Bro, no dey disappoint your chieftancy. Why you dey reason like Trump?
A social network is a valid idea but Google the almighty, the great, the all knowing and all seeing has consistently failed at it. So in your mind, all that an idea needs to survive is perceived validity?
Wait o, this tombo guy abi na tompolo guy. Wetin him do una? By the standards of the convening party(440.ng), his pitch was better than yours (I am reaching here considering the level of painment). Deal with it. Beyond, validity, you also need to be able to sell amongst other things needed to succeed as outlined in basic business 101. Go learn how to sell anything and succeed.
No, I am not working with tompolo but for the right pieces of silver, I will work with him as well as any other person.

You wey valid idea epp, you don blow?
Google has failed at it because they havenât taken it seriously or more of a project development issue not an idea issue because they can get a good team to throw at it, currently they are tryin Allo that has pulled in millions in less than few months of existence.
Because you have seen me pitch ba? and if i am it definitely pitching best believe it wont be a prayerbox, i am sorry, it remains a dumb idea and is in the Startup Graveyard and i wont mince words you can cry foul thats your cup of tea.
Again maybe you need to first look inward and ask can or will i sell online before you ask me, u can read the profile n see my image keep asking.
Its Ozombo not Tompolo last time i checked, the way you sound defensive means you either know him or are him so its up to you to deal.

So u no know say i don blow ? ah brother come and collect LASTMA Uniform
You really have no idea how incredibly hard it is to run a religion (church) based startup. Go ahead, name one successful religious startup, especially one offering an inter-denominational service? Donât even say YouVersion because a) their product is the Bible, that doesnât count and b) they are funded by a big church that has put in over $20M into the product, and they have only made about $3M since inception.
Letâs unbundle this your quote.
Because Daddy G.Os are hanging around Yaba waiting for you to come and network, abi? It takes months to get a 5 minutes meeting with some of them.
It is almost impossible to get churches to delegate their collection (or any monetary activity) to you. For starters, this will encourage spammers to pose as one of their collection agencies, Unless you build and they run it and there is no mention of your name anywhere. Even this requires you to be a verified, well connected insider.
âPastor in turnâ? Sounds like selling prayers. An impression any serious pastor hates to create. And why will a pastor bring his anointing to your platform, rather than on his own (physical church and social media) platforms?
Assuming the âG.O prays for you on Prayerboxâ model is even feasible, it cannot be a one-time thing, it has be a continuous engagement. That will make prayerbox a social network, a Christian Social Network. There are enough failed tries to prove that that doesnât work.
No. I donât know tompolo. I am not defensive. I am just wondering how infinite personal $%$%$ can be (Sorry, radar rules). I was just trying to find a nice way of not calling it out.
I have looked at your profile . Really? Is the painment that much?
So, I am supposed to shiver and be sorry? Wait o. Bros, so in your mind, printivo has blown???
Good Jesus, why do my fellow country men (apologies to others) have such incredibly low standards. Goddamit.
Definition of Blowing
Linda don blow. Period. Bash her greedy advert tactics all day but it doesnât change this fact.
Hollup, let me not be materialistic. Blowing should not always mean money.
Valid Question.
You print complimentary cards, fliers, etc. Yeah?I actually just went through your website trying to find something special that I wonât see anywhere else.
Is there any unique and propriety technology that you have developed in the process of doing this business?
What can you do at printivio that I canât get anyone else to do for me
I just googled print business cards and fliers online. Do you want me to tell you the indexed results? Wait, I will actually help you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=print+business+cards+online
Conclusion
There is nothing wrong with printivio business model but no.
You are not special.
You never blow.
Not even like knockout
*I know a lady that makes a killing via marketing akara and pap to new mothers with the aid of social media and web channels. Is she doing well, yeah. Is she making money? yeah. Does she pretend that she is the second coming that will use akara to solve our national problems? Hell No.
Lmaoooo, Again u miss the point , u sound like a guy trying to defend what is not defendable and then saying i am pained, pained of what again now? lmaoooooooooooo.
Never said it was special infact never mentioned it, u on your own tried to paint a picture that i dont know what i am saying or a JJC, u see profile you change mouth but hey the truth is simple by your words and action you are on the defensive so i ask again, Are you Ozombo part 2 or a friend, if you are Sorry try another idea we can discuss models and scaling, if not then i see no point in this.
OP raised a valid point on the need for so called Accelerators not to just open their net to get any idea just for a cohort for the PR stunt value but keep defending.
Oshey Defender of the Universe, 3 gbosa for you.
PS: LOL i will continue with my low standard , non-knockout company that has no proprietary tech that is not special, thank you very much, there is nothing more to add really, the major thing is customers keep coming to this very low tech company and im sure you know this but Customers are a business lifeblood no?
There is a reason why I picked my profile name. Google came heavily with orkut, and plus. They tried and failed. It broke my heart because I am a fanboy. Downloads are vanity metrics. The real koko is retention and DAU/WAU/MAU and Revenue.
You know nothing, Jon Snow!
This is what made me check your profile. You implied it was something very special.
Weed sellers have customers
Ashawo have customers
Hell, even my mai guard has customers at his small shop
Holy, hell! Guess what? Their customers get satisfied. The rest of the things you said are true though. If you were trying to intimidate me with your profile, then you have an incredibly low standard.
Lord_Commander talks crap online, Lord_Commander knows better than to associate said crap he says online with his company profile. Be like Lord_Commander. Just to think of the immense respect I had for Printivio before this.
Last Fight
I have always defended our boy, in whom I am well pleased, that Co-founded Andela. Does that make me a majority shareholder now? smh.
Looooooool i guess you just want to troll suddenly cos the conversation has gone very petty.
If you like go and start your prayerbox idea thats your cup of tea, never tried to intimidate anyone , u said Ozombo can pitch better i said Carry go.
We are here talking about the reason prayerbox is not so innovative, you are defending an idea that is already dead like your defense will bring it back to live.
Again if you like have no respect thats your Ego talking, like i said if you want to discuss on models and growth hit me up im always happy to chat.
Again what do Weed sellers and Prostitutes have to do with your arguments, you keep using off point analogies to try and sound smart which you dont.
So im done with the convo, you can keep defending, insulting and insinuating, it wont change anything.
Why the plenty oâs? You trying to mask the fact that you are butt hurt?
I have no interest in starting prayer box. If your comprehension skills have not helped you by now, you should know that I donât deal religion. You can defend the logic behind a product that you emotionally donât like. Sorry, if this is above you.
Dude, read up on the post title and points by OP. Donât be the uncle at the cookout that laugh why the prayer is going on and sleeps while the jokes are out. Do you seriously lack comprehension skills or is it just only on Thursdays. 440 clearly saidâŚâWE DONâT DEAL IN INNOVATIVE PRODUCTâsâ
Ego? You donât know me. You might as well be the clown that is fighting with the madman at the village square. Joke is on you. I donât give a damn about what you think you know. You should have grasped this by now.
Dude. Really? This is elementary comprehension. Wait, let me help you. You saidâŚ[quote=âFreshboi_Ekundayo, post:45, topic:8998â]

I brought the analogy because of the bolded. Are you really, really, this ____________ or English is just a problem for you?. Forgive me, perhaps English is not the lingua franca at printivo
Yeah, right. Said the guy who didnât know about Googleâs social media woes. You are incredibly smart and knowledgeable. Talking about growth metrics but spewing download numbers as proof of social success. There is a reason why companies like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all talk about active members. I canât blame you though. You print and sell fliers, cards, etc.
You getting butt hurt for receiving the same pile of see finish that you were issuing to Tompolo? Sorry, Ozombo. Itâs all fun and jokes till the spot light is on you.
You have no idea. I will sleep an extra hour on your behalf.
Note: You can keep fighting the naked madman at the village square or you can pick up your shattered sense of accomplishment and boko haramâd ego from the dusty ground then shuffle on push your trade, REALLY hammer then come back to this post and shame Lord_Commander. When that happens, I will call you Sharman (in falz voice) and respect you as the Big, Intelligent man that you so desperately crave to be addressed as.
Seamfix as a company is always going to do well, they are one of the best enterprise apps company in the country. FV is a different project entirely and the MTN project you mentioned was probably not with FuelVoucher so please donât confuse both.
Thatâs what I said Pelumi.
Seamfix is the parent company that got the MTN job. Even just got more followups this Xmas.
I have family working there. And I have family businesses using FuelVoucher.
Unless you got your own inside source saying FV isnât doing so wellâŚIf so I agree to stand corrected.
