Children of blood and bone is full on Wakanda. It’s for Americans and not for Africans. Know this and know peace.

Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa

I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident.

Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records.

We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business.

What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%.

Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from?

The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not.

This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform.

This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy.

Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth.

We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work.

If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business.

Thank you.

os brincos lindos que a Zendaya usou tem 3 MIL anos e são do Irã e de uma coleção super rara… quem lembra do surto no MetGala quando a Kim usou um arquivo da Marilyn Monroe?

acho que agora a moda dos ícones fashions vai ser antiguidades mesmo

[acidburns @TheAcidBurns3]

Your government is testing what you'll tolerate and a lot of us are tolerating way way WAY too much.

[orisha @Adukebey__]

this is what nigerian billionaires should be doing but instead we praise billionaires for having money and doing nothing.

Last jamb was a disaster for my village youngsters. Over 70% of them failed jamb and the rest sparely passed. Rather than waiting for the government, we decided to take a different approach. We took the challenge upon ourselves for it not to repeat itself again. Every youngster in my village right now is on an intensive morning and evening drilling for next years Jamb and they undertake CBT once monthly with large pool of 16 years past questions across different subjects. In the CBT we track their performances on different topics and lays more emphasis on their weaknesses across different subject topics. One common thing we noticed is that many of the youngsters are alien to computers and can't even use a mouse nor keyboards. How were they planning to succeed in jamb when they could had probably be using a computer for the first time on Jamb day?
It's an eye opener and our mission is for all of them to score above 250. We will be paying for all their jamb exam fees and are also offering full scholarship to everyone that scores 300 and above.

@EmmaPwa93326 @Arichiyu67 @lullabystarlust She’s as African as we come. Africans are incredibly diverse, and implying she looks less African because she doesn’t fit your stereotype of an African is both ignorant and insulting. Adut and anok look nothing alike but they both represent a large number of Africans. Racist.

[orisha @Adukebey__]

she’s such a sweet softie 🥹💕

[uhuhbackagain @M_ttamara2]

Aniya is the sweetest and mature person ever omg. She apologized to KC for standing in his face even though she had reasons to! #LoveislandUSA

[orisha @Adukebey__]

@juicyysag @ulxma He doesn’t give a fuck and he doesn’t care. He never cared about her, she was only his safe bet until she wasn’t and his character showed. I need Aniya to see it for what it is, not say a word to him and simply lock in with Carl. Like a ghost , she mustn’t see him. Blanked out.

[Somie @ssomie_]

Nigeria has betrayed her young. Tufia.

..it’s time to take the phrase “male centered” away from you people. it is not “male centered” to have a dip in self-esteem after a man you’ve been dating (for lack of better words) chooses to pursue another woman on national tv and then laughs at you. y’all are on this app crying over less on the daily.

it IS “male centered” to attack a woman for how she handles a man mistreating her, instead of attacking the man for mistreating her, though. 😉

[orisha @Adukebey__]

I’m not an artist but they should call me if they ever do a tribute for Goldie . She’s something special.

[orisha @Adukebey__]

“ withheld affection “. this is pov rapists operate from. stop feeling entitled to a woman’s body. Also , he would’ve still dumped her intimacy or not.

[jamaalwvetose @jamaalwvetose]

Aniya withheld affection from KC the entire time in the villa and the audience’s response was to explain her behavior rather than examine it. The moment KC expressed frustration about receiving nothing he became the problem. That inversion is the whole dynamic being described.

[🍓🍇🍊simply, me. @Aqua_or_Bob]

such deep empathy here.

i think people who say they speak with "tough love" think they sound like this. i wonder do they feel like they've come to eye level with their friend? it usually sounds like they're speaking from a perceived "level above" their friend.

[orisha @Adukebey__]

@Houseofscilla It was genuinely scary. I was so confused cause no one was talking to her.
