The media hype around HO corn was so much that perspective subscribers will abandon their sixth sense and simply invest without any question.

The agritech startup which describes itself as Nigeria’s Largest Maize farm offering backed up the media and online publicity with an outrageous and impossible 50% return on investment within 6 months. This means if a subscriber buys a unit for 100,000, he or she should get N150,000 in 6 months...

Aswear I don tire for them�

I made a request of N5,000 from Adnaira (perhaps they are associated with Nairaland I am not sure) and up till today, they have not processed the payment.

I had to make a post on Nairaland which was deleted before Adnaira paid me the 8,000 I requested for September. It is really frustrating. If you guys are not ready and do not take publishers seriously, please let's know so that we can delete your codes from our website.

Throughout October...their ads were not live on the desktop version of my website while it was available albeit unstable on mobile. I know they knowingly do this. The reason for this I do not know.

They have ZERO customer service which is the annoying part,

Please pay my the N5,000.

Thanks in advance.

Founders need funding to expand their businesses. Investors have the funds and they are willing to invest in businesses or startups that are scalable, innovative, and have a very high social need.

As such, founders that accept investor money must have it at the back of their minds that they will lose some level of control. They cannot independently make decisions that will impact the future of the company without the full knowledge of the investors.

Oftentimes, the investor will appoint someone they trust to join the board of the firm or play a major in the day-to-day running of the company...
