Nigeria is a country of signs and wonders.

Chill bros, last year alone I got more than 8 interviews, even though I started late. Now this year I've gotten more than 4. Went for one today. Got my present job from here. If you never get invites tor maybe Na bigger package awaits you or maybe village people follow.

Mightyify:
I have been consistently been applying for jobs here for 6months and I have never gotten an invite, I noticed others are experiencing the same thing. In fact I got more invites in jobs I applied that isn't under Abuja thread.

I really appreciate the effort of the people who take time out of their busy schedule to post vacancies here. Don't get me wrong please, I know something is wrong because my CV is good... What could that be? How verified is these Abuja jobs?

That's like racism

Bleeding

Always, there must be a reason.

Too much fake news just for the ballot. All these politicians are harlot.

That's gonna be a tough one

Gang Star

GoFundMe is partnering with Deepak Chopra to launch a different kind of campaigns. The company is going beyond its usual role as a platform and hosting its own campaign to provide relief for government workers impacted by the current government shutdown.

The company is partnering with several nonprofit organizations that are providing support to government workers. For now, GoFundMe is supporting #ChefsForFeds, an initiative that serves free meals in Washington D.C., as well as the National Diaper Bank Network to help parents impacted by the shutdown. Other nonprofit organizations can reach out to partner with this campaign.

“I hope the shutdown ends soon. In the meantime, please join me and help our fellow Americans by providing some short term relief,” GoFoundMe CEO Rob Solomon said in the announcement. “ This is not about politics. This is lending a helping hand to someone in need.”

As of this writing, 1,170 people have donated over $94,000. It represents an average of $80 per donation.

A couple of weeks ago, GoFundMe issued refunds for another campaign — a Trump-inspired campaign that wanted to raise money to build a wall on the southern U.S. border. It was operated by an individual and ended up with over $20 million.

GoFundMe refunded backers as the campaign administrator wanted to change the terms of the campaign so that backers wouldn’t be able to get refunds.

Once again, GoFundMe’s role is unclear. Many individuals use the platform to pay for medical bills and compensate the flaws of the healthcare system in the U.S. This time, a GoFundMe campaign is taking over during a government shutdown. In other words, a private company is managing the budget of government workers, or at least their most essential needs.

GoFundMe can’t evenly cover the needs of all government workers across all states. Some will see a direct impact from that GoFundMe campaign while others won’t see any of that money. That’s the role of the government.

Nigerians let's not dignify Obasanjo by responding to his latest tantrum. The man is seriously frustrated with Buhari’s level of acceptability and developmental strides, Obasanjo as a corrupt man is not comfortable with Buhari’s second term.

This post is not about Nigeria and it's politics, please find the right section and don't derail from the topic.

Gather a mob and Facebook will now let you make political demands. Tomorrow Facebook will encounter a slew of fresh complexities with the launch of Community Actions, its News Feed petition feature. Community Actions could unite neighbors to request change from their local and national elected officials and government agencies. But it could also provide vocal interest groups a bully pulpit from which to pressure politicians and bureaucrats with their fringe agendas.

Community Actions embodies the central challenge facing Facebook. Every tool it designs for positive expression and connectivity can be subverted for polarization and misinformation. Facebook’s membership has swelled into such a ripe target for exploitation that it draws out the worst of humanity. You can imagine misuses like “Crack down on [minority group]” that are offensive or even dangerous but some see as legitimate. The question is whether Facebook puts in the forethought and aftercare to safeguard its new tools with proper policy and moderation. Otherwise each new feature is another liability.

Community Actions start to roll out to the US tomorrow (Today) after several weeks of testing in a couple of markets. Users can add a title, description, and image to their Community Action, and tag relevant government agencies and officials who’ll be notified. The goal is to make the Community Action go viral and get people to hit the “Support” button. Community Actions have their own discussion feed where people can leave comments, create fundraisers, and organize Facebook Events or Call Your Rep campaigns. Facebook displays the numbers of supporters behind a Community Action, but you’ll only be able to see the names of those you’re friends with or that are Pages or public figures.

Facebook is purposefully trying to focus Community Actions to be more narrowly concentrated on spurring government action than just any random cause. That means it won’t immediately replace Change.org petitions that can range from the civilian to the absurd. But one-click Support straight from the News Feed could massively reduce the friction to signing up, and thereby attract organizations and individuals seeking to maximize the size of their mob.

You can check out some examples here of Community Actions here like a non-profit Colorado Rising calling for the governor to put a moratorium on oil and gas drilling, citizens asking the a Florida’s mayor and state officials to build a performing arts center, and a Philadelphia neighborhood association requesting that the city put in crosswalks by the library. I fully expect one of the first big Community Actions will be the social network’s users asking Senators to shut down Facebook or depose Mark Zuckerberg.

The launch follows other civic-minded Facebook features like its Town Hall and Candidate Info for assessing politicians, Community Help for finding assistance after a disaster, and local news digest Today In. A Facebook spokesperson who gave us the first look at Community Actions provided this statement:

“Building informed and civically engaged communities is at the core of Facebook’s mission. Every day, people come together on Facebook to advocate for causes they care about, including by contacting their elected officials, launching a fundraiser, or starting a group. Through these and other tools, we have seen people marshal support for and get results on issues that matter to them. Community Action is another way for people to advocate for changes in their communities and partner with elected officials and government agencies on solutions.”
The question will be where Facebook’s moderators draw the line on what’s appropriate as a Community Action, and the ensuing calls of bias that line will trigger. Facebook is employing a combination of user flagging, proactive algorithmic detection, and human enforcers to manage the feature. But what the left might call harassment, the right might call free expression. If Facebook allows controversial Community Actions to persist, it could be viewed as complicit with their campaigns, but could be criticized for censorship if it takes one down. Like fake news and trending topics, the feature could become the social network’s latest can of worms.

Facebook is trying to prioritize local Actions where community members have a real stake. It lets user display “constituent” badges so their elected officials know they aren’t just a distant rabble-rouser. It’s why Facebook will not allow President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence to be tagged in Community Actions. But you’re free to tag all your state representatives demanding nude parks, apparently.
Another issue is how people can stand up against a Community Action. Only those who Support one may join in its discussion feed. That might lead trolls to falsely pledge their backing just to stir up trouble in the comments. Otherwise, Facebook tells me users will have to share a Community Action to their own feed with a message of disapproval, or launch their own in protest. My concern is that an agitated but niche group could drive a sense of false equivocacy by using Facebook Groups or message threads to make it look like there’s as much or more support for a vulgar cause or against of a just one. A politician could be backed into a corner and forced to acknowledge radicals or bad-faith actors lest they look negligent

While Facebook’s spokesperson says initial tests didn’t surface many troubles, the company is trying to balance safety with efficiency and it will consider how to evolve the feature in response to emergent behaviors. The trouble is that open access draws out the trolls and grifters seeking to fragment society. Facebook will have to assume the thorny responsibility of shepherding the product towards righteousness and defining what that even means. If it succeeds, there’s an amazing opportunity here for citizens to band together to exert consensus upon government. A chorus of voices carries much further than a single cry.

Na Nigerians ain't that smart, to be honest Nigeria is a baby in internet fraud business.

Countries like Russia is the king but you'll never ever hear their media reporting such news even USA.

Aptly rendered sir. Theses countries perpetrate the worst of scams, but they would never raise a dust about it. But here, bcoz media want chop by all means they would use it as their front line headline. Thus feeding the foreign news with such bad idea. Nigerians/Africans are not the originators of scam

This is not one of your regular, big brother Naija article, neither is it those tales by moonlight stories we use to hear and read every time, about how husband kill wife or how rich boy fall in love with a riff rat, or how P.M express would Report about some domestic ruckus that looks Fictional and somewhat Vague, meanwhile "our man"the reporter always passes at least one un-completed bridge within his jurisdiction . This is about the question of Who gets "What, How and When" ? As Averred by À Scholar. The Question of why is life such an imbalance environment? ( for instance I was Watching the money show of February 19 2018 By, Nancy Iloh on Africa's Independent Television, where she was revealing a Statics to her guest on the Show, conducted by an international organization which revealed that by the end of February 2018 Nigeria would be the Poorest Nation in the World). And am wondering with all the Crude, All the Steel, All the Vast land that is arable for Farming and other Agricultural ventures?, All the Zinc, copper (Nysc), Gold, E.T.C, how come? What's wrong if we use the passion and Energy we channel to all these Blackberry Naija, Irrelevant Amebo, Ethnic politicking, Religious Bashing, and every other activities which serve as Distractions to our development, to pressure ( like that Bullet wounds in American movies) our Politicians on our Development, is that really Such a Hard thing to do?
Why do we have less privilege more? One would begin to reminisce If this is in line with this Marx ian Theory of the Nature and Functions of the State which Aver that, The State is Neither an Expression of Superior reason as contended by the idealist, Nor a Manifestation of Superior will as maintained by the Liberals, but an Instrument of Class power Designed to Subserve the interest of the rulling class at the Expense of It's Antagonistic Class. This theory went further to explicate how State's originate as a result of the division of Society into two classes- The haves and the have-not.Hmm, my people like that Nafdac advert of those Years which intimate the Slang "Shine your eyes", I think it's time for us to Shine our eyes, let t be wider than those of em Frogs, to the extent we begin to tax these people what they owe us.
Why should private ownership of property be widely accepted even with it's many ills? For instance in Africa, especially Nigeria, aside from the obvious facts that most of the properties are privately owned by multinationals from foreign countries, the rate at which they treat their Staffs is not a Good example of home training. Then there's also the issue of cheap labour, offering starvation wages with a daunting task allocated to you the Employee. Just imagine enh, for How long? Why most we always be at the receiving End? Both Home and Abroad?
Why can't we just change our narratives as Nigerians, why is it so hard for us to use our collective bargain for the pursuit of a better welfare? Freedom to the people means you should not be treated with fear, why should I be the one to raise my voice and shout treat us fair, when we all need the care?

If the ticket enter, you fit chop the money ba?

Quite informative
