SoftBank has a reputation for investing in shitty and scammy companies, hope they get this one right.

I understand your point bro...

Nothing beats coming up with a very good idea and you will be done for life.

Business the way I look at it goes beyond opening a shop and sell one thing or the other..

Na God hand we dey



Yeah, everything na God dey decide am

Because there is known.
Opay is not an idea, it is a very old kind of business.
Whatever successful business you see out there, you will find they are based on old ideas.

Son is an aggressive business man. Agree with you on his philosophy of cutting losses and moving on. Like what happened with WeWork.

Hate it or love it Opay has the single biggest impact on the drive to a cashless Nigerian economy. China is really killing the west.

maybe the objective is not Financial but others and when such objective is meant no loss .....

The financial loss is the money paid to achieve the other objectives which may never be public..... Just saying.... some of them are bankrolled!

Hot water will turn into ice faster than cold water.

People should not go about heating their water before placing it in the freezer. It will be a waste of time and energy because the above statement is not true:

The extortion has started oo... My brother using Opay for pos complianed yesterday money in tune of 70k withdrew from his Opay acct to another. Many complain same from their group chat. I will confirm what up when I get home as they are all prepare to match to their office this morning.


I just thought as much. I knew them reinforcing back into the market when their Oride fell out of market would not be so pleasing.

This country if they must give you cap, they would later go for you head. What a shame
