NAAPE Pilots Engineers unveil loss of licence insurance cover In Nigeria

The National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) has unveiled plans to provide comprehensive Loss of Licence Insurance Cover for all Nigerian pilots and aircraft engineers.

Most founders overestimate funding, underestimate distribution.

When I started working with one of my first startups earlier in the day, I thought money solved everything but later on I realized it wasn’t and I was glad I learned this early enough in my career then as a growth guy.

Because money doesn’t fix distribution. It only amplifies what’s already working or broken.

Where Are Nigeria’s Communication Avengers?

Let’s face it, Nigeria is one of the most misunderstood nations on earth. But that’s not even the real problem. The real issue is that we have failed to take control of our own story.

And when you don’t tell your story, others will,

U.S. President Donald Trump to launch military action in Nigeria

The latest threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.

Whether you are Christian, Muslim, animist, or non-religious, no one should celebrate such rhetoric. The United States and its allies have a long record of military interventions that leave nations more unstable than before. They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they won’t bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground.

What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign savior but legitimate, accountable leadership, one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken.

President Donald Trump does not care about Nigerians, not Christians, Muslims, or anyone else. Our deliverance will never come from abroad; it must come from within, through real leadership (not the Bola Tinubus of this world) and national renewal.

Beyond Caps and Gowns: Why Ghana’s Graduates Can’t Find Work

In May 2021, I interviewed a young man named Yaw Sakyi for an entry-level role. He walked in wearing confidence like a new suit — fresh out of university, with a polished CV full of promise: leadership positions, internships, and a degree with honours.

Ten minutes into a simple research task, it became painfully clear — Yaw couldn’t structure a memo, think critically, or meet a basic deadline. It wasn’t intelligence he lacked; it was preparation.

Every year, thousands of young men and women in caps and gowns march proudly into a world that has no space ready for them. Many are still searching for jobs, while others turn down offers because “the pay is too small.”

Ironically, the Free SHS policy, while a bold and inclusive step, has created
