This is the country we are in, imagine Abia state is where you see this kind of data.
INEC Nigeria are playing with the intelligence of Nigerians.
No one should accept this election result if nothing is done. Rigging industry.

After selling PayPal, Elon Musk walked away with $180 million. Instead of keeping the money, he put almost all of it into two companies: Tesla and SpaceX.
He believed in both companies. But six years later, that decision had brought him close to losing everything.
SpaceX had failed three rocket launches. Tesla was losing millions of dollars. The economy was facing its worst crisis since the Great Depression. And, on top of everything else, Musk was going through a divorce.
Years later, he would describe that period as the worst year of his life.
Things had become so bad that a documentary called Revenge of the Electric Car captured what was happening inside Tesla.
The factory was full of cars with problems that could not be delivered to customers. Musk walked through the building, explaining that every month was costing the company tens of millions of dollars.
Tesla needed more money to survive.
So Musk turned to investors, hoping they would help keep the company alive. But instead of offering support, some became angry that he had even asked. They refused to give him money.
At that point, his situation was even worse than being broke because he was in debt.
Then came the Sunday before Christmas in 2008.
Musk woke up feeling that he was close to a nervous breakdown. He had never imagined that he could reach such a point.
And Tesla was not his only problem.
SpaceX was also running out of money. The company had just one rocket launch left to prove that its technology could work. Another failure, would have meant the end of SpaceX.
Then, against all odds, the fourth launch worked perfectly.
But the good news did not stop there.
That same week, NASA called with a contract worth $1.6 billion.
He was so overwhelmed with happiness that he told the NASA team, "I love you guys."
Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tesla's investors finally agreed to put more money into the company.
In just three days, two unexpected events had given Musk's companies another chance to survive.
He got divorced that same year, and married again in 2010.
Last week, Tesla showed off a new Roadster, performing flips through the air.
It was a car from the same company that had once brought Musk to the edge of financial ruin.
Back then, he was struggling to keep Tesla alive. Its factory was filled with cars that could not be delivered, investors were turning him away, and the money was running out.
Now, the company was showing off a car that seemed to belong in a science fiction movie.
The same business that once threatened to destroy him had become part of the future he was trying to build.

Meet Zhou Yahui, the founder of Opay.
He is a 49-year-old Forbes billionaire.
He is worth $1.7 billion.
And the company he runs in Nigeria, Indonesia, Egypt, and Pakistan where Opay operates is a profitable one.
Opay revenue this year, from January to June this year, is $467.1 million in the six months ended June 30 with a profit of $90.9 million, N127 billion when you convert to Naira.
Opay makes money from digital payments and lending money (loans) to customers.
Opay's biggest market is Nigeria, as the company makes 88.1% of revenue (nearly 50 million active users from Nigeria’s market), followed by
• Indonesia: 9.9% of revenue
• Egypt: 1.6% of revenue
• Other Markets (e.g., Pakistan): 0.4% of revenue
According to Frost & Sullivan, Opay is the largest processor of digital payment and transfer in Nigeria.
Opay processed 53.5 billion transactions in the first six months of 2026.
Also, Opay processed digital transactions worth $339.1 billion in the first six months of 2026.
Let me share why what Opay is doing is very impressive by comparing their profit after tax this year with the two Nigeria’s biggest banks, GTB and Zenith.
Profit (after tax) in the first six months of 2026 of 3 Nigerian financial institutions
Zenith Bank—N430 billion
GTCO—N414 billion
Opay—N127 billion
Revenue in the first six months of 2026
Zenith Bank—N1.9 trillion
GTCO—N1.1 trillion
Opay—N653 billion
Opay is an 8-year-old bank, while GTCO and Zenith Bank are both 36 years old.
Incredible.
Last year, Opay made N745 billion in revenue and a profit of N100 billion in 2025.
Opay is about to list on the New York Stock Exchange, and so, Standard Bank, the South African group that owns Stanbic IBTC, will invest $200 million into OPay as the fintech gets ready to list in New York.
This is a reminder of how far Opay has come and also a validation of what they are building.
Proud of everyone at Opay and a reminder that you can just do things.
We will get there with time let's watch @conxapp as it soars higher.

At the NDC Governorship Candidate declaration rally at Enugu State today.
They were attâcked and people injured.
Why always attácking #NDC members Nation wide?
Why always attácking opposition party members in Enugu state too?
After this post PPRO of Enugu State Nigeria Police Force, Daniel Ndukwe might say arrest this journalist for posting this instead of arresting those behind this......
Shame to all Enugu state youths supporting this ugly incident

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) is proposing new rules that would subject businesses using artificial intelligence, machine learning and automated technologies for marketing to additional regulatory requirements in Nigeria.
Under the draft Sales Promotion Regulations, 2026, businesses using AI for sales promotions, marketing communications or consumer engagement directed at or accessible to Nigerian consumers would be required to register with the Commission.
The proposed framework, released on September 30, 2026, also introduces tougher financial penalties for breaches, with corporate entities facing fines of up to N100 million or 1% of their previous year’s turnover, whichever is greater.
When you see this kind of regulation, you will know that this is a country that it's primary objective is to impoverish it's own people. Which kind of regulation is this? You don't support the people and get you want to collect the little the people have to survive with?
Meaning that you pay to use product of the AI credit you bought with your money?
May God help us.

Is only poor and stupid people that post this kind of thing to oppress others. Rich and sensible people won't ever post this because in their personal account, they might have like 50k but assets and businesses is what they boast with.
The rich don't have such amount in their account to avoid taxation but their businesses and assets might be worth billions and gives reasonable returns.

Just in case you don’t understand.
The health deal that Ghana rejected yesterday, Nigeria signed theirs into law in 2025.
It is worth $1.5 billion.
You don’t even know what is in that bill that they signed.
Well, as you already know, the poorer you are, the more they sell you.
You can’t do anything.
The Ghanaian government rejected it because they have a functioning government and functioning people who should be there
a functioning system that allowed them to go through the process and see what these guys wanted to do with Nigerians and Ghanaians medically.
And they rejected it.
That is why we beg you: please, don’t be poor.
So that you can be able to determine your fate when it matters.
America I know can never give you something for free.
God forbid.
It’s impossible. 😂
Poverty is a serous disease

A Nigerian CTO, Felix Ike of Moniepoint, has just landed on TIME’s inaugural Executives of the Year list.
Fifty executives from some of the biggest names in global tech and business—OpenAI, Anthropic, Netflix, Goldman Sachs and more and a CTO building from Lagos is right there with them.
Despite fewer resources, less capital, unstable power and an FX market that tries you every quarter, Felix is still competing on a global stage.
That is not luck. That is what happens when you do good work at scale.
Congratulations Felix
