There's really nothing new here, and NO you can't just decide its Africas largest till it's launched and proves itself to be so. There are 310 payment apps in the world and 157 in subsaharan Africa alone, it's a very very crowded space, where all apps do or can easily do the same things as each other.
He has to come in with something totally different and innovative that others can't easily copy (scan to pay and chatting are not it), so some amazing social media campaigns.
Having said that, he's proven himself in another crowded space before, so good luck to him!!

I didn't read all the posts, but one thing I must say, UK is not easy.
However if you have a plan, take time to up skill and pay your dues, you'll end up smiling.
Make no mistake, it'll take time, a couple of years, but eventually you'll get there.
If you're lucky and come prepared with the right experience and attitude, it could take a lot less time.

Many Nigerians are doing great in tech, and these salaries you see here are real and many Nigerians are earning like this:

@op , loads of good advice, but no clear cut answer.

Like I tell most people, there's really no clear cut path to success out in the West. Everybody has a different story. You could do the same courses/certifications, and have similar work experiences, one person gets an excellent job, and the other is stuck with menial jobs for years. So just take all the advice you can, pray to your God (or gods) and head out.

Two things I should highlight that are pretty important though: empower your wife to work, and second, don't cut off all ties in Nigeria.

20 billion to 400 million , on what?

CFA shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with any other qualification there

America has the 13th largest crude oil reserves, just after Nigeria, and its also the 3rd largest producer of crude oil.

Then again they also produce massive amounts of coal, copper, lead, molybdenum, phosphates, uranium, bauxite, gold, iron, mercury, nickel, potash, silver, tungsten, zinc, natural gas and timber. Not to talk of producing most of the world's corn, meat, cotton, soybeans, tobacco, and wheat

, are you having a laugh?

I'll be in Nigeria sometime between the end of November and probably till early January. So do check out the website and give us a shout if you need amazing wedding photography and beautiful Italian hand made wedding flush mount story books.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives
Mel Gibson in Braveheart

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And you will know my name is the Lord
Samuel Jackson in Pulp fiction

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Quick question here:

Can anyone give me an idea of how much it costs to hire a 40ft flatbed truck to carry goods from Lagos to Port harcourt.
I just need an average price range, as well as how many days the journey takes.

Note: I just need this for certain clarification purposes, I'm not looking to invest or anything.
Thanks guys

Something wrong with this whole story. I really don't see why 21 year old adult (with the posters support), can't leave her mums house and go sort herself out considering she's making £900 month.

, and @ some other posters, there are loads of cleaning and security companies that will employ students visa holders, and give them as many hours as they like.

Here it is again: advice on men by a woman. Not having a go at the poster, but its funny how in men's mgazines its a woman giving advice on pleasing women, and in women's magazines its also women giving advice on pleasing men , duhh

Anyway, in the wise words of Dave Chapelle, there are only four ways to plese a man:

"suck his dick, play with his balls, fix him some food and don't talk too much"

, shakes his head as he wonders why anyone would want to marry a virgin

dem go hear am oooo , no more playstation

I really don't recall how I ended up in this section, but after looking at some of the images posted here, and after seeing websites like this:

http://www.philippesalomon.com/, I wonder if you are all in the same profession,

don't mean to offend, but still ,

for one, it stains my shirts

@furacao , slight error there: 'it doesnt appear' , Jamaicans in the UK are VERY different from the ones in the US. The ones here in UK, 'gererally speaking' are a waste of space. Of course there will be exceptions.

P.diddy is a show man , buying $300,000 cars for your kid, is pretty much in line with being a showman. Also, he's probaly grooming his kid to be a showman too, and thats all good as well.

Further 'my super sweet sixteen' is all aout rich parents trying to outdo each other, so its all really no big deal.

oh, and for some poster who a while back said that paris Hilton is talentless , you try being that famous for doing entirely nothing let me see.

How come Akingbola is in the Uk in the first place? , I thought all the said bank chiefs were under arrest in Nigeria?
