Sometimes what keeps you up late at night is the realization of what you could be and the dissatisfaction with where you are. That’s destiny calling your name.

@avipat_ @SemudaraAbayomi Stop lying bro, you’re just using Nigeria to farm your app. Some of you don’t do due diligence before retweeting or making comments

@SemudaraAbayomi I love the people of Nigeria again I have many friends here and will keep making our systems better but yes this is not sustainable for our platform right now. It was a tough but necessary decision for us sadly.

I am a Nigerian and I am lost for words. I am utterly dumbfounded… We are a country of over 220 million people and I can assure you that majority are honest sincere people. It’s just unfortunate that the lazy and dishonest ones amongst us continue to give us a bad name beyond the shores of the country

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

The average Nigerian thinks they are smart when they cheat the system. They’re mostly shortsighted and don’t mind the long term consequences of their actions as long as it meets their needs today.

Nigerian men are not good sports when it comes to iMessage games. Once you start winning, they’d send you 8 ball. Wicked people.

people underestimate how difficult it is to become good at something. a good software engineer is a product of lots of work put in. a great software engineer is 100x more than that. paying top market rates is the most reliable way you can start conversations with a good/great software engineer - let’s ignore other factors that transcend money and are still relevant.

With someone with my experience if you want me to lead marketing, Operations, Growth, or country manager. Na from 150k usd a year we go start from. Always wanting to pay peanuts! Because all they care about is shitty salaries and increased profits
Cinderella Man@Osi_Suave

Moniepoint CEO dey muzz me Ask him to pay global salaries he will start to stammer. That you cant find 500 people to fill roles is bullshit. He should just say he cant find people who will take a mountain of work for shitty salaries.
