In life, we may find ourselves facing unexpected challenges and experiencing moments of deep struggle. For some, these challenges manifest in forms such as falling prey to the schemes of online scammers. The rise of online scams has become a prevalent threat, leaving many individuals feeling vulnerable and victimized. These scammers have dragged some reputable companies into the mud. Amid the despair caused by these deceitful practices, there lies an opportunity for resilience and empowerment. It's important to acknowledge that the impact of online scams extends beyond individuals—it tarnishes the reputation and integrity of businesses, undermining the trust they've worked hard to build.

We must not succumb to despair. Instead, we must unite in our efforts to combat online scams, protect ourselves and our communities, and rebuild trust in the digital landscape. By raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and advocating for stricter regulations and enforcement measures, we can work towards creating a safer and more secure online environment for all.

As we enter the dawn of a brand new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on our aspirations and set ambitious goals for the months ahead. Before diving into the future, let's take a moment to reflect on the past year. What were the highs and lows? What lessons did you learn? Reflecting on your experiences can provide valuable insights to help you set realistic and achievable goals for the coming year. A clear and concise understanding of your priorities can set the stage for your goal setting in 2024. Identifying what is important for achieving your goals should be at the top of your list. Whether it's career growth or personal development, clarity on your priorities should be your guide.

Success is often a journey, not a destination. Developing a roadmap outlines the steps you need to take to achieve your resolutions. You can track your progress along the way by breaking down your goals into manageable tasks and setting milestones. Life is unpredictable, and plans may change. While setting ambitious goals is commendable, let’s be open to adapting your resolutions based on evolving circumstances. Lastly, success is a series of small wins. When you celebrate your achievements, no matter how minor, it serves as motivation, reinforcing your commitment to success.

As we continue 2024, let's set the tone for a year of achievement and fulfilment. Share your New Year's resolutions, thoughts, and tips in the comments below, and let's inspire each other to reach new heights.

Beyond the thrill of competition, sports play a crucial role in fostering character, discipline, and resilience among our young ones.

It's quite sad to keep seeing people being involved in fraudulent activities, especially young ones. It is always mainly because people just want to get rich quickly; this is the root of many of our problems. Most people just want easy money to spend, and most businesses involve easy, hard work. The QNET in question involves direct selling, and direct selling, as I know it from other companies in the market, involves serious hard work. Although it has a flexible work schedule, it still involves a lot of work hours and dedication. Distributors must work hard to build their network and develop their sales and marketing skills to help with the required product sales to earn and maintain strong customer relationships. It's a lot harder than these fraudsters make it seem

Everly14:


I investigated the situation, and the young man admitted to being involved with QNET. He's engaged in fraudulent activities. I confronted him earlier today. It's unsettling to think about how many people might have been deceived by them.

In today's business world, entrepreneurs are constantly seeking ways to get funding for businesses, and investors are looking for startups or companies to invest in to generate returns. There are a host of options available to both groups.

For entrepreneurs, traditional options include bank loans, where you can approach financial institutions for capital based on your business plan and creditworthiness. Venture capital firms are another option, providing funding in exchange for equity or ownership in your company.

Investors, on the other hand, have the option of becoming Angel investors. These individuals invest their money into promising startups in exchange for a stake in the business. Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and BetterWorld allow you to raise funds from many individuals who believe in your vision. Government grants and business incubators can also provide financial support and resources for specific industries or startups.

So, research and evaluate each option to find the one that best aligns with your business needs.

If you want to expand your professional horizons and have a great time, watch for corporate events in Nigeria. They're sure to leave you inspired and motivated for your business endeavours. At these events, you meet many entrepreneurs, business startups, and business and tech moguls; being surrounded by these in one venue offers a fantastic platform for sharing knowledge, exploring innovative ideas, and forging valuable connections.

Nigeria's vibrant and dynamic economy is a hotspot for exciting corporate events that bring professionals together. From conferences and seminars to workshops and networking sessions, there's always something happening to foster collaboration and growth. So watch out for these events and build connections if entrepreneurship is your thing.

We no dey ever carry last!

Hausa gnut
Fried yam
Fried potato
Peanut ball
Chin chin(sachet)
Gala(branded sausage)

Abegi Nigerians are trying in this regard.

I think we underestimate how our street food has been saving lives, especially during SAPA. With as low as 200 naira, you can be sure you can get something to eat. Ranging from
Suya
Puff puff
Akara
Moi moi
Boli
Roasted corn
Egg bons, meat pie, etc.

Even foreigners who visit Nigeria know of these foods and enjoy them. Not everytime Pizza and Sharwarma, lol.

Like I said my guy, contact them directly to find out more. Just visit their page.

If its direct selling whats 600k for

I believe that QNET is legit, I have seen some other posts on this forum mentioning that it is a direct selling business, and it's not the same as MLM. You should find out more sha by visiting their page and contacting them directly.

Dangrace01:
I went somewhere and met a cousin of mine who paid 600k for quest international company.

Please its qnet legit cos I know it's a mlm scam but I want to confirm

I just came across something that surprised and impressed me at the same time. I'm not sure many people know that QNET has a long history of engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities worldwide through its CSR arm, the RYTHM Foundation (which stands for ‘Raise Yourself to Help Mankind’), to promote sustainable development. The company advocates the need to work towards a goal beyond financial success. They believe that money is just a by-product when people work towards driving lasting change in their lives.

Did you also know that the company works closely with the RYTHM Foundation on several projects in developing countries like Nigeria to make a difference in local communities and work towards sustainable change?

As part of its CSR, the company launched FinGreen, its signature financial literacy programme in Nigeria. It aims to develop healthy financial habits through education and training in the most vulnerable communities, especially among women, young adults, and aspiring entrepreneurs. FinGreen aligns with the United Nations SDGs and the Addis Ababa Agenda to provide adequate skills and developmental training for all, particularly youth, women, and aspiring entrepreneurs.

The company also partnered with Transblue to donate products to 2 different orphanages last year in Lagos. CSR is part of the critical principles of QNET, enabling the company to reach out to vulnerable individuals in society.

This is good, and it clearly addresses the news that they offer fake jobs as we have seen on this NL

Haleemahummar:
I just saw the news about them on the Instagram page of a news outlet. Can you believe it?

Is there any proof that QNET is the biggest scamming platform in Africa, as you said? If there isn’t, you’re just talking based on hearsay, and that isn’t right. What you described here is a recruitment company, and QNET does not offer employment; some posts on this platform have explained they only offer business opportunities for entrepreneurs. Find more about them before making conclusions.

NONNYG:
Qnet is the biggest scamming platform in Africa.

When they succeed in scamming you, they will ask you to introduce your relatives or anyone very close to you

Do you guys know that some people in network marketing may engage in unethical practices, making some companies an easy target for badmouthing like this? QNET has always complied with local regulations in any country it has operated in, paid taxes, contributed to numerous philanthropic activities, and reinvested in the country. Instead of badmouthing a company that wasn’t even referred to in the post, find out who they are first; you can find out more on this site www.qnet.net.

NickD:

It's a scam, I'm sure it's those amezcua qnet criminals. Better run. They also contacted a colleague of mine last week asking him to send NIN, Passport and to keep 550k for documentations like holding number, international work permit and other stuff...interview is to be held in Port Harcourt somewhere in Eleme. They're scammers and stay away from that in law of yours. He is not a good person

I enjoy reading on social media about the changes people claim to be willing to undertake differently from last year. Well, this is alright. We all need reset buttons that will whip us to sanity.

I am curious to know how realistic these resolutions are because I’ve never had any. I have also made resolutions for myself this year to satisfy my curiosity.

1. Exercise daily.
2. Reduce my screen time to the bare minimum.
3. Eat healthy
4. Say NO to procrastination.
5. Maintain a fixed sleep schedule.
6. Read a lot.

I will be able to tell whether or not it’s an effective mechanism come the end of the year. I will keep you posted on my progress.

Happy New Year, guys. Cheers to a more fulfilling 2023!

A trending assumption these days is the availability of Direct selling “job” opportunities. Even though Direct selling companies may have vacancies in specific departments, “direct selling” is not a job. It is simply a sales channel companies use to promote their products away from a physical retail location.

Like many other industries, the industry is guided by specific rules and regulations that every organisation must follow in its business operations. For example, the World Federation of Direct Selling Association (WFDSA) has a Code of Ethics that sets standards for members on many relevant topics, including recruiting practices, products and service guarantees, sale and return of product inventory and earnings claims. They also have the authority to enforce the rules with remedies from fines to suspension from the national Direct Selling Association (DSA) membership.

Contrary to most posts I have read here, one of the most compliant direct-selling brands I know operating in the Nigerian market is QNET.
I was invited to a seminar by a friend last weekend. I thought it would be one of those talk shops people usually will organise. To my amazement, it was a great network of young professionals who were being trained about the “red lines” of QNET and the direct selling module. They addressed integrity, honesty, transparency and interpersonal relations as key to successful and trustworthy Independent Representatives.

As a leader in the industry, I realised that such initiatives are all to have stakeholders adhere to all regulations of the practice as expected by regulators. The WFDSA encourages member companies to provide adequate training to enable independent salespeople to operate ethically.

Additionally, the company has developed an organisational code of ethics as part of its corporate policies to ensure that all Independent Representatives (IRs) it network mandatorily uphold these principles in all their dealings and activities.
Do not be deceived into believing that direct selling involves you introducing your close family and friends to a business away from home for any fee.

QNET officially marked its launch in Nigeria earlier this year in April. During the event, QNET announced a major partnership with Transblue Limited, a customer service logistics company. This partnership has in effect made Transblue QNET’s lead market partner in Nigeria. Important newspaper outlets like The Vanguard, This Day, and others covered the event and published the story. So yes, the company is legally operating in the country.

Based on what I’ve noticed from their activities since April, especially from their Financial literacy initiative, FinGreen, it is clear that QNET in partnership with Transblue has brought its global experience to Nigeria with the intent to boost entrepreneurship in Nigeria through a well-established international e-commerce and Direct Selling ecosystem.

Apart from Transblue, QNET also partnered with Financial Literacy For All (FLFA), a Nigerian based non-governmental organization, committed to economic empowerment and poverty eradication through financial information dissemination and economic education. FLFA is the major channel through which young people were enlisted to be a part of the FinGreen initiative.

QNET has also equipped People Living With Disabilities (PLWD) with essential learning skills through Sports education in the country. They provided the foundation with school materials such as uniforms, educational materials, and learning accessories to ease their financial burden. This was also covered by important media outlets in the country.

All these show that currently, QNET is operating in the country, and all their operations so far have been legal.

Direct Selling business sectors have grown rapidly over the last few years, lifting millions of Nigerians and Africans out of poverty. The entry of QNET in Nigeria is in line with the government of Nigeria’s vision to partner with the private sector to effectively achieve the desired economic recovery and transformative growth.
