Following the official launch of the Gr8jobsng platform in June 29, 2016, the platform  hailed as the number 1 Recruitment platform in Africa and the first of its kind, has indeed lived up to its name and title by providing top notch world class HR services to Jobseekers and Employers.

 

The platform enables Employers to advertise their job vacancies for Free, access world class HR services in the areas of recruitment, outsourcing, training, pre- assessment testing, employee verification, CV purchase amongst other services.

 

Mrs. Omomene Odike, Managing Director/CEO of Gr8jobsng, a Lawyer and a Human Resource Expert with over 14 years industry experience is passionate about youth employability and has a vision to revolutionize the way we see HR in Nigeria and beyond.

 

She stated that the scourge of unemployment has become endemic in Nigeria in recent years especially with youth unemployment reaching an alarming rate.

 

Mrs. Odike is also of the opinion that as unemployment level increases, so also the rate of unemployable youth’s increases as a lot of youths lack the right skills, information and exposure required to be employable.

 

The need to improve the level of employability among jobseekers in Nigeria has necessitated Gr8jsosbsng to launch its Employability Courses via a Learning Management System (LMS) to potential jobseekers and also to help employers get the most suitable candidate for job roles.

 

Gr8jobsng LMS comprises of over 40 courses assessable via their www.Gr8jobsng.com  Platform and it covers a wide range of assessments from, Interview Skills, how to search for a job, writing a good CV, Business writing skills, Customer Service, Critical thinking, Sales & Marketing, Leadership, Time Management and so many more.

 

According to Mrs. Odike, the objective is to prepare and make the jobseeker more appealing to potential employers through short and interactive courses on the go.

 

Candidates who take the assessment on the training programs would be able to view their scores and have a certificate issued which can be printed out directly from the Gr8jobsng platform and presented at interviews.

 

Mrs. Odike reiterated that in today’s Digital Age, Learning Management Systems are here to stay as more and more organizations large and small are adopting LMS as it is providing a solution that is attractive, reliable and cost effective and with the experience of having run a HR Consulting firm for over 14 years, she fully understands the recruitment process and how highly it is important for employers to get the right employees.

 

She concluded her statement by calling on all Nigerian youths to embrace this initiative and start developing themselves through LMS courses and stop complaining that they can’t get jobs as Gr8jobsng has taken a call to action in reducing unemployment in Nigeria through the launch of the LMS programs.

 

Mr. Victor Chibundu, Head, E-Commerce at Gr8Jobsng also added that the Launch of “Learning Management System” was initiated out of the company’s passion to help curb the ‘Threat’ of Unemployment among the many youths in Nigeria.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has revealed plans to commence investigation into the activities of an entity operating under FF Tiffany, allegedly running a fraudulent investment scheme that has defrauded citizens.

A statement by the SEC on Tuesday in Abuja said preliminary information revealed that the scheme, which promised investors unusually high and unrealistic returns, had resulted in the loss of several billions of naira.

The SEC said it viewed the activity as a threat to investor confidence and the overall integrity of the financial system.

The commission assured the public that it was working closely with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies to bring everyone involved in the unlawful operation to justice.

According to SEC, those found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the Investment and Securities Act and regulatory provisions.

SEC reiterated its earlier warnings to the general public to desist from engaging in Ponzi or unregistered investment schemes that promised guaranteed or exaggerated returns.

“These schemes are not registered with the SEC and do not offer investor protection under the law.

“The commission is currently investigating 79 schemes and will make a statement on its findings at the conclusion of the investigation,” the SEC said.

The commission encouraged investors to conduct due diligence and verify the registration status of any investment firm or product by visiting the SEC website or contacting the commission directly through official channels.

SEC said it remained committed to its mandate of protecting investors, ensuring fair practices, and maintaining confidence in Nigeria’s capital market.

The Ogun Tech Hub in Abeokuta, Nigeria received a significant step towards increasing digital access and empowering young people as US Embassy in Nigeria launched the ‘Window on America’ facility.

The newly opened centre will offer free high-speed internet, computer access, and targeted programs to help young Nigerians build essential skills in technology, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

In a post on X (previously Twitter), the US Embassy described the hub as a modern ICT and resource centre meant to promote digital inclusion and provide youths with skills.

“Hello Abeokuta! We’re thrilled to announce the opening of the Ogun Tech Hub Window on America. This dynamic space offers free high-speed internet, computers, and programs to help young people gain tech, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills,” the Embassy wrote.

The facility was established in collaboration with the Ogun State and GFA Technologies, a software solutions provider for startups and SMEs.

The Embassy said the facility is part of its wider network of 29 American hubs across Nigeria, designed to empower youth and broaden access to global knowledge and opportunities.

Speaking during the launch, Ogun State governor Dapo Abiodun urged young people to use the ICT industry for self-sufficiency and competitiveness globally.

He lauded the program as a public-private cooperation that connects Nigerian youngsters with global innovations.

The governor said: “The Ogun Tech Hub serves as a collaborative space for technologists, startups, and social entrepreneurs to develop tech-driven solutions for societal challenges.

TikTok Removes Over 3.6m Videos in Nigeria, Citing Safety Priorities

Published

Kindly share this post

In a demonstration of its ongoing commitment to user safety, TikTok removed more than 3.6 million videos from the platform in Nigeria between January and March 2025, a 50% increase in removals over the previous quarter, for violating its Community Guidelines.
These figures were revealed in TikTok’s Q1 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, underscoring the platform’s priority of creating a safe, respectful and trustworthy digital environment.
With a proactive detection rate of 98.4%, which is content removed before it was reported to TikTok and 92.1% of videos removed within 24 hours, the report reflects TikTok’s continued investment in innovation, advanced technology, and expert moderation teams to improve enforcement systems that detect and remove harmful content before it reaches audiences.
With millions of positive, educational and entertaining videos uploaded on TikTok every day, TikTok is continually strengthening its ability to identify and remove content that goes against its Community Guidelines. The latest removals report represents a small fraction of the total number of videos posted by the Nigerian community quarterly; highlighting that the platform has more positive and empowering content.
In March 2025, TikTok also removed 129 accounts in West Africa tied to covert operations.
TikTok LIVE
While TikTok LIVE enables creators and viewers to connect, create and build communities together, in real-time, the platform has intensified its LIVE Monetization Guidelines, making it clearer how some content is not eligible for monetization.
LIVE content enforcement also remained a top priority. In the first quarter of 2025, TikTok banned 42 196 LIVE rooms and interrupted 48 156 streams in Nigeria that were found to violate the platform’s community guidelines.
A global system for localised protection
Globally, more than 211 million videos were removed in Q1 2025, up from 153 million in the previous quarter, with over 184 million removed through automation. The platform’s global proactive detection rate reached 99%, demonstrating continued improvements in identifying and removing harmful content quickly and effectively.
Despite these high-volume interventions, harmful content still represents a very small portion of what users post. Globally, less than 1% of content uploaded to TikTok is found to violate its community guidelines, a testament to its continued prioritisation of proactive safeguards.
Bringing resources to Nigeria’s community, together
In June, TikTok Africa hosted its “My Kind of TikTok Digital Well-being Summit” bringing together experts, NGOs, creators, media and industry leaders from across Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, to collectively explore, tackle, and improve the state of digital wellbeing both on and beyond the platform.
Part of a suite of announcements made at the Summit and building on a successful pilot in Europe, TikTok is expanding in-app helpline resources to Nigeria, in partnership with Cece Yara, a child-centered non-profit organisation prioritising youth safety and support. This means that in the coming weeks, young users in Nigeria will have access to local helplines in-app that provide expert support when reporting content related to suicide, self-harm, hate, and harassment.
Collaborating with experts, TikTok has also announced Nigeria’s Dr Olawale Ogunlana (Doctor Wales) as a TikTok Digital Well-being ambassador, part of a diverse group of verified healthcare professionals from the WHO Fides Network.
Alongside these efforts and commitment to safety, TikTok encourages community participation through user reporting and education. As part of its ongoing #SaferTogether campaign, the platform advocates for a more collaborative approach to creating a respectful online environment.
The Q1 2025 report reflects TikTok’s deepening efforts to safeguard its Nigerian user base, strengthen enforcement systems, and remain transparent about the measures being taken to uphold platform integrity.
