  The world is fast becoming a global and technical village. About 100 years ago, the level of technology in the world was very low. Back then, the world’s major labour had been manual. Soon, machines were invented and they, to a very large extent, took industries to the next level. Entrepreneurs no longer have to be at the mercy of thousands of human beings to accomplish a simple production; machines will do that with little or no human supervision. The greatest technological breakthrough perhaps, was the invention of computers. These are superior among machines. They can do unbelievable things at fastest possible times. They most times perform far smarter and better than human efforts. With the invention of computers came the internet and through the internet, the whole world has become truly a global village. Many people and businesses have moved to the internet. Top secrets pass through the internet from one part of the world to the other on daily basis. Huge amounts of money ...

Once again, the federal government of Nigeria has found another way to siphon public funds into the accounts of some very few set of people in the guise of creating employment opportunities for non-ICT workers in the country. There are 774,000 local governments in Nigeria and each of these local governments is to choose 1,000 artisans who would be employed by the federal government on contract basis for three months (September-December).

The federal government would employ these people for three months and pay them #20,000 monthly until things return to normal and they can be able to find their feet again. While this is a very good news, it is also very disturbing ...

Once again, one of the Nigerias political elites has done hilarious; something embarrassing. Bauchi States Governor, Bala Mohammed has appointed a Special Assistant on Unmarried Women! Theoretically speaking, it sounds good- the governor is concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of unmarried women in his state. A very good and caring leader. Unfortunately, it shows that the governor and those advising him lack foresight, deductive reasoning and understanding of what the Bauchi indigenes thoroughly lack. Before I began writing this post, I decided to do some researches and see why the state governor issued the appointment. I decided to find out how many men and women (male and female) that we have in Nigeria. As at today (7-8-2020), there are two hundred and eight million, three hundred and ninety-six thousand, eight hundred and twenty two (208, 396, 822) people in Nigeria. 105, 527, 483 are male. Which means that male in Nigeria is actually more than the females contrary to the erro...
