Business › Re: How Two Childhood Friends Built Zap, Nigeria’s First Non-custodial Exchange by stalyf(m): 1:02am On Mar 25, 2025 |
MemoriesAndMe: What's the website address? Zap.com or zap africa or what?
Whoever promoted them should have said more about the crypto exchange they built to better promote their business ideas and what's obtainable there for investors and Africans in general. Even investors will be wary of supporting their efforts from the pic of them posted. From an unknown blog too.
A little research from deepseek reveals what's posted below. Not everything we hear about on the internet can be trusted anyways, including the blogger promoting zip or zap Africa...Nobody has heard of them before. Starting with a list of angel investors could have made some stories sound ok.
We all know how ICOs promoted themselves and disappeared eventually with people's funds. What has been Zap's YoY return for as long as the business has existed?
I don't even believe any angel investor will work with people looking like this when their own money is of the line. It's one thing to have the skills to build solutions, it's another thing to attract business partners to support with funding and growth, but definitely not looking like this.
Hear what deepseek says
Based on a comprehensive search and analysis, here's the synthesized information about Zap Africa Crypto Exchange:
### **Overview** Zap Africa is a cryptocurrency exchange targeting the African market, aiming to facilitate crypto trading and financial inclusion. However, detailed information is limited, and the exchange appears to be relatively new or low-profile.
### **Key Details**
1. **Website & Domain**: - **Official URL**: The exact domain (e.g., zapafrica.com) could not be verified definitively. Ensure caution to avoid phishing sites. - **Domain Age**: If registered recently, it might indicate a new venture. Use WHOIS checks for registration dates.
2. **Services Offered**: - **Cryptocurrencies**: Likely supports major coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and possibly local tokens. Specific listings unconfirmed. - **Fiat Support**: Potential integration with African fiat currencies (NGN, ZAR, KES) via bank transfers or mobile money (e.g., M-Pesa).
3. **Regulatory Compliance**: - No clear evidence of registration with African regulators like Nigeria’s SEC or South Africa’s FSCA. Users should verify compliance locally.
4. **Security Measures**: - Unconfirmed details on 2FA, cold storage, or audits. Prioritize exchanges with transparent security protocols.
5. **Fees**: - Fee structure undisclosed. Compare with established exchanges (e.g., Luno, Binance) for competitiveness.
6. **User Experience**: - **Reviews**: Limited user feedback found. Check forums (Reddit, Bitcointalk) for firsthand experiences. - **Support**: Unknown channels (live chat, email). Responsiveness is critical for issue resolution.
7. **Partnerships & Credibility**: - No notable partnerships or audits publicly announced. Legitimacy checks are advised.
8. **Regulatory Warnings**: - No official warnings found, but absence of regulatory info warrants caution.
9. **Market Presence**: - Not listed on CoinMarketCap/CoinGecko, suggesting low liquidity or new entry.
### **Recommendations** - **Due Diligence**: Verify the exchange’s URL, SSL certificates, and regulatory status. - **Community Feedback**: Seek recent user reviews on social media and crypto forums. - **Security First**: Use exchanges with proven security measures and avoid storing large funds on new platforms.
### **Conclusion** Zap Africa’s current profile is ambiguous. While it may offer services tailored to African users, the lack of verifiable data on compliance, security, and user trust necessitates caution. Consider alternatives like Luno or Binance Africa for more established options. Always prioritize exchanges with transparent operations and regulatory endorsements.
With the report above and no website provided, how can we all just assume this story about the duo is true?
People do whatever to gain trusts and turn around later The website is zap.africa |

The speed of light has always been a contentious issue for me.
We can't just keep saying it's 3.0 × 10^8, how did they measure it?  The speed of light is something scientists have studied for a long time. They used special machines and clever experiments to figure out how fast light travels. They found out that light zooms really quickly - imagine a super fast race car! They measured it and found that light travels at a speed of 3.0 × 10^8. That's a very big number! Just like we measure how fast cars go, scientists measured how fast light goes |

Go on Google and search for navigation maps for your specific car make and generation, e.g "navigation maps for audi a4 b6" You'll definitely get something that will show you how to make either dvd or harddrive based images of your region's map for your vehicle. Region in this case being Nigeria.

For this that can't read long speeches, here is the summary
Tinubu delivers his inaugural address, expressing gratitude and a strong commitment to serving the nation. He acknowledges the challenges Nigeria has faced but emphasizes its resilience and the unity of its people. Tinubu praises the peaceful transition of power and extends gratitude and respect to his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari.
He rejects the notion that Nigeria will break apart and affirms its position as a leading nation in Africa. Tinubu pledges to govern on behalf of the people, consulting and respecting diverse views. He aims to heal the nation and outlines key initiatives for progressive governance.
Security is identified as a top priority, with plans for security reform and increased investment in personnel, training, and equipment. Economic growth, job creation, and poverty alleviation are key goals. Tinubu emphasizes the importance of women and youth and promises to champion anti-corruption efforts.
Infrastructure development, agricultural advancements, and improvements in the energy sector are highlighted. The president supports the phasing out of fuel subsidies to redirect funds to public infrastructure, education, healthcare, and job creation.
Tinubu acknowledges the need for monetary policy reform, including a unified exchange rate and reduced interest rates. He commits to reviewing currency swap policies and emphasizes the importance of foreign policy in maintaining peace and stability within West Africa and the African continent. Tinubu aims to lead the regional and continental quest for collective prosperity.
In conclusion, President Tinubu calls on the people to join him in making Nigeria a more perfect nation and democracy. He expresses confidence in the nation's ability to achieve its goals and declares his commitment to serving as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The speech ends with a blessing for the people and the nation. |

But, I'm still confused tbh. My best guess is that a hotel reservation would serve that purpose.
This is because they've already asked for a 'letter of invitation' and a 'proof of residence' from host as part of the required documents. Both of these documents contains an address. How was your trip? I am planning a visit to Zimbabwe |
Politics › Osun 2022: My Modest Contributions To PDP's Success - Oke Umurhohwo by stalyf(op): 8:15pm On Jul 19, 2022 |
The 2022 governorship election in Osun state has come and gone. The outcome was that Distinguished Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke will be Governor of Osun state for the next four years.
This is incredible news and was obviously reflective in the mood of the Osun people, who went into wild jubilation after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the former Osun West senator the winner of the contest.
The PDP is back to power in Osun state after 12 years. It is an impressive turn of events, and a lot of effort went into making that possible. Although the PDP could have returned to power earlier, the mandate freely given to Senator Adeleke in the 2018 election was violently usurped.
When he picked the PDP ticket after the party's primaries, I took a serious interest in his election. I was persuaded by the prospect that his victory in the election will bode well for the PDP's victory in the 2023 presidential election, and as such, I took to work in my own little ways.
Although I am not from Osun state, I leveraged contacts in the state to canvass support for the PDP candidate. Three days before the gubernatorial elections, I moved to Osun state to join efforts to not only get Osun people to cast their ballots for Senator Adeleke but ensure that the election is not stolen like in 2018.
Along with a team put together by me, we transverse Osun state and spoke to people on why they should settle for PDP. As I noted before, winning Osun for PDP would strengthen the quest of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's chances of winning the presidential elections in 2023.
Under the APC, Nigeria has endured the worst of governance, causing incalculable loss of life, acute poverty, and economic devastation of an unimaginable proportion. Atiku portends the most probable option out of the mess created by APC, and this unambiguous truth formed the basis of my message to voters, and how winning Osun state for PDP, will start the process of fixing Nigeria.
All of these manifested for good on the election day as electorates, in many of the polling units we observed, went for the choice of Senator Adeleke. From Ile-Ife to Ilesha, and Osogbo, to Ila, the preference for Senator Adeleke was noticeable. And in the end, PDP won.
Going by the outcome of the Osun governorship election, and my interaction with people while in the state, it is clear enough what Nigerians want. They want a government that will truly serve them and going by the disastrous performance of APC, the PDP remain the veritable alternative. Just as it was in Osun, so will it be in the presidential election come February, as Nigerians will settle for Atiku as president.
