If anybody tells you that marriage can not hinder your career trajectory as a woman, I want you to know that I woke up to an official rejection mail this morning and while I already knew they wouldn’t take me, it doesn’t hurt any less. The role required a flexible schedule and I really really wanted it but during the interview process, they made a comment about husbands complaining about their wives working late and I just knew.

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

Wish it wasn’t discontinued. The traditional practice of using a camel-mounted man to blow the kaakaki trumpet to welcome planes at Kano Airport (now Malam Aminu Kano International Airport) was discontinued in the early 1980s.

If you have 600k and you use it to buy Tecno or infinix then you’re not a serious person. Money that you’ll use to buy iPhone 14pro😂😂
