Tinubu suggested tenure elongation for Oyegun? You must be dreaming! Wake up now or i pour cold water on you

Go and read the letter. No pour me water o

It seems u didn't read the letter of jagaban to oyegun, it was the jagaban that suggested the tenure elongation

Seun:
Juicy! Please share.


If the stories are true, they'll inspire us by showing us that our spiritual idols are imperfect, just like us. We can learn from their mistakes too.

Nope. It won't inspire you. Am too smart for that. My dad is also a minister and I know how terrible I was then, so I won't judge others. Thank you

Who ones that ass in your dp

teamsynergy:
Gimme one example

Did u live with these people, just because you haven't heard anything terrible doesn't mean they are clean. Have u asked your self why all Pastor kumuyis children schooled abroad? Oh you forgot the wedding of one of his sons few years back and how he went against everything his father preached? Don't let me mention that of some of the other ones because it doesn't profit me anything to be spreading stuffs about.

SAVEDBABA:
omo....he be like say you get some kind gist .......make we hear abeg

I know some of those guys especially Issac Oyedepo, but what do I stand to gain In spreading negative stories about people. Some of them are matured now and turned from their past ways

teamsynergy:
You hardly see kids of big pastors being wayward... Eg Adeboye, oyedepo, Sam adeyemi, kumuyi, .... Probably cos they pay more attention and they have enough money to raise their kids well.... Most wayward pastors' kids have seen r usually poor and uncatered for...

Don't say what you don't know.

desreek9:
Sir believe me when i tell u, from my point of view they r not right

What do you know sef, what is even your point of view. This is how we keep praising people that eat us dry and we hip all the blame on government. Do you know how these billionaires live fat on our money? Don't let me go into that of dangote and is shady deals. Guys like this are locked up in sane countries If caught, but that won't happen here in naija because of people like u

Any car can do this, it all depends on the driver

DriveByKiller:
you ever bought anything fake on olx? I haven’t. Even when I buy by proxy. It simply means you paid before getting your hands on the goods or couldn’t decipher a fake product from a genuine one.

60% of scammers in olx!!! You have to be shiiting me.

I have bought an iPad there before, I had to give it out when it became a nuisance and won't work well. I won't say what I haven't experienced. Its been long they wanted to sell OLX. I once heard from a reliable source that payporte was approached to buy olx but they refused. Why did u think they rejected it

DriveByKiller:
so I should quote those who share my own opinion as a proof too?

For every 419 you find in OLX, you have also in jiji. And they don't even number 20%.

You are being economical with the truth . atleast there are almost 60% scammers there and most things you buy are faulty .

Letoma:
why will they not close their Nigerian office, Internet fraudsters from Nigerian have hijacked, the platform, for too long,and they become helpless, the last options is for them to close it.

DriveByKiller.. This another one

tosyne2much:
They should kuku close down jawe... OLX is highly dominated by 419

DriveByKiller I hope this will help your understanding about the whole thing

bravehost4u:
Olx App deleted.
You saw no reason to remain in my country, I saw no reason to keep you in my phone

Na wa o.. So people still use 2go

The baker is savage!


My brother if you find an ancestor over 32+ Love yourself…… run away from these dinosaurs



#34 and sexy

But you know he is right about alot of things he said

Ths post is really funny, but this guy has totally observed those 30+ ladies, and I must confess he is right

You must be joking I guess. 3.8

radiokilla:
South Africans are bigots. First it was PayPal, then MTN and their exorbitant data and call plans, and now OLX has sacked Nigerians from their jobs. Retards

Stop blaming SA for everything. OLX is finished in Nigeria. Am privy to a source who said they approached payporte to buy OLX but Payporte declined.

Dollyak:
The voltage drop will be immense and it's simply not economical either way. Anyways, a good practice is to design your network for diversified load. Unless you're going to limit each house usages by installing smaller cut out than the typical 100A cut out, all it takes is some few houses to switch on fridges and Ac and then you'll be in trouble.


So how does 1MW equals 85kW?.

Fridges and AC in a village Don't be surprised if many of them don't have pressing iron sef

MISTAICEY02288:
Oh yea she's got some attitudes. I actually know she is loyal and doesn't cheat though. But she seems not to be as committed as i am to the relationship. She doesn't call often or send messages. Most times lately, i do the talking first before her. We both might be online on Whatsapp and she wouldn't say a thin until i do that. I believe she loves me actually but i cant continue being the one doing the most. You can imagine having a partner who doesn't call or keep in touch with you whereas some other dude keeps in touch with you more often than your so called partner. Thats exactly whats goin on now. Theres this lady who calls and messages me every moment just to know how i am doing while babe doesn't do that often.

I was once in your shoe too, in fact I planned dumbing her in January, I was going to do that even on December 31 ,2017. I spoke with someone who asked me to take a chill.. I stopped calling, I stopped everything.. Then she called to ask why I snubbed her then I told her I told her how I felt. She later changed, she starts asking me about my job, she started getting involved in matters concerning me. Then she started calling too. Before you take that decision try to bone her first but if within 48hrs she didn't cal u or miss you, then you can go ahead. Some ladies are just too laid back and naturally lazy in some areas. They dont Even learn from the romance movies they watch often, but you just have to lead them some times

DriveByKiller:
so if JiJI is bought it indicates it failed. WhatsApp was bought by Facebook, YouTube was bought by google. Where they failing before the acquisition?

Why are you projecting the madness in your head by predicting what my actions will be over an event that may never even occur.




This thread is about olx closing shop in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana and we’re listing things it has done wrong and its operations l,yet the only thing you have to day was I was showing people I know the word “UX”

I think you’re just a shiftless unproductive pot-bellied programmer who thinks it’s a big deal to use the word “UX” in 2018.
And you call JiJI or olx a tech business?

Loooolz, you’re a confused whelp with multiple brain disorder.

Have said it before you know next to nothing. This is the problem of some of you guys here, always claiming to know. Your level of ignorance is embarrassing, I sincerely can't help you.

glambo:
Monetize whatsapp in what sense.
If you mean people subscribing to use the platform then they might end up the like hotmail and onebox.

I could remember vividlyD buwhen the internet was just becoming the in thing in Nigeria way back 1997 and cybercafe was the only place you can use the internet.
I use to have a hotmail and onebox account while my yahoo mail was just Secondary, then Onebox and hotmail came up with yearly subscription and gradually people move from the two to yahoo.
I still use my yahoo acct 5hat was created in 1998 till date while have totally forgotten about onebox and hotmail and you can hardly find anyone using either of the two anymore.

So many youths sef don't know what onebox is, . But to be honest the subscription is just for a year now, and very small. Lol ppl wicked sha

DriveByKiller:
Have you ever browsed OLX pages and try skipping backwards to the previous page? Sometimes,you're taken right out of the column you are to home page.

Ever placed ads on OLX and received notifications that the pics aren't discernible? Or you realised how slow their platform is?

Over 70 percent of Ads in OLX are also found on JiJi but jiji has the edge in a user friendly platform, very fast platform. Easy ability to search for add and register within your locality.

Chat and call virtual buttons right on top of each ad for easy and quick access to the sellers.

I have received so many emails from jiji teams in clientele survey informing me that I was viewing so and so product and how was the conduct of the sellers!

These are what OLX lacks.

It's a bit surprising that you're more concerned about my use of the term 'UX' than any other point I made. I won't be surprised if you're a sizzling , miserable whelp in real life who carries on like a teenage female having pimples for the first time.

Learn to be objective and keep your inferior emotions in check so you may live longer than OLX in Nigeria.

Mr man go and sit down, you know next to nothing about the Tech business. All what u said is negligible and won't bring down a huge tech business as OLX, infact jiji is going the same route and may be sold this year too. Maybe when that is done you will look for something else to say � that caused JIJi fall. They asked you what was your name u are replying by saying you like beans and rice. Lmao.. What's the relationship

IForgotMyLoginD:
In as much as I agree with you on most of the points made, you need to understand that it isn’t the media that’s deceiving a lot o.

The media is just a medium to reach out. It works for some Yes, but if a start up decides to pump millions into advertising, they do that at their own volition. So don’t blame us for people’s poor sense of business strategy or module.

On the flip side, there are businesses that thrive well with major advertising... but advertising / publicity alone isn’t what drives a business to success. Advertising is just an ingredient. Every other thing has to be put in place. So when businesses fail, blaming a sector that has no control in decision making of SMEs or Established firms is wrong.

Don't mind them, when you receive some briefs you know there is no sense in the strategy but they just want you to go ahead with it. And some render really poor services but they simply think they can force it down customers throat through ads

nurshah:
Please remove spending on adds... This is very necessary for sales u can advise that it be minimized..
Even coca cola as big as they are still advertise. One needs to tell or remind people of their product. Advertising symonds to sales so, please edit

That was why I didn't totally agree with him

DriveByKiller:
OLX has always had poor UX, mediocre webpage design that is awful in navigation. Their app is poor.

Getting to place adds is also difficult as their program takes more time to recognize and approve items. Email response is also very poor with no real feeling of connection between buyer and seller.

JiJI on the other hand has a master class app and easy to use user experience. There’s chat button for prospective buyers to chat up sellers and a one-touch virtual button to call the seller right from the advert page.

Putting your product online on the platform is easy and staff of JiJI routinely ask their clients about the atttitude and conduct of sellers via email.

It is no suprise why you hardly scroll through the pages on JiJIi without bumping into sponsored ads.

Stop shooting off radar all because you want to let us know thag you know the meaning of UX, there is no difference between jiji and olx. The major factor that killed olx is the bad reputation it has of been a fraudsters den

sisisioge:
Every business has it's own strategy. All these you summarized would have translated into the much needed profit if the outlined were well utilized. Besides, anything online that opens door to millions of individual sellers without absolute control of their conducts and wears ( eg Jumia) is bound to have a huge infiltration of fraudulent beings. That's what I think killed it. Their kind of website requires a high level of confidence and goodwill to thrive but it is absolutely lacking of these two essential elements. God's speed to them, I hope Jiji is learning. We don't wanna lose you too.

By the way, don't compare OLX and NL, they offer absolutely two different businesses. If all NL does too is strictly online commercials, Seun would have grayed out by now.

You gave a balanced view of the situation. This sam issue of credibility you raised killed fansbox18.com. Some people don't know that Nigerians are weary of fraudsters

222Martins:
I saw this coming and many more online startups are struggling to stay afloat. Please to the young entrepreneurs out there, I have an advice for you: Profits sustains business, not hype or noise. Profit in business is success, but unfortunately, the media tends to deceive a lot of people.

- Being the biggest, is not profit.
- Receive an award, is not profit.
- Being everywhere and spending millions in ads is not profit
- Raising $1million is not profit
- Signing up 1 million users in an hour is not profit
- Having 10million followers on FB or Twitter is not profit
- Rushing to establish presence in 40 countries is not profit

Nothing beats growing organically. If you need a proof to the above points, just look at Nairaland.com.
Experience in business have taught me not to be moved by vanity metrics. Just show me the money.

I agree with you but not absolutely
