tctrills: Why are you making references to places where 95 percent of the people are honest. Restrict your analysis to Nigeria where even your brother, wife, sister, is ready to finish the business by stealing from the business |

Sharing my friend's story, who in his good heart borrowed out the sum of #5Million to his in-law who needed it to run a contract he got in Abuja under one of the Ministries since 2020. The money was to be paid back in 6 Months as promised, in fact his sis who's married to the man kept assuring him that they were going to refund the money before the promised 6 Months, but it's 4yrs now and his money not refunded back, he has been having running battles with them for years now which has led to a big quarrel in the family. His own business has gone down for it for trying to render a helping hand to his sister's husband. At the moment he is considering filing a Court case against them, it's getting uglier by the day. So for me, i'd advice we all be extremely careful when it comes to family and business collaboration 1 Like |

Never do business with family. Never. In this Naija oo, it is a disaster waiting to happen simply because we are always to emotional. Except you do the right things legally which we mostly don't, the business will always run into issues when getting to the 2nd generation. I heared MOKO was founded by 4 friends and it's still running well, also heared the children are now involved. 1 Like |

Ishilove:An AI generated contents, for now, does not make complete sense. It says many things and at the same time says nothing. It's simply a regurgitation of well known facts. It gives you the feeling that this article is not complete, that something seems to be missing in it 3 Likes |

Ishilove:Common sense and a bit knowledge on how humans Talk and write. When someone writes, you can feel the emotions and Connection even if it's a bad writer you can still feel the emotions but won't be connected. A.I writes perfect gibberish, A.I can never recreate the Human touch of a write up, even if it does you'll still feel it off. 2 Likes |

oluwaseyi0: In my opinion you had a good intention but the execution was wrong. I am sure you understand his personality to a large extent. That is enough to help you set up rules and expectations. If I were you, even if I intend to release all the income to him, I won't ever mention it to him, I will make it appear like he will be be doing either daily/weekly/monthly remittance. This will make him sit up and stay committed to the course knowing fully well that he has a target to meet. Some people take small opportunity given to them for granted on the altar of friendship and family relationship. When I was serving I set up a business for an indigene. My intention was to dash her everything I invested in the business, but I didn't mention that to her. This lady was so committed , enterprising and resourceful. In less than 1 month this lady returned the capital, when she did I told her I wanted her to expand the business, so she should add that money back to the business. This was how this lady became big in that business. Well you have done your best, the joke is on him. 2 Likes |

BabaCommander:If you are avid novel reader, you will notice some novels these days are AI generated. Some movie and drama scripts. That's why there is no emotion no matter how the actors tried. |

oluwaseyi0: Because you are there! I have learnt never to do business with family or close friends. If you value the relationship, keep money out of it. |

Ishilove: What they are calling AI is really just scraping millions of comments and posts and recycling them. Which is why we are getting 'rate limiting' which is blocking external access to information on sites like reddit. So for AI to work, it needs to aggregate human content. But if AI puts people out of work, then there will be no more human content and eventually AI will simply be recycling it's own resources over and over again. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

falcon01:AI is going to be humanity's undoing. They have not even perfected it, but they are already rushing to upload it in a mechanical body for commercial use. Imagine what will happen if these AI gain control of the nukes and decide that humans are a waste of resources? I will be underground when that happens lol |

MarketDispatch: There is no county in the world where 95% of the people are honest. I think you need to travel. The formal president of US is facing multiple charges. The present one is suspected of corruption with his son. Oga stop living in a movie. Humans are basically the same. What would you say about the Dantata's. Allen Oyema of Airpeace has is entire family in his business. Fela involved his kids in his music. I know at least 2 hospitals run by father and children in Nigeria. So my oga please do your research. |

TolkowskyCut:Actually Africans have much stronger family unity than Europeans. Again, it's very hard to name many African business in it's 3rd generation remember, most of Africa was under colonial rule just 60 years ago so you don't have a strong case. But I can name you many businesses in their second generation. |

In business, there is no such thing as family. Profit is the motto and the people, a businessman has something to do with are those that appeal to his self-interest which is to make profit. |
