Leo Stan Eke has cashed out big time. What a massive contract. What makes it interesting is because it's an indigenous company owned by an Igbo man from Imo State.

Damn!!

Shhhhh!

Nigerians mustn't know that someone from that extraction was patronised by the FGN.

We must sustain the rhetoric that FG doesn't support them.

africandollar:
Even for the Best Global Music category?

Sure that's a foreign category they created for patronage.

Imagine reducing the whole 200+ countries to that slim endeavour to get 1 person?

Ol boy, ol boy! That statement is really pregnant! Have the powers that be decided that Burna's time is up? I am referring to Diddy's use of the phrase 'first and only'. E be like Burna no go smell that award again if e no go apologise to Diddy and the Illuminati o.

Why are people so tethered to awards.

The reward for success is the work itself. Not awards. Awards corrupts our motivations sometimes.

Again, the Grammy's is an American award.
Non Americans have slim chances of winning it .

inforesource:
At first is not always sweet but we must get used to it. I understand the makomako wey dey go on but one should not get stuck in the system.

Used to what?

Used to the fact that transaction cost of 3 sugarcane worth N150 is N10*3 = N30? — 20% of the transaction's worth? — going to financial system/banks who don't even provide reasonable loan?

What exactly are we getting used to ?

Cash management is always trade-off.

A delicate balance between high transactions costs — due to frequency of e-transactions for basic things like sugarcane. Or cashbased transactions with low/no transactions costs.

Question is why isn't their a stop/decrease on transactions cost on a society pushing for cashless?

Who profits from huge revenues from more costs ?
At whose cost?

inforesource:
Smart aboki, let others keep lamenting.

So you believed this?

Is this even sustainable?

N50/100 sugarcane would make one pay N10 charges — that you're charged for N5000 transaction?

Who then benefits? Finance houses?

Light78:
This man could be among the people behind this naira scarcity.

Na who mess dey talk pass when people begin dey as who do am.

El Rufia and Buhari are like 5&6. Best of friends. He should stop acting like a saint.

In this case I think he's right.

Clearly the new Naira wasn't printed 1 to 1 with old notes hence the scarcity.

I don't know the replacement rate but it clearly wasn't 1 to 1.

WannaHowzit:
Shoprite, Game, MrP and Vodacom have already left places like Nigeria for similar reasons.

The reasons aren't similar.

But since the toga 'unfavourable business climate ' is a catch all for leaving a country. Then you're right.

FGN hasn't yet imposed a crazy tax on Vodacom, ShopRite, Mr Price or others

Ikechukwutech:
Are you ready for ipobs and Yoruba nation militancy?

Sad as it sounds those things are symptoms of other sicknesses in the Nigerian project.

Majorly poverty, dearth in leadership & corruption.

IPOB & YN are symptoms. Nigeria is sick.

ruggedtimi:
He is their brand ambassador....Geely & Mikano motors. Same company. Geely motors owns Volvo automobile

The vehicle gan gan is neither a geely not a Volvo. Or even a Mikano.

What's the vehicle brand? Any idea?

lhordspy:
Nigeria is doing great.

Yet some people will still be angry with this news. They dont like any good thing happening to this country. But they want to rule the country.

Sorry but this is a consumption news.

Says nothing about greatness.

Just like how a kid who camped overnight to buy an apple product isn't any great.

Segun2222:
its very easy talk to people in your street tech friends etc, i and 4 other roommates are sharing 3mbps speed and we stream Netflix on 720p.... up to 2 or 3 streets can share one starlink which is the main joy.... infact most universities in Nigeria wont need more than 5

How many universities have a population of 128×5 people?

Also a lot many people seeking to buy it adds to the $/N pressure. Which would increase the 600$ equivalent in Naira for many.

it's also Immobile. Not an on the go device.

rookidmart:
$43 (~₦19k; ₦32k) monthly for unlimited data is not bad. Way cheaper than the competition.

Assuming an average speed of ~150mbps (18MBPS) for which FiberOne and iPNX charge for ~₦62,000


However, the installation costs are steep: $600 (₦267,000 at bank rate; ₦450,000 at black market rate) vs ~₦50,000 for FOB or iPNX.

Reliability is a concern here though - would it work well in bad weather? Rains would start next year so I'll be waiting for your feedback by then.

Thanks for sharing.

PS how do you pay for subscriptions? Naira or dollar card?

It's also immobile .

Do I have to be home all day to enjoy it?

WriterNig:
The U.S/NATO don't keep to their promises. They can NEVER be trusted.

Here's a signed agreement between Russia & NATO stating that NATO would never expand one inch to the east towards Russia.

Ukraine isn't in NATO so what's the issue here.

Besides.

Lunja:
apc govt promised to create jobs, but they ended up creating more mentally deranged people.

Thunder faya every urchin both home and abroad.

Are you supporting mozlem-mozlem ticket?
May thunder & brimstone destroy you wherever you are...

Mad people everywhere!

This undergraduate is certainly not in lack of jobs though. Other causes maybe.

Jennyclay:
Shaa... Stay away from a relationship.

With 10k weekly salary, you're not qualified to be in a relationship. Don't come and put someone's daughter in poverty.

May God Help you struggling men!

In a country like Nigeria almost everyone is struggling.

Even people that seem to have arrived in Nigeria are a sickness away from poverty/destitution.

yashau:
Ganduje is one of the best governor we have in Nigeria as of today forget about his dollars bribery video, God bless Kano and God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬 😳

Forget about insecurity, poor economy, inflation, Buhari is the best President Nigeria has had.

See how stupid I sound?

My point is that IF you ' forget' about the bad things, you'll definitely be left with good things alone.

thebosstrevor1:
Like literally, most of the global layoff all over the world including Nigeria have been in the tech industry, from twitter, coinbase, amazon, jumai to Quidax.

Seems like tech businesses aren't recession proof.

First and foremost the businesses in tech are over valued because of speculation and ipo purposes, they employ a lot of people and then when recession comes, they are always the first to layoff lot of workers.

Till today, i still dont understand why tech companies will have 5k to 50k workers.

[b]Back in the days, you only need 5 to 10 [/b]employees to run a very successful tech business. And most of these businesses were profitable.

In what year did you need 5 to 10 employees to run a "very successful" tech company?

We have graduated equated niche software companies to "tech" companies.

HP, Dell & Nvidia are equally tech companies.

At their most successful, they CAN'T have 5-10 people.

Niche game companies or blog platforms like Mojang, Supercell or Craigslist have an average of 300+ employees. But they are niche private players with very different problems.

I don't know how many employees these guys should hire but they need to strike the balance here.

Anunakeeh:
Na Poverty still dey worry you

Not really.

People are different.

Joseph Cyril Bamford & James Sinegal were rich but still parsimonious.

Depends on the kick one gets out of spending.

faithfull18:
Maybe it's Holy water. You paid for perception, package, class etc.

There's no true class in Nigeria.

Nigeria is largely a poor country.

Wow.

How do states arrive at "Safest state in the country" Status?

Seems funny.

peepydelano:
Him sabi waka sha But all na hopeless waka. Unto something wey you know say you no fit win na im you dy suffer yourself put like this. Na wa for Obi and his supporters

That's what they told PMB since 2003.

You'll say the same if people attempt only those things which they are sure to win too.

irunoko:
I'm not racist.i am a Nigerian.how do you expect me to be racist against my own people? I am only calling them to accountability

Ok.

I thought you're in support of the fellow I quoted.
The fellow literally said that they wouldn't have been arrested of they were white.

irunoko:
lmaooo where did you see race mentioned here?

If them say go school una no go gree everything must always be racial to you and if it's about the word blackening and you don't Know,ask and I'll explain to you

Please re-read the comment I quoted.

Then read my comment again.

irunoko:
it was a blackening antic.by the way where have you seen people sent to prison without the judge declaring him innocent or guilty in court? Look beyond your nose

I have you an instance of a white arrested for a similar charge in Eastern Europe but you're bent on making it a race issue.

Ok.

Jennyclay:
They are being treated this way because they are Nigerians. Asuming they were white, they wouldn't have arrested them.
Prostitution has been happening even in the days of the Bible. These Cyprus people should rest abeg! Mtcheeeww!

Andrew Tate is white.
He's just been arrested for a similar crime.

KingKO22:
He said Tinubu is a “famous and credible name” associated with big businesses on the global stage and as president, Nigerians are poised to see more foreign capital and investment pouring into the country like never before.

You have said it all.

[i]There are more secret or reasons why Lagos keep monopolizing the entire Nigeria in terms of foreign investment [/i][b][/b]

Asiwaju is synonymous to progressiveness

Lagos status as a great commercial hub predates Tinubu.

Zonefree:
She's an Olosho... She got paid for her services, what's the noise all about

You didn't watch the video?

The noise is that she claims a diabolic health challenge came upon her as a result of their relationship.

englishmart:
If you say suicide is not an option, then how come it was the person's option?
Rip.

It's a rallying cry to encourage those in difficult times.

God1000:
This will further worsen relations between Sweden, turkey and the Muslim countries.

What the world needs right now is rapprochement, detente and entente.

Why did the Swedish government give him the permission to do such thing when they are begging turkey to approve their application to join NATO?

We should be bold enough to condemn Christian extremists

Far right leaders and hardliners in the West are too insensitive

They aren't so much as begging Turkey to ratify their NATO entry because of themselves.

They're doing so because they refused to stop supporting followers of A top former Turkish leader, Fethullah Gulen. A man who's been allegedly anti-Erdogan.

As for the Arabs government criticizing this act, it not new. Where were they when Deborah was killed by civilian Muslims in Sokoto?

They're shifty people. I wouldn't support this fellow's act but this is how a society is to be.

These are same people who burnt Salman Rushdie's book in the 80s & try to kill him till date.
for writing a book.

qedao:
Everyone that has an affiliation with Tinubu is just after their personal gains and not the collective progress of the nation.

Everyone in the world is after their personal gain to a large extent.

Including those supposedly after the nation's progress.

UnfairLife7:
Wait for election before you begin wail biko

I have no horse in the race.

I won't be voting too.

Just saying that State workers shouldn't be corced into politics.

UnfairLife7:
so Tinubu has been forcing Nigerians in all of his magnificent rally so far across the country ba?


Talk another thing Nwanne

He's talking about THIS specific case.

These are state government workers.
They shouldn't be coerced into political support in any guise. They're paid just as state Doctors are paid. Is it because they're vulnerable/less well to do?
