I'm amplifying this because I've started seeing the usual WhatsApp broadcasts and Nairaland posts giving different versions of what is actually happening between Nigerian banks and MTN customers
punchng.com/ussd-banks-dis…

To reiterate, the problem started when Nigeria's Telco body ALTON threatened to disconnect banks from USSD services over an accumulated debt of N42bn

The banks have refused to sign off on an agreement to pass USSD charges on to customers since 2019 because they want the agreement to include "end user billing" so they can keep on collecting revenues and boosting their profit margins.

I'm sad this has to be said, but if you feel like Twitter is negatively affecting your ability to maintain healthy offline relationships, it's OK to take a break from here.

Don't become a virgin incel or a disappointed she/her at 35.

This place isn't real l, I keep saying it.

I'm happy I didn't become a heavy Twitter user until my late 20s. I spent the most important years building a career and good relationships.

And when it gets too much for me, I drop my phone and go out with friends. Life is not all about constantly fighting wars and being angry.

The late millennials and Gen Z folks here especially seem to have a problem parsing "thought provoking commentary" and "notice-me banter."

They take everything at face value. Those into red pill philosophy are becoming incels. Those into Twitter feminism are becoming caricatures

I always feel sorry for the new demographic of Nigerians porn actors who go through the hard work of breaking the mental barrier required to go into that line of work only to lock their content behind subscription paywalls.

Do you realise who your audience is?

You don't need any market research to know that the overwhelming majority of porn watchers in Nigeria are unemployed or underemployed young men.

If they could pay those subscription fees, they wouldn't be watching porn mate...

This would seem to be basic intuition🤷🏿‍♂️

Reminds me of those real estate ads for N100m houses on Instablog and TundeEdnut😂Tragic misreading of the room and a waste of effort all round.

I'd advise them to accept the reality of their market and look to build slowly for the long term using the ad revenue model.

The OGs of Twitter harassment and internet bullying are now talking about a Twitter boycott.

Same folks who use the word "gaslighting" a lot.

Of course.

Of course.

Hasn't yet been 3 months on this app when we all witnessed this exact group of people bully a girl into attempting suicide.

Hasn't been 3 weeks since some of these same folks went into Uju's DMs to laugh about SARS killing her brother.

Una dey boycott ba?

OK.

But please if you know you are not genetically unfortunate, make sure you extend that boycott indefinitely.

If you come back to Twitter, you are a bastard.

Once again I'll say it that I'm terrified of foreign analysts, organisations and journalists from developed countries who have NO NEED to compromise when dealing with Africa, but still choose to accept money feom African politicians to parrot their narratives.

Me that has never made $7,000 in a single calendar month, at my level I have never seen any need to compromise.

You'll now see dudes from DC and Marseille banking $146,000/annum basic, still choosing to accept money from Kagame, Tinubu, Indimi and El-Rufai.

You lot terrify me.

Capitalist or not, there is something in Economics called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

When you make a comfortable 5 or 6-figure USD income and you come from a 1st world country, you're meant to have scaled the 1st layer of that hierarchy (food, shelter, security).
