If we finally get an empathetic and sincere leader after these locusts, it’s then you’ll realize Nigerians are not adaptive as we assume.
They’ll demand for things they didn’t demand under the leaders that hate them.
When I look at my kids, I have 2 thoughts:
1) I have never loved anything as much as I love them.
2) I have never looked forward to 8:30PM so much in my entire life.
Tayo, this is funny and I’m shocked you don’t see it.
No one is arguing that expired KYC documents should be accepted. Of course they shouldn’t. Compliance is compliance. Documentation has to be compliant.
However, why is the default response a ban instead of a simple request for KYC update?
In situations like this, financial institutions everywhere (including Paga) will prompt you to upload a valid one.
Yet, PayPal has conveniently banned the lad. When are you going to address the elephant in your partnership room? Lol
Where I live government doesn't "give me" electricity..
Private company generates electricity and sells to people living in my province with a population of 8 million people.
But some Nigerians wants government to give them electricity with population of 250 million people 😆
Autonomous fleets can drive themselves, but they can’t operate themselves.
RoboDock builds robots that automate operations in AV depots, starting with charging and vehicle inspections.
Congrats on the launch, @nicenewgal and Zinny!

“Online Uncles and Aunties”
Daily vlogs. Personal updates. Baby registries.
But when familiarity turns to commentary, the tone changes to boundaries.
Parasocial relationships do not appear out of nowhere.
They are built.
Another scam people have normalised is capitalists selling five pots with lids and calling it a 10-piece cookware set, because apparently lids have suddenly started counting as separate cookware.
Right up there with “per person sharing,” mxxm.
I'm all for women's autonomy yes, but still women set this journey back. They say they want a BTL or hysterectomy as early as 19-20, then you do the BTL/hysterectomy the lady absolutely swears she wants and years later, she actually meets a partner, changes her mind about having kids and can sue you or go on Tiktok crying about Doctors not trying hard enough to convince her otherwise. It's not fiction, it's what plays, so you can't exactly blame Doctors for being cautious. Also doing a hysterectomy at 22 years is something you do when it's absolutely necessary because the complications can be a lot to deal with and is not something you want to put a 22 year old through, it may sound all good and fine until you have to start battling the aftermath at 32, still full of life and then you start battling chronic pain, bands and adhesions, possibility of bowel obstruction.... No Doctor thinks twice about doing it on way older women in their 50s and 60s, who would greatly benefit from it...
Venezuelan man:
“Those who say that the U.S. is only interested in our oil, I ask you:
What do you think the RUSSIANS and the CHINESE wanted here?
The recipe for arepas?"
😂😂😂
Nigerians need to understand that we do not need most of these tech. they won't fit
Especially transportation and city designs from ancient cities in Europe and America. We don't need them
These cities were designed for horses.
Only the middle class and rich had horses.
So most of the population had to live in clusters where they could get to on foot.
Trams, subways, etc etc were corrections and improvements to the horse-designed infrastructure.
This is why I also say, Abuja as a city does not need a metro. the roads are good enough. Just finish up the roads in the plan and work on last mile infra.
Building a subway in a place like Abuja will be the dumbest thing ever to do. It has no use and most of Nigeria is like that.
Non-horse-designed cities that can do something better and less clumsy.
WTF will I have tram cables and machinery passing beside a building in a residential/commercial area
As an Emirati Muslim, because of the diversity in the UAE, I’ve celebrated Christmas with my Christian friends when I was younger and I’m still Muslim.
Those same Christian friends have celebrated Ramadan and Eid with me and they’re still Christian.
Being present socially does not mean you agree with the theology behind it.
Respect is not belief. Confidence in faith doesn’t disappear because you shared a moment with someone different
Let me explain exactly why VLC is free despite 6B downloads, because no one seems to get it.
VLC doesn’t make money because making money would destroy the only thing that made it reach 6 billion downloads in the first place.
The player grew through a specific distribution loop: tech-savvy users install it once, it works perfectly on every weird video file they throw at it, and they recommend it to everyone forever. IT departments deploy it across entire companies. A Reddit comment from 2009 still drives downloads in 2025 because the answer never changed.
That recommendation engine dies the second ads appear. Not slowly. Immediately.
The users who drive VLC’s distribution are the exact people who understand what ads mean. Your incentives just switched from “make the best player” to “maximize impressions.” They see it, stop recommending it, and your growth engine shuts off.
Run the actual numbers. VLC gets maybe 50 million active users daily across 6 billion total downloads. Typical video player ad rates run $1-3 CPM. Even if you served ads on every playback session, you’re looking at maybe $50-150 million annually at absolute peak optimistic assumptions.
Sounds like a lot until you realize what Kempf actually traded it for.
VLC reaching 6 billion people made Kempf the person who built the infrastructure everyone depends on. He runs a video consulting business. He built dav1d, an AV1 codec that powers modern streaming. Being “the guy who kept VLC free” opens every door in video technology. Clients pay him to solve problems because he proved he optimizes for quality over quick monetization.
“Former ad-supported media player executive” gets you exactly zero of that leverage.
The people celebrating Kempf’s ethics are missing the calculation. He didn’t sacrifice millions for principles. He rejected $150M in highly uncertain ad revenue to build permanent positioning worth multiples of that in everything else he touches.
VLC free generates more value for Kempf than VLC monetized ever could. The trade was never even close.
Growing up, I was everyone's favourite.
People will call me to send me errands because I would do it well and also, bobo na fine boy.
Until one day I came home with a bad report card and my pman was very annoyed..
While flogging me in frontbof my brothers, he said "You will be smiling like person wey eat sugar, 😆 everyone would be calling you like you are the only child in the neighbourhood"
Since that day, I stopped smilling
I would frown my face like I'm quarrelling someone
It took me years to get back my smile,,,,,,
Words and action can totally kill a child's morale especially if done in public.
People are still marrying men sha despite all the god awful things that men do.
All feminism has requested from you and everyone else who choose to be obtuse is to respect women and their rights. It’s actually that simple.
If you marry a feminist, you will regret the day you were born!
All the feminists I know who got married in the 2000s and 2010s are now abroad with their children while their husbands are in Nigeria.
They claim it was not a divorce, yet, they left one by one and didn't look back.
Once he or she identifies as a feminist, DON'T MARRY him or her.
Ideologies inform belief systems and behavioural patterns
@_aaronmylove -realizing that feminism isn’t governed by 3 women on an app
-realizing that there’s still one depraved person in all of this and it’s a man.
