Time to catch some z's

It's 10.40 p.m.. Today was okay, though I've definitely had better days. My offline business wasn't great today, so I'll leave it at that. My online work was a bit slow too, but I know those days happen. I saw a video today about how Uber expanded into different countries with driver bonuses. According to the video, when they launched in Nigeria, people found ways to exploit the system, and the bonuses were eventually cancelled. You know, whether every detail is exactly as told or not, it got me thinking about how scams can make things harder for honest people. It can affect how people abroad see us, and even how smooth things like payments or opportunities work for us. I really hope we keep pushing for a reputation that rewards integrity, because hard-working, honest Nigerians deserve better. Have a great night, everyone.

It's such an unfair stereotype, since scammers come from many countries. We have quite a few here in the U.S. I hope you have a better prosperous day tomorrow.

Have a good sleep! It must be so frustrating to be from a country that everyone thinks is full of scammers. Glad to know not everyone is that way.

Yeah..we can't stereotype everyone just because some people are dubious..it's like saying all Africans are dark..that's not true

Do you have any idea how Nigeria became so linked to scammers? I’ve never heard anyone explain it, but it seems to be an unfair stereotype.

The economy is bad because the government is corrupt. Getting jobs is not easy..making money is not easy because of the harsh environment.. people want to live a good life..so , they resort to scamming other people..that's my thought. If our government is transparent and the economy is good, I think people won't have any reason to scam. They just wanna live a good life like other people in developed nation. It does not make scamming a good thing though

I think Uber got a problem with our country, but what we are using right now is grab.
