  Red Flags to Watch for When Touring a Rental Property in Nigeria Published on: | By: Pelumi Adelowokan | Reading time: 5 mins   Rental fraud in Nigeria is not rare. It is routine. Beautiful photos. Attractive price. Urgent agent. Commitment fee request. Then silence. Before you fall in love with a listing, slow down. Major Red Flags 1.  Pressure to “pay now or lose it.” 2.  Refusal to provide written agreement. 3.  No physical office or verifiable ID. 4.  Inconsistent information about landlord identity.   Another warning sign?

 The Nexus Community by Workium has launched operations in Abuja, Lagos, and Ibadan within a 90-day period, establishing city-based hubs aimed at organizing access to international employment opportunities for African professionals. The rollout comes amid sustained global labor shortages across sectors such as healthcare, technology, skilled trades, logistics, and hospitality. While interest in working abroad remains high across Nigeria and other African countries, access to verified information and compliant recruitment channels has often been inconsistent. Nexus was introduced as a structured response to that gap. Rather than operating solely as an online forum or event series, the initiative functions through city chapters led by designated community managers. These chapters convene professionals seeking employment abroad and provide guidance on regulatory requirements, occupation-specific demand, documentation standards, and employer expectations in various destination countrie...

  If education is the foundation of national development, what happens when that foundation excludes millions of girls? Across Nigeria, nearly nine million girls are not in school, not because they lack intelligence, curiosity, or ambition, but because the system designed to protect and educate them has quietly stepped aside. Their absence is so widespread that it has begun to feel normal. Empty desks no longer shock us. Lost futures barely register…But what kind of country accepts the disappearance of almost half of its daughters from the classroom and calls it business as usual? On a dusty road in northern Nigeria, a girl balances a tray of sachet water on her head and walks past a school compound. Laughter spills from inside the classrooms. A bell rings. Lessons begin. She does not stop. She never does. Multiply her story by nine million. Across Nigeria, nearly nine million girls are not in school, not because they lack intelligence, curiosity, or ambition, but because the syste...
