@Radha_AI @tmurithi12 I started, and couldn’t stop until his last word! Brilliant.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT. He knows his time is running out. So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour. He died 5 months later. This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇 Bookmark it for later

How can the authorities of @FAAN_Official, without care or let, increase overnight parking fee at #Ibadan #Airport from Naira 1k to 5k? @fkeyamo? Imagine when it transforms from local to international: N20,000? Governor, @seyimakinde FYI

@NasirRamon 🥳

After many months out of X, I am back! Guys, welcome me back with your follow Or, what do you think? Have I missed anything?

@NobleChizaram @ruffydfire No federal university professor earn 600k. I know because I don’t earn that; and I have been a professor since 2008.

@ruffydfire A federal university professor in Nigeria earns around ₦600k–₦900k monthly, while a Nigerian ambassador earns ₦800k–₦1.2M basic, with total take-home of ₦2–5M. Yet, professors keep striking, delaying students life. This makes our youth arrive late in life,.

Salary of a Nigerian Ambassador The salary of a Nigerian ambassador, as a senior Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is governed by the Consolidated Diplomatic, Consular and Foreign Service Cadre Salary Structure (CONPSS) in the Nigerian public service. Ambassadors typically fall into the highest grade levels (GL 17 or equivalent), with additional allowances for overseas postings. Based on available data from government budget allocations, salary surveys, and reports on foreign service personnel costs, the basic salary is modest by international standards but is supplemented by substantial allowances. Note that exact figures can vary by posting location, experience, and currency fluctuations (as of November 2025, 1 USD ≈ 1,650 NGN). Basic Salary • Monthly Basic Pay: Approximately ₦800,000 to ₦1,200,000 (about $485–$727 USD). • This is drawn from the CONPSS scale for top-tier diplomatic officers. Entry-level foreign service officers start at around ₦300,000–₦500,000 monthly, but ambassadors, being at the pinnacle of the career ladder, command the upper end. • Annual Basic Salary: ₦9.6 million to ₦14.4 million (about $5,818–$8,727 USD). These figures align with general public sector pay for Grade Level 17 officers, adjusted for inflation and the 2025 minimum wage increase to ₦70,000. However, basic pay alone does not reflect total compensation, as diplomats receive significant extras to cover living costs abroad. Key Allowances and Total Compensation Nigerian ambassadors posted overseas receive a package designed to offset high living expenses, hardship, and representational duties. Total monthly take-home pay often exceeds ₦2–5 million ($1,212–$3,030 USD), depending on the host country. Major components include:

@BashirAhmaad So, you drew your conclusions on the basis of watching a few minutes of trailer? That’s rather too hasty. Even if you decide to see the entire film now it is unlikely that you would draw a different conclusion, sadly.

The reason why some Arewa people are angry about The Herd movie is not because we are denying the reality of banditry, far from it. It is about the dangerous consequences of profiling an entire ethnic group and region that has already suffered immensely from years of insecurity. I watched the teaser on @NetflixNaija, and even though I haven’t watched the full movie yet, the one clear problem that stands out is stereotyping. In the teaser, Fulani herders are shown crossing the road with their cattle, while a newlywed couple inside a car and other travellers drive by, then suddenly the herdsmen pull out guns, start shooting indiscriminately and kidnap everyone. This single scene paints a picture that is actually facile as it is dangerously inaccurate. The truth is this, it is true and verifiable that some of the bandits terrorizing innocent people and our communities are Fulani. We have consistently and openly acknowledged that, called them out, condemned their atrocities and demanded that authorities deal with them mercilessly. Yet the overwhelming majority of Fulani herders are innocent and also among the very victims that have suffered the most from these terrorists. Many have lost their cattle, their livelihoods and their families. So producing a movie to profile them all as armed kidnappers only reinforces a harmful stereotype that fuels suspicion, resentment and even violence against innocent people. Film and media carry immense influence, they shape global perceptions and frame narratives, especially about communities that are poorly understood outside their regions. Instead of the producers of The Herd helping the world understand the complexity of Nigeria’s insecurity, the movie falls into the trap of blanket judgment. When such an international movie, portrays a one-dimensional story, millions of viewers around the world walk away believing that every Fulani herder is a terrorist and that is how stigma is created. That is how innocent people become targets of discrimination and harassment. Before producing a film that touches on such a sensitive and complex national issue, the producers should have done intensive field work by engaging stakeholders, security experts, victims, researchers and even representatives of pastoralist groups to help them capture the full picture of the situation. I believe @AliNuhu’s Nigerian Film Corporation should have given proper guidance to prevent such damaging portrayals. In the end, all we are saying is simple, tell the story. Condemn the criminals. Call out the terrorists. But do not cast a shadow of suspicion over millions of innocent herders who have nothing to do with these atrocities. Our country is dealing with a complex security challenge and the last thing we need is media content that deepens stereotypes and fuels more division. The producers should have known better.

@Morris_Monye It is so shameful that policemen engage in public brawls to ‘protect’ politicians..! @PoliceNG

Police stopping Gov. Bala from entering PDP HQ. His own Police and DSS now overpowered the other Police team and he gained entry into the building. Zoo.

@charlesukeje Good morning prof. ..hope you are keeping well...

@blomslove @MasterBolaji To do this, they have to contend with two regulators- NCC and NBC; both of them joyless…

@MasterBolaji DSTV just needs to add internet service to their TV service. Thats a 2 in 1 service or further add home phone plus home security.

Breakdown: 👇 Once upon a time, there was a big TV company in Africa called MultiChoice. They owned DStv and GOtv, which many families used to watch cartoons, football, movies, and news. But something was going wrong...
