Like literally, most of the global layoff all over the world including Nigeria have been in the tech industry, from twitter, coinbase, amazon, jumai to Quidax.

Seems like tech businesses aren't recession proof.

First and foremost the businesses in tech are over valued because of speculation and ipo purposes, they employ a lot of people and then when recession comes, they are always the first to layoff lot of workers.

Till today, i still dont understand why tech companies will have 5k to 50k workers.

Back in the days, you only need 5 to 10 employees to run a very successful tech business. And most of these businesses were profitable.

Until 2015, I never imagined we could have a more ominous president than GEJ. Here's a quick recap of what Buhari is doing to our country for those living outside Nigeria.

Three months ago, the president announced that the CBN would redesign the country's largest denomination banknotes, which is a good idea.

The naira redesign will fight against counterfeiting and cause the loot in the hands of politicians and other criminals to become useless. The new notes should also reduce inflation and stabilize the naira exchange rate against the dollar.

One thing about Nigeria is the only reason anything will sound way too good to be true is that it is way too good to be true. First, the CBN was supposed to start removing old notes from the system on Dec. 15 and introducing new ones, but it still needs to.

The CBN planned to starve the economy of cash and force everyone into using digital forms of payment in a country where half the population can barely read or write.

Some reports say the CBN slashed the 4 billion weekly cash allocation it gives commercial banks to under 750 million. This motive meant that the banks had to continue distributing the old notes alongside the new ones that were barely available.

The old notes will cease to be legal tender in less than five days, and the banks are still distributing the same old notes cos they need new ones. And our president is a naïve old man who won't listen to reason or rational advice to extend the deadline until the CBN can figure out an analytical method to remove the old notes from circulation.

The immediate consequence of all these is that by next week, our naive president will have obliterated most small businesses relying on cash. They are purposefully starving the cash economy, which will mean a death sentence for most small business owners who run cash-only businesses.

If you're reading this from beyond Nigeria, pray for us. Barring a blessing, the shambles we will witness next week will not be humorous.

My pregnant neighbour has been so restless and sick having discovered she's carry twin


This neighbour of mine is pregnant with 6 other kids. She has been finding it difficult to feed her family including her 6 children. Her husband is an electrician and plumber but he hasn't been getting job inorder to take care of his family. The children had been out of school for several years

I live with my aunt who's a widow. I saw my aunt stressed out yesterday and worried and i was wondering what could be the problem. She was the one who told me about the woman predicament. My aunt has emptied her little foodstuffs because of this woman and her children. My aunt is just a poor widow who's managing herself and kids but she can't stand the sight of this woman and her children hungry.

My aunt told me the woman's friend advice her to inject the pregnancy through abortion. She's six months gone and according to those her friends even nine months pregnancy can be aborted provided she has the money and her state of mind is willing to not forceful

According to her friends, they felt that's the best decision she could consider due to her condition. She cannot even feed the ones on ground, they are not going to school and she's still carry twin right in her womb. She hasn't gotten any baby things. It was my aunt that took her for antenatal when the pregnancy was in 4 months stage. She has been so confused on what to do. My aunt wasn't in support of it though, same time she doesn't have money to support her and her children.

Nigeria isn't saner climes where government support the less privileges. She will be having 8 children in total if she chose not to abort it. What will become the fate of these innocent children? How will she survive with these children in Nigeria? She fainted yesterday and was rushed to the hospital. It was confirmed that she has been thinking so much and she doesn't eat well. This has affected her health conditions.

Her family and that of the husband had been so helpful according to her and it has really taken a toll on them. She even lost one of her uncle who has been supportive. This woman is sad, she's broken and shattered into pieces. I'm even scared of her life because she's not getting good medical attention for her condition. She doesn't eat well for herself and the foetus. I'm even bothered about her life, I sincerely hope all what she's going through wouldn't tell on her on the day of delivery.

Please what's your advice for this woman and her family
