Dino is like every other corrupt politician in Nigeria. He got his hands on government money through corruption then invested most of them into bitcoin very early when bitcoin crashed and the price was below $10000-$15000.

90% of the wealth he enjoys today is due to bitcoin price rising crazily.

Subsequently he's been helping some other non techy politicians launder stolen money from Nigeria through crypto, thereby creating an endless stream of money for him to acquire these wealth toys and flaunt in public while claiming to own a ghost McDonald franchise

Nigeria is a huge crime scene. Only the treatment given by J Rawlings to the corrupt politicians in Ghana can set Nigeria back on track

Till then it's free for all

How I wish I can give your comment a thousand likes!👍
The highlighted part is my own line of thought as well.

Naz34:
and those wondering abokis with no homes as well.

You're right, I forgot to include that.

These open feces are the handiwork of touts and agberos littered around not just this part of Lagos but many other parts.

Tjra:
Muhammadu Buhari
2022: US$895 million

Buhari/Tinubu
2023: US$1.87 billion

Bola Tinubu
2024: ?

If you are educated, you ought to know there is 100% growth between 2022 and 2023.

And no figures yet for 2024 which the current administration will be solely responsible for. This is August 13th with some months left to close the year.

So, based on the statistics display, I believe it's your brain you should check or find someone to teach you elementary maths.

You paid BATidiots always show the highest level of stupidity with your comments.

I guess you overlooked the bolded and just rushed to comment bunkum.

The situation is even more troubling when you consider that Nigeria had consistently attracted FDI inflows of over US$4 billion annually since 2005 during the Obasanjo, Yar'adua and Jonathan administrations. However, since the APC took over in 2015, the country's FDI inflow has failed to reach even US$4 billion.

The APC you and your ilks have been supporting since 2015 have done nothing but underwhelmingly reversed economic growth and development in Nigeria.

Ruuchiinaa:
Please, how do one go about buying stocks in any of the S&P 500 companies?

You have to make your own research.
But to get started, download the Bamboo app and thereafter watch a couple of YouTube videos to gain better understanding about how to buy these stocks.

Saturnalia:
This is why it is never advisable to buy shares in any Bank unless you’re buying the majority stake like Femi Otedola did with First Bank.

If the Bank liquidates, Na the Toro-Kobo customers go use their head carry skibo.

Between last week and tonight, GTBANK sent me more than 20 emails asking me to buy shares. I just dey delete the useless messages.

Make I buy shares with my money make Oloriburuku Segun Agbaje buy Latest Benz GLS and stamp customized License Plate 007 on it like he does with all his vehicles?

Imagine selling shares for N44.50? Even Zenith Bank is selling their useless shares for N36.50 ; whereas Femi Otedola bought his own shares at N21.

No be me tell them to mismanage their assets & liquidity. E no go better for all of them.

Access Bank own Na him still dey vex me pass. They sent money into my Access Bank Account and the fraudulent Bank debited me for “Electronic Transfer Levy”. I no fit talk.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi remains the best CBN Governor Nigeria ever produced.

I thought I was the only one utterly pissed by the bolded.

Instead of buying their nonsense shares, I'll prefer to use the money to buy stocks in S&P 500 companies.

Nigerian banks are useless.

Enddy50ty:
This reminds me of my ex “Blessing”. Fine girl with undiluted madness, never shy of public embarrassment.

The bolded got me laughing out loud! 😄😅
Me that don’t like any form of drama or embarrassment, I pray I don't meet someone like her.

RenaissanceGuy:
Samsung has left you behind. They began producing phones with rugged batteries since around 2018 — that's at least 6 years ago.

Thank you for clearing him.

My previous Samsung A70 that was produced in 2019 had a strong battery that last me for a full day with moderate to heavy use.

My current Samsung Note 10 Plus has a reliable battery that takes me almost through the day with moderate to heavy use.

gentlesmithugo:
Is Samsung Galaxy note 10 plus 5g still a good buy in 2024.pls I need your opinion.

Yes, I just recently got mine... Though not the 5G version.

Samsung Note 10 Plus is a flagship that was way ahead of its time. Even in 2024, this phone still beats a lot of midrange phones in many aspects.

The Note 10+ has an excellent display, snappy performance, very good cameras, and surprisingly good battery that last me close to a day for moderate use. The phone also has DeX and S pen.

Just get the Snapdragon variant from a reputable seller and start enjoying the device like I do.

Please someone should share a confirm streaming site.

Tit4Tat1:
Thanks for ur input boss
I currently use the s10+(snap dragon variant) and going for the note 10+ wouldn't be much of an upgarde I think owning to the fact that both phones are similar...

That said I've always been scared of the green line whatsoever, and since it's a common issue among the s20+, s21+ etc I think I would just opt in for the note version... Which would you recommend boss?

Budget is around 350k but can be slightly increased if I get something better

I understand that you're currently using S10+ but the Note 10+, especially the Snapdragon version, slightly outperforms the S10+ in some key areas (you can check for comparison videos on YouTube).

The green line issue is the reason I also avoided the S20, Note 20 and S21 line ups. I chose the Note 10+ because no green line issues have been reported with it.

350k is a good budget and it'll get you a clean Note 10+ but ensure you go for the Snapdragon variant.

Tit4Tat1:
Aiit thanks boss... Thought the s20 version is the one associated with such issues especially line appearing on the screen after upgrade. That's even the major reason I'm not opting for the s20+/s20 version

The S20, S21, and S22 series are reported to be affected by the green/pink line issues, especially after updating them.

I also wanted to get the S20+ before as it's a good phone but I changed my mind and got the Note 10+ (Snapdragon version), which is serving me so well.

You didn't answer my questions.

1. What was the price of a single laptop in 2015 and what is the price of single laptop in 2024?

2. Has the price of laptop decreased since 2015?

3. How many laptops can you use N1.5m to buy today?

I reverted to the moniker you quoted and I still maintain my stance from when I quoted you.

The exchange rate still plays a major role in the price of laptops. In 2015, if you make $1000 @ the rate of ₦216 that amounts to ₦216,000, which will get you a very good laptop then.
Fast forward to 2024, if you earn that same $1000 @ the rate of ₦1500 that amounts to ₦1.5m, which will get you a very good laptop for ₦400,000 to ₦600,000.

Basically, you can buy two to three laptops today.

JasonNOTStatham:
You can buy a laptop amounting 150K in 2015, same laptop or similar spec will be sold today in shops around 400-500k. The price is not always constant, and very much likely laptops of such spec would be a decrease today. You could buy several of those laptop with N1.5M today.

Yes✅

lexy2014:
What was the price of laptop in 2015 and what is the price today?

Has the price of laptop decreased since 2015?

How do you make this kind of comparison?

Except from Zinox laptops (which are not that popular), 99.99% of laptops (new and used) used in Nigeria are imported. So as the exchange rate increases, the price of laptops also increases.

So I don't know how you're able to make this comparison.

Midehi3:
Who is this thing

It seems you're just seeking attention.
Don't quote me again.

Happy and enslaved fools will never criticise Tinubu's calamitous government but let someone just come out to make any form of criticism, you'll see them troop out to defend their lord.

Nigeria may never get better if we keep having evil people in power and idiotic supporters backing them, even in the face of glaring economic deterioration and decline.

Try Samsung A72, a clean one is within your budget.
Personally, I use Samsung A70 (still working fine) and looking to upgrade to A72 or A73.

CaptainArc:
I no fit do anything wey go cause me undergo verification again until my passport come out. I don't trust nimc card and license again.

They also accept PVC, so you can tender it if you have.

CaptainArc:
hope they won't tell me to verify identify again. I suffered to get that verification

They will ask you to verify but you'll be fine if your verification documents are genuine.

CaptainArc:
Which payout option is best. I already have my local bank account linked, which I've been using, I just got geegpay USD, is geegpay rates better than Upwork local bank transfer?

Yes, Geegpay rate is better.
I always withdraw my Upwork funds to Geegpay and then to my local bank account.

Dwightventures:
Danger everywhere you look in Nigeria. Potential criminals outnumber clean people (if there are at all)

Though I don’t know his motive but one just have to be generally cautious in Nigeria these days.

falcon01:
Money wise I'm picking the iPhone too🤣

Yeah, I get your point.
Compared to Android flagships, iPhones retain their value over time.

Daviestunech:
Those are the best for now considering the budget above.

I currently use the mi11i

How's your experience with the Mi 11i so far?

Adebaba1:
Omo
Na you o

I've written in other niches before.
I just decided to constrain myself to writing technical contents because I found that I'm more interested in it.

falcon01:
iPhone 14 Is more expensive but I'll still pick the s10 pluss for usage

Productivity-wise, it is understandable that one prefer a good Android phone over an iPhone.
I'm just looking at it that the iPhone 13 you mentioned will buy two Samsung S10 Plus.

Midehi3:
You are a foo.l not to understand what I wrote, since your brain is turn upside down keep it that way, I no get strength to argue with a retarded skull

Think that way to your sisters, cos that is who they are, not me

Ciao

You're a good for nothing dunderhead!
And I can already see that you're deficient in sound reasoning and have no modicum of sense.

I didn't even mean to go down this route with you but it is obvious you're not the type of lady that deserves a gentlemanly response from me.

Stay put to whatever rocks your boat.
Don't quote me again.

Daviestunech:
Mi 11t pro 12g-256g-260k
Or mi11i 8-256- 230k

Don't think of any Samsung devices so u won't regret the screen green line issues
That's wat I will recommend for u bro

I'm also looking to upgrade my phone.

How well can you recommend these phones?

Because I have heard and read about how the software of most Xiaomi phones are buggy.

Kelklein:
Which kain swap be this one ..🤔🤔

I'm not just understanding... iPhone 13 for Samsung S10 Plus?
Maybe the iPhone 13 is the copy.

Adebaba1:
Sorry chief
What's your niche

Technical content writing.
I write about anything from quantum computing to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

Midehi3:
Nothing to like, just don't have the strength to argue your rubbish

Just bleep off already!🙄
You'll term it as rubbish because I know your type has this stupid entitlement mentality when you're in a relationship with a guy.

Jaycobbs:
We discussed payment platforms after I signed up.

In retrospect though, I wish I'd stayed on the platform. I've earned nearly $1K working with him, and if all of that was documented on Upwork, it would have improved my reputation on the platform and made the way for better jobs.

So, you can skip paying the 10% to Upwork, but everything has pros and cons

Understood.

I got the two clients I've been working with so far off Upwork, we only took our contract to the platform because of ease of payment.

Both of them complained that they can't conveniently and directly pay into the ACH account I provided, this is the reason we migrated to Upwork.

The 10% "tithe" Upwork is collecting is not going well with me but I don't have a choice!
