I, not you, said "They train their kids".

And if you reread my comment, you will see where I said, "It depends on the director that is weak".

This your chest beating by cherry picking 1 emerging entrant in 1 industry shows you are not schooled in business dynamics.

Examples abound all around you; 2go, JVC, Ericsson, Sharp, Motorola, Deawoo, Kodak, Compaq, MySpace, Yahoo etc.

Strategy is a course people go to school to learn like mechanical engineering. It is not by opinions.

You don't know me and you are saying I am not schooled in business. You make me laugh. Why will I waste my time talking business strategy. How much money will I make from it ? It's all about the Benjamin's. Business over Bee esti lauder

Obiedun:
I still don't understand what you are trying to bring out from this post. Your pictures and your explanation do not even give us a clear direction. Is it in carrying people you will know who is a racist or not?
Try to give good explanation

What I am saying is about racial perception. If let us say you are walking on the streets of Lagos and you see a 9ja guy carrying an Oyinbo on his back what will be in your mind. Then another day you see an Oyinbo carrying a 9ja on his back what will be in your mind.

cyberbro:
Why did they have to be so voluptuous? 😂🤣

How will I know ? I saw pictures on Twitter and downloaded and you are asking me how are they so voluptuous. Am I God ?

Mattswaggz:
Is that why you had to generate an image with big boobs?. .

Bro I did not generate anything. I got the pictures from Twitter. Saying I generated the pictures is like asking me to sing. it's not my line. The only generator I know is Elemax

TheBizGenius:
Your comment is both true and false.

True. Most Nigerian business people do not groom through the business school format. Instead, they just groom their own children.

False.
Every working & growing company has 12 sides. They are also courses to learn. Sales, marketing, finances, customership, clientship etc. The biggest companies have 12 directors or super managers who monitor each area.

Failure comes with a weak director who gives a wrong assessment in any of these company areas.

Note:
A 1-man company tries to master all the 12 sides by himself.

That is the reason why ShopRite collapsed. Look at Elon Musk he is a One man business that employes people. Look at Facebook he paid some Chinese man $14 billion for the Chinese man's company and to work with him, now the Chinese guy is allegedly complaining that there is no freedom to operate in Facebook. Freedom so that they can ruin what Zuckerberg created

MoeGood:
Really ? Racism exists every where. Look at what they do to Vinicius Junior all the time. It is because you have not left the shores

You don't have to leave the shores of Nigeria to experience racism. Racism can be via email. Racism is like our own tribalism

I never said they train their children ? Where were Nokia 12 directors when Blackberry ate into their market, where where the 12 directors of Nokia and Blackberry when Apple was immerging. Where are the 12 directors of Samsung, Apple, Motorola, Xiaomi as Tecno is about to become number one in the world ? Transionn is the world's six largest phone manufacturer. All of you that mock Infinix, Tecno and Itel will soon bow. Tecno is about to take over.

I came across these pictures on Twitter or X last week and for the last couple of days I have had to re-adjust my perception of racism.

This is a picture of two women and they take turns to carry each on their backs.

Depending on who you are you are going to have racial thinking.

Why is darker woman carrying the lighter woman on her back ? Is this a sign of Color Hirachy ? Are Africans second rate or do Africans have second rate mentality that the Europeans are the intellectual while Africans are the physical component.

The second image is a reverse of the women, the light skinned woman carrying the dark skinned woman on her back. Now this is where the thinking becomes complicated. Could this mean the African is now the head and the Europeans are now subordinate Or could this be the Europeans are carrying Africans on their backs because Africa is weak and defective and needs carrying ?

Depending on who you are the image of the lighter woman carrying the dark skinned woman is going to raise more questions in your mind ? Instead of seeing a light skinned Woman carrying her dark skinned friend playfully some Africans who are full of self hate will say the African is wick that is why Europeans are carrying the African.

Racism is so ingrained in the African psyche that when we see two people of different skintone it is at the back of our minds

JOAofAfrica:
The president we never had!

Happy Birthday to You Sir,

TheBizGenius:
You are someone else who would make a good strategist.

Imagine if all banks had just 1 big branch per local government. Mtchew.

For example?
The old banks used to thrive with 1 HQ and plenty branches.

At one point, they changed the business model to having branches and atm machines.

Later, Opay came to disrupt the market with POS.

Now, Opay app is the latest strategy.

Same banking product, different strategy.

Can you see that the old banks are struggling to match Opay? It's just strategic formations and deployments.

#wondering what they teach in business schools in Nigeria#

They don't teach them anything. In business school all they do is teach what others have already done. The teachers are not business people. No business man leaves his business to teach. The greatest message in business is Expand with Sense and understand the rainy day will come, so save as much money as possible and be very good to customers. One thing I know about people the world over when they are on top they isolate themselves thinking they are bigger than everyone else so they don't see when the trend changes because they are too far away. Look at Nokia, look at Blackberry

Mirasteel:
He is as sensible as Spain, nobody will join this senseless war.

It's a waste of resources

"President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest, that is what I have done". He also explains why Britain refused to allow America use British bases in Cyprus.

dappydozzy:
Look, dont let us argue on top of all that, the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania were carried out by Al-Qaeda, who created Al-Qaeda in the first instance ? who trained the top leaders of Al-Qaeda as at that time, (Osama Bin Laden, Al-Zawahri) ? These top leaders of Al-Qaeda were part of the Islamic Mujahideen trained by the CIA to fight the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. When we say the US is also a sponsor of terror you fail to understand, because a person who listens/ watches global media and a person who is a ardent student of world history will see things from different perspectives. These western powers are hypocrites, hypocrites draw enemies. Pure and simple. The US is a sponsor of terror as well and the CIA is the biggest terrorist organisation in the world. Google wont tell you so, but we know better than Google .

Just search for Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. He says it publicly at events and on social media

It'll take some time but I see some Nigerians are gradually getting there.

Arsenal are always winning the title. In Nigeria they have won champions league 4 times

LibertyRep:
Is there a management issue or Divestment or what ?
Because I see Foodco, Justrite and other malls opening every other day.

What exactly is the issue with ShopRite

Shop rite over did the Mall concept. I saw this coming when they open in Ikeja. They should just have had only the mall in Lekki and had much smaller structures around Lagos and Nigeria

Final kicks of a dying horse.

U.S. and Israel are letting them run out of rockets while mapping out targets for extermination in the coming days and weeks.

Enough time has been given for surrender before everything will be gone: military equipment, fighters, scientists. What’s the point?

Ha ha ha. Bros you dey funny o ! We are letting hunger finish us so that we can show hunger who is boss.

Phew....

Now he has been shamed internationally.

He has gone viral , he should be happy.

Alikoooooooooo:
Go on .....

The nightmare crystallized around 2023 in San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Villagers claimed armed patrols were needed after dark because these armored figures were hunting faces. The most viral story involves a teenager named Talia, who alleged two figures sedated her and started making laser-like incisions along her jawline before villagers scared them off. No bodies were found, no tech was recovered, but the story spread globally like wildfire.

The Peruvian Amazon faces illegal mining and exploitation. The idea of faceless, high-tech predators preying on isolated villages feels like a metaphor for being hunted by unseen, powerful forces. When officials suggested "illegal miners with jetpacks," it sounded absurd, deepening the mystery. Some link it to the Pishtaco mythoutsiders stealing body parts but this is a sci-fi remix for the digital age.

There's zero verifiable evidence. No clear footage, no confirmed aliens. Investigator Timothy Alberino found a terrified community but no smoking gun. Yet, that ambiguity is the point. It lives between "could be real" and "definitely a story." Ultimately, the Face Peelers are a modern urban legend born from viral algorithms and local fear. Whether they're aliens, black-ops, or just a collective nightmare, they've sparked global curiosity. So, enjoy the chill, but remember: behind the viral horror are real people and a very human need to explain the unexplainable. The Face Peelers might not be real, but the power of the story is 100% authentic.

No what are face impalers

The face impalers or face peelers were an unexplained phenomenon in the amazonian region in Peru.

humanity has a type. And for the last few hundred years, that type has been pale, brooding, nocturnal, and legally dead. I'm talking about vampires, obviously.

It's kind of wild when you think about it. If you told a peasant in 17th-century Eastern Europe that one day, teenagers would be plastering posters of a vampire on their bedroom walls and debating which undead boy is the dreamiest, they'd probably think you were the monster. They'd probably try to shove a stake through your heart just to be safe.

Because the original vampires weren't exactly heartthrob material. The folklore OGs were basically bloated, purple corpses that rolled out of graves to chew on their own families. They weren't seductive; they were gross. They were the physical manifestation of disease, rot, and the terrifying mystery of what happens after you die. There was no romance in a village elder turning purple and exploding when you stabbed him. That's just a Tuesday in a horror movie.

So, how did we get from rotting zombie grandpa to sparkling high school student?

You can thank the poets for that. In the 19th century, during the whole Romantic/Gothic era, writers like Lord Byron and Bram Stoker decided to give the vampire a glow-up. Suddenly, the monster had a castle. He had a cape. He had impeccable manners and a hypnotic gaze. Dracula didn't just want your blood; he wanted your soul, and maybe a dance. This was the moment the vampire became a metaphor for sex. In an era where talking about desire was taboo, having a count bite your neck was a pretty clear substitute for everything Victorians weren't allowed to do in public.

Fast forward to the 20th century, and the vampire became the ultimate outsider. Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire gave us Lestat and Louis—vampires who spent less time hunting and more time existentializing. They were gay-coded, punk-rock, and miserable. They turned immortality from a superpower into a curse. Who wants to live forever if you have to watch everyone you love die and listen to the same music for three centuries?

Then, of course, we have to address the elephant in the room: Twilight.

Look, you can love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. Twilight took the vampire and stripped away the horror entirely. These vampires didn't burn in the sun; they glittered like disco balls. They were vegetarians. They were basically just super-strong, cold-skinned boys with anger management issues. It was peak teen drama wrapped in supernatural packaging. Was it a bit cringey? Absolutely. Did it make billions? Also absolutely. It proved that the vampire myth is incredibly elastic. It can stretch to fit whatever the current generation is obsessed with. For millennials, it was abstinence and forbidden love.

Nowadays, the vampire is having another identity crisis, which is honestly my favorite era. We've got What We Do in the Shadows, which treats vampires like bickering roommates who can't figure out how to do dishes. It pokes fun at all the tropes—the capes, the hypnotism, the inability to enter a house without permission. It acknowledges that being immortal would actually be incredibly boring and annoying.

On the flip side, you have darker takes like Midnight Mass or Robert Pattinson's turn in The Batman (okay, he's not a vampire, but he's definitely leaning into the aesthetic). We're back to looking at vampires as metaphors for addiction, grief, and loneliness.

So why are we still obsessed? Why haven't we moved on to zombies or werewolves full-time?

I think it's because vampires are the perfect mirror. When we're scared of disease, they're plagues. When we're scared of sex, they're seducers. When we're scared of being alone, they're lonely immortals looking for a mate. They reflect our anxieties back at us, but with better fashion sense.

Plus, let's not overlook the practical appeal. No aging? Check. Super strength? Check. The ability to turn into a bat and skip traffic? Huge check. The downsides are pretty steep (sunlight, garlic, holy water, the moral dilemma of eating people), but humans are notoriously good at ignoring long-term consequences for a cool aesthetic.

At the end of the day, I don't think vampires are ever going away. As long as humans are afraid of death, obsessed with eternal youth, and looking for a metaphor for that thing we're too shy to talk about at dinner, the vampire will be there. Standing in the shadows. Wearing black. Waiting.

Just keep some garlic in your pocket, you know, just in case.
