@ryanmchenoweth I agree 👍

@bodadisa The "nobody wants to work" crowd and the "I pay late and make excuses" crowd have a 90% overlap on a Venn diagram

These 'founders' are always quick to say how no youth wants to work and all that nonsense, they never say the part where they treat their workers like shit. I once tutored at an IT firm in Ilorin for a good period of time, and at this particular firm; the boss never had a problem collecting money from the students, I mean he wouldn't let you the tutors slack off with billing the students that wants to come and learn; but you see when it's time to pay you the tutor for the job done, that's when different stories starts to fly. He can say the money is in the company's account, I don't understand how that ever stops him from paying me, different stories I can't even remember, never when he wants to collect money from the students but it's always when he's to pay the tutors whose worked for him. I carried my 2 legs, and walked away from the firm never looked back again. I'd rather drink my garri and groundnut than go work there and be told stories when it's time to pay, i'm sure, someone who treats people like that will also talk about how no youth wants to work again. Tueh kelembe on all of them.

@brightafia I only heard of kled today through that post

Fraud is obviously a serious issue, and no one is denying that. If people are uploading fake data, duplicate images, AI-generated content, and even fake IDs, then yes, that’s a real problem for any startup. But banning an entire country feels like the lazy solution. If the issue is really coming from a small group of bad actors, then the focus should be on building better fraud detection systems and banning those accounts, not locking out everyone else. Also, a 95% fraud rate sounds alarming, but percentages can be misleading without context. If only a small number of people were using the app in the first place, and most of them happened to be abusing it, that would naturally push the percentage up. Most Nigerians don’t even know what this app is, so this doesn’t automatically reflect the wider population or market. Handle the fraud, protect your business, sure. But shutting down an entire region instead of fixing the system doesn’t really feel like the best way to solve the problem.

@ChrisKelly82003 @Danny456080 Thank you

@bodadisa @Danny456080 'Africa' as a concept is modern, 16th/17th century

Facts, the writing, math, geometry, and even religion all came from the Middle East long before Greece or Rome existed. The Greeks literally traveled to Egypt to learn. Western civilization didn’t start in Europe

This time I will try and fight very hard for my life and Iwon't give up. I've come along to hand the boots at this crucial stage of my life. I knw I possess the potential to do great things in life, I just know it, but the demons of my past failures and successes still linger and are trying to keep me down. Anyhoo, i'm still here, and I'm rready to fight them tooth to nail. May God help my soul.

@diovu22 Wow

So "HEAVEN HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES" is not even in the Bible???

@_DeejustDee 💯

@bodadisa He’s doing great with himself sha, I’m not even worried about him.

Those boys are terrible kids mehn, the quest to make quick money through whatever means is affecting our youngins badly. I pray so much for my brother daily. May God keep him from bad circle of friends.

I always believed that as I long as I had a laptop, there's no financial setback I can't face and not come out untop; I wasn't wrong with this assertion, it was based on what I'd experienced in the past, not until I experienced what I hadn't experienced before. I sold a macbook, an XPS, a dell latitude 3400, and my HP monitor just to pay off debts and survive. The situation was way beyond what I'd experienced from before and it hit me bad, I slumped into a depressive state, but we thank God for life. I stopped seeing a laptop as a symbol of life and financial resuscitation, I saw my life as that sign and symbol; and that's part of what makes me very thankful and appreciative for everyday I'm able to wake up from the last night's sleep.

I have much to do to actualize the kind of life I want for myself. Spirit of my ancestors, dey wii me

@ayesha_fatiima Grab a seat, you've got much to learn

How did people even learn coding back when there were no documetation & YouTube tutorials

@_DeejustDee Intern wey dey carry a whole team, ise asefeku

🤣🤣😂😂 I don’t even advise aiming towards internship, get your skills up and aim at being a “season entry-level professional…”

@Aje_Dynamicz Please

@Aje_Dynamicz Congrats, man. How can I get started with learning GHL automation? I have experience in desktop and web automation using software development

This is my happiest night for real I'm so emotional rn 🥺🥹 I can't wait to spend forever with you my love

@Aje_Dynamicz Chief, i'm serious with the learning part, please don't just like my comment and pass

@cent_haysmall A huge flex

Being a Yoruba is a very big flex.

@just_andydev And they expect to be worshipped. I once tutored at an IT firm, the founder never had a problem getting paid by the students, but there was different stories flying up and down when it's time to pay we the tutors

@bodadisa Bro these founders are playing a very dangerous game

Do junior devs really earn 200k monthly in Nigeria?

Please don't believe me when I say I should have being long dead on multiple occasions if not for the intervention of Ogun. I was raised in a Muslim home, and my given Islamic name is Abeeb, right from childhood I've always been a curious person, I'd sit outside looking towards the sky at night wondering how an entity came from the void to form the universe, you see, such line of thoughts are forbidden in Islam so I always shunned myself when they come to mind. Then came a time when I wanted to know where I stand as a Yoruba man in the Islamic paradigm so I set off to learn as much as I can in the field of Islamic Eschatology, and what Islam has for me as a Yoruba man. Well, I found out it has nothing for me o, I'd be a canon fodder at best if I don't call myself to order. Ever since I came to that realization, I've been learning online about Africa and it's past civilizations, and that led me to the works of great people like Cheikh Anta Diop, Dr Jawanza Kunjufu, Ben-Jochannen, Runoko Rashidi to name a few. It always saddened me that they focused more in Ancient Egypt which they'd called Kmt or Nubia, there was very little I could find from them on the Yoruba civilization past and present. I was still a practising Muslim, I went to school (Unilorin), I go to the Mosque and I go home, my life was pretty much triangulated. Until the point in my life when I had some very serious spiritual attack and Ogun was my saviour on multiple counts. I still remember chanting La Illah Illah Allah whenever I had sleep paralysis as I always felt a presence pressed heavily on my chest with no relief; for Ogun to now be my saviour on multiple occasions, I was opportuned to cross path with Alawo Ire, and the first thing he asked was if I come from the lineage of Ogun devotees, I said I don't know since I grew up in Lagos. To cut the long story short, that moment was a very humbling moment, as I was in a conflicting phase of my research and it reflected in my life, the evidence I was finding was very contrary to what we've been taught from childhood about Yoruba spirituality, but that moment provided clarity and peace. I've since stopped calling myself by the Islamic/Arabic name, once I'm out of this financial quagmire I'm currently into, I'll be removing the Arabic name from my name officially, and my children aren't taking any Arabic name or identity. I'm a full blooded Yoruba man, I don't need an Arabic Identity to function as a human. Thaink You.

@Raynerdtech Let's see how far it goes

@bodadisa That would be awesome!

Isn’t it scary how fast AI is advancing? 4 years ago, ChatGPT would argue with you that “strawberry” has just one “r.” 2 years ago, Gemini could hardly generate an image with words spelled correctly on it. Claude AI didn’t even exist 4 years ago. Claude AI is just 3 years old and has already taken you and I’s jobs. You, as a human who has lived over 20 years, can hardly complete an essay. At what level do you think AI will stop advancing?
