I’ve learnt so much from this forum. Please review your comments and pull out some.
A quick search for the phrase “John Agwu Zoranga” shows that since January, you’ve either been writing articles that talk about the company, or chasing down articles written by others to shower praise.
This is your first post on Radar and you’re at it already. You should know it wouldn’t hurt to disclose your affiliation with the company.

Why would you wanna do that to yourself!?
You’re only operating in Nigeria and you have already starting with the ‘Africa of things’.
I’d have gone with; “Zoranga, the Mpesa that worked in Nigeria”.
Good luck. You’ll need it, you’re not alone though, we all do.

I learn more through criticism. Please bring it on. @87_chuks, self-perception matters; thanks anyways, would consider a blend of that on my next post about Zoranga. @xolubi disclosing my affiliation is not a priority. I appreciate y’all.
“You choose how you eat your food, because it’s yours”
Disagree.
Maybe it needs to be spelt out to you but most folks that visit Radar are makers (in some way). So it’s reasonable to expect that when someone (like you’ve just done) introduces a product, they also disclose affiliation, as needed. In that way, people are aware of the link and more importantly, follow up (no need asking questions if you’re not one of the makers).
Makes sense?
PapaOlabode got here before I did. Sigh. Actually, it is. You don’t want to appear spammy and find your post flagged into oblivion. Also, read the guidelines.
@PapaOlabode making sense Sir. Thanks. @xolubi taken. Thanks. Would update my profyl. Ma binu
I’m concerned that a site handling funds doesn’t appear to be using a secure connection.

No worries at all.
I suggest editing your original post somewhere to add ‘We’, which signifies your connection to the ‘PayPal of Africa’.

@Jonag and all the other fintech heads out there - a few words of advice from someone that’s been there and done that, and got all the scars.
- Display the location of your physical office on your website. You should also add a phone number that can put people through to customer service. You’ll be surprised how the most ardent technophiles become technophobes when they feel a fintech company is either like a ghost or has key-man risk.
- Use SSL certificates on your servers. Not the standard DV (Domain Validated) ones that folks like Radar should be using, but instead use the EV (Extended Validation) ones that show your company name in the browser’s address bar. It doesn’t matter if it’s just the website. Go to http://paypal.com and see what happens.
- Make sure information about your security policies, compliance standards, ISO certifications etc, are easily accessible through your website. It will go a long way to literally and figuratively derisk your company. See (1).
- Conduct yourself with absolute decorum in all your online and offline interactions. Jason Njoku can rant online all he wants but that freedom does not extend to those who handle financial information. Think Tayo Oviosu of Paga instead. I hardly ever hear anything about that guy. He is as conservative as they come. Big plus.
- Realise that your job is sensitive. If you absolutely need to rant online, separate yourself from your company by putting on a mask like me and rant away.
Good luck to you. Your road is full of dragons.

This is as shady as the word goes. This wasn’t the edit suggested. You can’t just rewrite history like that.

I still don’t know why folks just don’t come out straight with affiliations to the services they are working on, or involved with? Shame? Ego? Fear?
