Politicians. They are all the same. Imagine him being afraid when it comes to civil servants, yet he isn't afraid when it involves NASS members. 😁😁😁

A word of prayer for someone who openly lied and forge her WAEC result. This is the same person they are showcasing to Nigerians as if she did something amazing. Na WA.

PsaRips. One of the best download sites currently

what's the full website?

Plain and simple. I believe if more people are detained for spreading fake news and the likes, may be, just may be, Nigerians might learn you just can't use your mouth and say things you can't prove.

Weekend Movie

- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

Wasn't planning to watch this initially. But then I saw it on PSA and just felt this urge. Decent audience scores helped sway me too.

PSA?

DissTroy:
There are. Many. Countless.

But if your business involves you moving money/monies in large amounts and everyday sales (even in small amount but in several quantities), you are already a target or magnet for money launders or persons with underhanded financial dealings.

That's why I'd likely quickly get investors sending me response mails if I'm pushing a fintech product than if I'm pushing cleantech, EdTech, or healthtech products, even though the later show better prospective in the long run.

And your first investor - the angel investor - is likely a loan shark who thinks he has a hold on you because he dared to take the risk investing in you first. And he's sort of right.

Opay got a $424+ million funding based on a $2+ billion valuation. As at 2021 when they raised, if you used Opay where the transactions were free, how were they able to get that kind of valuation when it wasn't that profitable obviously?

Simple: So they could raise the $424+ million they got and the investors in previous rounds could cash out by selling their stake or equity. And to do that you have to tamper with the financial records. Replace Opay with Patricia, PayDay, Float... And so it goes.

But Opay is backed by the CBN so what they might have done isn't illegal technically.

does it include hotels, restaurants and the likes? Because most, if not all business have to do with profit making, and in making profit, you have to buy something or sell something, that is, apart from if your business is rendering of service.

I recently got whim of how some NGOs are used to launder money in huge amounts, despite them not being profit oriented.

DissTroy:
All I'd tell founders and would-be founders from what I've learnt studying the ecosystem is, be careful who funds you first. It sets the template for how the business would turn out.

You'd sign away rights and give in-roads to falsify bank statements and valuations so the angel investors can cashout big time during the next fund-raising round.

The VCs who helped Float raise the $17 million knew it was cooking the books 'cause VCs have a right to see your financials. I dare add, the angel investors helped them cook the books.

Even nobler, more upright VCs like Y Combinator make you sign away rights hidden in VC jargon which means they determine how your business is structured and you must bend to their terms. And it's hidden in plain sight on the "About" page of their website.

These VCs are mostly polished loan sharks.

Even Flutterwave's $3.1 billion valuation in January 2021 most likely was bloated. In fact, it was. They got fined a year later in the U.S.

You read of companies valued at $500 million and the financials don't add up. There's a strict formulae for calculating valuation but these guys just ditch it for greed.

PayDay, Patricia... Their valuation got inflated deliberately, and the angel investors cashed out big time.

Subsaharan Africa Fintech space is like the reality TV adaptation of the "Wolf of Wall Street" movie.

in simpler terms, there is hardly any business in Nigeria that isn't shrouded in fraud?

Im not surprise the truck is owned by Gasland. Like most, if not all Nigerian companies, they only care about profit and nothing else.

One should even test the truck driver, to know if he was high on kain kain, or if he is blind, because he can't tell us he didn't see the barrier, or know why the barrier was installed there.

Kudos to Lagos state fire service for doing the needful. 👌

I'm talking about the 1st King Fritz. The one from 2000 years ago that enslaved the Founder Ymir

The one that made the vow renouncing war is the 145th king Karl Fritz

Annie was raised and trained by her father and Marley to be a killer and not care about anything or anyone else ...

Eventually she got to care only for her father because she sought parental love...that's why I don't blame her

I believe she has started feeling remorse

Which manga is this?

Here we go again with the 'you must spend money on women directly or indirectly' mantra. I find that many men who support this here pay for sex(hookers, oloshos or whatever) and you use that justification to overgeneralize and I don't agree with that. Me no dey pay for sex. You may and I'm not fighting with you, it's your money but don't force that fallacy down my throat biko because I no go ever gree.

Let's even ask you how it's a fallacy in the first place?

He got all this property on government pay?

Seriously, his asset should be probed to ascertain how he came about this property when it was obvious he was a civil servant.

We allow too many nonsense in this country.

Simple, the uneducated woman knows her place.

Warnings: Don't Trade or Cross Lagos Blue Line Rail Use Overhead Brigde or Train Stations

God Bless Lagos State
God Bless Yorubaland
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

they should not waste their time putting up earning sign, they should just barricade the place, simple. Many nigerians don't listen. Even as warning signs of being electrocuted is boldly written, some people will still cross it or trade near it.

I am now starting to believe government is becoming disillusion from reality, seeing the amount of useless policies they come up with.

They think every Nigerian is on social media? They should make a visit to the rural areas and see for themselves that some people don't even have BVN, talkless of NIN or evening having telecomm cell site to even make calls.

DissTroy:
Maybe. But the West isn't the reason why Ogoni boys, for example, cordoned off the Eket-Ikot Abasi - Ogoni - Eleme federal road when Goodluck began reconstruction, asking for "matching ground" and harassing CCC workers. (No, this is not an attack on them but a reference which can be easily verified.)

The Rivers State part of that road is still an eyesore a decade later. Lives and properties are being lost on alternate days due to the bad condition of the road.

The West isn't the reason why railway rails are removed and sold.

The West isn't the reason why every little provision like streetlights, electric power lines and others get vandalised and sold off for peanuts by the citizenry.

The West isn't the reason why Nigerian remote skilled service providers or workers have to surmount higher accountability hurdles than the rest of the world because our compatriots celebrate fraud as "Yahoo" or "Gee" and my nationality already sends caution bells ringing to leads, until I prove myself repeatedly otherwise.

our country not only celebrate fraud and those who engage in it, it glorifies it.

musicwriter:
I never said the PDP was perfect.

But despite their imperfections, the Naira didn't take a nosedive as we have it today. Price of goods remained relatively stable throughout their days. Things were definitely better under the PDP and if you can't see it in the constant changing price of goods and services these days, then you're not living in Nigeria.

The Naira taking a nose dive is something that is inevitable. The price of goods and services is always bound to increase, given that our economy is a dependant one and all our leaders lack vision.

I tell you this, no matter who is president or which party is at the helm of affairs, Nigeria would still have turned out worse because the simplest things we are suppose to do, we don't even do it.

musicwriter:
Any honest Nigerian by now can testify that the PDP (despite all their shortcomings) was a better party.

The difference is clear.

I seriously doubt it, many of the short comings Nigeria is facing now started during the era of the PDP, and the party did absolutely nothing to prevent it. Beside, i want to ask how did the PDP leave a $550 billion economy when poverty and strife was rife?

But I put a disclaimer there na
I said it felt like watching an Animé.

I think the concept worked well with the tone.

I didn't notice the disclaimer. The movie is god damn annoying, with that foolish Akira shouting and being more foolish than the entire plot of the movie.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter.

Absolutely marvelous. I enjoyed every bit if it. If there's a sequel, I can't wait for it. 👌
