Elon Musk - Twitter Will Start Paying Verified Users For Profile Views.

By
Image
Twitter owner, Elon Musk, has said that the microblogging platform will soon be paying users for ads appearing when other people view their profiles in what comes as an extension of Twitter's monetization program. This offer is, however, exclusively for verified users, according to Musk. For creators on Twitter who are already getting paid for impressions on their content, the Twitter boss said the new monetization program would make it a double payout. In what appears to be an attempt to woo more users to pay for the blue tick, Musk said several accounts on Twitter could earn thousands of dollars if they become verified. Announcing the new monetization plan via a tweet, Musk said: "You'll soon also be paid for ads appearing when others view your profile page, approximately doubling payouts. "Many accounts on this platform can earn thousands of dollars per month in advertising revenue sharing if they become verified subscribers!" Twitter last week commenced its p...

ILU AJẸ (TOWN OF WITCHES).

By
Image
There is a small town on your way to Oyo, just behind Fiditi, it's called Ilu Ajẹ. Literally, it translates to "Town of Witches". In the late 80s,  there used to be a sign board in Fiditi that pointed to the path to the village,  the signboard had the inscription : "WAY TO ILU AJẸ, HOME OF SCIENCE!". Lots of people used to fear indigenes of Ilu Ajẹ because it was said that every man in Ilu Ajẹ is born of a witch, and every woman in ilu Ajẹ is a witch!. It was said some people visited Ilu Ajẹ to find out why a whole village would be populated by witches. What they said: Because the Baale (village head) is dead and no replacement has been chosen yet, we met with the chiefs who told us the history of the town. The father of the current Alaafin, i.e Alaafin Adeyemi II was said to have many siblings when he was young. One of his siblings got missing!  A king's son got missing ke? Infact, scrap it,  Alaafin of Oyo in those days was not a king,  he was an Emperor! ...

Tinubu Signs Electricity Act 2023, Empowers States, Private Companies To Generate Power.

By
Image
This new law will empower states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the country. The Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, has signed the 2023 Electricity Act which is a replacement for the Electricity and Power Sector Reform Act of 2005 into a law. The newly enacted law will de-monopolise Nigerian electricity generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity at the national level. This new law will empower states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the country. Recall that the Electricity Act 2023 was initially passed by lawmakers in July 2022 to allow the states to issue licences to private investors who can operate mini-grids and power plants within the state. But the Act precludes interstate and transnational electricity distribution. The Nigerian Energy Regulatory Commission (NERC) would be able to govern the energy industry within Nigeria under the Electricity Act 2023, without prejudice t...

Osun State Primary School Feeding Programme: How Governor Adeleke's govt stopped free meals in public schools in osun. 30 days after, vendors, pupils await govt's next move *By Waheed Adekunle* Saying nothing is working in Osun State since the inception of Governor Ademola Adeleke's government is to say the obvious, judging from the palpable woes and decadence that is enveloping every stratum of the economy in the state, in the last fifteen months. There is a philosophical cliche that says, "a house built with saliva will definitely collapse by the dews" - this is a typical aphorism to illustrate the feeble, discrepant and deceptive leadership under the present administration led by Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun State. It is now over a month that the newly-recruited Osun food vendors had vacated their places of primary assignment and stopped providing meals to the pupils in all the public schools across the state as government kept mute and turned deaf ears to ...
