Business opportunity here.

[Atletico Universe @atletiuniverse]

2030. €490m. No one forced him to sign it with his right hand.

Goodnight 😘

Nothing toxic here, LaLiga release clause is so simple it’s the most fair system, u jst agree personal terms with the player and go pay the release clause to LaLiga bank account and get your player, the player’s club gets left holding a bag of sand, you don’t need to say anything to them, we did it with Tomas Partey and left Atletico crying alone, we did it with Zubimendi and left Sociedad in good faith, PSG did the same with Neymar, what’s stopping Barcelona from paying the release clause if they really want Alvarez?

[Namuwongo Blazers @Namblazers]

It’s just a suggestion! 😅

Due to public demand, we’re thinking of starting the trophy parade in Kamwokya and ending it in Namuwongo.

THIS!!!!!

Angolan banking system is already more sophisticated than regular mobile money approaches, and this is why mobile money did not gain the same traction in angola 🇦🇴

Kudos to Airlink for stepping in where SAA no longer can.

I don't want to sound negative but I don't see us being able to pull any of this off in Uganda yet.

We simply don't have that kind of discipline.

M-PESA is indeed operating on very shaky ground.

When true instant interbank transfers (1 second or less) and tap-and-go payments (phone to PDQ) properly land in Kenya, M-PESA is done.

M-PESA wouldn’t cut it in Europe: too slow, outdated, and cumbersome.

[MR. HiMSELF @pushinM15]

They didn't do their research.

The 2020 Oliver Wyman Digital Bank Index scored South Africa 4.8 out of eleven countries measured, second only to Singapore's 5.3, sitting ahead of Spain, Switzerland, Germany, the USA, the UK, France and Italy, well above the study's average of 4.2.

Our banks posted 7.3 for sales capability, the highest score any country recorded in the whole study, beating even Singapore's own 6.4.

Now ask why Vodacom's M-Pesa never worked here. It launched in Kenya in 2007, into a country where roughly eight in ten adults had no bank account, so it filled a real gap.

That gap grew into a service that now moves value worth about four times Kenya's own GDP every year. Vodacom brought the identical model to South Africa in 2010, chasing 10 million users.

By the time the service shut down in 2016, only 76,000 of the million people who signed up were still active.

That was never a marketing failure. It was a company trying to sell a bank account to a country where three out of four adults already had one, a card in their wallet and a branch down the road.

If I were auditioning for the role for a government official embroiled in a conspiracy and he walked in the room, I’d just walk right out.

Gravenberch is not a DM, please go and get a proper DM before the window closes. Frimpong can’t be our first choice RB, and we need a top winger. This is not negotiable, it’s a must, cos we stole a pt today. Could be worse tho could be Man Utd and lose 2-0 to Hull 🤣🤣🤣 #NEWLIV

Only after Newcastle’s next match will you realize how bad we really are

This midfield cannot work, I said it before a competitive ball was kicked.
