I took a brief nap this morning, less than an hour, and within that short period, I had one of the most terrifying and dreadful dreams I have ever experienced.
This isn’t a tech post, but I feel strongly that I shouldn’t keep this to myself.
JESUS IS COMING SOON.
Whether that dream was simply a dream or a warning that God allowed me to experience, it has genuinely left me thinking deeply about my life, my relationship with God, and the things we place so much importance on.
We spend so much of our lives chasing money, success, careers, possessions and achievements. And while none of these things are inherently wrong, we should never become so consumed by them that we forget God.
So I’m putting this out there:
Repent. Draw closer to God. Seek Him while you can.
If this message reaches even one person and makes them pause and reconsider their walk with God, then I’m glad I shared it.
May God help us all.
@aakashgupta You're consciously taking out an important point on the side of the US to drive your point. Before robot dogs, there were dogs. Well trained canines to identify & suppress targets before troops move in. Yes, it comes at a price so robot dogs are an upgrade.
@EnaholoJohnson @Jimianthony23 @jassjegs And soldiers have been running away from the battlefield. I once sat with 3 soldiers on a trip from the north down to the South. 2 were running away. One was going home for the sister's marriage after luckily escaping a bokoharam ambush on a particular work movement.
@Jimianthony23 @jassjegs What's the meaning of "allegation"? Then what makes it serious? After thinking through these questions, reread what you wrote
@Stunner_Guy @Lbgobo Are changing "mouth"? I thought you said it's not possible on mobile and then trickily sought to include other networks for blame in the conversation. MTN is the biggest network in Nigeria, exploiting more with their high bills, so they should do more. We'll also call on others
@channelstv MTN = Exploit Nigerians; because Govt won't do anything for a reason we Nigerians know about.
I've never seen a company so bold in lying and exploiting the citizens without fear of repercussions.
@MadridApp_ @a1_julianna @channelstv But there's unlimited, right? That's the main point of contention which this man stood on a podium before Nigerians and lied about.
@channelstv A company with a history of lies. Is this not the company that said "Per second" billing was not possible even after Nigerians cried for years about "Per minute" billing even if the call was 2 seconds? Only to do so after Glo introduced it & also crashed the price of sim to 6999
@IdongesitUduehe You see the third and fourth paragraph, flesh and blood didn't reveal it to you. This is more pronounced if the family is rich. They'll claim he/she was the sacrifice for money rituals. The same people are coming here to form they care when their everyday actions say otherwise
@bros_j1 @lekan_olayinka1 And your comment reeks of religious blackmail with all these "fruits of the spirit" talk. You see someone hyping people through falsehood to do what God hasn't called them, as if they're being set on fire for God and I shouldn't call it out? Please give me a break.
Did you hear that Fulani boy say bandits are disturbing them in the bush? He was telling the truth. 💯
As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can never forget the third guy(Awal) we escaped with. He was a young Fulani boy kidnapped while grazing his oga’s cows. His oga paid ₦5 million ransom, yet they still refused to release him. They kept demanding more money.
For 35 days, that boy suffered in captivity with us. No proper food, no peace, only fear, hunger, torture, and uncertainty. By God’s miracle, we escaped alive together.
Bandits do not care about tribe, religion, or background. They kidnap Christians, Muslims, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Igbo anybody they can get. Pain has no tribe. Fear has no religion.
The sad truth is that Nigerians are all in deep trouble if this insecurity continues like this. 🥹💔
@ibomairlines You numerous reschedules today (at least 3) has cost me an embassy appointment. Only to be told that I have to pay to reschedule my flight. Whose fault is it? Refund my money because I will continually drag you
This! God bless you, sir
CLOWNS using the same PLAYBOOK.
Someone tagged me to this nonsense yesterday.
You banned Nigeria and called it fraud prevention. Let's be clear about what this actually is.
Your own post admits your detection system ran for months before catching a ~95% fraud rate. If your KYC is that strong, why did it take months? You don't get to announce your detection failure and then blame the country.
The 95% figure has zero public methodology. No third-party audit. No breakdown of how fraud was defined. No clarity on whether Nigerian users were flagged by the same thresholds as Malaysia or Indonesia.
You cannot cite a statistic only you can see and call it evidence.
That passport photo proves one person submitted a fake document. Not that 200 million people are fraudsters.
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
A 22 year old college dropout who built a data harvesting app and dressed it up as fair compensation for the little guy.
Look at your own investor list. K5 Global and Founders Fund have co-invested in the same portfolio companies. Founders Fund is the original institutional backer of Palantir.
Your other backer, Aglaé Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, runs an AI portfolio that intersects directly with the same labs that Palantir's AIP platform integrates with. Nobody is making wild accusations here. We are just reading the room.
FOR MY NIGERIANS WHO DO NOT KNOW
Here is what that network is actually building. Kled mobilizes hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents.
You convert raw human life into machine readable product. The labs and platforms connected to your investors then take that data and make it actionable for governments, corporations, and in some cases, military operations.
Here is why Nigeria specifically matters to this model.
The major AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win those cases, they need to prove they have clean, consented data.
Buying a dataset from a platform like Kled, where every user signed a digital consent form in exchange for a few dollars, gives billion dollar tech companies a legal free pass.
You are not disrupting anything. You are laundering consent for people with far more power than you.
And here is the part nobody is saying out loud. Imagine if a company already under fire for government surveillance and military contracts openly offered to pay people in developing countries to film their homes and daily lives. It would look exactly like what it is.
By using smaller startups as the public face, the same data gets collected, the same surveillance infrastructure gets fed, and the powerful names stay clean in the public eye.
A 22 year old dropout does not accidentally end up with this investor network. The connections around him tell a very specific story. We are just the ones reading it out loud.
This is the same playbook PayPal ran on Nigeria for years. Locked us out. Called us fraudsters. Made us third-class citizens of the internet economy. And when they finally came back, after years of Nigerian developers building workarounds and Nigerian users funding entire ecosystems without them, we had already moved on.
We didn't need them. We needed the infrastructure they refused to give us. They did not give it to us and we survived. You will try to re-enter but it will be too late.
To MY FELLOW NIGERIANS,
Every time a foreign platform exits Nigeria citing fraud, we debate the fraud. We rarely ask why a country of 220 million people with the largest developer community in Africa still does not own the servers, the data centers, or the infrastructure that defines what "legitimate" looks like online.
When you don't own your data infrastructure, someone else defines your identity. They decide what counts as fraud. They decide what counts as valid. They hold the receipt and you argue at the door.
The answer to Kled is not begging them to return. The answer is owning the pipes. Data centers. Local cloud infrastructure. Payment rails we control. Identity systems we built.
Every platform that exits us citing fraud is just showing us what it costs to not own our own infrastructure.
That bill keeps compounding. It is time we paid it differently.
So that next time, comedians like this will not have the guts to call us fraud without evidence.
@Pressman2040 @SamAmadi You couldn't even hide your bias, so you looked for a way to drag in the Obedients. Id!0ts like you are the reason why soldiers are dying or running away from duty because you will support stupidity as long as it favours you and your family
@ISeeUOSINT @visegrad24 That's because out of 1 or 2 out of 5 daily contents from @visegrad24 must be against immigrants. Even if it means tweaking the truth or singling out immigrants for vices every other person does. As if crime which I'll always condemn, is only peculiar to a group of people.
@GaryGol88424403 @jihadwatchRS Terrible decision. I remember clearly when IS overran Mali, burned down the library in Timbuktu until France intervened. During that period, I believe there was a peace agreement with the Tuaregs, only for the Govt to renege. I'm yet to see action from the propaganda rich AES.
@Trulymerian @visegrad24 You won't take responsibility for your failures, but instead you're blaming the French or West. Propaganda machines. A nation's capital has been under siege but nothing is done. Isn't it shameful for someone who forcefully took over power from democratically elected government
