@boye4christ2006 At the risk of sounding like a cowrie-beaded danshiki-wearing Pan-African, this is really ridiculous.

Do you know that Queen of Sheba that went to visit King Solomon in the Bible died in Nigeria 💔?
Her burial site is located in Oke-Eri, a small village in Ogun State, Nigeria.
It functions as an active pilgrimage and tourist site.

@Charles47674402 @business Saying it’s a very big lie doesn’t make it a very big lie. Do you have anything to back up your claim?

A case can be made that there’s been a silent generational change in fertility rates in Nigeria. Admittedly, I’m drawing from the experiences of people close to me. My father’s generation birthed an average of four kids per family. My generation (again, drawing from anecdotes) is not so keen on having up to four kids per family. Most people that I know are okay with 2 children and 3 at most. Africa has caught the pandemic of declining birth rate. Though, it not as obvious as it is in the West.

Is Africa's Rapid Population Growth a Global Challenge in the Making?
In this video, I explore the cultural practices that contribute to the high birth rates in black African communities. Asking black Africans to stop having children is akin to asking Westerners to forgo their holidays—it's deeply rooted in their cultural identity. Having children is seen as an important aspect of personal achievement and fulfilment, and this trend may not slow down until the latter part of the 22nd century. By that time, it is suggested that Western and East Asian nations may be as insignificant on the global stage as Mongolia is today.
We welcome your thoughts in the comments section.

Perhaps, no genre beats Afrobeats in absurd lyricism. You can always “sempele” or “jẹ́ngẹ́dẹ́” your way into melodic improvisation and your audience will eat it up. It’s a proven formula.

I’m a sucker for UAPs but I’ve got to be honest, the evidence remains underwhelming especially when you think about how ubiquitous cameras are and how sophisticated lenses are today. We are essentially living in the panopticon. It has never been easier to capture anything. Yet, the best proof we have of UAPs are negative films of dots moving somewhere across the Gulf. I hope the next tranches will contain something more interesting.

🚨 WHITE HOUSE “ACCIDENTALLY” LEAKS UFO HARD DRIVE TO PETER DOOCY — AND THE FOOTAGE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN’T EXPLAIN A White House official reportedly left a hard drive labeled “AARO FILES — COPY 2 OF 3” on his desk… overnight. Peter shares the footage in a world exclusive: • Multiple “UNRESOLVED UAP” videos released all at once • Objects tracked over UAE, Iraq, and Greece — all officially unexplained • One described as an “inverted teardrop” with something trailing beneath it • Another moving across the frame with no clear propulsion or signature The official line? They don’t know what they’re looking at. Not classified as threats. Not identified as anything known. Simply… unresolved. Even older records are resurfacing, including transcripts from Apollo 17 where astronauts described “bright, jagged fragments” drifting outside the spacecraft. For decades, that was written off. Now? “No consensus.” This is only the first batch. Officials say hundreds of documents and videos are still being processed… and more releases are coming piece by piece. If this is what they’re willing to release… what are they still hiding?

@0xKharon @ethos_network Whatever helps you sleep, genius.
English
@LukeOlaniyi @ethos_network Justify it to yourself now however you like. I don't mind at all. Each of us is capable of building an illusory world in which we feel comfortable.
English
It's worth thinking about. This guy is the founder of some project called Kled.
On @ethos_network, he had 10 reviews from users, of which ZERO were positive.
Today, he is blocking all of Nigeria in his project by IP and removing it from the app store.
Social signals can be useful to think ahead.
English
@0xKharon @ethos_network You couldn’t engage and had to resort to insults and patting yourself on the back. Very rich coming from someone who is accusing me of having exhausted myself.
English
I see how this is wearing you out and how much time you're spending on crafting your response.
I'll add one final touch: Fuck PayPal and all that centralized bullshit. Don't look for more reasons to argue, don't exhaust yourself. You're not going to look smarter in this conversation. You've already lost.
Good night, buddy. I hope we'll meet again, but under more positive circumstances.
English
Does this also apply to PayPal and other platforms that have geo bans and country bans?
PayPal should have been able to foresee fraudsters abusing their platform. And if they can’t foresee the many ingenuous ways of these fraudsters, they shouldn’t have existed as a business. Is that your argument?
“The guy is connected to Kled and you can’t have missed the posts he’s putting out” - still coming up with excuses?
Somehow, your point will make sense later, just not now. Okay genius.
English
If the Kled team was not able to foresee that their system would be abused, then I have some gloomy news for you as a fan of this project, lol.
Yeah, buddy. They should have thought about that from the start and continue improving their own system. What happened today is on their shoulders and on their reputation.
As you like to say, "from a business perspective"
- from a business perspective, there shouldn't be any business here at all, neither this project nor its founder.
Regarding your second question: that guy is connected to Kled, and you can't have missed the posts he's been putting out, lol.
Alright, buddy, go get some sleep. You're clearly overheating over a project that, as far as I can tell, pays you.
As for your remark that my point of view doesn't make sense. Perhaps you're just not yet able to see the meaning in it. That takes time.
English
Your first point still makes no sense. No one is saying Kled shouldn’t invest in better fraud detection mechanisms. But while at it, it is unrealistic for Kled to put up with that volume of fraud. Again, from a business perspective, that is simply dumb. For what it’s worth, the dude himself said the IP ban may be reversed “when the time is right.” Of course, that’s open to interpretation. But the point is your Web3 idea of open access in the face of that much volume of fraud is impracticable and very very utopian.
So, you thought it was wise to tag someone who was never a part of this conversation because he is closer to me or something? Whatever helps you sleep my guy.
English
So that your business or your employer's business doesn't suffer losses, you need to improve fraud detection mechanisms.
- Invest money in them, rather than suffering losses, whining about it on Twitter, and censoring an entire country. Period. Nothing more to discuss.
Regarding your question about why I tagged someone. I don't understand your motives, and that guy is clearly closer to you. I wanted to understand why you have such a difference of opinion.
Or did you think I'm here to argue with you and measure whose dick is bigger? I haven't even started yet, lol.
English
@0xKharon @ethos_network So, you’re asking for backup now? You can’t defend yourself anymore? SMH
English
Your first paragraph: You are confusing fraud detection methods with the application of unconditional censorship to an entire country. This denies access. This contradicts the idea of Web3.
Your second paragraph: I may come across as rude, but I will say it honestly and directly. I don't give a flying fuck about Kled and his business. What matters to me is crypto and the integrity of the ideology according to which everyone should have access to Web3 products. If this product behaves like web2, then let it go to web2.
Your third paragraph: I do not think that the claim about 94% fraud is provable, especially coming from a 22 year old teenager with a questionable reputation.
I will always be on the side of people. And if needed, on your side.
I still do not understand what position you, a Nigerian, carry inside yourself when your country has been blocked and people have lost access to a service to which they provided their own documents. And to a service whose founder has full access to users' personal data.
Hey @nnamdiobiii, what's happening here?
