On matters of security, the bulk stops at the President's table. Like in other countries, Jonathan is the Chief Security Officer.Stop Boko H

@SamAkinlotan @YoriOlajide @_DeejustDee Will you say the same for ICAN?

@YoriOlajide @_DeejustDee I’ve seen enough incompetent & unethical people practicing with the accreditation to know it’s not a measure. Never got myself 🤌🏽

Don’t lie, have you ever hired someone because they have CIPM? Associate, CIPM

@ceraliza They IT should restore her account and transfer ownership to an admin account.

My coworker quit on Friday and my boss got so mad he deactivated her email immediately before she’d even left the building. Problem is… her account controlled our entire company calendar. Every meeting. Every schedule. Every recurring event for the next 2 years. Gone. Monday morning was absolute chaos. The managers were running around blaming everyone except themselves.

@SportsAdigun @omaakatugba You be legend baba

One of these days, I'll definitely do a roll call of those who went through my own "institution" (Sports Cafe, Let's Talk Naija Football) and give them their flowers. God bless all of them. Inside those Tight Settings..We sef no small for this world. 😀

@Richy_king_ @PoojaMedia That is not what he said

@PoojaMedia You guys don't get it yet, he watched the interview, any football fanatic will easily understand what casemiro said but my chief here will intentionally say the wrong thing cus you guys will definitely talk. Just know the game.

Casemiro said Bale is better than Ronaldo & not in a disrespectful manner. Not about talent but about being complete in all departments from attack down to defense. Ronaldo is the BEST but Bale is a COMPLETE player for him.

@Updateboyx @drobafemihamzat Is there going to be a debate for the presidential election too?

Waiting for those who will face this man in the upcoming Lagos state governorship election debate.😂😂 @drobafemihamzat at Kaduna State Governor’s Lodge for his screening by the APC National Working Committee.

I can point to at least two engineers Moniepoint rejected as “not good enough.” One is now a Senior Engineer at Amazon. The other works with a Silicon Valley company, shipping solid code. This isn’t a talent problem. It’s a hiring process problem.

@_alternatewolf Why are they still struggling to get at least 25% of 500 vacancies if the program you mentioned is that effective?

This tweet argues the following: 1. Nigerian employers don’t contribute anything to the talent ecosystem except complaints. 2. Because of 1, Nigerian employers are bottom barrel. 3. Because of 2, drag the Moniepoint CEO. 4. 3 assumes the Moniepoint CEO is bottom barrel because premise 1 is assumed to apply to him/his company. But 4 is _evidently_ false because they employ thousands of people and they have at least 2 programs targeted at building budding talent.

@ThePakuma @uwouma Have you ever worked in a company that are so rigid to change?

@uwouma Yes.

If you walk into a company that didn't have a process & before you left you didn't create at least one process. You are not a thinking individual, we must also become the solution we seek. You can't just be yapping about the lack of process, you are leaving value on the table.

@AramideOyekunle Your freind is lying to you

My friend working in Nigerian Breweries said they record an all time drop in sales in the last one decade. From their report, they figured the younger generations are not drinking Beer.

@BoldlyNigerian @Deshysmalls You are just trying so much to convince yourself , well done… how do you tax people that don’t have ??

Cos Nigeria has a $2.3trillion infrastructure deficit. Nigeria is also one of the lowest taxed countries in the world. On very good years, the highest we make from oil revenue is $25Billion. This means if we rely on oil & taxes alone, it will take us about 200 years to catch up.

@aonanuga1956 @tijanihabeeb Mr Bayo wrote Biography rather than reasons

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE Wale Edun, former Finance Minister, and Musa Dangiwa, Housing Minister, resigned; they were not sacked Former Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, duly tendered his resignation from office, citing health reasons,  before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced his replacement on Tuesday. Also, the former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, similarly resigned and thanked the President for the opportunity given him to serve in the Federal Executive Council. Edun, who clocked 70 on Monday and has battled recent ill health, fittingly submitted his resignation letter on his birthday, thanking the President for the opportunity to serve Nigeria. “It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve your administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda”, his letter read.  “Under your leadership, Nigeria has emerged stronger, more resilient and more internationally respected. “I wish you and the administration every success in the future”, he wrote. On Tuesday, before the Office of the Secretary of the Government of the Federation announced his departure from the Cabinet, Edun paid a valedictory visit to the President at the Villa. He held an hour-long discussion with the president and then left to focus on his private businesses. Dangiwa, an architect, previously served as the managing director of the Federal Mortgage Bank between 2015 and 2022, as well as  Secretary to the Katsina State Government, before President Tinubu appointed him as housing minister in August 2023. Edun, an economist and investment banker, served as Lagos State commissioner for finance between 1999 and 2004, during the tenure of then Governor Bola Tinubu. Before then, he worked from 1980 to 1986 at Chase Merchant Bank (later Continental) in Lagos. He joined the World Bank in September 1986 through the elite Young Professionals program, where he worked on economic and financial packages for several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.  In 1989, he co-founded Investment Banking & Trust Company Limited (now Stanbic IBTC) and served as executive director. In 1994, he founded Denham Management Limited, which has since become the Chapelhill Denham Group. He served as chairman from 2008 to 2021. President Tinubu has expressed deep appreciation to Edun and Dangiwa for their dedicated service and significant contributions to the administration’s economic reform programme and wished them continued success in their future endeavours. In the same vein, the President has urged the new Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, to consolidate ongoing reforms and advance the administration’s fiscal and economic objectives with renewed focus, discipline, and innovation. President Tinubu will shortly send the ministerial nominee for housing, Muttaqha Rabe Darma, also from Katsina, like Dangiwa, to the Senate for confirmation.

@fimiletoks Dr. Toks, how does this invalidate her statement? If your analysis does not provide evidence of the improvements on the value of our purchasing power, then you’re just giving textbook answers that aren’t applicable.

The CFA is anchored to the Euro and France fixes the exchange rate and controls its through the European Central Bank. Before Benin Republic was mandated to deposit 50% of its reserves with France. What exactly does Benin Republic gain by having a "strong" nominal exchange rate? Nothing. The country has a perpetual trade deficit, more than 9% of its GDP. It doesn't earn up to $2bn in export annually. Benin doesn't earn up to $2bn annually in export, this is less than what Nigeria earns from Cocoa. Their foreign reserve is less than $4bn. What business does a country like this have with a strong currency. Imports from France are cheaper, it's a dumping ground for France. It's cheaper to import bottled water than produce it in Benin Republic. France has used cheap imports to suppress their growth in exchange for a stable currency and cheap foreign products. Their exports are expensive, and apart from raw cotton, what else do they export in Benin Republic to guarantee the nominal exchange rate without the backing of France? A country that can't shape its own manufacturing and export destiny. Nigeria has recorded a trade surplus back-to-back for 3 years with increasing reserves. Our exports are fairly priced and competitive without a pegged or padded currency and the currency has remained stable and trades at market value. This is basic economic analysis.

@Hadebammy @ChuksEricE You never can tell, he might have tried some of the things mentioned above , I pray Grace finds him

But calling yourself “unfortunate” is where it gets dangerous — because it slowly kîîls the drive to pivot. After 18 years, you’re not entry-level; you’ve built experience that can be repositioned even outside banking. The real issue isn’t just jobs not working out, it’s that the strategy may need to change: visibility, networking, and positioning now matter as much as qualifications. Painful truth is that the system is flawed, yes but staying stuck in it without adapting will only extend the frustration. You deserve better, but it may require a different approach, not just more applications.

“Today marks the 18th year of me working as a contract staff in a commercial bank. I’m not proud of it, I have not been happy, I’m just managing. For the past one year, I have been applying for jobs but it has not been working, and sometimes it makes me feel I am probably unførtunate. Having a BSc and a Master’s degree in Nigeria feels like a w@ste to me because I have never used them. We are in a country where, if you are not connected, you won’t make it.” — Nigerian banker who earlier celebrated 16 years in the bank, now speaks out again.

@MrOlibaba @tehmie_ Again I say you are wrong, and you stressed it In the 1st and 2nd paragraph of your tweet. First of, the vendor which is the employer cannot promote and like you said above the promotion is not on the bank , so I ask again how does that performance influence promotion.

Read the post again, this time slowly. If you're a contract staff, your promotion isn't on the bank because they're not your employer. Your employer is the vendor that you are on a contract agreement with. What the bank does most times, is give rooms to conversion. I hope this makes sense now?

Let me say this. Length of stay and performance are the major drivers of employee retention in the bank both contract and permanent staff. The decision to let contract staff go in a bank is not always coming from top management. Most times, it sits with the branch leadership. And the key driver is performance. Your appraisal carries weight. But beyond that, there are things that feed into that performance. Error rates, how fast you resolve complaints within SLA, and even your attitude to work. These are the things that quietly shape the decision either to sack or reten. Every contract staff has an agreement with their vendor. In most cases, it clearly states that the contract is renewable, but only if performance meets expectation. If your appraisal is strong, your branch head pushes for your renewal through your vendor. If it is not, that feedback is also passed across, and it affects your stay. It is also worth saying that some banks go a step further. When contract staff perform consistently well, they are converted to core staff. It is not automatic, but it happens. Even during downsizing, the first hit usually comes from poor performance ratings and length of stay. And this applies to both contract and core staff. At the end of the day, performance speaks before any policy does. Nobody enjoys sacking anyone and we should also remember that this is business. Emotions don't make revenue, at a time to remain strong you need to make some painstake decisions.

@MrOlibaba @tehmie_ Nice one and while you working there , the contract staff were constantly promoted as a result of constantly doing well? Or would you rather say the guys that are stucked in same position are not working hard enough to deserve a promotion?

@i_rozay2 @tehmie_ For three years I was a branch operations manager with a tier 1 commercial bank in Nigeria. I have worked across three commercial banks in Nigeria. I have worked in two Fintechs in Nigeria. Would you still say my takes are assumptions?

@MrOlibaba @tehmie_ Because everything you have written is mostly untrue in my opinion.

@i_rozay2 @tehmie_ Assumptions? okay oh.

@MrOlibaba Sample size bro

Let's tell ourselves the truth. This stat is misleading. PiggyVest users are not a perfect representation of all Nigerian adults. I don't even use them. Also their customer base is lean compared to the population of Nigeria: They just have digitally aware users, younger demographics, some salary earners and side hustlers. Using a platform-specific insight as a “national truth,” is a misinterpretation of fact.
