Opay is trending because PayStack has literally created their own Opay but for people who think Opay normally, is Razz. They called it ZAP. But there are a few problems.. It does the same things Opay does, but slower. Connects multiple accounts to one, fast transfers in 30 seconds....

DeFi is quietly stealing the spotlight from CeFi. BTC staking is creating a buzz. AI agents are working around the clock to maximize returns. Cross-chain advancements are opening doors to untapped liquidity. In other words...The financial landscape is transforming faster than ever. How are you positioning yourself for this shift?

Opay = fast local transactions and some nice financial features. Also can be opened from the comfort of your home. Order your card online. Grey & Cleva = foreign bank accounts and US Mastercard. Save in dollars. Receive and send. Lemfi, Afriex & Pesa = receive $$$ from abroad

So Paystack looked at Opay, Moniepoint, Kuda & Palmpay and said, ‘Let’s do the exact same thing… but with a new name?’ 😂💀 At this point, is it fintech or photocopying? Why do we fear creating something NEW? The world rewards innovators, not imitators.

Before I opened a business account with OPay a few years ago when they were new, a friend of mine kept telling me they don’t trust the bank. My motivation was based on speed of transaction and charges. My friend said the bank will vanish soon. It’s been close to 7 years now and that my friend is also using OPay with me because we both do bulk transfers. I don’t know how OPay have done it to be honest. Getting the trust of Nigerians is harder than anything but they did it. Kudos to them tbh. #OPayIsOkay

So, OPay just got the NDIC insurance upgrade not too long ago, meaning your cash is now covered up to a whopping 5 million Naira! Your money on OPay is now as safe as it is in those fancy bank accounts! Yes, you heard right. This is not small change. It’s a big deal. OPay is officially playing in the same league as the big banks when it comes to protecting your funds. This is a major win for all of us. Why the sudden upgrade? NDIC decided to show some love and bumped up the insurance cover for mobile money users. We’re talking about a serious boost in protection. So, Relax. Your money is safe with OPay. It’s like having a personal bodyguard for your cash and I’m glad there’s a game-changing move in the fintech space!

“PalmPay Is About To List On a Stock Exchange In China, Following a Similar Path To OPay. Millions Of Nigerians Helped Build These Fintech Platforms Into Household Names Through Daily Use And Trust. But When It Comes Time To Go Public, The Listings Are Happening Outside Nigeria. OPay Listed In America, And Now PalmPay Is Looking Toward China. This Has Sparked Debate About Why Nigerian Users Help Drive The Growth Of These Companies Yet Have Little Or No Opportunity To Invest In Them Through The Local Stock Market.”

Wallahi idan ba ceton Ubangijiba she can never win this case, Amma, keep gaslighting OPay and its shareholders. She made the post around 12 PM, and within 1–2 hours, multiple people called her attention to what she had posted. Yet, she refused to take it down. Instead, she spent the next 18–20 hours defending the post despite repeated warnings from people who understood the potential consequences. And now you expect OPay and its shareholders to simply let it go or not pursue the matter? She eventually deleted the post only after the wildfire she had created became impossible to control. The post had already crossed 2 million views in a day, and the information had spread far beyond her original audience. Haba. At what point do we stop pretending there were no consequences to what happened? And if you want to understand how seriously OPay is taking this matter, ask about Akinfolabi Moses Rokosu, the legal expert representing OPay.

🇷🇺 PUTIN: "These people are not even atheists. Atheists are also people who believe in something. They believe that there is no God, but this is their belief, their conviction. And these are not atheists, these are people without any faith at all, who believe in nothing. They are ethnic Jews, but who has seen them in a synagogue? I don't think anybody's seen them in a synagogue. They seem to be non-Orthodox, because they do not go to church either. They are definitely not followers of Islam, because they are unlikely to be seen in a mosque. These are people without a tribe and without a family. They do not care about what is dear to us and to the vast majority of the Ukrainian people."

Aviator is trending because fintech, Opay added the popular addictive Sportybet crash-betting game directly in their bank app, allowing users gamble directly from their savings. Nigerians find it ridiculous, unacceptable and unprofessional. However, after thousands of complaint, within 10hrs Opay removed it. Despite the complaints, at its peak, over 38k people were playing it, via Opay. Aviator, built by Georgian David Natroshvili in 2018, is the world’s most popular live casino crash-betting game, developed under his company, SPRIBE, and introduced to the Nigerian market by popular operator SportyBet. It currently records 77 million monthly active players, with ~3million players daily, processing €467M bets daily, €14bn monthly and about €168bn annually, with atleast 400,000 bets iprocessed per minute. After building the game in 2018, David and his partner, Nick, sought to raise €150,000 for a 15% stake. They went to an iGaming conference in London in 2019 with just a prototype on a tablet, pitching Aviator to betting operators, who all rejected it. Although, they already had a local customer, Adjarabet, the company eventually loaned them €150,000 to keep the product running. This propelled Aviator’s growth, and they repaid the loan within six months. They then landed Maltese betting giant EveryMatrix. Today, SPRIBE is reportedly worth over $1 billion. Now David says he’d have regretted if he lost 15% for €150k. Aviator; addictive, exciting and damaging. Follow Trending Explained for daily explanations!

There are a lot of Black people that are out to better and whiten the race, but no one ever calls them out on it, yet they go around demonizing Latino and a bunch of other groups for doing the same thing, I'm starting to think they are mad because they are late to the race mixing party, and all the stuff that they preach about their racial purity is just a bluff!

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are missing the point: "Putting aside all the very creepy things they are saying around this, the thing they want to avoid talking about is the real reason people aren't having kids. It's a simple reason, and it's probably the reason for most of the problems in our society right now: income inequality is so vast that most people in this country do not have the means to support children. They can barely afford their own housing and their own food, and now we're expecting them to have a whole bunch of kids. People don't have money, and the people in power are too afraid to admit it because they are the ones extracting that wealth from the people and causing those problems."

This is so wrong! It’s time for FEMA and RED CROSS to be exposed for what they are! Do not donate anything to them. Send it to the churches in NC and TN so people in need actually get help. This is the same thing that happened in Lahaina! Supplies sent but the people didn’t get them.

.David Deutsch on why the people in favor of regulating AI are wrong: “They look at problems and they think they’re insoluble because they haven’t been solved, and therefore they want to prevent the progress that is going to cause the problems. Now, generically, what that will do is it will make the progress happen in the wrong place. It will happen among people who do not obey the regulation, and those people are people who are alienated from the best culture, and they will then become a danger to the best culture. Now, I’m speaking in general terms about progress—progress in computing and so on—but I think this particular thing you’ve mentioned is actually not going to be that much of a danger. AGI (artificial general intelligence) will present a whole load of new problems which will have to be solved, no doubt with the help of AGI. But AI, the kind of thing we have now with ChatGPT and that kind of thing, which is amazingly and increasingly useful and is going to have unpredictable effects on society—most of them good—isn’t anything profound. It’s no different from having a calculator or a slide rule.”

I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.

“When people were saying in the testimony, that the hope they have is that what happened here 30 something years ago will never happen again. It won’t, not because those who were responsible for that dark past will not try again or are not even trying now again. It will not happen again just because there will be people who will stand up and fight. It’s not because there are fewer people who wish for us to perish or who would have wished for this country to disappear. How can people accept that? What kind of people do not stand up and fight? There is a risk of dying when you stand up and fight but if you don’t, it’s a sure thing: you are going to die. So why don’t I try to stand up and fight with the chance that I might survive and live life as I want it, instead of giving up and you let people treat you as if for you to live, it is a favour that they are going to do for you. Why? But my message goes to other Africans who live like this on a daily basis, who are dehumanized and they accept it and they beg. I can't beg to live. I can't beg anybody. We’ll fight, If I lose, I lose. But there is a chance. There is a chance, a significant chance, that if you stand up and fight, you will live. And you will have lived a dignified life that you deserve, that anybody else deserves." President Kagame | #Kwibuka31

Here’s what the communication was like after Helene hit WNC. It’s beyond horrible, and these people still need so much help. So many there believe they have been forgotten. That’s so sad. There are people in our state and federal government who need to see the inside of a jail cell for a long time. Do you think it’s a coincidence that there is land the government wanted, and it just so happens that this same land gets flooded? Problem solved…All the people who wouldn’t sell are not a problem now. They are either gone or everything they owned is gone with no way to rebuild. COINCIDENCE?

Nigerians do not love home. That is the honest truth. They talk about Nigeria with pride, but they will not live there. They will not fight for it. They will not build it. They love the flag, but they flee the soil. This is a big problem not just for Nigeria, but for everywhere they go. They bring their dysfunction, their entitlement, and their refusal to take responsibility. South Africa, the UK, the US, Canada, everywhere Nigerians go, they bring the same chaos they are running from. It is time to be honest. Nigerians need to love home enough to stay, to fight, and to build. Until then, they will remain a problem not just for themselves, but for the whole world. 🇿🇦✊🏾

The uncomfortable truth is that some beliefs are held for the same reason some people buy Rolexes: they look good in public. In the same way that many people buy expensive material possessions, not because they especially like the possession itself, but because they know it will impress other people, there are people who express luxury beliefs not simply because they believe them, but because they know those beliefs will bring them clout and status. So the motivation behind the luxury good and the luxury belief is often very similar. But many people convince themselves that their motives are completely sincere. Take a guy who buys a Lamborghini. If you ask him why he bought it, he might say, “Look, it makes me feel confident. I like driving it. It makes me feel good. That’s why I bought it. I’m not trying to impress anyone.” And I think part of you might suspect, “Well, all of that may be true. But I also think part of you likes the fact that when people see you in that Lamborghini, they think of you in a certain way.” The same thing can happen with luxury beliefs. People may sincerely believe what they are saying. But part of me thinks that, somewhere deep down, there is also a sense of satisfaction that comes from expressing a belief and having your peers, your social circle, and other similarly credentialed elites applaud you for it. They think, “What a compassionate, interesting, sophisticated person you are for holding that view.” A belief can be sincerely held while also conferring status to the speaker.

One decision can change the entire course of your life.
