This $400 billion company spends $0 on advertising.
They LOSE money on purpose & they make 130 million people PAY just to enter their shops.
Even Warren Buffett calls it his "biggest investment regret."
Here's the fascinating story behind America's most loved retailer 🧵:
FISAYO SOYOMBO IS NOT THE OIL THIEF, RELEASE HIM NOW!
Fisayo Soyombo, a thoroughbred investigative journalist is not the oil thief. The @HQNigerianArmy tagging him an oil thief and detaining him, is another low for the Army that has collaborated with oil crooks and failed the nation.
Soyombo is doing his job exposing crooks in the country. He has been more effective in his job than the Military that has for years now collaborated with oil thieves to milk our commonwealth.
The Army would continue to dent her image with the illegal arrest and detention of a journalist. How they tagged me a “fake news peddler” when I broke the news of the death of General Lagbaja is still fresh in the minds of Nigerians. The Army must retrieve their battered image and release Soyombo now!
@Toyosibash1@leyeConnect @KlashaApp They have held my fund since February 2024, up till now, they are not ready to do my refund. The mistake I made was to use them for IHS payment, I regret using their virtual card.
Glorious Babatunde & Shola Akano, were both detectives of the Kwara State Police Command.
In one of their work, they bursted a car theft network in Dec 2018.
Shortly after, they were dismissed.
You know who was Kwara State CP then? Yes, your current IGP, Kayode Egbetokun

@Morris_Monye Men should also learn to treat their wives right from Nigeria to the abroad. A loved and respected wife won't be a burden to her husband in any ways. Let me learn to protect their wives against family insults and unhealthy influences. Most Nigerian women are unhappy in their home
Daily Nigeria reporter, Umar Audu went undercover and investigated the booming business, bagged Cotonou varsity degree in 6 weeks, participated in NYSC scheme.
In December 2022, the reporter reached out to a racketeering syndicate that specialises in selling the infamous degree certificates from the neighboring countries to willing buyers at an ‘affordable rate’.
The agent however told the reporter the option of “studying” for a year or month, but he opted for the month option.
“That’s not a problem; we can help. If the money is ready, we can help you out. We have done it for a lot of people. If you make the payment now, the results will be ready next month,” he assured.
The choice of mass communication from any “university” in Cotonou was premised on the fact he could easily scale through the screening as he had knowledge of the course.
The agent gave the reporter the breakdown of the amount to pay, which included tuition fees, an evaluation letter, a resident permit, immigration stamps at the border post and transportation.
On December 27, 2022, the reporter made the payment and was issued a payment receipt.
True to the agent’s words, the certificate and transcript of Ecole Superieure de Gestion et de Technologies, ESGT, Cotonou, Benin Republic, were delivered to his office on February 17, 2023.
The transcript indicated that this reporter commenced the institution in 2018 and graduated on September 5, 2022.
Unfortunately, there was a slight mistake on the transcript, so it had to be transported back to Cotonou for correction, and one month later, the corrected version was received on March 29.
Prior to that, the reporter was never issued an admission letter or knew about the school the agent was processing for him.
All the agenct said was, “don’t worry, everything will be sorted out.”
Like miracle, our reporter “finished” the four-year degree programme in less than two months without application, registration, studying, writing exams or crossing Nigerian border.
But despite having the certificate and transcript in his possession, the reporter had fears they could be fake, until he discovered a scan code placed on the left bottom of the transcript. And when the reporter scanned through, it directed him to the website of ESGT University, indicating that he is a genuine product of the institution.
On its website, ESGT, established in 2009, said, “It is an institution built upon a vision that enables individuals from a mix of different nationalities and cultures to get the best in undergraduate and postgraduate international education.”.
The institution is fully accredited by both the governments of the Benin Republic and Nigeria. It offers over 30 courses in management sciences, social sciences, applied and natural sciences as well as technology.
It was gathered that the racketeering agents in Nigeria work hand-in-hand with the top management of the university campus in Cotonou, whose registrar and English section coordinator are Nigerians.
After payment of additional money through the agent, the evaluation letter was eventually released. The letter is a mandatory requirement for NYSC mobilisation.
In separate letters dated May 25 and 26, addressed to the director general of the National Youth Service Scheme, NYSC, the Federal Ministry of Education confirmed that the ESGT is on the ministry’s list of accredited institutions.
The letter, which was signed on behalf of the minister by the deputy director of Evaluation and Accreditation, Koli Salihu-Mongodiba, also cleared 51 ESGT graduates to participate in the NYSC, “having met all the requirements set by the ministry”.
“The institution is on the ministry’s list of accredited institutions in Benin, and the bachelor degrees awarded to the students as indicated on the attached list are equivalent to bachelor degrees awarded by any Nigerian university in a similar field of study,” the letter read in part.
@Naijasinglegirl You are absolutely right on this, @EGYPTAIR was a nightmare. No points of yours can be discredited. I have made up my mind to never ever use them again.
