Ladies pride themselves now in twerking and exposing endowed parts gotten naturally or unnaturally...making their lives revolve around sex

Slaying for the gram for clout and assumed recognition

They sell themselves short...not knowing that they could be way more than that and breaking new grounds in different fields of expertise

Bro you are correct. It pissed me off when I see ladies so lazy, dependable, twerking inside car boot, twerking in toilet etc wasting away their usefulness to humanity it's so annoying.

God bless bro.

PVision2020:
Nigerian innovator and technology market leader, Kofo Akinkugbe, is the first woman whose ATM company is the first in Sub-Saharan Africa to be Verve, Visa and MasterCard certified.

Her company, SecureID, is a world-class manufacturing facility with the only smart card production plant in West Africa, and one of only six on the continent.
The company serves 21 countries in Africa, including her home country, Nigeria.

SecureID, which produces 200 million cards, has been recognized as setting the standard for innovation and creativity in the SmartCard sector in sub-Saharan Africa, helping save a country such as Nigeria, billions in imports for SIM and ATM cards from China.

As part of her contributions as well, Kofo is recognized globally as a leading African woman entrepreneur, who has founded a world-class manufacturing company competing successfully in a global market.

The company, built in 2015, was inaugurated in December 2016, as west Africa’s first smart-card plant.
Kofo, one of Africa’s thought leaders in the subjects of entrepreneurship and innovation in the technology sector, has once also won the Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship Mature Business Award.

Kofo’s Startup Story

Kofo served in the Nigerian Youth Service Corps after which she started her career in the banking industry, working with International Merchant Bank Plc and Chartered Bank Limited. She stayed on in the financial sector for over 12 years until 1997 when she left to start Interface Technologies, a security management and biometrics technologies company.

With a mathematics major and an MBA from the University of Strathclyde, she successfully ran Interface Technologies Ltd. (ITL) for nine years, before establishing SecureID Nigeria Ltd., an offshoot from a small department in Interface Technologies and the first VISA certified plant in sub-Saharan Africa.

Oga, read the report again. They said her company is the first to produce ATM cards that are "Verve, Visa and MasterCard certified," in West Africa. They did not say she is the first to produce SIM cards. sad

You're asking of why some people are bitter towards others Yet you created a whole account on nairaland choose your moniker to be Nyamiri
Nyamiri:


Cardstel was incorporated in 2011, this woman's company was incorporated in 2005. Yet, you're here telling lies.

Why are you Igbos so bitter towards others?
Why do you Igbos get sad that others are happy and happy that others are sad?

Any small positivity from others, you guys always bring negativity and evil.

Truth be told.alot of girls have grace and potentials but they have fear and lack of belief In them selves so they feel the quickest way is to sell their bodies or marry rich men.

Many are just lazy
Their families also don't help, and don't train their children. When people start having only 1 or 2 children they can conveinently cater for, most of their children will not be exposed to selling their bodies for money.
