Politics › Chinese Restaurant in Africa Does Not allow Black Customers After 5pm (Video) by NaLaugh(op): 11:23pm On Mar 25, 2015*

Recently, there was a post on the front page about Chinese restaurants in Abuja.

Here is a report of a Chinese restaurant in Kenya which does not let in black customers after 5pm.

That is insane!

In my opinion, businesses with policies as this should be promptly sanctioned, and put out of operation.

1k001:
Yeah it's pretty easy to find what my startup, thanks for not revealing. I'll deny it anyway, I want to keep this independent of it so i can say speak freely.

Nigerians are crazy indeed, i've got a few stories coming up! Running a team in Nigeria remotely is difficult!

Regarding your advise of limiting to a location, we started out broad and being for everyone and everywhere but it's difficult to get any kind of traction. The reason is when you're for everyone and everywhere you're for noone and nowhere. All the start up greats like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel will tell you to look for a niche and own it before you expand. So define a segment of the market and a defined location.

Examples of this in current succeses:
Facebook - Limited to Havard initially then, one university after another
Paypal - Focused on power sellers on ebay
Air bnb - started in san fransisco targetting conference goers, incredibly small niche but now are all over the world

It's counter-intuitive but it works. We have tested this ourselves. When we tried to be everything for everyone we couldn't get any users. Now we've narrowed to a particular location and sub niche and we're seeing results already.

So to all entrepreneurs, resist the urge to be everything for everybody. Start small and do things that don't scale. Read Paul graham here:
http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

Perhaps you have interpreted the advise a little differently.
The point was to go ahead with your niche, but do not lose sight of the fact that a potential for expansion exists.
To this end, you need to look far ahead, and identify some of the things which might hinder a smooth and organic expansion.

These things could be manner of branding etc
If Facebook (which started as Thefacebook) had started as Harvardbook or Collegebook, it would have had to rebrand at multiple stages in its growth.
If Airbnb started as Calibnb.. well, you get the point.

So, to reiterate; Go after a niche (regardless of the market), but keep the big picture in sight when making strategic decisions.

Keep at it.

I'm pretty positive i know what your startup is, and what it does (or intends to), but i'll leave you to elaborate, when you feel like it.

Being an entrepreneur is an entirely different beast. There is one ingredient that an entrepreneur MUST possess, ..passion.

If you do not completely believe in what you're doing, don't do it.
If people tell you, it's a crazy idea, well, then embrace the role of the "mad scientist."

As someone who has invested significant amounts of time, energy and cash (sometimes to my detriment) into business, i can tell you, it ain't easy.
Then again, no one said it was going to be.

One of my biggest challenge is managing businesses (with physical locations and employees - some from Nairaland

) in Nigeria while living elsewhere. Nigerians can be a little crazy, to say the least wink

I currently also have a tech startup in the works, and i've been pushing it's launch forward every month, for some months now.
However, It is all ready to go, so any day now.

Once I get this particular project underway, I'll be shifting my focus back on my local market (U.S).
The Nigerian market is going through a very interesting curve, and is an ideal time to harness it. However, sometimes we focus a little too much on the niche market (Nigeria), and lose sight of the bigger picture.

My advise to you at this stage is not to limit the scalability of your solution to the Nigerian market.
Make it in a manner where you can gradually open it up to the rest of the world without necessarily recreating a different product.

Good luck!

Yeah, they do it in the hopes they reach people who have accounts with the said bank, and aren't cautious enough to recognize a phishing email.

Her body type is curvy. No matter what she wears, even if the skirt is more loose, her behind will always stand out. However, due to being a teacher in America, my first choice of work attire wouldn't be this skirt.

In my final semester in college (Mass), i had a math class by some ultra-hot Palestinian milf who had the body of Kim K, but with double the hip and booty proportions (no exaggeration).

In EVERY class, she wore the tightest freakin pants and skirts. Let's just say the 3 hour math class felt like 3 minutes to all the guys, as her pendulum sway left us in a constant trans. cheesy

Sometimes now, when i drive by the University, i wonder if i should randomly crash her class, ..for old time sake cool

Business › Zenith Bank Phishing Scam Email by NaLaugh(op): 7:30am On Mar 06, 2015

I have a few bank accounts in Nigeria, and once in a while i receive emails from thieves posing as one of these banks.
This is a common phishing attempt by scam artists to obtain personal info and financial information.

This is a screenshot of one i've been receiving over the past few days.

For those less cautious about phishing, never provide personal information through a link in an email.
Of course, the links in these emails all direct to some bogus page.

As a matter of fact, police brutality is one of the hot topic issues in the US right now.
My city, and many other cities are contemplating body cameras on all cops as a requirement.
This is a direct reaction to so many incidents of cops using unwarranted force, and brutality on citizens.
Many innocent people have died in these incidents, and everyone's tired of it.
