NLC strike update in #Nigeria: National electricity grid shut down
“The country was plunged into darkness shortly after 02:00 local time when union members prevented operators at the country's power control rooms from working and shut down electricity substations.
Many flights have also been cancelled in the country's busiest airport in #Lagos, and in the capital, #Abuja, with passengers left stranded.”
Hello @mekkaokereke or anybody else familiar with working with folks overseas in #Nigeria is there a clearly preferred way to make international payments there? Domestically we use Gusto but their international fees seem vague at best. It looks like @opencollective would let us use PayPal or Wise. Are there any labor or employment law issues to watch out for if the person doesn't have their own legal entity we can contract with? Is it hard to set up an LLC there?
As a twin, ( my mother had two sets of twins), whose maternal grandmother had twins, and with twins on both sides of my family, I found this article on Nigeria's self-proclaimed capital of twins fascinating.

He aims to play for 58 consecutive hours and raise $1m (£805,000) for charity in the process.
