Egbon Bosun, maybe just start by fixing NIN. Phase out BVN and any other non-critical numbers. Collaborate with the Ministry of Interior to integrate NIN into all identity-related data—birth records, tax filings, criminal records, credit bureaus, FRSC, LASTMA, Immigration, etc.

Big fan of how Erica has parlayed the fame (read that as notoriety) she got off BBN into building a solid name brand.
Thank you @kudabank for this amazing event for women! Thank you to all the beautiful ladies that attended and spoke! So much wisdom 👌🏽🤩

“Their products work with or without exercise.”. I don’t see why influencers can make such unfounded claims that ostensibly move product sales without the fear of any sanctions if/when proved otherwise.
I am excited to announce I am the first Male Brand Ambassador to @getfitng the Biggest Waist Trainer and wellness brand in Africa!. Their products work with or without exercise. WMG, kindly follow @getfitng and buy their products massively 🙏🏾 . Who dey🗣🔥.#WhitemoneyXGetfit

Ezra has just articulated my mindset on sex with remarkable accuracy, in a way I couldn't have expressed better myself, ever.
my relationship with sex is such that i acknowledge non-specific future opportunities for the act enough that i'm happy to defer and just cuddle.

The end goal should be to make NIN the single identifier across all government and private sector services, from banking and healthcare to telecoms & banking/tax. Is that too much to ask from our honourable Ministers?. @FMCIDENigeria @FMINONigeria @HMMohammedIdris @bosuntijani.

One step further; Simplify obtaining & updating NIN, so everyone, in remote areas or diaspora are not disenfranchised. Continue using the existing agent network, but also allow critical activities to be carried out online.

Give Nigerians control over who has access to their NIN data straight from their mobile devices, allowing them to grant or revoke permissions as needed. Let the MOI then strictly enforce data privacy laws that define how NIN data can be used—with severe penalties for breaches.

Then please release standardized APIs so private sector entities (banks, telecoms, e-commerce) can verify identities in real-time using NIN. Open-source the work if possible; plenty of developers and product + design folks like me would gladly pitch in for free.

@timigod Broke me man. I knew I was living in a broken country but experiencing that day, and more importantly, the reactions of many to it, convinced me that there was little chance of ever seeing the Nigeria I dreamed of. I’m now busy building a new life far away from Nigeria.

One of them has a proven track record as a political leader. The other is an effective trademoni agent and TikTok influencer. Where’s the contest sir?.
Peter Obi vs Osinbajo. Let's have a proper contest between two intellectuals. .

@AllyShimmer Easiest thing in the world. I like to think that whatever I lost to their action is/was the price of what I learned about them. I then just proceed to limit their access to me.

@Dxpo_ Normative Deviance. They are projecting that abusive or otherwise unacceptable behaviours are normal within their peer group. So they show solidarity—and even elevate those of lower standing if need be—to maintain this perception when such actions are exposed.

Nigeria lacks positive role models because we prioritise popularity and wealth as the main measures of success. As a result, we overlook individuals who have achieved success in both small or big things through hard work and integrity.
Nigeria is lacking role models. All the youth have to look up to are artists, influencers, skit makers & rogue politicians because these characters dominate our media. Portable could be more relevant to the new generation than someone like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Nigeria needs industries. We need large conglomerates employing hundreds of thousands of staff per time. Not this everybody-entrepreneur thing we have going on.

I like that someone with a platform like Klinton is addressing what is clearly a deep rooted cultural issue that we don't acknowledge. We glorify wealth as a people, tying it to our self-worth, regardless of how said wealth came about. (1/9).

Cruel amusement for me is watching Nigerians call on “the God of Israel” to save us from insurgency. Israel has MOSSAD, a fully militarized populace, and one of the most advanced missile defense systems on the planet. Oh, and they have their God too. WTF do y’all have?!

@spectrumphysic He’s 100% the man. This is a reactive take and I get it. We tend to forget that he’s still learning- both about his team and himself and we see that growth every year reflected in the season. It is what it is. We go again.

@OkoliIkechukwu2 @ToluTeee Google “how to establish thought leadership on social media”. This is 2018; skilled people don’t look for jobs, you sift through. Keep building value by learning as much as you can online - not only ICAN. Put yourself out there - LinkedIn, even here on Twitter; offer probono work.

Hahaha so funny how many times ‘alacrity’ is used in regular Yoruba conversations.
The first time I ever heard someone say ‘quintessential’ they were speaking Yoruba.

Exciting saga finally concludes with both parties achieving desired outcome. Transfer remained a well-kept secret until the end. Shoutout to @David_Ornstein & @FabrizioRomano for not revealing any details beforehand. Stay tuned for further updates in the upcoming days! #HereWeGo
Record breaking transfer concluded. Personal terms agreed months ago. Transfer fee undisclosed.

@DrJoeAbah CBN set a limit of N15k for non-pinned contactless payments. Contact transactions have a N50k limit. Your bank must have enabled the consumption of non-pinned payments on your card/account.
