Kingsmeal:
Kagame decided to Weaken his Own Military, at the expense of Rwanda rather than leave Office - this is the Kagame that Nigerian Governors just traveled several Miles to go and learn "How to run Govts from!"

After 23 years in office and claiming to have to turned Rwanda into Paris and Dubai, he is unable to leave Office for the things he has started to be passed on to the next generation...

One quote I learnt from a movie that sticks to this day " You either die a hero Or live enough to see yourself become the villain".

He has done good for Rwanda, and should have left when the ovation was loudest. But you now wonder what is it with Africa and sit tight leaders.

Business / Re: Jumia Shares Drop 17% After Q2 Results, Investors React Negatively by Geeman2006: 3:50pm On Aug 18, 2023
gabicon:


There are a lot of assumptions that were made which turned out to be false. Firstly, you come into the Nigerian market thinking you have a 200 million people market when in actual sense you are a 20 million market.

Secondly, e-commerce is not a an order business, its a reorder business so of the actual sense they had less than 5 million potential customers who will reorder products from them on a regular.

Thirdly, there was the problem of not selling things for the price they are worth, just to entice customers, that alone is a finance hemorrhage.

Fourthly, management issues, the former owners owned the property their head office in Dubai was and charged exorbitant rent to the company. The cost of renting their warehouses in 5 years could build ultramodern warehouses for them. Of course Nigerians are not blind, they too want to take advantage of the system, they cut deals with landlords inflating prices of facilities to as high as 400%. As usual they are used as scapegoats.

Fifthly, the logistics nightmare of moving goods in Nigeria is a big barrier to profitability of the company.


My experience why I STOPPED patronising them.

6. They and their retailers started selling a lot of fake products and passing it off as Original. They still charge you exorbitantly for the fake/substandard item. The annoying part is you can't even leave a review of a product on their site. It was possible in the past but last year i tried leaving a review on numerous items and it did not work.. I think this was a deliberate attempt to prevent bad ratings and reviews on products for obvious reasons.

7. Most of their products seem to be costlier when you compare same items from competitor retail sites.

8. Trying to reach their customer care became rocket science, you will call, mail, whatsapp till thy Kingdom come before you are attended too. It wasn't just worth the stress.

Still patronize their Jumia food arm though, still working fine for me. My two cents though.

Car Talk / To car Dealers & resellers: Speedometer re-calibration by Geeman2006: 12:55pm On May 16, 2023
I like to pay attention to details when buying cars. I do my due diligence to the best of my car knowledge when trying to make a purchase . In addition , my mechanic is also there to inspect the car so i have a second opinion.
After sighting a car I am interested in and at the point of starting negotiations, I get the VIN to check . I have come to notice 9 out 10 times , the speedometer is always adjusted to reflect lower mileage.
In 2021, wanted to buy a camry 2013 with a little over 40,000 km , actually sounded to good to be true at that mileage going for around 6m.
Just to check the vin history and the car has actually done over 300,000 km. The car was actually a taxi in the abroad before being shipped down and repackaged with shiny paint and refurbished interior. I like dealers being straight with me about the history of the cars but only a handful are sincerely honest.
Some cars after checking, you'd realize what some dealers are selling are refurbished caskets. But the reduced mileage has been a more reoccurring incidence than others.
So to Car dealers and resellers in the house , Why the need for re- adjusting a Cars Mileage lower?

Why is comprehension so difficult for some of you. You just block your brain to a particular point of view and leave nothing for objectivity.
Just leave even if its 10% for a little objectivity, you wont die please.
What the hell does that picture portray? Is under age marriage happening in the North? Yes it is. Is it an Exclusive practice to the North? No.

And what happened to Sanusi Lamido recently?

Guy Rest. Don't be ignorant. Cases like this happen till this day in many rural Areas, even in southern Nigeria. Infact , if you do proper research it is not peculiar to Nigeria Alone. Because the North don't control Nigerian media ,most times it is under reported.
Rest again, Sanusi married an 18 year old. You can choose to Believe the media propaganda that says otherwise.

To be fair, Mikel is not really an exciting player like that to be winning APOTY. No goals or assist as a midfielder etc. Yaya scored 24 goals that season.

But make una no worry. Osimhen is here to win us 3 back to back to back APOTY.

True. Guy won much silverware with chelsea, but he's seeming lack of Goals and assist in my opinion made him a boring player. Mourinho killed the real talent in him.

Even though we know Kogi state is full of thieving rogues in power, Mr Agbakoba is right. There is rule of law and way things should be done. It is such high handedness by Govt agencies/Officials that make them always flout judgments and are always in contempt of Court.
Its like saying the FBI will arrest, charge , prosecute, seize and auction items from criminals. You cant be a jack of all trades.

Lets not even start this conversation. This bias in recruitment is going on in Different government agencies. Depending who heads the Agency, Most of the new hires will usually come from the state and region of the head of that Agency.
Almost every government agency/ ministry is guilty of this.
