If you don’t have good steady inflow of money, this is a bad investment.
Many house owners are very hungry people. The house is their only asset
West@WestnotWest
Why would you build a house to live in as a young boy? Rest of mind wan kpai you at your age wey you suppose de hustle 😭

A developer at work was denying using AI…
Meanwhile, I’ve seen him use it multiple times
I don’t understand why people lie about it.
AI is a tool using it doesn’t make you less of a developer.
Mide | Frontend Developer@frontend__fairy
So y’all code with AI but pretend not to?

Point of correction, sir.
That “tech bro” you mentioned? That one vexed me.
A real tech bro wouldn’t open his mouth to say something that embarrassing.
That egbon who made that Jumia comment is not a tech bro, he’s a cobbler.
It’s actually an insult to what Jumia has built.
Bayomi@SemudaraAbayomi
Some 9ja tech bros wants to build Jumia in two weeks…
English
Again, the only people who say that are those who have not built anything on a production server serving real customers in real time.
Titanium@akinkunmi
If you can build Jumia in 2 weeks, I'll pay for your next Codex Plus/Pro subscription. Remember, your goal is to build Jumia, not an e-commerce website. So you have to build the user-facing platform, ad system, dispute resolution, delivery system, seller hub, affiliate platform, and all the systems that work together to make Jumia Jumia. You have till 14th May.

A Nigerian fintech just lost ₦20 million to a fake webhook.
Attacker didn’t hack anything.
They just POSTed this to the endpoint:
{
"event": "transfer.success",
"amount": 500000,
"status": "success"
}
Backend credited the user. Zero money moved.
This is happening more in crypto payments too.
What every backend dev must do in 2026:
1. Verify webhook signature + IP + timestamp (not just event name).
2. Never credit on webhook alone always confirm on-chain + NIBSS.
3. Add rate limiting and replay attack protection.
4. Reconcile every stablecoin inflow against blockchain truth.
Crypto rails move fast. One lazy endpoint and you’re done.
Save this like your production depends on it.

I'm not even going to say anything.

On this Jumia Saga, hobbying, i name it after my daughter. I can't possibly build the business aspect of Jumia. But AI can build the tech part in 2 weeks, even without paying, this is day1, just wasting my time here, you don't have to mind. Its systematic approach not emotional. @echo_vick

250+ people have used Avnac.design just today.
Stay there and continue crying. 😂😂😂
Sam Ivere@hsprafrique
Yall be honest who really uses that AVNAC that this DUDE created
English
@akinkunmi Doesn’t equate actual usage.
Stop playing dumb, you probably know most of the traffics are bots 🤖 🤣

@prevpl1 @Heal_within96 No one siding without fake stats.
Go be a bigot elsewhere
English
@Heal_within96 Gee I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that blacks are so violent that 1/3 of American black men have a felony.
Or maybe it's because blacks are so violent that even black WOMEN have higher murder rates than white MEN
English
Maybe because violence people exist in every community. Why do you make it about race?
Kentucky Girl@Notwokenow
Just…..WHY?

@akinkunmi No one is trying to waste their time on low effort outcome.
Put Fundz down, IDAN 🤣

When you see a boy trying to ride a bicycle at first attempt, you will know. This is also saying that, when you see someone first attempt using gemini nano banana for image and he finally get it done, the excitement and happiness that comes with it. The most funny thing about this young man @akinkunmi here is that, he think he is actually making sense. Not to insult you but what will someone do with Claude abi codex subscription just to proof he can build jumia in 2 weeks? Is that person that poor that he cannot afford $20 to pay for a subscription? Una funny for this tech Twitter sha. This is the same thing that one guy here that built Gamms was making mouth that nobody can build his platform in 24hours abi 48hours with all features. He even went ahead to say he will pay the guy £1000 or more. One guy took the challenge and built the platform and even exceed what he built on Gamms. What happened later, the dude went cold but was acting up thinking it is smartness. He even blocked me when I called him via a comment. So to you Akin. Jumia.com.ng is a multi vendor ecommerce platform like other platforms in the world. And yes, AI can build it including all the features you mentioned here, the seller hub, the affiliate and the rest of the platform features. You think it is impossible because you can't build it. Just close this chapter or keep shouting up and down here. If you are serious with your claims, put better money and let someone shock you with the result. It can be built with laravel or any other stack chief.
