Nysc is experiencing low registration because
1. people are starting to value their lives more.
2. It's super expensive.
3. No guaranteed job afterwards.
4. Most are already switching to getting skills instead of getting killed.
Love it for everyone that is boycotting. 💜🤲🏾

Your 20s & 30s are slipping away just surviving Nigeria. No house, no car, no exposure because you can’t travel, no craft to show your talent, zero savings, barely affording dates, drowning in endless bills from home; 40 is knocking & Ai may replace you before you’re ready.

people are spending 6 months picking the right project management tool before they start
meanwhile Sam’s father did a quarter billion in sales with just relationships, 2 phones, a binder and 25 years of showing up
how could i have forgotten his fat Mercedes?
Sam Parr@thesamparr
My father owns a produce brokerage company. He sells +$10m a year in onions a year with a phone, fax machine, and file cabinet. TLDR: - he calls farmers and will buy two or three truckloads of onions - then organizes a truck for pick up - sells the onions to Walmart or some other chain like that. I made a video about it when I was at his office, and on Instagram it got like 3 million views in a week. He was so pumped. And no, he doesn't make $10m/year. The margins are tiny. But its just him + 1 person in office. Put me through college debt free and has always driven a fat Mercedes! Originally, he worked in a grocery store in the produce section. Then had fruit stand on the side of the road. Then did the white collar move and started a brokerage. I was in 4th grade. It was funny because he started the business in summertime, and the AC of the office was expensive, so he used to work barefooted without a shirt and his Docker shorts. It's been like 25 years now, and he's sold over a quarter of a billion dollars' worth of onions. His CRM is a binder. He has two phones, a file cabinet, and everything is done with checks. There's a computer on his desk, but to be honest, it's for when he uses Facebook, YouTube and visiting The Chive. And there's a baby playpen in the office so his co-worker, who he has hired, can bring her baby to work. The video was only 60 seconds long and people loved it because they were shocked that you can build a really good lifestyle with simplicity.

CZ 🔶 BNB@cz_binance
Just tried it. Push ups. Not proper form or speed, but the best I could do for now. I am 49. I challenge you to do better. 😉 (Unedited, no AI, straight from camera)

We built an AI assistant that connects to your Chowdeck account. Track your lifetime spending, see your top restaurants, search menus, and even place orders — all from a chat. One user discovered they'd spent ₦5.8M on food delivery. What's your number? check it out here: goalmatic.io/agents/explore… @IndieHackers @Geektutor @hackSultan @Fosudo @Cc_HUB @Techpointdotafrica @AdoraNwodo @AdewaleYusuf

@NotTK_Alternate @ivysats i believe there was better structure in the banking system. we have UBA and other trad banks. these banks were just not doing the right things.

i thought the same thing. so i went and interviewed 10 different agents in Lagos because i was looking to build this exact product.
here's what i found:
• multiple people have tried to build such tech before and failed. a couple are still out there trying.
• there's way more demand than supply, and most of what exists is low quality. you can't run a marketplace with 1000 customers daily and only 50 products on the shelf. the seller would determines everything.
• agents/landlords don't have a problem finding tenants. demand is not the issue. so onboarding either parties would be a hassle. the real problems are deeper.
• landlords discriminate heavily. married, Yoruba, white collar.....
• there's a lot of price manipulation. a landlord list at 3M, sees crowd show up to inspect, and randomly increase price to 4M.
• most landlords aren't tech savvy. they hand properties to one "mandate" agent who becomes the gatekeeper. this creates chains of 4 to 5 agents per property, each inflating the price.
• some landlords take half the agent's commission. money that's supposed to be the agent's income.
an app that "connects landlords to tenants directly" sounds like the answer. but after talking to both sides, the problem isn't tech. it's structure.
Zillow and Zoopla works because they built tech on top of structure that already existed and there was enough supply to go round.
Lagos has demand but not enough supply, no enforced building standards, no strict commission standards.
you can't build a Zillow on top of such chaos.
my piece.

Every fintech doesn't have to revolve or be about Finance 🤧 We desperately need an app that can connect Landlords to Tenants directly 🙂

@234kosi he made a mistake, he was trying to say not all startups should be fintechs
English
@evendonalds Also fintech has to revolve around finance because that’s what makes it a fintech. Connecting tenants to landlords isn’t fintech
