@HenryAgu_ @ayobamiephraim @Tolu__Grey It increases the running cost actually but it’s their business model sha, I believe that they would have done their studies

@OStephenConsult @ayobamiephraim @Tolu__Grey It is an assumption at the end of the day but having that much outlet reduces the running cost and increases turnover. Good thing is they only deal with FMCG, so you’ll hardly have a product sitting on the shelf for long

Since I am in the mood, I'll drop my concerns about Bokku as well...

@HenryAgu_ @ayobamiephraim @Tolu__Grey Are you sure about that? Not ignoring their running cost o If you ask me, for that huge capital, they are not supposed to have them that close. It’s same set of people that will buy. Same risk I see with them is what is see with item7 in Ibadan. @Tolu__Grey Whyte

@OStephenConsult @ayobamiephraim @Tolu__Grey They most likely lease over 70% of their locations for a 15/20 year period, that’s my assumption anyway. Each store should be able to break even within 5 years if all goes well

@ayobamiephraim @Tolu__Grey I will really like to see their pitch for their financial projections, cause if you ask me oo,for an fmcg store whose profit is in volume, I think their capital expenditure is a lot.

@Tolu__Grey The money is enough Atreos Limited who is a parent company is backed by an investment company that funded Moniepoint in 2021 I think they’re called light rock or something See the kind of real estate they’re shopping for. They have money 😀

@Tolu__Grey @ayobamiephraim Toluuuu, I don’t know you but your are spitting fire. I have followed already

@ayobamiephraim That's the thing, if you're pilling in large cash, you're not expecting immediate profit. Thus, blitzscaling Uber style. Market control is usually the end goal but if the money isnt enough, and other factors dont stay green, the business wont live long enough to dominate.

@OluwatobiAjayiJ Omoo, the journey to success enn, narrow and stressful but always worth it. Thank you for not giving up. Cheers to more wins Egbon

As I entered the plane, I asked the air hostess for some juice because I felt like I might collapse. I drank the juice, and a few hours later the meals were served. Eventually, I landed in Nigeria via Dubai. I remembered this story recently because of the situation in the Middle East. I began to think about what would have happened if, at that time, I was stranded in Guangzhou with almost no money, just waiting to finish my meetings and catch my Emirates flight back to Nigeria, only to hear that flights had been cancelled because a war had started. It would have been devastating. I honestly do not even want to imagine how much that could have affected me at that time. May God never give us more tribulations than our capacity can handle. Today, although I am in Nigeria, I am supposed to travel to China this weekend with five members of my team. We had booked Qatar Airways, but since Qatar could not go, I simply told the team to book all of us on another airline. We have come a long way, God is great.

I want to share a story. I have probably only told one or two people before. It was 2019. I was building Nord, I owned 100% at this time, and I had to go to China because some of our important suppliers needed to see me and discuss the way forward. I had spent months selling my dream to them, yet there was still no significant order. I had to fly to China to buy more time. However, I did not have enough money. I was very low on cash. Yet I knew that if I did not go on that trip, the suppliers would see me as unserious and the company would slowly just collapse. I have a good friend who has always been inspired by what I do and my accomplishments. He expressed interest in investing in Nord and I suggested that we visit the suppliers in China together. My plan was simple. I would pay for my flight and we would share a room where he would cover most of the room cost, while I showed him what we could do with our supply chain. He lives in London and I live in Nigeria. We were supposed to fly and land almost at the same time, although he was scheduled to arrive a few hours before me. A few hours before his flight, he called me to say he could not make it because of a logistical mix up. He told me last year, in 2025, that he actually had a serious medical emergency and might have died if he had not been in the UK where he was comfortable and had access to care. At the time, I did not know this. He did not tell me it was that serious. I simply felt he had abandoned me once the scale of the investment became obvious to him. Still, I was kind on the phone and told him it was okay. He remembered that. My already difficult but important trip suddenly became much more difficult, but I knew I still had to go. I flew to China and landed alone. We had initially planned to stay in a $100 per night room which we would share. Of course, I could not stay in a $100 per night room with my budget anymore, so I told my Chinese partner and friend to find me a really cheap hotel that was still close to town. He took me to one hotel that had a horrible smell. It was going for $25 per night. I was going to take it until I saw that the toilet was a pit toilet. I said, “No, e never bad like this.” I asked him to find me a hotel with a normal toilet. He took me to another one. The smell was ok, it looked neat, and it had a normal WC. It was $40 per night. I took it. I stayed a few days in Guangzhou, then took trains to other cities where my suppliers were located, staying in hotels that cost about $35 to $40 per night. A few days before my return, I had to visit an important supplier in a city that required a flight. I had to call Nigeria and asked that they send me some change I put somewhere. I think about $150 was sent through Western U. I used it to buy the flight ticket, attended the meeting, and then returned to Guangzhou for the last two days. When I landed back in Guangzhou, I had almost no money left. I probably had the equivalent of about $5. It could not buy anything meaningful, but I kept it just to convince myself mentally that I was not completely at zero. Psychologically, I was very low. The hotel had complimentary breakfast. That was what I would eat in the morning, and then I would go the entire day without eating. I would drink water all day and go for my meetings while my Chinese friend drove me around. He did not know I was that low on cash. Some days we would get complimentary lunch from the suppliers we visited. On other days, we did not. I just maintained an outward positive attitude even though I was tired and hungry, honestly I was just waiting for the day of my flight so I could finally return to Nigeria. On the day of the flight, my friend found a way to get me to the airport (that is a story for another day, as that was the day he suspected I was really low on cash). As usual, I had eaten only breakfast, and the flight was at 00:50 am. I was hungry and tired, I could not buy anything while we waited to board.

@chyngyozil My guy Happy new year

We lost the league to Barcelona last season by dropping points at Osasuna It’s happened again

@Rxbremen Like you said, they need to work on their financial literacy .

I used 1,300 as exchange rate and it’s about 36m. You guys really need to work on your financial literacy it’s affecting you all. 36m at once, let’s say you don’t have a car before, get a clean Honda evil spirit, 5m, you use an extra 1m to run new Tyre, service it and clean up to your taste. (Many would want to buy a car of 18m to prove what is not to friends) You are left with 30m, bring 10m and place in MMF at 16-20% per annum, you are left with 20m. Bring 10m and buy stocks of 5-10 good companies, and watch it compound for you. You are left with 10m, put 2m in your emergency fund, some give as high as 15% per annum. You are left with 8m, buy some clothes (don’t do branded) upgrade your wardrobe sensibly, you can get an apartment and furnish reasonably, you don’t need to live like a king. Next go and find a job, with a decent pay 👍👍👍.

@a_derll Will Madrid players run? The core of this tactics is players willing to run

Arbeloa should come and learn from Michael Carrick, what beauty

@hiztol15 @TomBleeny "He called them goat" That's stern? Brother good night

A tale of two pastors. A tale of two churches seemingly ravaged with sexual immorality. Watch the reactions of the shepherds; one praised God that fornicators didn't conceive(saved from shame of pregnancy) ; the other mourned. Watch the reactions of the so called sheep.

@WilJay_1 @IyTobisin Sure!! This yearrrr

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're getting a car this year 🤲🏽

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?” The message came in at 11 PM: “Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.” Old me would have rescheduled. Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag. New me replied: “Absolutely. See you tomorrow.” She showed up with her baby on her hip. She apologized three times before even sitting down. Ten minutes in, the baby started crying. She tried to soothe him while answering questions. She apologized again. I stopped the interview and said: “Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.” Her eyes filled with tears. We hired her. She’s been with us for a year now. The most reliable team member we have. Why? Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing. Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire. Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities. If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism. You’re filtering for privilege.

Fredrick is absolutely our standout player ! His confidence, skill, and tactical awareness are on another level. Top performance! Top Player💪⚽ My man of the match #NGAGBN
