One of the major reasons why E-commerce in Nigeria never works is that they're all doing everything wrong; they all try to run it like the U.S. market, which is why it flops. To run a successful e-commerce business in Nigeria, you will need to understand the Nigerian local market. I have been in the local market for more than 13 years, from managing a multi-million naira business to running mine, and here are some of the issues these e-commerce platforms don't tackle properly: 1. Time factor: How fast can I get my order? Not everyone can wait and not every order should take 3 - 7 days, because 1a. Some orders are more urgent, 1b. Certain people get anxiety from waiting for their orders and as a result of this, they decline buying online. 2. Assurance: If any issue arises how can it be resolved and how fast? Taking 10 working days to cancel/refund a user for an order (especially a pending order not yet processed) is a terrific way to handle a business. 3. Trust: Will I get exactly what I ordered? This one is very important, and it's one of the major reasons why most people don't shop online, it's why most people prefer to see what they want to buy before paying thereby choosing offline over online, and any e-commerce that can't fix this will still fail like the others. Every e-commerce tries to chase more customers, but fails at retaining the previous customers, I understand the chase for more customers (businesses are a numbers game), but what they fail to understand is that if you satisfy the current customers, they will get you more customers through word-of-mouth, and these customers will be more reliable than those gotten through ad campaigns. So instead of wasting millions on ads, reinvest those funds into improving the services rendered to them, improve the quality of products, delivery times, and resolve issues faster and more transparent, instead of vague responses such as "10-day refund is the company's policy" explain to them why. Conclusion: Though, I understand why some of these issues are there, especially issue 1 which is a result of the logistics problem, I still believe that any e-commerce company that can solve at least issues 1 and 3, will conquer the market. One commerce organization I'm betting on is Atreos (Bokku) because they're very positioned to solve issues 1 and 3, (I made a tweet about them some time ago), and if they step into e-commerce, every other e-commerce company will shut down.

one minute to appreciate this beautiful work from the @resend design team

@lollypeezle The moment the guy mentioned she took alcohol, I understood what was going on because I have experienced this, I once dated a girl who becomes wild whenever she drank alcohol (even if it was N100 sachet gin)😆.

When she’s sobbing and acting like the victim, calm down to seek the truth. These women are manipulative 🤦

@gkbalogs Lmao😂 I have a long story to tell about this.

If you’ve never taken a loan to pay an existing loan… are you even really doing business? My fellow warriors, let's mark attendance 😁😀.

This is the guy who should have a YouTube channel. I will pay for a subscription to any digital channel he decides to create content on, or for one-to-one tutoring for my kids.

Shipped something I’m SO proud of today!! :') I built our first @Oracle LiveLab with embedded FreeSQL worksheets, focused on JSON Relational Duality Views in @OracleDatabase 26ai. You can build duality views, run CRUD via JSON docs, and query nested data, all instantly in the browser 🔥 Try it out here: livelabs.oracle.com/ords/dbpm/r/li…

@TheRuqayyah 😂😂😂

@CodewithVeek Sonte merci

vibe coding in AI Studio just got a major upgrade 🚀 • multiplayer: build real-time games & tools • real services: connect live data • persistent builds: close the tab, it keeps working • pro UI: shadcn, Framer Motion & npm support we can't wait to see what you build!

I don’t know about you, but I’ll never prefer designing by firing prompts like a machine gun. I want to draw rectangles, tweak bezier curves, and polish gradients and radiuses for hours. That’s the craft I fell in love with. 🫠

We can't keep waiting for the world to bring industrial automation to Nigeria. We have to start building it ourselves. After 300+ hours of non-stop fabrication, spending more than 5kg in material, and gathering hundreds of individual components, this is the foundation of a 6-axis robotic arm built entirely from scratch. They say hardware is hard. Doing it here is even harder. But holding the pieces of what this could become is a feeling I can't quite describe. Let's see if all the math was right. Assembly begins tomorrow.

she literally explained why some people never feel lazy and how to copy them (in 2 mins)

There are reasons why building for health is untapped, some of which include insufficient data, and regulations. Medical data are extremely confidential, on top of that, if you manage to build something, the time to production would take longer because of regulations.

@d4m1n Too real🤣🤣

@CodewithVeek relevant

so why not spawn 100000 of these in parallel and become a trillionaire James

@OlaDesire__ This is "Redirected aggression", you're blaming the wrong person. No one enjoys the noise of gens, but they have no option but to use them.

Some Nigerians are very inconsiderate No matter how hot it is - leaving your gen on from 10 PM to 6 AM is just unfair

@hellochijioke @Lekanidris236 @OlaDesire__ Exactly, I hate the gen noise, but as a parent I have no option since my kid can't sleep without a fan, even though I have a reachable fan, it still doesn't last long enough, so the gen is still required to charge it to an extent.

@Lekanidris236 @OlaDesire__ People have children too who can't sleep in the heat, its not anybody's fault that we live in a failed country and many times if you ignore the noise, you will be fine. The generator house in my house is close to my window, It doesn't affect me anymore.

@richsongocrazy Na Sapa dey make person vex unnecessarily, once you hold bar, nothing fit vex you again😂

Bro, I confirm one money one time, during that period I no dey even argue with anybody, if you vex me, I go just assume say na because of say you poor na why😭

@juiceboy_of_abj Yeah, I prefer Infinix over the rest.

@CodewithVeek 100 💯 correct, tbh i was shocked when i learnt this 4 brands are owned by 1 company, the competition between techno and infinix has been massive

How old were you when you realized this companies are owned by one person? Imagine saying “ i don’t like Techno, i prefer infinix “😂💔

@bbermoto @sir_harbimz @bigbrutha_ Those are the regulations body, not a match coordinator.

@sir_harbimz @bigbrutha_ They don't. Reason you have League management and Court of Arbitration of Sports CAS, incase complaints or violations occurs.

The moment the referee restarted the game, it was back on
