Romance › Re: OPINION: The Wrong Place To Look For A Wife Is In The Church. by AlphaCEO: 1:16am On Jul 31, 2021 |
Ent3rpreneur: Before you jump to conclusions, hear me out let me give my opinion along with truths, half-truths and supposedly outright lies.
As the case is usually with women, they have a phase some people aptly call the "hoe stage" and this is the period they want to explore everything: drugs, lesbianism, countless diicks, clubbing, abortions, prostitution, juju and all other things. This period is between 14 and 26 years of age and when they have "tasted" all these, they would aim to "settle down" with a 'God-fearing' man. Inadvertently, they want to put their past behind them but unfortunately, a leopard doesn't change its spots.
During their 23 years and above, you find some of them becoming 'serious' in church, cleaning the church, heading the children department, being efficient ushers, so courteous and amiable. Some mothers actually use them to give examples to their errant children, "Don't you see Sister Ann,see how well behaved she is and how much she loves God, try and be like her". From age 25 and above, they become more desperate when they are yet to "tie down" a man and have a marriage and family like some of her peers. She doubles her efforts; she starts coming earlier for mid-week service,wear long skirts, join the prayer warriors, etc etc.
So, you as a male,you have also lived your own rough life, fuucked countless women, smoked, done drugs, done yahoo, even was a hitman for a cult group and now you're 38 you want to go to a church and find a 'well behaved' woman to marry, lmao . You'll now meet Sister Ann that is well behaved and speaks in tongues and cries whenever there is a worship session and you think to yourself, 'yes, this is the one'. She probably has a nice a.ss and boobs with shape that she has been 'religiously'opaquing with her 'holy' clothes and attire.
Woe betide anybody that is reading this that is having this thought, just know that God is not to be mocked, whatsoever you sow, that you shall reap. I'm no psychologist, but i'm 100% sure someone would comment, "But Ms.F lived a rough life and now she lives happily with her family".Yes, you are right, there are cases like that but believe me they are in the minority and there is a good chance Ms. F genuinely repented and left her old ways for good.
Sister Ann 'changed' because she knows her biological clock is ticking and wants to secure her future that is why you see cases of men coming to make lamentations in threads, "After i married her, she changed and was no longer the nice God fearing girl i knew", chances are that you met her in a church when she was speaking in tongues, you made discreet inquiries and was told that she was a faithful church worker.
My closing statement, "A 28 year old party girl does not suddenly 'change' and become a wife material." "Always judge her by her past, you won't ever go wrong" "Women are very predictable, ignore everything she says and focus on what she does" Largely accurate! |

APOPTOSIS: Can You Imagine What My WIFE Did To Me. What An Expensive Joke!. SNAKE In My WC!
SEE WHAT MY WIFE DID 2ME...  Shockingly, this happens to be my First Topic as I have never had this kind of close surprise/shock in a Long while.
Can you Imagine! I woke up early hours of JULY 9th to use the lavatory, only for me to develop goose pimples and palpitations. A ROCK python Right inside the WC...
The annoying thing was that, I still had blurred vision since it was 6am, so it was difficult for me to delineate it. I was already prepared for RACE when my Wife started laughing.
I was like what..?. But she kept laughing. The only word she uttered was " A Bigger Rock Python awaits me on my Birthday.
Could you believe, She put this Snake in our Water Cistern when she knew I will be using the lavatory in the Morning..
I may not near my apartment on my Birthday, because my Wife can be so dramatic. Highly unpredictable.
Ohhh! God, what a Woman..! Now, I understand the reason my mother in Law charged me to have all the emergency alert numbers handy. Whoa! A rock python?! That was a mad cool birthday prank there. It seems your woman is a snake handler or something... How did she get the snake? You two make a fun couple though.  Last but not least you have one of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen! Squicky clean. All the best. |
Romance › Re: Girls Find It Hard To Resist Guys With These Five Things, Number 4 Is So Common by AlphaCEO: 9:10pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
Yungstallion: Some girls have eyes for guys with good and quality things. They easily fall for guys that meet up to their standards, they find it hard to resist them.
A guy that doesn't possess what most of these girls want, will find it hard to win the girl over. Nowadays, the standards and taste of most girls are high and only guys that can meet up with their taste and standards will easily win them over without stressing themselves
Most girls find it hard to resist guys with these 5 things, number 4 is common.
1. Guys that are caring and nice. Girls have a very elegant heart unlike guys, they are easily driven by what they see. When a guy shows them, love, take care of them nicely and sweetly, they will easily find it hard to resist them when the guy asks them out. Girls find it hard to resist guys that are caring and nice.
2. Guys that know much about them. When you're too close with a girl, you almost do everything together, and you're always together, if you ask her out, she will find it hard to resist you. Since you know almost everything about her, she will see no reason for you guys not to be together. Girls will find it hard to resist guys that know much about them.
3. Guys that are God-fearing. Girls find it hard to resist guys that are God-fearing. If you are a guy and you play a very important role in the church, girls will always want to be around you. They know a God-fearing guy will never hurt them physically and he will never make things hard for them. God-fearing guys will always be irresistible to girls.
4. Guys with cool cash. Who doesn't like money? I don't think there is any girl that will resist any guy with money, even if her heart is like a stone. "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money" and that's why girls find it hard to resist guys with cool cash. Don't be deceived, if you don't have money, you will find it hard to maintain your relationship.
5. Guys with swags. A guy that knows how to dress well, look good, will find it easy to win a girl over. You see, girls like it when a guy has swags, they fall for it big time. Girls find it hard to resist guys with swags. Add yours. Elementary!  The Keyword: "Respect!" If babes respect you then everything kicks in. Then 1 and 4 are just about okay. |

DExplorer1: Hold Security finds hacker trying to offload stash of 272.3 million stolen email account credentials
Details of millions of hacked Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft email accounts have appeared online, where a Russian hacker was attempting to sell them on an online forum.
The 272.3 million stolen accounts mostly consisted of Mail.ru email account credentials, Russia’s largest email service, according to Reuters.
But the security researcher who uncovered the stash of email credentials said that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft email accounts were also up for sale.
1.17 billion records
https://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/shutterstock_70213381.jpg
Alex Holden, founder of Hold Security, told the agency that he and his team of researchers found a Russian hacker boasting on a forum that he was ready to offload a batch of stolen email credentials, consisting of 1.17 billion records. Those credentials included the 272.3 million stolen email accounts.
After a process of deleting duplicate records, Holden told Reuters he ended up with almost 57 million Mail.ru accounts, a significant proportion of Mail.ru’s 100 million active users.
The dump of data also contained “tens of million” of credentials for Gmail, Microsoft, and Yahoo email accounts, along with hundreds of thousands of other accounts associated with Chinese and German email providers.
TechWeekEurope is awaiting response from Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo.
‘Potent’
“This information is potent. It is floating around in the underground and this person has shown he’s willing to give the data away to people who are nice to him,” Holden is quoted as saying.
“These credentials can be abused multiple times.”
But in the end, the hacker gave up the stash of credentials for free, on the basis that Holden and Hold Security would give praise to the hacker in online forums for allegedly obtaining the data in the first place.
Holden told TechWeekEurope today that his main concern is the hacker’s lack of importance to the data considering its potential potency.
“If he gave away this data to us, he might of done it countless other times to different groups of hackers which may abuse or repost this data in many different malicious ways,” he said.
A Mail.ru spokesperson, after being told about the breach, told the agency: “We are now checking, whether any combinations of usernames/passwords match users’ e-mails and are still active.
“As soon as we have enough information we will warn the users who might have been affected,” she said, adding that Mail.ru’s initial checks found no live combinations of usernames and passwords which match existing emails.
According to Holden, there 40 million Yahoo Mail credentials involved in the breach. Microsoft Hotmail accounts made up 33 million of the credentials, with 24 million belonging to Gmail users. Alongside these, thousands of other login credentials were found that belong to employees in some of the biggest US manufacturing, banking, and retail companies.
“50 rubles is what the hacker wants for this incredibly large set of data. He can’t be serious; based on today’s exchange rate it is less than one US dollar. This greatly impacts the data’s credibility and value, similar to an expensive sports car being sold for pennies at auction,” Hold Security said in a blog post.
Getting rid
“’I am just getting rid of it but I won’t do it for free’, he replies. In all reality, 50 rubles is next to nothing, but we refuse to contribute even insignificant amounts to his cause. It is rather funny to negotiate over this, but finally the hacker just asks us to add likes/votes to his social media page (so much for anonymity). That we can do, and once he is satisfied with the results we get a link to an incredible 10 gigabytes in a compressed database, which takes us more than hour to download.
“Within several days of communication and after a couple more strategically timed votes on his social media pages, he shared more useful information.
“At the end, this kid from a small town in Russia collected an incredible 1.17 Billion stolen credentials from numerous breaches that we are still working on identifying. 272 million of those credentials turned out to be unique, which in turn, translated to 42.5 million credentials – 15 percent of the total, that we have never seen before.”
Past success
It was 2014 when Holden and his team found a cache of 1.2 billion stolen credentials in the world’s largest ever case of stolen accounts.
According to research by Hold Security, a group dubbed ‘CyberVor’ (‘CyberThief’ in Russian) had been using several botnets to automate the process of scanning for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection flaws. Later, they simply attacked the websites which were proven to be vulnerable to gain access to the credentials.
In October 2013, Hold Security identified a data breach with Adobe Systems. Later in December that year, the firm independently identified and tracked the Target breach.

Business › Re: Social Media Marketing, Getting Small Businesses Noticed by AlphaCEO: 5:17pm On Jul 30, 2021 |
dianah: I was talking to an event planner in Benin the capital of my home state, Edo , and I realised that as good as she was at planning/organising events she had no idea the opportunities she was missing out by not being social media savvy. The importance of social media marketing was totally alien to her till we had a chat and I demonstrated what It could do for her business, and the vast networking potentials.
With my mobile phone in hand , and a shocked Debby (the event planner) beside me I searched for Make-up artists, photographers, caterers and Deejays to help put together a wedding and of course she was nowhere to be found online.
I explained to her that on my last trip to London, I had literarily organised a wedding here in Lagos, Nigeria using my laptop and mobile phone. It was a long distance event planning marathon session.
All I had to do was search for the right people, using the right keywords, and the targeted event location and voila! I had an array of people to chose from. Make-up, caterers,wine supply, wedding cakes, aso-ebi etc.
So, if you are a small business owner, and you are not making use of social media to market your goods/services, it makes me wonder if you have any plans for growth.
Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn these are all free to set up unless you decide on a premium deal that comes with some fee, so why not make the most of these opportunities? Even my mum is on watsapp, so whats stopping you?
If you can not find your way around it on your own, get someone who can because social media marketing is worth its weight in gold. Very apt... even as of 2021! |

tanimola22: Let me share a trick. It requires serious hard work and research, but I assume that anyone willing to get something must be prepared to go to the ends of the earth to ensure the thing is gotten.
This is the trick:
1. Visit the websites of all reputable companies based in Nigeria (especially the ones that don't do graduate programs) 2. Go to 'our people' or 'management team' or our 'directors' and read all the profiles there 3. Look for anyone that attended the same school you attended 4. Send him/her an email, or write a letter directly to him/her. Package the letter well and send it by post 5. Start a cordial relationship with him/her 6. Finally, express your willingness to join his/her team or other teams in his/her company
I can assure you that if you are diligent enough with your search, you will get at least a test/an interview invite.
This is one of my numerous tricks that have worked wonders. If I decide to come to naija today, I should not have any problems getting interviews and tests. This trick works like hell or, well, it has consistently worked for me sha. You may want to try it out.
The trick is based on pure psychology: you will always want to help those who are in one way or the other connected to you. Why do you think most Harvard/Yale/MIT alumni hardly find jobs? Well, their people are well stationed in the best of the best corporations. You only need an email to get an interview, and if you are good at interviewing then you get hired. Easy!

Web Market › Re: 10 Simple Ways To Get Popularity On Twitter... Shocking. by AlphaCEO: 9:58pm On Jul 29, 2021 |
AspDrone: Do your tweets get noticed?
Are you getting enough engagement on Twitter? Twitter’s true value is in its engagement. Unless people are engaging with you on Twitter, you’re wasting your time.
In this article I’ll share 10 tweeting techniques that lead to better engagement.
#1: Keep Tweets Under 110 Characters Twitter’s legendary character restriction seems short, but if you’re maxing out your character count, your tweets are too long. Shorter tweets with around 110 characters get 17% higher engagement, and there’s a reason for that. When you leave room in a tweet, it makes it easier for people to retweet you and add their own commentary.
Learn 10 tips for increasing engagement on Twitter. Jerry Low says: If you are using all 140 characters in your tweet, your followers will need to edit your tweets before they can add in theirs and retweet. And, that’s not cool. People are lazy. Tweets that need extensive editing work simply get fewer retweets. Ideally, you should limit your tweets to between 80–110 characters.
#2: Tweet During Daytime Hours The Twittersphere is active during the 11-12 hours of daytime in your audience’s time zone. Between 8am and 7pm, your tweets will have 30% higher interaction . (To find out exactly when your audience is most active , you can use the free tool from Tweriod .) Be mindful of where your audience lives.
Image: Shutterstock.
That means you must keep your target audience in mind and adjust your timing as needed . If your company’s social media person is in Bangalore catering to a West Coast USA audience, she will need to adjust or schedule her tweets accordingly.
#3: Tweet on Saturday and Sunday Weekends are not the time to take a break from Twitter. If you want engagement, schedule tweets for Saturday and Sunday. According to the data, engagement is 17% higher on the weekends than it is on weekdays. Salesforce’s research determined that there is an inverse relationship between brands that tweet on the weekend and the engagement rates on the weekend. Weekends aren’t the time to take a Twitter break.
Image Shutterstock.
But doesn’t this data conflict with the point above, regarding tweeting during working hours? Not exactly. As the data crunchers observed, the daytime tweet engagement is high even during weekends. Salesforce reported , When brands tweet during “busy hours” (8am– 7pm), they receive 30% higher engagement than tweets that fall during “non-busy hours” (8pm– 7am). This even includes tweets published on Saturday and Sunday.
#4: Share Images Twitter’s rich Tweets give you higher levels of engagement for images and videos (e.g., Vine videos ). You can get a 150% increase in retweets just by including images . Buffer conducted an A/B test of tweets with pictures (A) and tweets without pictures (B). In each test, tweets with pictures won by a huge margin. The Buffer Guide to A/B Testing: http:/// Yo52ZBpmNs pic.twitter.com/lK5ubCNecO — Buffer (@buffer) April 11, 2014 Now sold on the idea of using images, Buffer is toying with the ratio of image to non-image tweets . They’ve settled on a ratio of 70/30 (pictures/ text). In-stream images aren’t anything new, but few users are making the most of the feature. It’s a lot easier to pop a few words into a tweet than to use images. However, if it’s engagement you want, you can’t afford to ignore the data.
#5: Ask for Retweets People are understandably shy about asking for retweets. In fact, less than 1% of brands have asked for a retweet. This is a huge missed opportunity. When you clearly ask your followers for a retweet, you have a good chance of getting one .
Salesforce reports that asking results in 12 times more retweets. Follow @LFCUSA today & you could win this signed Brendan Rodgers home shirt! Please Retweet pic.twitter.com/GFKobEVx9y — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 27, 2014 Here’s a tip: Make sure to spell out the word retweet in its entirety , rather than using the abbreviation RT . The retweet rate for “retweet” requests is 23 times higher than the engagement rate for “RT” requests. I would encourage caution, though. Don’t bombard your audience with constant requests to spread your message .
#6: Use Hashtags Hashtags double your engagement rate —they are their own implicit call to action. Plus, they create higher visibility on Twitter. What surprises me is that only 24% of tweets contain hashtags. I would caution you to limit yourself to two hashtags per tweet .
5 Ways to Improve Social Sharing on Your Blog http:///N7XoC0SVfa by @ MelACulbertson #SocialMedia #Sharing — SocialMediaExaminer (@smexaminer) July 26, 2014 Tweets that use more than two hashtags have a 17% drop in engagement. You don’t want that to happen. Stay in tune with trending or industry-specific hashtags to make sure you’re cashing in on a valuable source of engagement.
#7: Include Links Using metrics from Buddy Media, Salesforce reports that 92% of all Twitter interaction (retweeting, replying, etc.) happens when readers click links. In fact, tweets with links get way more retweets—86% more, according to research! Links and hashtags make it easy for others to interact with your tweets. Since tweets with links have higher engagement metrics, you’d think sophisticated marketers would be using links a lot more. Surprisingly, the percentage of tweets with links is around 36% (compared with 25% in 2010 ). Clearly we need to tweet links more often. How often? Twitter whiz Dan Zarrella’s analysis suggests you include links in 60-80% of your tweets as the “sweet spot for retweets.”
#8: Stay Away From Lifestyle Tweets While celebrities can get away with tweeting about their personal life, brands cannot. Twitter is less of a personal-life journal and more of a professional marketing platform. Be real, but don’t be banal . Dan Zarrella compiled a list of the top 20 least engaging words on Twitter. These words—such as work, home, watching, tired and tomorrow —are nauseatingly narcissistic. Your followers aren’t interested in your personal actions. Few people are going to engage with a tweet that declares that you’re bored or are going to bed.
#9: Use Strong Calls to Action Zarrella also listed the most retweeted words, which have a high innate sense of engagement and most are calls to action. Words like please retweet, help, follow and how to are focused on the reader of the tweet rather than on the sender of the tweet. Your followers are much more likely to interact if they are the focus on your tweet and you’re clearly asking for an action.
#10: Send One to Four Tweets a Day There is a mistaken belief that the more you tweet, the more ROI you’ll get from Twitter. Salesforce data shows you can get more engagement by tweeting less. Actually, tweeting too often can result in very poor engagement. This is particularly true for brands, which need to be careful about coming on too strong with their marketing. To up your engagement, constrain your tweeting . While you should actively respond to DMs and @ s , you don’t need to spew forth multiple tweets all day long.
Conclusion These 10 powerful Twitter tactics will help you regain momentum on Twitter. By implementing these data-backed actionable tips, you’ll be able to create a compelling presence on Twitter in a very short amount of time . www.socialmediaexaminer.com/twitter-tactics-to-increase-engagement/ |
Politics › Re: The Benefits Of Twitter That People Don’t Talk About by AlphaCEO: 7:02pm On Jul 29, 2021 |
eeetuk: The Benefits of twitter that People Don’t Talk About By eeetuk
The Nigerian government ban on twitter is bad for economy, and not just freedom of speech. However, given the evidence of misused of twitter and other social media tools in Nigeria, I truly support the idea of licensing twitter and Facebook.
First, let me talk about the benefits of twitter. Twitter helps to covey information from one person to another. Second, twitter is the most effective forms of marketing (Bulearca & Bulearca, 2010).
And, what other things do people use twitter for? My research shows that people tweet about interesting things they have found. For example, I read about a newly opened restaurant in my neighborhood from a friend tweet. The tweeted message said the restaurant has two chicken sandwiches for the price of one, a free drink of your choice and a nice place to celebrate birthday party. Days after the restaurant name went on the air, customers started pouring in from opening time till it closes. That translates into high revenues for the restaurant owner and provides more hiring opportunities for people seeking jobs.
Jacqueline Zone is a social media writer in Sprout blog. Her recent report suggests twitter sees 6,000 tweets every second. And for business, she argued “these conversations can prove to be a valuable source of customer insights”. And that means money too.
According to a University of Maryland study, Facebook and other social media sites have spawned the “App Economy” which has created between 182,000 and 235,000 jobs and has added between $12.19 billion and $15.71 billion in wages and salaries. A study funded by Facebook finds that in Europe, Facebook added a similar number of jobs (approximately 232,000, Daralus Irani, 2012)
Third, twitter allows you to share interested photographs about yourself, business with potentials benefits to your community and someone you know. You can also use twitter to share interesting news items you have found. And if you are a student, you can use twitter to share your research work with your teacher, classmates and get feedback on the progress of your work. This saves time and money.
Fourth, thousands of conferences are held yearly to promote empower ideas and solidify learning and professional growth. If you attend a conference, you can use twitter to share your thoughts with those who participated in the conference. You can also use twitter to ask questions and get feedback in a matter of minutes. You can use twitter to reply to other people tweets as well. Furthermore, you can use twitter to link any posts you have written.
Finally, is the Nigerian government ban on twitter a good idea? To answer this question, lets first look at what most countries around the world use twitter for. According to economic and social research council blog (2021), twitter is used by most countries around the world to perform the following tasks: Details of new publications or resources you've produced News items that feature your research Links to any blog posts you've written Thoughts on conferences you attend Questions to invite feedback Interesting news items you’ve found Interesting photographs Replies to other people's tweets Retweets of other people's tweets But in Nigeria, available evidence indicates the opposite. In 2021 alone, Nigeria has recorded high number of kidnapping and abduction of school children, farmers dead, killing of police and security personnel in the country. Those in support of government ban on twitter suggest twitter users are responsible. Evidence so far has confirmed misused of twitter is responsible for hundreds or thousands of deaths taken place in Nigeria. For example, since President Buhari issued ban on twitter use in Nigeria, killings and kidnapping have dropped down considerably. So, when it comes to security and safety of Nigerian citizens, I think Nigerian government ban on twitter is the right thing. And I also think licensing providers of social media technology is a good idea. It took many years to build Nigeria to be destroyed in one day. |

Pg1 Lemme disabuse your mind about how the 1980's was better
1.Things were just as bad then, especially when the oil price crashed.
2.Do you know Andrew? If you grew up back then, Andrew was always trying to check out of Nigeria for a better life...in a certain government propaganda ad...that was put out by the Bubu millitary admin.
3.Ever hear of SAP, and how SAP was sapping us.
4.There was one popular car sticker back then ...MY TAKE HOME SALARY CANNOT TAKE ME HOME.
5.Jobs were scarce back then...that was the time when many factories in Lagos were closing down...and becoming churches.
6.One lecturer recalled bringing mangoes from is house to dash students, because many of them were so hungry back then
7. Go and read Chiamanda Adiche's Americana, especially the growing up chapters.,...which give you an idea of how bad things were.
8.Infact the reason why some people refused to vote for Buhari now is that in 1984-5 he did not improve the economy much.
Things were bad in the 1980's. People were doing side hustle back then to survive, even using their car as taxi or kabu kabu...all because the oil price crashed in 1982 Word! Andrew's checking out on TV in the early 1980s was truly memorable. |

Investment › Re: How Pension Managers Are Cheating Nigerians by AlphaCEO: 11:43pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
Azwealth: HOW PENSION MANAGERS ARE CHEATING NIGERIANS
Nigerians need to wake from their slumber. This is necessary in respect to the issue of pension managers who collect forms on behalf of workers with the promise of a better retirement.
These pension funds are usually deducted from the workers salary but usually hard to collect when it is needed or at the retirement age. These pension managers request for many documents and lay down difficult processes before releasing the money to the owners.
It is usually even worse when the worker is dead and his next of kin wants to collect the money. He has to go through tedious processes and peradventure he scales through, there is still one obstacle to stop him-"THE ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENT". This is usually issued by the court of law and may take a year to get or even more.
What's even worse? The so-called lawyers will demand for 25% of the money to be collected and some other court officials will request for bribe to process the document faster. Before you know it, you have spent more than you are expecting.
Take for example, a colleague of mine who has #245000 with one of these pension managers died recently. As expected, his next of kin decided to claim his entitlement but was faced with series of obstacles which stopped him.
The most painful aspect is that when this funds are deducted, there are usually no clauses but when it's time to get your money, these clauses are their to stop you. The government should please intervene in this matter because this is a means used by the rich to cheat the poor masses.
This is a wake-up call to all workers to ensure that their years of labour do not end in vain. |

lalasticlala: SEC NIGERIA
Proliferation of Unregistered Online Investment and Trading Platforms Facilitating Access to Trading in Securities Listed in Foreign Markets
08/04/2021.
The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) has been drawn to the existence of several providers of online investment and trading platforms which purportedly facilitate direct access of the investing public in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to securities of foreign Companies listed on Securities Exchanges registered in other jurisdictions.
These platforms also claim to be operating in partnership with Capital Market operators (CMOs) registered with the Commission. The Commission categorically states that by the provisions of Sections 67-70 of the Investments and Securities Act (ISA), 2007 and Rules 414 & 415 of the SEC Rules and Regulations, only foreign securities listed on any Exchange registered in Nigeria may be issued, sold or offered for sale or subscription to the Nigerian public.
Accordingly, CMOs who work in concert with the referenced online platforms are hereby notified of the Commission's position and advised to desist henceforth. The Commission enjoins the investing public to seek clarification as may be required via its established channels of communication on investment products advertised through conventional or online mediums.

studentofTruth: It's a pity that some people think that the NSEC is addressing Ponzi scheme platforms with this statement.
Actually, in this statement, NSEC is attacking the likes of Trove, Bamboo, and Chaka, which are platforms one can use to invest in foreign stocks from Nigeria.
It seems these big boys that have rendered the NSE a pump and dump exchange are pressuring NSEC to prevent Nigerians from investing in foreign stocks so that they will have no option than to bring their money to the NSE, offering them more money for their schemes. They have noticed that Nigerians are leaving their fraud-laden NSE for them.
You see why I need to leave this country that is always trying to cage us. |

TMSMedia: "I Now Understand Why People Treat Domestic Staff Like Sh*t" - Wakanow CEO Narrates Experience With His Chef
The CEO of Wakanow, Bayo Adedeji took to his Facebook handle to narrate his experience with his chef which made him change his perception about Nigerian domestic staff, IgbereTV reports.
According to him, he treats his chef well, pays him a reasonable monthly salary and even adds additional cash as transport allowance.
He found out that the food bill was going high despite the fact that he was not entertaining guests due to the pandemic.
Mr Adedeji said he then decided to go shopping himself but only two weeks after, he was shocked to find that some of the supplies had finished. He was later disappointed as he caught his chef moving some foodstuff from his house.
Read his post below.
