Great opportunity to earn alternative income while doing what you love.

It is no surprise to see the remarks that these Nairaland users have posted above to this thread. Nigerians have come to be popularly known for such acts.

First, regarding 'use and dump', every recruiting exercise follows a process of selection and induction. Jobs are not offered blindly. What one person here calls use and dump was actually a case of a job candidate who was selected for a trial on the job and was dropped after unsatisfactory performance. Speaking of which if you cannot qualify to remain on a job, how do you get an opportunity to gain all the benefits promised?

Second, regarding 'payment of meagre amount', The Newsghost is a startup that pays its team on a revenue-sharing basis [this is clearly disclosed on our website and discussed with prospective candidates during recruitment interview]. And as a startup that is solely owned and funded by bootstrapping on proprietary finances and operating income, our operation has grown quite slowly and our revenue has grown very slowly as well. So it is only realistic and obvious that we cannot pay the kind of Shell standard salary that our friend here expects.

Thirdly, about the idea that this is 'pure scam', none of the substance that our friend has started here actually shows any 'intent to scam' anyone who works with us. Everything he has stated here contradicts the real idea of 'scam'.

Fourthly, about how we 'force people to click' our site, Nairaland is a forum where we have the opportunity to start discussions with the audience we target. If you note that statement, 'to start discussion'. Nothing says we have to localise all our site information here on Nairaland and after all it is a tool for starting discussions. In no way have we asked anyone to click our site from here by force, we only started a discussion which should lead interested audience to take actions that originally should begin from our site.

Anyone certain that we have committed any act of scam and is bold enough about it can report to the mods and allow the right procedures be taken regarding that. Trying to forcefully defame our venture by posting unreal, misinterpreted and exaggerated claims in this forum is not a sign of rightfulness and moral uprightness.
