NFTs got a bad reputation when everything became about hype. What interests me about the Wingston collection from @RallyOnChain is that it's tied to an ecosystem people are already using.
It's a free mint, but the value goes beyond collecting. Wingston holders will be able to stake for daily RLP rewards, access the VIP Rally community where exclusive opportunities happen, and receive a Rally Score boost.
The whitelist process is also refreshingly simple. Join 3 Rally campaigns, reach the top 420 on the weekly leaderboard, and follow Rally on X.
You're not just chasing a whitelist spot. You're participating in campaigns, earning rewards, and building your position in the ecosystem at the same time.
If you're active on Rally already, I'd start here: https://t.co/nWjET93HZk
Everyone is dropping suggestions based on what they think. But fortunately, Islam has recommended a way that nobody is paying attention to, that way is ZAKAT. Y'all should go and educate yourselves on zakat, that's the best way to eradicate poverty.
The atmosphere at the Holy Kaaba as Sheikh Abdurahman Sudais led the Tahajjud prayer. What a serenity and devotion as hundreds of thousands of hearts stood in worship, hoping to witness the mercy and blessings of Laylatul Qadr. ๐คฒ๐ฝ๐
there one day. We only need to keep up building our world standard vehicles that speak for themselves.
Just my little contribution.
Do have a great day sir.
Financial buoyancy determines people's choice when purchasing. People who buy 5yrs+ used cars will opt for the brand new of those same brands when they finally hit it big. Those brands are data backed and their reliability can be measured and evaluated with reasonable accuracy...
A simple and verifiable fact: a brand new, decent car, regardless of brand, will almost always be more reliable in its first few years than a used car that is already six or more years old.
This is not unique to cars. It is true of almost every type of machinery.
Many Nigerians understand this instinctively when it comes to generators. A new generator, even from a modest brand, will usually be far more reliable in its early years than a fairly old one, no matter how reputable that brand is.
So when conversations about used cars versus new cars become overly emotional, it helps to return to this basic reality.
Personally, I always advise our sales and marketing team not to spend energy trying to convince people who strongly prefer older used cars. They are simply not the target market for brand new vehicles. Introduce them to our vehicles, invite them to our events, and let them see how impressive the vehicles are, but do not pressure them to buy.
In every part of the world, buying a brand new car is not just a financial decision. It is also a mental one. You have to reach a point where you tell yourself that you deserve the experience of owning and driving something new.
In Nigeria today, the most natural market for brand new vehicles, whether assembled locally or imported from places like China, is people who currently buy fairly recent used cars, typically between one and five years old.
Those who buy vehicles older than five years should not be pressured. Many of them will eventually move up over time through personal growth, improved financing access, or simply a stronger economy.
My own small contribution to that future is continuing to build manufacturing businesses and expand auto financing so more people can gradually access brand new vehicles.
Until then, it is important that we have these conversations with realism and respect for where people are in their journey.
performed many crash tests over years to further reinforce trust in their brands. It's not surprising that people tend to go for their year long used vehicles rather than a brand new "made in Nigeria" model. With more financing for indigenous auto brands, I believe we'll also get
