ETHICALLYrlght:
The flutterwave chronicle is the biggest exposé of the Nigerian Fintech space that is saturated with founders whose backgrounds and antecedence do not corroborate their sudden success narratives.

If you didn't read David Hundeyin's publication, my summary is as follows:

1. The villain of the story was an influential Access Bank staff who used Access Bank's name and identity to secure investment for his flutterwave startup.
Moral Lesson: I do not blame entrepreneurs like Dangote who hire many Indian professionals in management.

2. The same villain reneged on his agreement with one of the foremost employees and executive of the firm regarding an important oral shareholding agreement.
Moral Lesson: Always write down and sign every agreement even with family.

3. The same villain employed the counsel who was holding brief for the aggrieved ex-employee at the National Industrial Court. The counsel abandoned the claimant and represented the defendant.
Moral Lesson: The Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners in Nigeria prohibits a counsel from representing an opponent in a particular case. There are no rules when money is involved in Nigeria.

4. The same villain sexually abused another employed victim for years and proceeded to influence her new employer after she left flutterwave.
Moral Lesson: We should support our girls, sisters, daughters and nieces! They are endangered even in the most formal and literate spaces in this country .

5. The same villain sells stocks valued at $20 for less than $4 behind closed doors.
Moral Lesson: You're a sheep if you still think that forces of demand and supply determine prices at the stock exchange and money market. Prices are controlled by mafias.

I hope one day we'll comprehend how young men whose start-ups have less than half-a-million apps download on both APPLE Store and Google Play Store were able to dash Big Brother Naija 2billion Naira as headline sponsors

Wow! just saw that the had 50,000+ downloads on Playstore, less that 100k. What's the hype around this company all about?

socialmediaman:
I know this story is probably way more complicated than what was posted here.

If a written agreement exists with these alleged terms included, then the surrogate has a case, but still, it may be case of the US couple having their baby and paying compensation to the surrogate for reneging on parts of the agreement. Also, considering that the US couple don't have the authority to guarantee a US visa, that portion of the agreement may be invalid already. It's like promising to make someone President of Nigeria if they donate to your charity. Your money is gone, bro.

If there was no written agreement, then the case becomes even more complicated. But the fact that she admits there was a surrogacy agreement and she accepted 600K from the couple means there was actually a surrogacy agreement, and US couple may get the child in the end. The surrogate may even get in trouble for reneging on the agreement with concocted stories. There have been many cases of surrogates changing their minds and refusing to give the baby to the couples

I don't think that is how the law works. If I draw up an agreement/contract with impossible terms, it means I can't enforce such contract, especially if those terms or conditions were impossible to complete from the inception of said contract. Also, in contractual law, an agreement can either be verbal or written.

sisisioge:
The american couples will win....na their babies....there was a contract....were those her "terms" written or just through handshakes.....they must be clearly stated fa. Otherwise, it's her words against their words. The obvious facts are:

1. Complainer was a surrogate
2. She got consideration for the contract
3. Babies are here now
4. She is refusing to hand them over.

She is in obvious breach....the kids are not hers. Highest is she would get some additional compensations but if the couple wants to finish her, she'll be the one paying them despite handing over the babies.

Did you read were they breached the terms of the contract? She is in her right to terminate the contract if the terms agreed upon have not been fulfilled. If this case is tried in any competent court, they are clearly losing.

I don't even think they're fit to be parents.

saphiere:
Oya ooo. Rape apologists come and justify this.

It seems you derive joy from such bad news.

chioma134:


Well, I suppose you're a Christian too. You should be conversant with Jesus' words when he told the crowd that came to stone the adulterous woman that "he that is without sin should cast the first stone." I'm no angel, I admit my faults. However, those lustful feelings I talked about are much more common than you think. You cannot prevent a bird from perching, but you can prevent it from building a nest on your head. Even you are not exempted if you are honest enough to admit it, except you're a eunuch.

Also, I have received forgiveness and there is now no condemnation for me in Christ Jesus. Therefore, I refuse to allow your "stone" to hit me. And I hope you have removed the log in your own eyes before coming to remove the speck in mine.

All the same, I kept his contact because we still work for the same organisation, and communication lines should be kept open.

Shalom

The correct expression should be "You cannot keep birds from flying over you head but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair".
I think what he's trying to say is that you've not fully shut that door. A part of you still craves his attention and companionship so you've left the door slightly ajar. If he can get a foot in the door, possible he can let himself in.

Also, I think you made a joke of your husband by telling your colleague how he felt about the frequency of the calls and still making a decision to continue after your return. The whole romance only turned sour by happenstance (or God's grace, if you could call it that) because you had no plan of pumping the brakes.

Difrent:


Really?
So what is used to send and receive enaira?

You clearly don't understand what you are talking about. The central idea behind blockchain is decentralization; eNaira was not designed to be decentralized. I'm guessing it's just an application with an SQL database at the backend, it's is no different from the mobile banking app you use everyday. eNaira is not "sent", values are just being changed in a database somewhere.

Difrent:

What a contrdictory statemet.....is enaira not run on blockchain technology?

No. It is a digital currency. It doesn't use blockchain tech.

The nerve. They'll blame the younger generation that they've impoverished and starved. The thugs that happily do their biddings when the elections come around and the sugar babes that they've enslaved for their selfish desires. They had everything on a platter of gold, yet they messed up. Nigeria could have been the envy of nations but here we are.

They can't own up to their incompetence yet the foist their expectations on the children they've starved.

Lol. This one don broke.
Looking for where to cash out.

Echoban:


Exactly my taught. Fine if FEC refused base on above said condition, what stops Amaechi from looking forward to getting more experienced & convinceable company to FG? Because they rejected the one he brought, abadoning the whole security isn't the way forward.

Hon Minister should be brought forward to tell us what we don't know abeg.

What I'm even surprised is why this didn't follow the normal procurement process? Was it advertised so that credible and competent contractors could submit bids? I'd argue that he should be probed for misconduct but this is Nigeria.

This throws up a lot of red flags.
Why would a contractor incorporated less than 2 years ago, a turnover of less than 100mln and no history of having completed similar projects be awarded a contract to the tune of billions of naira??

There is more to this than he is letting on, this man is a greedy, corrupt pig.

SenatePresdo:


Nice points, but like how much do an average developer earn in Nigeria?

It depends on a lot of things. But generally well established firms/businesses should offer a junior north of 150k base salary, some may offer more.

Facebook is just controversy over controversy, a name change alone can't help them.

EvilSec:
Sometimes I think about quitting my job for no reason other than I'm curious if I could make it in another industry. Working in tech doesn't feel like being successful, it feels like the final stage of a stock market bubble where everyone is convinced they're Warren Buffet.
Would like to know if you guys can you survive if you stopped working in tech?

The truth is that many of these "tech" businesses aren't going to be around for the next decade. I feel it is a bubble, those that will survive are the ones with strong fundamentals. How do I know? Many of them don't turn a profit but continually depend on seed funding from investors who are afraid of missing out on the next [insert tech company name], that is not sustainable.

You can survive in other industries, although the salary might not be as generous as in tech.

Sure

What was most irritating was the clueless fvcks rationalizing his assault.
Like what was he protecting his wife from, has any one really watched G. I. Jane?
The guy be doing the most, they're clearly an insecure couple.

It's painful seeing so much suffering rife in this world.
God has called him to rest, his reward awaits him.

@HandsomeGuyman I think some of these pictures are too private to be up here. Nobody would want to be remembered like this.
Let's remember him at his best.

The law only applies to the common man.
I guess she's common in this case.

God forgive me last week I saw an advance man hawking catapults on the way in the hot sun I began to wonder apart from birds do they use catapults to kill bush meats too?


Is better I start begging on the road side than be doing such a business that he sure me say for a whole year na only 2 catapult he feel sell.

If I ever see the guy again am going to buy all the catapult with 100k and burn them right in is presence . Forget hunger this business at Present 2022 no normal rara

This is confirmation bias.
The man wouldn't be hawking catapults if there's no profit in it. He has his customers, you just don't know it.

A lot of employees go through shit just to earn a living. I've seen how people are treated in some orgs and it scares me.
Some of these business owners are arrogant sociopaths, but then again, some employees can be lazy and take undue advantage.

Why don't people learn.

These guys come well-dressed in their expensive cars and living lavishly just to impress the gullible. You pick your hard-earned money and throw at them to continue fuelling their lifestyle. It all ends with a spectacular story about how the government or enemies are witch-hunting them because of the "so much good" they've been doing. Then everything crumbles, and they blame everyone except themselves.

Is he related to the infamous Bogdanoff Twins?

What about love letter ?
My mumsy saw my love letter back in primary school . I was coming back from play when my playmate and nephew who didn’t come to play , told me that my mum showed my dad a letter I wrote . I was in primary 4 then . Immediately I turned back and headed to my maternal side . I didn’t go my paternal house because of that till I’m done with primary school . I had to live with my maternal grandma .. May her soul Rest In Peace .

Another was during my JSS1 , I gave my guy the love letter to hide for me , his Aunty saw it and threatened to report me to my mother .

Luckily it happened in my maternal side . So she didn’t see my mum to tell her. She came and saw my grandma and turned back .

Them do you with love letter?

Stargurl20:
I'm not saying been bad to people in general but u know the good gurl of a thing, right? Is there really any gain in that? Coz to the best of my knowledge, the so called bad gurls are excelling far better in all ramifications than good gurls. Even guys will choose the over the gurls any time.

Well, you'll have to live with that for the rest of your life.

Their desperation reeks from miles away.

The seeds of doubt and uncertainty have already been sown.The sanctions against Russia has shown the world that the west will not hesitate to strong-arm you to their bidding.

Ojemedad:
He is a business man, in 1995 Putin wasn't the president then.

Most of these happened during Boris Yeltin. Ibrahamovic and Boris Berezovsky were part of his inner circle. They got state assets for cheap and became billionaires overnight. All these was corroborated by Ibrahamovic himself when Boris sued him after fleeing Putin in the UK.

pansophist:
Asked me to book for uber while coming, I did. While at the venue, ate so much and ordered take away, i paid, then asked for a uber ride back home to the island, i paid again. Another meet up, asked me to book uber again, while choosing an expensive location which I'll pay of course.

Mehn, I ghost her instantly. I can't be spending more than the minimum wage per date, I no be thief na. Watching as debit sms keeps entering my phone almost gave me heart attack. I don't like that feeling.

Lol. It's the heart attack part for me.

Atimjessy:
He kept over-pricing everything like a stingy man.

The right term would be "haggling".

AfroKnight:
This reminds me of those days when I used to drink in street bars.

I actually saw a mature man bring his little boy (4 years old or so) to the bar, then he ordered beer and allowed the boy to drink until he slept. This was a mature man, looking responsible. I couldn’t help staring. Our eye jam. Me, I carry my eye comot and face my beer.

That boy might grow up to win drinking competition in future sha. Practice makes perfect.

That is immoral parenting and child abuse. Why would the bartender even allow that?

If it looks too good to be true...
