@Magixlamy_ Mankind!

BAT - Batist Atiku - Atikulate Obi - OBIdient Makinde?

@ChuksEricE If you don't want South African investors, just make them sell their shares to non South Africans. What good would Nationalising do for this country? We have a sad history of such.

Rufai Oseni reacts to the heated argument he had with Senator Adams Oshiomhole earlier today on an Arise TV programme over MTN.

@Mazi_Chinonso1 Let him give him the cement for the original price of 11K, then charge him 5K per cement for security and accomodation.

Someone bought 50 bags of cement when it was sold at 11k he didn't carry it as at the time he paid, he now wants to carry it the seller refused release the goods because the price has changed (even though he paid in full)

@Psalmwrite Exactly what I always tell my fellow delusional fans from other clubs. We are rivals, why should I agree with your opinions. What will I gain from that?

I am a Delusional Arsenal fan!

@talkSPORT This one is running mad on agenda already.

VAR this season… what’s the worst decision in your opinion?

@Pamilerin If you haven’t travelled outside Nigeria to other African countries, you won’t believe it.

Nigeria is still one of the cheapest places to enjoy a good life in West Africa, no matter how much people try to paint it differently.

@GeronimoMorgans This one fell into delirium due to severe pain,

finally someone speaking absolute facts about Arsenal’s rugby corners and the refereeing standards. @jamesallcott 👏

@SirLeoBDasilva They are pained because they don't have Arsenal to bully around anymore.

Westham VS Arsenal 2006 Arsenal denied : Blatant penalty Westham player should been sent off. A fan threw a projectile at Van Persie But yesterday, where the right call was made is where the entire Football writers drew the line. This hate is funny

@PeakSxnti Yes ooo

Just coming online since morning…. Are they still crying?

@footbolmatter10 I like people with clear football sense. Although I don't know which team you fansy, but you look like someone who would love a team like AC Milan or Inter. Old football knowledge dey your mind.

🚨 It would be a disgrace if Mancity wins this league, this same city that lost both legs to the worst Madrid side in 20 yrs. Worst Pep Mancity side aswell. ‼️ Same Arsenal that gave PL the 5th slot in the UCL. Best defence and most consistent team in the last 4 seasons

@Adikastakes You can't support Dembele Balon d'Or because he plays lesser games, but you will support Bruno Fernandez for Player of the season against Declan Rice. Where is the logic?

PSG players are part-time footballers, they are the best team in the world but they have an unfair advantage to rest their players because Ligue 1 is WEAK!

@Tripple____M No one will score for Arsenal in the game. They will play penalty shootouts. Arsenal will win their first Champions League in over 100 years. Arsenal will draw WestHam, win Burnley, win Crystal palace in 89th minutes. Man city will draw Bournemouth. Arsenal wins EPL and UCL.

If you were to choose one Arsenal player to score the winner in the UCL final, who would you go for?

@viani310 Lads, why should you have sex with your girlfriend? Is she your wife? What has the world turned into? Ladies, why do you demand money from a man who's not your father? Why do you guys feel entitled and normalize having sexual relationships with someone you are not married to?

When she’s in the relationship for business😂

@Adikastakes It's going to be PSG 0:0 Arsenal. Arsenal wins on penalty shootout. Bookmark this.

PSG why are you celebrating? The job has just started! Better go and find how you’ll defeat Arsenal in that UCL final because the entire faith of football fans rests on you

@FabrizioRomano It works both ways. When you focus too much on defending, you do not score many goals. If you had played the way you did last week, the match would probably have ended in another goal fest. Maybe 7-9 this week.

❤️💙 Marquinhos: “Tonight we show that we also know how to defend, how to battle like crazy”.

@ChinoUTD Native English speakers don't use "and the funniest part" in their conversation. Thank you.

🎙️ Rio Ferdinand on PSG reaching the Champions League final: “Every football fan that doesn’t want Arsenal winning the Champions League is celebrating tonight. You can already see it….PSG fans happy, Chelsea fans happy, United fans happy… only Arsenal fans are nervous. And honestly, I understand why. Look at this Luis Enrique team. People criticised them after the first leg, saying they were too open defensively even after scoring five goals. Now they’ve gone and controlled one of the most dangerous attacks in Europe. Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise… and PSG still looked calm. That’s coaching. That’s structure. And that’s experience. Arsenal know they’re not facing a normal team in the final. They’re facing the defending champions. You think Bukayo Saka wants to see Nuno Mendes? (laughs) You think Arsenal’s backline wants to deal with that PSG attack for 90 minutes? Of course not. And the funniest part was at the end of the game. Enrique was laughing like a man thinking: ‘If we handled Bayern over two legs, why should we fear Arsenal?’ Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta looked like a man already celebrating reaching the final itself.”

@OgbeniDipo Tosin’s statement was misleading. He confused a skills gap with intelligence. Nigerians are smart and capable. The real challenge is that job requirements are evolving faster than the systems that prepare people for them, and it's a global problem. It's not peculiar to Nigerians.

Tosin Eniolorunda and his co-Founder are Nigerian trained. All of the day one guys at Moniepoint are Nigerians and most of them are still with the company and doing very well. Moniepoint employ, in total, almost 30,000 Nigerians. They are a top employer in NIGERIA 🇳🇬. They pay a minimum of 75% percentile of the market. Junior Developers earn N1M monthly. Most earn N3M and some earn N4M monthly. They have people who earn around N10M monthly! Moniepoint remains one of the highest transacting companies in AFRICA. They are a world-class company. And if Moniepoint did not exist, Nigeria would have gone to CHINA, completely. Tosin must have spoken from a place of deep passion and pain because human capital in Nigeria is low. I have tweeted about this several times as well. Yes, we have good talent, but when you look at the larger population of the country, we have so much work to do. This is a FACT! By the way, Moniepoint has paid some employees a million dollar in stock options (IN CASH). And there are at least 15-20 people who work with Moniepoint in Nigeria who are dollar millionaires! So, to say they underpay or they take advantage of cheap labour is redundant and lazy talk. Again, criticisms should be fair and balanced. But Business Leaders should never shy away from shedding light on challenges across the country. PS: MONIEPOINT HAS PRODUCED A GEN Z A BILLIONAIRE!! JULIAN DUMEBI DURU IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HAS TOLD HIS STORY. He was a Product Manager, then a Software Architect, before the final promotion to Principal Engineer all at Moniepoint 👏🏽👏🏽.

@Eniolorunda It is not news that Nigeria has a skill gap. My concern is what you are doing to solve your own problem. I dislike people who can identify problems but only talk about it. Let the solution be your CSR. Solve your own skill gap problem and leave others to solve theirs. Thank you.

I have followed with rapt attention the discourse that followed my conversation at the Platform Nigeria on May Day. The stark reality is this - opportunities are few and far between, unemployment/underemployment is high and sadly there are too few employers for a huge market such as ours, at least when compared to other markets such as China, India that have similar youth bulge. We Nigerians are some of the most hardworking and gritty people in the world. But we must tell ourselves the truth. Nigeria currently doesn’t have enough highly skilled technical talent resident in Nigeria to build companies that can scale globally. Interestingly, I have also read a lot of employers double down and agree with my current diagnosis around our country’s technical talent pipeline gap and confirmed it is true. Former Minister, Kemi Adeosun also referenced Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote comments around finding the right quality and quantity of talents for his refinery project. Let me ask a hard question - can we say that Nigeria has enough highly skilled technical talent still resident in Nigeria? That's a huge conundrum that any organization that wants to maintain market leadership must solve for. How many engineering executives do we have remaining in Nigeria that lead a payments team that handles payments infrastructure processing tens millions of transactions daily without fail? How many senior data scientists do we have in Nigeria that can create data models to appraise millions of customers while managing prudent NPLs? How many senior growth executives in Nigeria have the experience of growing a digital apps towards acquiring 80k customers a day through digital and offline channels while maintaining prudent CACs? It is important to note that this is not about Nigerians generally, this is about senior Nigerian talents still resident in Nigeria. Nigeria is not producing enough high quality senior technical talent and the little we have are emigrating. I can explain these to be that Nigeria does not have too many feeder industries across the board. As such, there are fewer starter companies that young talent can come from to feed into senior roles in other companies. Every one then ends up fighting for the same pool of senior leaders that have experience and bandwidth to deliver and win in the market. The effect of the Japa wave has been very well chronicled and I must add that this has been a trans-generational challenge. Remember that time in the early 80s where a lot of our medical professionals left for places like Saudi and the UAE? As at March 2024, Nigeria had lost around 16,000 medical doctors to other countries, most especially the US and the UK. The quality of technical education is also falling as our standard of education is lagging behind global counterparts. Can we say we have enough senior technical talent in Nigeria to compete with global competition especially China? But Moniepoint, Dangote, Flutterwave, LemFi are competing with them. Training young talents can fill the gap for the future but is inadequate for today. Companies need senior talent and cannot wait the eight to ten years needed to get them to senior levels to compete. In training young talent, Moniepoint has seen a lot of bright spots through our various interventions that are aimed at deepening the talent pool. So we are indeed doing something about improving talent density for the ecosystem. Through our DreamDevs programme, which is in its second year, we're training talented young engineering graduates with the skills they need to enter the workforce as top talent. We have supported the government's 3MTT agenda as well as a partnership with Unilag’s NITHUB to push the HatchDev initiative. Our Women in Tech internship programme, which now in its sixth year, provides women with the access, training and opportunities they need to build careers in tech. I also personally have a scholarship program for STEM students across select Nigerian universities in every geo-political zone. Competing globally also means that you spend top dollars to retain top Nigerian talents that you have nurtured. We routinely retain Nigerians that emigrate and pay them according to their local market standards. A recent example is an exceptional first class graduate we nurtured through our women in Tech program and had to go to school just as a path to emigrate and we had to retain abroad and offer an alternative naturalization path for her. Moniepoint has over 3,500 full time employees with over 90% Nigerian talents, and we’re growing 20% YoY. We’d love a world where this is at 99% while building for the world. Self deception isn’t a virtue and we must tell ourselves the home truth - we need to raise the quantity and quality of our technical talents resident in Nigeria to compete. No organization can rise above the quality of its output and execution is everything in this game. Nigeria will be great. Let’s all do the work together. By the way, top tech talents still resident in Nigeria, we need you badly. We pay above market rates and you will make real impact. Please apply here: moniepoint.com/careers For top Nigerian talents out of the country, we hire out of the UK, Portugal, Spain, India and Pakistan. Also apply, we are building digital banking infrastructure that provides financial happiness for emerging markets.

@lorddrey Many people don't understand Nigeria politics. Kwankwaso agreed with Obi because of his 2031 ambition. He understands that Obi cannot win 2027, but he needs obidients sympathy in 2031. Meanwhile, their win in 2031 depends on APC collapse after the 2027 elections.

I get insulted whenever I say Peter Obi can't win the next election. But whenever I ask, what is that factor that will swing a different result from 2023 nobody can answer. They keep saying "Now we have the Northern Votes." Great, but that is not a problem solved because Peter Obi had no voter issues. I was in the last elections and evidently by popular votes Peter Obi won. So Peter Obi never had any issues with winning elections, but Peter Obi and his supporters have spent 3 years solving a problem Peter Obi never had. The only problem Peter has is election results are being announced accurately. That important problem has not been addressed. Peter does not have a voter issue, but an INEC issue. And if you don't solve that problem you are losing again. 🤝

@mrlurvy It is not news that Nigeria has a skill gap problem. The real problem is the CEOs, like the Moniepoint guy have no problem-solution skills. He is a dull guy with opportunities.

Is it the same calibre of graduates who spell Corps as ‘Corpse’ that should be trusted with high-skilled roles at Moniepoint? Is it not on this same app where supposed lawyers CONFIDENTLY mislead clients? If you are truly qualified, go ahead and apply for Moniepoint vacancies. If you are competent, you will be hired. Moniepoint is not some roadside store like Awero & Sons Nig. Ltd. Using salary structure as an agenda to cover up for incompetence is dead on arrival.
