ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has begun selling AI video apps and has begun testing employment function.

In fact, TikTok recommendation algorithm is at the core of the app's success.
Last year, the company explained on its blog how its ForYou feed determines which videos to show to a specific user. According to the FT, BytePlus offers customers the ability to access and personalize the recommendation algorithm for their applications and customers.
BytePlus also offers automatic speech and text translation, real-time video effects, and data analysis tools.
Also, TikTok is testing the employment function through the app. Users will be able to submit their video resume to Chipotle, Target, or Shopify. The function will be released to the public by the end of the month.

CONFESSION OF A SUSPECT-

Thread.

"I do what we call wire-wire, wire-wire is also called SIM transaction, so sim transaction is local wire".
"Any alert SIM I come across, with any bank, I can work on it and do transaction on it, I can withdraw, recharge and get loan on it".

HOW IGBOS WERE SUBJUGATED AND CONVERTED BY THE WHITE MISSIONARIES FOR THEIR HOME GOVERNMENT'S ECONOMIC WELLBEING : A MUST READ!

Thread
Having striven unsuccessfully for 33 years between 1857 & 1890—contrary to their earlier boasting—to convert the Igbo in mass to christianity, the missionaries (CMS, RCM, Methodist, Presbyterian) grew frustrated and became desperate to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, good or bad, to...
advance their ambition and scheme. To catalyse this desperation to convert the Igbo in mass was the bitter rivalry between the CMS and RCM at Ọnịcha and also in their head offices at London and Rome.

Nigeria has $2.5 billion in Sovereign Wealth Fund, $33 billion in foreign reserves as of July 2021 and $88 billion in debt as of March 2021.

Fuss over “Igboland" in Kano:

My subject today is about a news item carried by a provincial publication, Emergency Digest.
It had an interesting interview with one “scholar”, Dr. Abdullah Gadon Kaya, who expressed deep concern over what he termed the exclusive occupation...
of a “highbrow” residential area at Zungeru Road behind Kano Airport by “Igbos”.
The paper quoted Kaya as saying: “They have their massive gates, security and other facilities that prevent other people, especially the indigenes, from accessing.
Government should not allow such to be happening when we can’t go to Onitsha, Aba or Enugu and create an exclusive place for Northerners or Muslims like that…We should not have such exclusive places; the government should ensure that there are mosques, and Kano indigenes should
