Elon Musk has warned of a ‘massive drop in revenue’ at as advertisers cut bank on their spending with the social media giant. The billionaire tweeted: “Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.” - ADVERTISEMENT - It comes as the world’s richest man - who completed his $44billion takeover of the socal media giant last week - was reportedly looking to axe about half of the social media giant’s 7,500 global workforce as he seeks to slash costs and impose a demanding new work ethic. The announcement was delivered in an internal email to sent to staff. “In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday,” it said. “Given the nature of our distributed workforce and our desire to inform impacted individuals as quickly as possible, communications for this process will take place via email,” the message added. Some advertisers have begun to withdraw from the platform amid concerns expressed by some users that Musk’s plans for reduced content moderation to allow for greater free speech, and the removal of the free ‘blue tick’ user verification will spark an uptick in online abuse and misinformation. The news will come as a blow to Musk’s ambitions to ramp up revenues generated by the firm, which are reported to include charging users a monthly subscription for “Twitter Blue,” a paid verification which will give their posts to the site greater visibility. The blue tick subcription charge prompted a backlash from high-profile users, including the author Stephen King who tweeted he would be “gone like Enron” if Mr Musk imposed a $20 monthly fee that had reportedly been under consideration. Responding to the Carrie writer, Mr Musk wrote: “We need to pay the bills somehow.” |

bill9ja: You can tell your brother or sister here in Nigeria, to do it for you. Your presence is not needed for it. In this case, you will do individual income tax clearance certificate. It takes less than 1- 3working days for the tax clearance card to be out, depending on who do it for you. Just do it and keeps it Incase they asks for it. But if they don't request for it, don't upload it. |

The Federal Government on Thursday said it was seeking ways to end the trend of Nigerians relocating abroad. The government also noted that it would work towards ensuring Nigerians were gainfully employed to discourage the need to travel abroad. The Minister of State for Science, Technology and Innovation, Henry Ikoh, made the statement in Abuja while receiving the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organisation, Ms Deemah Yahya, who paid him a courtesy visit in connection with the upcoming Digital Nigeria Day Conference. He said the government intended to correct the trend through industrialisation, which could be achieved by synergising with the DCO in the area of human capital development. His word: “The synergy is what we require, capacity building is key and technology transfer is what Nigeria and Africa in particular needs at the moment so that the world can be a global village. We need to collaborate in all areas to ensure harmony. ”If we collaborate and synergise in the area of human capital development, it would guarantee industrialisation, when people are gainfully employed and moved out from poverty, then Africans and Nigerians would not be struggling to travel abroad because everything is here. We have all the raw materials; what we really require in terms of digitalisation is for us to cross fertilise ideas, train and retrain our people then things would be better.” Yahya said the group was in Nigeria to understudy her digital ecosystem and understand who the players were. She said, “We are very proud that Nigeria is a founding member of the Digital Corporation Organisation, which is a multilateral organisation that focuses on advancing the digital economy in member states. We represent 12 countries, from three continents, representing 600 million in population and $2 trillion in the GDP. “We are very happy that Nigeria has been a founding member and we are here not only to reiterate our commitment to empowering digital economic transformation strategies of Nigeria but also to understand the ecosystem of Nigeria, being the players in terms of government, private sector, and civil society. It is also for us to understand how the DCO can help support the growth of Nigeria and hopefully be an enabler.” The PUNCH reports that there has been an increase in the rate of migration of Nigerians to other countries. |

Isjaymoh:First of all, google is your nearest friend. Search for AL1 schools based on her choice course and locate an agent of your choice on the school website. The agent will helps out till the visa is out. NOW is the best time to start for next year 2023. Final advice, make sure you all follow up with the agent until the visa is out because sometimes the agent are too slow or make mistakes or etc. 1 Like |

Nigeria’s local currency unit is set to weaken further next year as its current exchange rate to the dollar is well above fair value, the Bank of America (BofA) has said. BofA economist, Tatonga Rusike, in a note to clients yesterday said the forecast based on three indicators – the widely-used black-market rate, the central bank’s real effective exchange rate, and “our own currency fair value analysis” – show that the naira is 20 per cent overvalued. “We see scope for it to weaken by an equivalent amount over the next six-nine months, taking it to as high as N520 per USD,” Rusike said. While the naira will come under increasing pressure “due to limited government external borrowing,” devaluation is unlikely to happen until after the February 2023 presidential elections, the bank said. Nigeria operates a multiple exchange regime dominated by a tightly controlled official exchange rate and a parallel market where the currency is freely traded. The naira exchanged at N440.95 to the dollar in the official spot market as of 12.15pm and about N731.46 in the parallel market, according to @naira_rates, a Twitter account that tracks the black market. The official rate has depreciated by less than 10 per cent since December 2021 even as the parallel rate is down by nearly a third within the same period, widening the gap to almost 70 per cent, BofA analysis showed. “The greater the disparity with the official market, the higher the likelihood of increasing excess demand for foreign currency on the parallel market,” the bank said. Analysts have expressed concerns about the impact of the elections on the value of the Naira to the USD in 2023. In May during the party primaries, demand for the dollar at both official and black markets rose to new heights as politicians mopped up the greenback for electioneering campaigns. The uptick in dollar demand has led to depreciation of the naira, which closed at over N600/$1 at the parallel market . Analysts warned that rising demands for foreign exchange could throw the naira exchange rate out of equilibrium. Such an adverse scenario must be prevented through proactive monetary policy. The chief executive officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), Dr Muda Yusuf, said, “What is needed at this time is a fundamental reform of the foreign exchange ecosystem.” According to him, the current forex policy has created enormous distortions which need to be fixed as a matter of priority, adding that the unprecedented gap between the official exchange rate and open market rate is hurting the economy and crippling investment. “We need to move quickly to reduce this premium. This is a more important conversation than the view of the Bank of America on our exchange rate,” he explained. On his part, the managing director, Morgan Capital Securities Limited and an economic analyst, Rotimi Olubi, said electioneering for 2023 general elections will further increase foreign portfolio outflows and cause Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to remain on the sidelines. He listed other factors expected to cause further outflow, including rate hikes and capital controls by the monetary authorities. Olubi added that the foreign exchange would likely come under strong pressure as interest rate hikes in advanced economies would result in portfolio outflows from emerging markets. Head of Financial Institutions’ Ratings, Agusto & Co, Mr. Ayokunle Olubunmi, noted that “what we are seeing is not different; it is something we see every election cycle. First of all, the election period is always characterised by a lot of demand for FX because wanting to give someone N100 million is very difficult in naira but if I just have it in dollars, it is easier. Olubunmi noted that in the coming months, the election industry will continue to boom while the other sectors of the economy not related to elections will take the back seat in terms of growth. For the economy in general, he said “there is something you can call the election-related industry, so things like printing, advertising, and all those areas will actually be recording a boom now. “For the economy generally, it is not like 2019 when we knew the president is likely to come back; now there would be a new president in 2023 and we don’t know the person or his stance on the economy. So, most businesses are waiting and nobody is talking about expansion. So, most businesses are not in an expansionary mode. So, there would be a slowdown in the business activities in the economy except for businesses that are election-related and businesses that are resilient like banking,” he said. |
