  The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Saturday urged the Federal Government to guarantee the safety of Nigerians amid the ongoing war in Sudan. Mr Joe Ajaero, NLC Pres ident, said this in Abuja in a statement titled, “Nigerians in Sudan Should Not Die”. The statement read in part, “We have watched with increasing alarm and despair the unfolding tragedy in Sudan as a result of the ongoing war in that country. “Nigerians must not be allowed to die in Sudan because of negligence. No effort should be spared in ensuring their safety and, ultimately, evacuation to Nigeria if the war persists and escalates into a full blown war. “It remains the duty of the government and we urge the federal government to make this happen.” Meanwhile, the Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, had recently said that the recent burning of aircraft in the country’s airport might hinder the immediate evacuation of Nigerians stranded in Sudan.

But this is no ordinary visit. The vehicles are there to evacuate 217 street beggars and destitute to their states of origin, as part of the FCT Administration’s plan to rid the city of human and environmental nuisance. “This is not fair! We have nowhere to go!” murmurs a middle-aged man with scraggy beard and tattered black clothes. “Why are they doing this to us?” he adds. But the officials overseeing the evacuation have no time for complaints. They are determined to rid the city of human and environmental nuisance caused by homeless individuals.   For months, the FCT has been grappling with the challenge of managing the

  A new app created by Twitter’s co-founder and ex-CEO as an alternative to the Elon Musk-owned platform has just launched a version for Android users. Bluesky, created by Jack Dorsey, promises a future-thinking “social internet” that allows users more choices and frees people from platforms, according to its website. The app, however, is still in development and only available to access through an invite code. Dorsey began working on Bluesky as a side project in 2019 with funding from Twitter, and it was first rolled out to iOS users in late February. Many users have said Bluesky’s current beta version is similar to a pared-down copy of Twitter, according to Tech Crunch. Demand for the exclusive app has been growing, and the platform reportedly has about 20,000 users in its current form, the technology outlet reported. Moving forward, the app developers hope to give users “algorithmic choice,” which would allow them to choose how content is fed onto their screens, instead of a one-fit

Unless your entire family has spent all of eternity living in a cave far removed from civilisation, then there's a pretty good chance that at some point at least one of your ancestors was important enough to have their own Wikipedia article. No matter who you're related to, it's still you that makes you unique but there's still traits you'll have in common with plenty of people around the world. Some people are able to find pretty much exact copies of themselves  by just wandering around in the big wide world, but for most, it's more just a similarity of characteristic. Someone living thousands of years ago was the fir

Executive of the Week, Asa Aika: How Davido’s ’Timeless’ Rewrote the History Books and Soared to the Top of the Charts “Every time we’ve dropped an album, we’ve always set new records,” says TurnTable Executive of the Week – Asa Asika. For the past few months, albums from heavyweight Afrobeats artistes have consistently raised the bar for the biggest debut weeks on several streaming platforms in Nigeria. Burna Boy’s ‘Love, Damini’ held the biggest debut for both Spotify and YouTube in Nigeria while Asake’s ‘Mr. Money With The Vibe’ held records for Apple Music, Audiomack, and Boomplay.

Some OPay staff. Source: Twitter  The African tech ecosystem is slowly maturing. Older startups are  investing in new ones,  and employees at these older startups are leaving to start their startups. Last year, TechCabal covered the  former employees of Paystack (Paystack Mafia) who left the payments fintech to start their businesses. This year, we discovered that several alumni of  OPay  (OPay Mafia), the Chinese-backed fintech, have also gone on to start companies that are currently building tech-enabled solutions for Africa.  Some of these companies have either raised funding or have been accepted into global accelerators like Techstars, validating the problems they are trying to solve. OPay landed in Nigeria in August 2018 after paying  an undisclosed fee to acquire  a controlling stake in PayCom, a fintech company founded by Telnet Nigeria. In less than five years, OPay has established itself as a dominant player in the Nigerian fintech space and has produced several founders and
