Education Ministry-Funded Youth Overseas Program to Start Next Year The Ministry of Education says a program designed to encourage young people to participate in volunteering, internships, and other learning activities overseas with government funding will begin receiving applications next year. According to Deputy Education Minister Yeh Bing-cheng, the program is being supported by the newly established Youth Overseas Dream Fund and aims to help young people go abroad and "broaden their horizons." Yeh says the government hopes to select around 550 young people in 2025 for the program - which is open to Taiwan nationals aged between 15 to 30. The deputy education minister is encouraging young people with "good ideas," regardless of their family's financial status, to apply. Selected applicants (申請人) will receive grants of up to 2-million N-T for their own proposals. Projects currently being negotiated included student tours to the central government agencies in France as well as to different Indigenous villages in Canada. UN Condemns Iran Nuclear Noncompliance The U.N. nuclear watchdog's board has condemned Iran for failing to cooperate fully with the agency, the second time it has done so in just five months. The International Atomic Energy Agency also called on Tehran to provide answers in a long-running investigation into uranium particles found at two locations that Tehran has failed to declare as nuclear sites. Diplomats say that 19 members of the IAEA board voted for the resolution, while Russia, China and Burkina Faso opposed it, and 12 abstained and one did not vote, according to diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the outcome of the closed-doors vote. The resolution comes on the heels of a confidential report earlier this week in which the IAEA said Iran has defied international demands to rein in its nuclear program and has increased its stockpile (儲存,逐步積累的東西) of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.

Nigeria has been one of my frequent conversation when it comes to Africa. Their population is massive and their emerging market is salivating for those who works probably in retail.

She had a great career in Jakarta, an avid cyclist, very social and I would assume easily that her likeability is through the roof-then why on earth would she move to Lagos, Nigeria for three years? And that my friend, is a story needs to be told. It is no longer a surprise if in the future you or someone you know is assigned to do some work in Nigeria and when that happens, this podcast is made especially for you. Do enjoy the conversation as Ponnie made her stay in Lagos works for her. Link in bio.

Nigeria has a terrible history with international oil companies like Shell, having a hard time getting compensation for environmental damage. Even with some legal wins, like when the Hague Court of Appeals found Shell Nigeria liable for damages from pipeline leaks in the villages of Oruma and Goi, the country is still a long way from achieving true justice. To add salt to the injury, the violators have themselves gone on to sue Nigeria, sometimes using domestic law, but in the greater number of cases, resorting to Investor State Dispute (ISDS) clauses in Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) that Nigeria is signed to. As a result of these cases, where costs to citizens have run into billions of dollars, Nigeria has become critical of the current international arbitration system, and has since announced that it will revise all bilateral investment treaties (BITs) signed between 1990 and 2001. They plan to re-negotiate 12 out of the 15 BITs that are currently in force. However, at the same time, Nigeria has already completed the first three steps of joining the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). This treaty is frequently used by fossil fuel companies to sue countries when they try to enact environmentally friendly policies. History shows that, though the Energy charter treaty makes many promises of burgeoning investment, the reality is that it doesn't significantly improve investment prospects. Instead, the ECT's Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions give foreign investors in the energy sector sweeping rights to directly sue states in international tribunals of three private lawyers, called arbitrators. Companies can be awarded dizzying sums in compensation for government actions that have allegedly damaged their investments. When you consider that nearly all ISDS cases against Nigeria so far are already linked to the exploitation and selling of oil or gas, and couple this with the importance of the energy sector to Nigeria's economy, it's easy to see the risk the country could face. If Nigeria joins the Energy Charter Treaty, the effort to critically assess its current investment treaties seems rather futile. In many of the countries that are in the process of acceding to the ECT, hardly anyone seems to have even heard of the agreement, let alone have thoroughly examined its political, legal, and financial risks. And even with a supposed “modernization process”, which is supposed to deal with the problematic clauses in the treaty, it continues to threaten to bind yet more countries to corporate-friendly energy policies. Why are African countries like Nigeria drawn to the ECT, when the treaty has such obvious grave implications for their ability to determine their own internal policies? What is the broader context that informs this seemingly contradictory behaviour? To understand what is happening with the Energy Charter Treaty in West Africa, and particularly in the region's biggest country by population and economy, Nigeria, I spoke to Oberko Daniel. Daniel works as a tax and trade organizer for Public Services International, which is the Global Union Federation of Workers in Public Services. Currently based in Accra, Daniel also coordinates PSI's project on digitalization in the region Image: The retired Orlando Power station in Johannesburg, South Africa/ Wikimedia Commons.

Dear friends, I welcome you to a glorious new week in the name of the Lord. In today's podcast, I share on The Miracle of Service. In 1992, a young African American woman left the comfort of America (with some Christian sisters) to do a six month missionary work in Africa - Nigeria to be precise. They got themselves attached to a church in the northern part of the country where they served as Street Evangelists. Long story short, this particular young lady, met and married her husband in that same part of the country. Today, by the grace of God, they are still married. They reside in Cleveland, Ohio, and are blessed with five children. They are certain miracles that manifest ONLY at the place of service. Listen, and be blessed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rccg-coryonkers/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rccg-coryonkers/support
