Imagine selling your birthright for a pot of soup 🍲
this is a very slippery slope.
the yoruba say: “ikún ń jẹ ọ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀, ikún ń rèdí, ikún ò mọ̀ pé ohun tó dùn ń pani.” the squirrel eats bananas and wiggles its backside, unaware that the sweet thing it is enjoying will eventually kill it.
sinomart opened an outlet here in ibadan about two weeks ago, and my first impression was similar: if this continues unchecked, it will push many local traders out of business.
your argument might work in a sane country whose leaders have a long-term plan for protecting local businesses and building domestic capacity. that is not the country we live in.
these companies have the capital, scale, supply chains and financial muscle to sell at prices most local businesses cannot compete with. meanwhile, our traders are already battling expensive power, poor access to credit, foreign exchange problems, multiple taxes and terrible logistics.
the government should be introducing local-sourcing requirements, enforcing competition rules and restricting foreign dominance in areas that should sustain local businesses. but i doubt any of that interests them as long as taxes are being paid.
so yes, this is a foolishly short-sighted take. the cheaper products may feel good today, but in a few years, we may look back and realise how many businesses, jobs and entire sections of our local economy we handed over in exchange.

The Naija boys building AI tools in Yaba today are the ones USCIS will be approving in 2030.
Start the paper trail now.
It takes little or nothing to clone a piece of software from scratch, but it takes everything to build a successful business moat out of that software.
Hope this helps.

14k visitors?? It's either the problem you solved wasn't painful enough, or the solution you built wasn't worth paying for.
Stop validating your ideas with AI
I validated my first SaaS with ChatGPT and put too much trust in GPT
I spent 2 months building the SaaS. It ended up getting 14K+ visitors and made $0 in revenue
AI often gives answers in your favor because it’s trained that way

Tech is addictive.
Once you taste the feeling of fixing something that was broken for hours, you're never the same.

If you are seeing this tweet congratulations, as it's time to understand @Upwork algorithms
Course Title: Understanding Upwork's algorithm and ranking your profile
I'll try to make this as simple as possible. Kindly retweet, so others can learn.
If you have been struggling with landing clients, scaling your freelance business or rank your profile on upwork, this thread is for you
The first thing to understand is how the platform works. Fortunately, @Upwork has done the hard work for you. Understanding how upwork
connects talents and opportunities is important to start and scale your freelance career.
Upwork has (what I think is the best explanation) a video on this on their YouTube channel
See it here m.youtube.com/watch?v=ojjFmN…
2. Proposal writing
Again, upwork highlights what buyers are looking for when they post jobs on their platform. This might look basic but it's the differentiating factor between those making $1k/month and others struggling with $100. If you have a solid presence on upwork, you might not need this aspect (Jobs through invitations are the better).
Again, upwork has some game-changing resources on this topic. Read it here upwork.com/resources/how-to-…
3. I have reviewed more than a hundred descriptions by freelancers using the upwork's catalog features. Majority of them are off the mark. I do not invent anything

I built an AI system that replaces an entire e commerce website!
I was called for it! studied the entire store...then built a system that search products, negotiate prices, handle deliveries, understands up to 3 languages in voice, and even handles payments...

Poverty would steal money, good health, happiness, and good times from you and have you pay heavy interest to have them. 💔💔
