Stop all this bullshit the lumps lab will only win award but their US counterparts rakes in big money.

What is the competition there.

Why are Bandits controlling the North and their leaders fall to condemn this insane action.

I taught this thread is on nairaland. Why circulating it

Governors whether present or former are higher than any so called King, oba, emir or chief.

What a mess. Who gave you the right of advocacy. Steewped thing, everything is not for clout.

This reno is an ediot He will never get appointment.

Why are you driving a wage between two friends.

Before ladoja was oba was he not a governor, and is the governor not higher than any so called ova.

Obi was a governor so as ladoja and calling the latter brother is in order.

What a sad story I hope they will listen. Fake job offers abound be wise

Russia is turning to African women and conscripted North Koreans to tackle its defence worker shortage

US president Donald Trump has said Ukraine could win back all of the territory it has lost in the ongoing war, but Russia’s president Vladimir Putin shows no signs of wanting a peace deal, or reducing the military offensive.

Instead, night after night Russia continues to launch hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine, killing civilians and destroying homes, public buildings and infrastructure.

Russia can only continue this war if it has enough workers. It has one of the world’s largest armed forces (composed of 1.32 million active military personnel), but its military recruiters face a challenging job in outpacing the enormous losses of soldiers who are killed or seriously injured in Ukraine.


However, the staffing needs of Russia’s military are tiny compared with its defence industry. Russian factories that produce weapons and equipment for the war employ approximately 4 million workers – and they have been suffering from a serious labour shortage.


According to a statement made in the Russian parliament in 2024, the country’s defence industry needs approximately 400,000 more workers than it currently employs.

But how can Russia, with a population of 143 million people have a labour shortage in a sector of the economy that is so crucial for the war?

There are a variety of reasons. An estimated 1 million Russian citizens fled Russia in 2022 – either because they opposed the war in principle or because they wanted to avoid being forced to join the military and fight – or both. Although as many as 45% of those who fled are believed to have returned to Russia over the past three years, that would mean Russia lost approximately 650,000 people from its workforce, at least for the duration of the war and perhaps permanently.

Russia’s defence industry is also in direct competition with the army for workers. The Russian state has substantially increased the salaries and various benefits that it offers to new military recruits. Salaries of 200,000 roubles – more than US$2,000 (£1,481) – a month are typical, putting combat soldiers in the top 10% of Russia’s earners.

The defence industry has had to raise the wages it offers during the war, increasing average salaries by 65% between 2022 and 2024, up to about 89,700 roubles per month. New recruits to the military, however, can expect a one-off signing bonus of as much as 4 million roubles in addition to their monthly salary.

Declining birth rate
Demographic patterns also play a part. There was a sharp drop in the birth rate in Russia in the 1990s, which means there are fewer people in their 20s and 30s seeking employment.

The defence industry has introduced a number of initiatives since the start of Russia’s mass invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to cope with the increased demand for the production of new weapons and equipment along with the need to repair damaged and broken military hardware.

Many facilities are working around the clock: introducing compulsory 12-hour shifts and work weeks of six days on, one day off. Other parts of the defence industry are reportedly using inmates from local prisons to fill staffing gaps, including Uralvagonzavod, which is Russia’s largest manufacturer of tanks.

Russia has turned to ally North Korea to fill some of its military and labour shortages. Thousands of Koreans have been sent to Russia to work in factories and in construction, as part of a deal between Putin and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un. There have been reports of “slave labour” conditions and 18-hour days. North Koreans have also been sent to bolster the Russian military


Attitudes to women
Despite all the shortages, the military industry is not recruiting Russia’s women to work in most roles. Although some Russian women do work in defence industry, labour regulations introduced in the 1970s exclude women from many roles that are important to defence production, such as working with hazardous chemicals or heavy metals.

These restrictions are designed to protect pregnant women and the fertility of future mothers. Considering Putin’s emphasis on increasing the birth rate and on presenting Russia as a bastion of traditional gender roles, this is unlikely to change.

However, the reluctance to recruit Russian women into jobs in the defence industry does not extend to women from other countries. Around 200 women, mainly from central and west Africa, have been hired to work in defence industry factories located in the Alabuga special economic zone in Tatarstan, a Russian republic located east of Moscow. Many of these factories build drones assembled from components imported from Iran – weapons that have been used extensively by Russia in its attacks on civilians in Ukraine.

The African women employed to build drones in Tatarstan were recruited through a programme called Alabuga Start, which targets young female migrant workers.

It is advertised extensively on social media, including through paid influencers on TikTok. The salaries offered are high in relation to the wages that these women could earn in their own countries. However, Alabuga Start recruits earn around 40,000 roubles a month – less than half the amount that Russian defence industry workers receive.

[b]The programme is focused on recruiting foreign women for a mix of practical, financial reasons and gender stereotypes. African women will work for less money than Russians. They are also believed to be easier to control than foreign men, while women are perceived to be better than men at tasks that require patience and precision.

The Alabuga Start website appears to offer an attractive package of work experience, on-the-job training, accommodation, Russian language lessons and free flights to Russia. The sectors for employment identified include catering, hospitality and service jobs with no mention of drone assembly.

However, once they arrive, the young women can find themselves living very different lives to those they had anticipated. There are reports of working long hours and exposure to dangerous chemicals, with passports being withheld to prevent women from leaving. For instance, Kenya has launched an investigation into Alabuga Start, which may see the programme shut down in that country.
[/b]
The difficulties of recruiting and retaining labour for Russia’s defence industry, including bringing in foreign migrant workers and their treatment, reveal some serious weaknesses in Moscow’s military planning. While those are probably not enough to stop Russia’s war effort, they do indicate some of the strains that the war is placing on the country’s economy.

Trump mocks NATO allies for 'funding the war against themselves' with Russian energy purchases

President Donald Trump on Tuesday once again called on all European partners in the NATO alliance to cut dependence on Russian oil.

In his lengthy address to the United Nations General Assembly, Trump accused NATO allies of "funding the war against themselves."

"Who the hell ever heard of that one?" Trump mocked.

TRUMP DEMANDS NATO ALLIES HALT RUSSIAN OIL PURCHASES BEFORE NEW US SANCTIONS

"China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil," he said. "But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy."

European nations have drastically cut their reliance on Moscow’s oil following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, though they have not cut it off entirely.

Hungary, Slovakia, France, Belgium and Spain remain Europe’s top importers of Russian energy.

While Hungary and Slovakia continue to purchase Russian oil, France is the second-largest European purchaser of Russian energy and continues to import liquefied natural gas (LNG).


TRUMP SAYS HE'S RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WITH PUTIN 'FAST' OVER UKRAINE CONFLICT NEGOTIATIONS

LNG has largely bypassed EU sanctions and Paris' continued import of Russian energy is down to pre-exsisting "take or pay" contracts that run through the early 2030s that require France to either continue to import the energy or face penalties.

Trump earlier this month took issue with European nations that continue to purchase Russian oil, but on Tuesday he adjusted his comments to include all Russian energy imports – notably a shift that came one day after France broke with the U.S. over the issue of Palestinian statehood.

"In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly," Trump said. "But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures."

"You're much closer to the city. We have an ocean in between. You're right there, and Europe has to step it up," he added. "They have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia, otherwise, we're all wasting a lot of time."

Trump said he will speak with Euroepan leaders about the issue while at the UN this week.

Nature isn't created, it's a manifestation of energy, which transforms from one form to another without beginning or end. In the cycle of life, organisms interconnect and benefit each other ,humans consume animals, while microorganisms like termites and ants eat man when they die thereby benefitting each other...

Regarding the concept of God, I believe humans developed this idea to explain unanswered questions about existence.
Throughout history, people have created theories to alleviate uncertainty and find meaning, Just as conspiracy theories emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, to make sense of the world. While these ideas have influenced societies, many are now questioning and awakening to new perspectives.

I see you're atheist, so you're backing Darwin theory. How the journey of man began from a tadpole through several unrelated creatures before arriving to present day human

One of newton's law of motion I like is that an object will always be at rest until a force is exerted upon it..

It means everything will remain motionless until something triggers movement

Without the unforseen forces the world would be dead as in motionless.

The Multichoice group (MCG) has crossed the threshold, with the Canal+ merger becoming unconditional and the French media giant is now effectively in control of the company.

Canal+ and MCG announced that, as of Friday, 19 September 2025, all the suspensive conditions to the takeover have been fulfilled or waived, and as a result, the Canal+ offer has become unconditional.

“Subject to the Takeover Regulation Panel issuing a compliance certificate in respect of the Canal+ offer in terms of section 121(b) of the Companies Act, which is expected imminently, the settlement process in

connection with the offer will now commence,” the group said.

Notably, this means that Canal+ is already in control of the group, which was founded as M-Net’s digital satellite division in 1994

As of the close of business on 19 September 2025, Canal+ directly owned 46.0% of the shares of MCG, excluding treasury shares.

In addition, acceptances in respect of a further 2.2% of MCG shares have already been tendered to Canal+ in terms of the Canal+ offer prior to the publication of the Finalisation Announcement.

“Canal+ is therefore in effective control of MCG,” Multichoice said.

“All the shares which are still to be tendered into the Canal+ offer, which is now unconditional, will further increase Canal+’s shareholding in MCG.”

The acquisition of MCG by Canal+ marks the largest transaction ever undertaken by Canal+, cementing the combined group’s position as a global media and entertainment company.

The combined Group will serve more than 40 million subscribers across close to 70 countries in Africa, Europe and Asia, supported by a workforce of approximately 17,000 employees.

For South Africa, Canal+ and the company have committed to a robust package of public interest measures.
These include supporting firms controlled by Historically Disadvantaged Persons (HDPs) and Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises (SMMEs) in the South African audio-visual sector, as well as maintaining funding for local general entertainment and sports content produced by South African creators.

For Multichoice customers, all subscription and billing arrangements will remain the same, it said.

“The integration of MCG and Canal+ will now start to take place. Following an in-depth review, Canal+ intends to inform the market of its detailed plans and envisaged synergies when it provides a strategic update for the combined Group during the first quarter of 2026,” it said.

Point of correction. The Bible was, is and never a program of man.

Because if you say man created the Bible, then who created God.

There is no scriptural backing for kneeling in marriage.

19-Year-Old Chennai Prodigy Knows How to Read, Write in 400 Languages

Meet Mahmood Akram, a 19-year-old polyglot who knows how to read and write in 400 languages. Aside from his expansive literacy, the teen prodigy from Chennai is also fluent in 46 languages.

Akram was 12 when he had racked up his mind-numbingly diverse repertoire, but the young talent’s early signs had begun showing by the age of just four. The first of these was picked up on by his father, Shilbee Mozhippriyan, who, according to The Better India, speaks 16 languages himself.

Akram’s multilingual parents encouraged him to learn different languages, and learn he did. Within six days of first starting, he had memorised the English alphabet. By the end of the third week, he knew all the 247 letters used in Tamil.
At the age of six, Akram was neck deep into learning new languages, having mastered 50 by the time he turned eight. This earned him the world record for being the youngest multilingual typist.
Two years later, the polyglot achieved another world title, this time for writing the Indian national anthem in 20 different languages, all in just an hour.

For his third, and by far the most impressive, record, Akram took on 70 competitors at a linguistic race in Germany. This was when he showed the world he could read, write and type using 400 languages.

“We had to translate a sentence into as many languages as we could within three minutes,” he recalled. “I won the Germany Young Talent Award for translating the most. Even the experts could not keep up with my speed.”

While he crushed nearly every contest along the way, the journey had its own struggles. For a wunderkind such as Akram, no school was good enough in India, with a curriculum primarily focussed on language(s) largely missing from the country’s education system

They (the schools) insisted I start again from the sixth grade. So I decided to study through the National Institute of Open Schooling and cleared my exams that way,” he explained.

Akram got to continue his schooling after appearing at a talent show, which earned him the scholarship to the Danube International School in Vienna, Austria.

He credits his fluency to the institute’s diversity and studying with students of 39 nationalities in the same classroom.

Today, the 19-year-old is simultaneously pursuing three degrees: Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Linguistics at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK, and Bachelors’ in English Literature and Animation at Alagappa University, Chennai.

Akram says learning different languages has made both the language programmes easier
