doesn't make my submission false.

Whenever any Muslim in doing anything, if there are Christians invited, check what the clerics will be saying.

Jesus is human or God, if I choose to worship him, I don't see reason that should be Ur headache, the same way someone worshiping moon or stone, which is not my headache.

If God allow diverse religions and allow humans, we claim is his own creation to join any religion, how much less mere mortal to force religion down the throat of others, because you so much believed it's only the way.

How did you even know your religion is the way, wen everything you heard about it , is be told by someone for you to believe.


Bye.

This ideology is imbibed(brainwashed) in them mostly, if not always by their clerics, even in the south west that still moderate, just go to gatherings where Muslims are doing any ceremony, marriage, burial or just prayer..... immediately these people notice presence of Christians in their midst, they change sermon and start attacking Christians, mostly through Jesus.

How will I be convinced to join your religion, by attacking and insulting my brief? instead of telling me, the benefits of your own religion and how I can gain from it.

Why a religion would always seems itself an inferior to other, still not clear to me.

If I like, I elevate stone as my God, how has that threatening your existence, leave God to judge me?

Dreal1247:
What is the essence of this tattoo in the first place. Most people just do some stuff because others are doing and not just for any cogent reason. Imagine the excruciating pains one has to go through for this useless stuff and still have to pay for it. It appears weird in my own personal opinion

They are doing it because of you men, just to get attractions and drain cash from you. Since everyone is going for beauty and big yanch.

Can you allow your woman to do tattoo in sensitive parts of her body?

Can you as a man becomes tattoo artist?

Can you as a lady do tattoo in sensitive parts of your body?

femi4:
3. Ugly but intelligent

I will use pillow to cover her face in the other room

And if two of you going to party?

Lithiumite:
A lady was crying so hard because she grew up hating her father who she thought never liked or wanted her all because of the lies her mother told her about him.....she was 3 when they separated but the father used to come get her on weekends and return her Monday morning, she was really fond of him until all of a sudden without notice he never showed up again but he kept sending money for her school fees and upkeep but her mother never told her,she was too young to find out why are father just cut her off but her mum kept telling her he hated her and as moved on with another woman and had new kids.......fast forward to now she is 32 years old and just found out it was her mother that actually stopped her father from coming for her and blocked all communication and access her father could use to reach her,her father now late actually loved her and was sending money for her upkeep......she has become so bitter and swore never to forgive her mother for ruining her bond with her father just because of her own bad behaviour.

If indeed you really love your son/daughter, you must be visiting them once in a while and not sending money through mother.

Common sense is supposed to tell you, the mother will surely change the narrative and claim victim, even marriage that husband and wife still together, mother is playing role as if she loves the children more than father.

If father disciplines his own child, immediately he went out, many wives will call the child and beg him/her,...... what is she planting? If not hatred.

Meanwhile, many of them cannot training children without spoiling;if not destroying them.

GboyegaD:
Why does universities need approval before confering an honorary degree on anyone? The minister should provide guidelines and allow the universities be.

Abi oooo, since you are the one funding the university, that is why you must go against federal government.

donny22:
Must all of them be too bad ? My wife no dey there.

So, Ur wife is a perfect creation?

Love still dey shark you, it would soon clear and see her imperfections after few years of marriage.

Dshocker:
Both Daddy G.O, choir master, usher go knack your wife wetin no good.

The worst woman to marry, is the religious type.

The way they knacke your mummy and gave birth to you, reason you bitter and angry to church of God.

IyaTola:
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?

I doubt if you know, no university in the world in which their graduates go directly to labour market and fit-in, into highly skilful employments. .......the company is the one that would recruit and train them skills they needed in other to perform exact task they wanted in the company.

Just the way Dangote recruited Nigerian graduates and sent them to India to acquire skills in petrochemical industry.

If bank can recruit graduate trainings and training them for optimal use, how much more tech related company...... better go and advice "moneypoint" to recruit brilliant among several jobless graduates in Nigeria and train them either in Naija or abroad.
