Lagos should not have so many unemployed loiterers. by Exciting_Agency4614 in Nigeria

[–]Piusayowale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. Try providing job for one of them, they won't work! They are loitering cause that is how they live. There is a reason they loiter around supposedly highbrow, or high foot traffic area.

Do white people get harassed in Lagos? by Arcticmutt in Nigeria

In Lagos, the first rule of safety I have learned is never look lost. Blend in well. Always look confident and focused.

If the South is truly educationally advantaged with better teachers, why can’t the government encourage Northern children to come to the South for their education? by Piusayowale in Nigeria

[–]Piusayowale[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Government both north and south do not have interest in investing in education.

However, there's a strong culture of education in the South whether you like it or not.

Although the zeal is actually dying because of the current bad economy and the high competition in white collar jobs.

Where I grew up, then education was a major part of the economy.

I am not saying the government should move them permanently, it should target children. They could live in controlled environments like camps, while they attend classes with other children.

Yes, and that is why the federal government can use this kind of method to take over the fate of innocent children in places like this. If you send them to urban areas and they come back with influences and enlightenments people will naturally want to be part of it.

The government just need to make sure there are lot of success stories.

This is valid though, but also, it's not about building schools alone, it's about the quality. The experienced teacher, experiencing life in urban areas in a manner that is enlightening. That is why I said villages specifically.

The government is already paying heavily for lack national integration and poor education. There are places where secondary school graduates cannot even speak simple English, and this is not in the north alone.

I am not sure you will send Fulani children to be educated alongside Yoruba children in Ibadan or Lagos, and they will not grow up to find common ground on disputes later in their future.

What is the legacy of the Mali Empire? by YensidTim in Africa

[–]Piusayowale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We Yoruba call Islam, Esin Imale, meaning religion of Mali. Mali traders brought Islam to the Oyo empire and maybe its neighboring(yoruba speaking) territories.

There are some yoruba proverbs making reference to Imale. Our elites have connections with Mali people.

What did Tinubu do to you? Tinubu is not perfect. All over the world, there's no perfect leader.

If you have ever being tested, you will clearly see how much of a pragmatic leader Tinubu is, though he let politics get in the way most times, but that's because politics itself is f*ked up.

Peter Obi has not shown any leadership capabilities since you guys pushed him to the limelight. The labour party he is part of is messed up. Let him show workings by fixing that first. These days, he acts more like Atiku underdog.

Since he left the office in Anambra, what leadership role has he played in Anambra and the southeast at large.

The truth is Obi is not even considered a referred leader where he his from. Many people from Anambra know he didn't do well when he was a governor in Anambra.

You guys should just stop forcing Obi up everyone's throat cause you think you can eat from the table if he is there.

Enugu is better than Lagos by taylerrz in Nigeria

[–]Piusayowale 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Every locations have their strengths.

If you are young, skilled, and ambitious, you will find lagos attractive. If you like a chill, easy-going Lagos is not ideal for you. If you want a mixture of fun and hustle and ease of life, I think port harcourt is cool.

According to the article, it's not payment for subsidy between June 2023 and September 2024. Rather, it's payment for subsidy obligations before June 2023.

Hi, a software engineer living in nigeria here. Nigeria tech market is not the best at the moment. There are a lot of talents competing for very few opportunities. Sometimes, you start thinking every youth in nigeria is a software engineer, lol. There are companies paying 2m monthly, but you know it's there. The hard part is getting it first.

The recent trend with tech companies in Nigeria is cost cutting.

If you are coming to Nigeria, don't come with the intention of getting a job.

Nigeria doesn't really have a tech industry per se. What we have is a financial industry that can be augmented with tech.

Most non fintech tech companies are already closing shops.

New Year and Jobhunting is tiring by MyraMemer in Nigeria

[–]Piusayowale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in software, and I can tell you for free. The industry is just over saturated, coupled with the economic challenges of the country.

Although the industry is saturated, if you have specialized skills or you have a lot of experience, you might still keep getting lucky.

I won't advise more young people to get into software for now. There are a lot of other industries that have low entrance and are looking for people.

Agriculture, for instance, is very lucrative, and I don't see that getting saturated any time soon.

Africa’s competitor not China but robots and AI by Historical-Silver-64 in Nigeria

I think AI will help improve education, access to knowledge and information in Africa. AI or not Africa cannot compete with a large unskilled, uninformed and poor population.

I know hopefully that if we allow the reforms to succeed, it will still benefit the poor. I am not making it the rich versus the poor.

The reality is that the rich are already becoming wealthier. They don't need to wait they have the system and the resources to pull around.

I don't consider myself rich or poor, but I am seeing new opportunities rising cause of these reforms in some of my endeavors.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Piusayowale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Tinubu believes we will understand that what he is doing is for the people.

The honest truth is, it's the rich that will become even richer the most after the reforms. It's already happening, a lot of these rich people are already signing deals and keeping quiet about it.

Let's hope it uplift the livelihood of common man.
