CALVES FROM THE STALL! This is an example of people who would take the world and fulfill their dreams with determination from the heart. I'll explain. Calves: They were born without an immune system but had super-sharp teeth; they can stand, walk, and feed on milk until they are

You are an OBIdient. You are crashing out under waspapping, omojuwa, deji, Lawrence, Yul Edochie’s comment section which in turn puts money in their pockets🤦🏾‍♀️ Why? Be intentional and energetically engage other OBIdients. Verified or not.

I worked with one foreign company in As MIS ANALYST, none of the expatriate could handle what I do. They had to organized a training session for both local and the expatriate. I WAS THE INSTRUCTOR. I asked for pay raise after. That's where my problem started.

@Keymanh_ @AnkaraDija Those liabilities were plans to save other Nigerian working there. The oppression was just too much. At least they won't wake up one morning and fire anyone. The joy was to create a saving mechanism since we aren't there anymore.

I'm not shutting up anytime soon, foreigners in Nigeria earn way too much for a country that is so poor, & we also face racism, these foreign "experts" are also racist. I have suffered racism from an indian in my own country. He hated Nigerians & didn't like that my English was good and I wasn't scared of him, He called the supervisor whenever he sees me and told him I speak too much English. After working from Monday to Saturday for 15k naira per month. I was 16 then I had to hustle because my parents didn't have much. Nigeria needs to fix up.

@nnamdiobiii You nailed it. The consent form sound like a good bargain to them for the peanut whereas they know exactly what they are doing.

CLOWNS using the same PLAYBOOK. Someone tagged me to this nonsense yesterday. You banned Nigeria and called it fraud prevention. Let's be clear about what this actually is. Your own post admits your detection system ran for months before catching a ~95% fraud rate. If your KYC is that strong, why did it take months? You don't get to announce your detection failure and then blame the country. The 95% figure has zero public methodology. No third-party audit. No breakdown of how fraud was defined. No clarity on whether Nigerian users were flagged by the same thresholds as Malaysia or Indonesia. You cannot cite a statistic only you can see and call it evidence. That passport photo proves one person submitted a fake document. Not that 200 million people are fraudsters. WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. A 22 year old college dropout who built a data harvesting app and dressed it up as fair compensation for the little guy. Look at your own investor list. K5 Global and Founders Fund have co-invested in the same portfolio companies. Founders Fund is the original institutional backer of Palantir. Your other backer, Aglaé Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, runs an AI portfolio that intersects directly with the same labs that Palantir's AIP platform integrates with. Nobody is making wild accusations here. We are just reading the room. FOR MY NIGERIANS WHO DO NOT KNOW Here is what that network is actually building. Kled mobilizes hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents. You convert raw human life into machine readable product. The labs and platforms connected to your investors then take that data and make it actionable for governments, corporations, and in some cases, military operations. Here is why Nigeria specifically matters to this model. The major AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win those cases, they need to prove they have clean, consented data. Buying a dataset from a platform like Kled, where every user signed a digital consent form in exchange for a few dollars, gives billion dollar tech companies a legal free pass. You are not disrupting anything. You are laundering consent for people with far more power than you. And here is the part nobody is saying out loud. Imagine if a company already under fire for government surveillance and military contracts openly offered to pay people in developing countries to film their homes and daily lives. It would look exactly like what it is. By using smaller startups as the public face, the same data gets collected, the same surveillance infrastructure gets fed, and the powerful names stay clean in the public eye. A 22 year old dropout does not accidentally end up with this investor network. The connections around him tell a very specific story. We are just the ones reading it out loud. This is the same playbook PayPal ran on Nigeria for years. Locked us out. Called us fraudsters. Made us third-class citizens of the internet economy. And when they finally came back, after years of Nigerian developers building workarounds and Nigerian users funding entire ecosystems without them, we had already moved on. We didn't need them. We needed the infrastructure they refused to give us. They did not give it to us and we survived. You will try to re-enter but it will be too late. To MY FELLOW NIGERIANS, Every time a foreign platform exits Nigeria citing fraud, we debate the fraud. We rarely ask why a country of 220 million people with the largest developer community in Africa still does not own the servers, the data centers, or the infrastructure that defines what "legitimate" looks like online. When you don't own your data infrastructure, someone else defines your identity. They decide what counts as fraud. They decide what counts as valid. They hold the receipt and you argue at the door. The answer to Kled is not begging them to return. The answer is owning the pipes. Data centers. Local cloud infrastructure. Payment rails we control. Identity systems we built. Every platform that exits us citing fraud is just showing us what it costs to not own our own infrastructure. That bill keeps compounding. It is time we paid it differently. So that next time, comedians like this will not have the guts to call us fraud without evidence.

We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region. The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support. Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform. After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale. In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size. Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand. This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw. As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right. On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand. We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right. -Kled Team

All these companies have Nigerian HR that knows and consent to these shit. They are the selling us all. HR bodies are worst than politicians.

I unironically support the alleged Nigerian scammers in this case. A startup whose premise is to pay poor people to submit their photos and data and use it to train AI models that will inevitably be turned into weapons or tools that destroy livelihoods so that a defense contractor in Silicon Valley can have 3 yachts instead of 2, is a startup I wish death upon. I hope the Yahoo Boys get around this rudimentary IP ban and continue what they're doing until they make this startup insolvent or render its AI model unusable.
