Sparklo (SPRK), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Solana (SOL) In Bullish Trend

0

No crypto project can survive without the active participation of investors who see value in the offerings of such projects. However, this participation is not automatic as a project must initially ensure due diligence in its offerings before it is launched. Haphazardly created projects do not stand the test of time and as have been commonly seen unceremoniously leave the stage after days or weeks of launch. Creating a long-lasting project with unique offerings is an intensive endeavor that requires a lot of input. These projects are however compensated by the community through massive participation. This is the case with Sparklo which has witnessed unprecedented community participation since the start of Its Presale.

Sparklo is bullish against all odds

An average crypto user knows that the past few months have negatively impacted even big names in the crypto space. Several projects are losing their footing and sliding down a steep bearish slope incurring huge debts for investors. It is therefore unusual to see a project bracing the elements and going against a bearish season by daring to be bullish.

Sparklo’s bullish trend is a product of well-thought-out solutions to ownership of physical assets. Sparklo allows investors to own a fractional percentage of precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum through its utility token and NFT. These tokens represent ownership of physical assets which at the request of investors can get their precious metals physically.

The continued influx of known industry investors to the Sparklo presale is not unconnected to its audit certification by Interfi Network and Sparklo’s commitment to liquidity lockup of up to 100 years. Not only that, but also committing to a KYC of team members which assures investors that their investments are safe. Sparklo is no doubt the future of blue-chip cryptocurrency and this bullish trend in the middle of a bear market might just be the start. Sparklo Presales is in stage two at just $0.026

Increased NFT Usage responsible for Solana’s (SOL) market recovery

Just like every other cryptocurrency, Solana (SOL) also took a hit when the bearish market started. However, Solana (SOL) is one of the least impacted and rapidly recovering crypto projects.

The increased adoption of popular Solana (SOL) NFTs such as Solana Monkey Business has been responsible for its growth. Just like Sparklo, it is glaring that the incorporation of NFT technology is indeed the future of cryptocurrency.

New exchange listing news excites Shiba Inu (SHIB) users

Shiba Inu (SHIB) recently announced its listing on coinMena, a popular crypto exchange in Bahrain. This listing would help Shiba Inu (SHIB) reach a larger audience and a greater SHIB army which has been the source of its support through the bear market.

SHIBA INU (SHIB)’s community support propelling its recovery is similar to Sparklo’s organic user base which believes strongly in the project. It is however clear that unlike Shiba Inu (SHIB), Sparklo’s user base and community is more unique with spectacular offerings.

Sparklo (SPRK) Is Re-defining The Future Of DeFi By Outshining OKB (OKB) And EOS (EOS)

0

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has shaken things up in the financial world, bringing in a whole new era of transparency, accessibility and cool innovations. Here, we’re diving into the exciting mix of DeFi, the major player as Sparklo and why it’s got investors all hyped up about making huge gains. Meanwhile, EOS (EOS) and OKB (OKB) are trying to redeem themselves.

Sparklo (SPRK): Embrace the future of immutable asset ownership

Sparklo is distinguished by its compelling utility and promising potential. This novel strategy positions Sparklo as an attractive alternative asset investment opportunity.

Currently, in the second stage of its presale, Sparklo offers early investors an enticing opportunity at just $0.026 per token. Based on predictions from industry experts, Sparklo’s growth potential is projected to exceed 5,000 times by the conclusion of 2023, primarily attributed to the platform’s vast range of potential applications.

Sparklo plays a vital role as the payment medium for purchasing and selling precious metals directly on the blockchain. With Sparklo smart contracts audited by InterFi and a concluded KYC audit, the network’s transparency is also attractive to investors. With these factors in play, Sparklo possesses the potential to become one of the top one hundred cryptocurrencies.

OKB (OKB) surging toward new heights with slight resilience

OKB (OKB) coin has been making waves in the cryptocurrency market, exhibiting an impressive upward trajectory. Over the past 30 days alone, OKB (OKB) has seen a remarkable 13.55% increase in value, reflecting its strong growth and investor confidence. Looking back over the span of three months, OKB (OKB) has soared by an impressive 31.38%.

While OKB (OKB) has shown resilience and consistent growth, appreciating in value for a majority of the past 30 days, it’s important for investors to exercise caution due to OKB (OKB) price fluctuations and a volatility rate of 10.31% over the past month. On the other hand, Sparklo emerges as a more reliable project, offering a potential alternative for investors seeking stability and dependable growth.

EOS (EOS): Navigating critical levels, seeking to regain lost ground

EOS (EOS) finds itself in a critical juncture as it hovers near a significant demand zone, grappling with the aftermath of rejection at the $0.83 level. The gains EOS (EOS) had accumulated throughout 2023 are now perilously close to being eroded, with the year-to-date return dwindling to a modest 3.25%.

In recent price action, EOS (EOS) experienced a break out from the $0.985 level, but the subsequent candle’s lower wick holds a crucial role. During the correction, the EOS (EOS) price declined by approximately 27% before finding support at the $0.985 level. Although attempts were made by EOS (EOS) to retest the annual highs, bears emerged at the $1.26 level, thwarting further upward momentum.

Dangote Has Picked Cement and Refinery, Pick Electricity, Clean Water, Roads, and Ask for Government Support

41

So many interesting comments on my piece on Dangote Refinery. Let’s respect and commend Alhaji Aliko Dangote. Here you see me, even as a village boy from Ovim Abia State, if you have $5 billion to invest in Nigeria and you have money to rent my brain, my advisory package will include getting some major concessions from the government for you. I have called that Conglomerate Tax and it is global (Amazon HQ2 got $billions of waivers from US cities, GE got waivers to develop special plastic for US military, etc).

Dangote’s problem is that he is alone in doing many production things in Nigeria, and that is why we have the jealousy from many who do not understand how markets work. There is no businessman or woman with $10 billion to invest that will not ask for special treatments. Not doing so is stupidity!

I am a player in the US semiconductor industry. As I write, the US government is distributing $52.7 billion to major players. While Nigeria does not have funds to distribute, it offers some incentives to great pioneering entrepreneurs with capacities to do big things.

In the US, they do not have silver or bronze in competitions; win or go home. That is why Elon Musk has received $billions via grants, incentives, etc from the US government because he is always #1 in the categories. You can accuse the US government of favouritism for picking Tesla, SpaceX and The Boring, and ignoring other companies which fade over; they do not care.

While a student in Johns Hopkins, there was a specific year Johns Hopkins received close to 18% of the National Institute of Health grant, with other universities in the whole US sharing the rest. Why?  Focus on the best, winners, the Gold, with capacities to do big things.

Let us celebrate this man. If you are offended, raise your $10 billion and ask the government what you need to fix our electricity, clean water, health care, transportation, etc. Those are opportunities which remain available. But dismissing his efforts on the grounds of government support is unfair to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to do big things in the future.

Note this: the government of Tanzania promised him $600 million incentives. He built and they reneged. He was about to close the factory when the new president realized the risk and acted up. He won 100% and the president understood that you do not threaten a man who is putting $$billions in your economy.

For almost a year, Tanzanian officials had been in a bitter $600 million dispute with Dangote Cement over investment incentives related to a new cement plant in Mtwara, southern Tanzania.  The Nigerian company had claimed the government was reneging on promises made by the previous administration of president Jakaya Kikwete, who left office thirteen months ago.

The cement plant launched last year and was flourishing until John Magufuli became president. In the last 12 months, new regulatory challenges undermined operations to such a degree, that the company suspended production last month. It caused an uproar in Tanzania. And Magufuli had to get directly involved and eventually struck a last-minute deal with Dangote on Saturday (Dec. 10) to keep the factory in the country and save thousands of jobs that were at risk if it closed.

My Response: I am not sure about that. There are many banks in Nigeria today. Dangote’s Liberty Bank did not survive because govt had given winners the goodies. People like to make it look like Dangote has a strike rate of 100%. Check, Dangote Capital, Dangote Noodles, Liberty Merchant Bank, etc all went bankrupt. He competes and fails on some but whenever he wins,  many think it is because of the government. I find that offensive from Nigerians. What has govt done for him that bank owners do not get in our distorted FX regime?

Take time and see investments he wasted $$billions and recalibrate this illusion that he wins because of govt. In 3 years, someone will write “How Nigeria Gave Dangote Our Petrol Sector” as memory fades on how it used to be

My Response: Even China picks winners. In short, China’s one is legendary. It is an illusion to think someone will invest $10b without incentives.  Tanzania was giving Dangote Cement trouble. He closed the factory. Then months later, those local entrepreneurs could not create an alternative and the govt came calling because cement scarcity hit the land. This is not an app, this is an asset-heavy industry.

Comment 3: The Ibeto cement was killed by the Nigerian government for the obvious . Now, the refineries owned by the Nigerian government cannot function but the NNPC already has a stake in Dangote refinery. It is outrageous!

My Response: Yes, it is Dangote that killed all the refineries in Nigeria. Yes, Nigeria has not allowed them to work for decades so that Dangote will own the sector. Yes, it is because of the investment NNPC made in Dangote Refinery a few years ago that precipitated the collapse of all refineries in Nigeria. That is not fair!

Comment 4: Sir, I must say one admirable quality of your submissions lies in their unwavering objectivity, to my mind. Despite being delivered at nearly lightning-fast speeds, reminding me of a mass-production conveyor belt, your responses rarely compromise the depth and accuracy of your knowledge base. It is indeed impressive to see such a consistent level of excellence you maintain in your submissions. I like how you deliver top-notch content with impartiality.

To my mind, it’s the cultural conditioning that is causing many to wonder about the issue of this laudable and indeed patriotic venture. Imagine DanCash entering the Nigerian business space with this same chef-d’oeuvre and easily drawing in a profound ‘sense’ of assurance, confidence and trust(the type the Super Eagles-in their winning ways,O- inspire in all of us, or even Hilda Baci, last 2 weeks)! Such a heightened sense of collective ownership and patriotism would significantly impact the entire country, giving it that hard-to-describe energy that moves nations to prosperity and well-being. Respectfully, please.???????

Eight statements from CEOs on Generative A.I.

0

Here are eight statements from global CEOs on Generative A.I.

 “People have watched the capability of generative A.I. to deliver really, really thoughtful responses, sometimes fully accurate, sometimes not fully accurate. And it has opened up this question about, well, how do we use this in the right way? How do we use it in a responsible way? And every single client I’m talking to is trying to figure out how to go fast, but how to go fast in a responsible way.”

Joe Atkinson, chief products and technology officer for PwC

We’ve literally seen thousands of startups in the last six months move into this space. I’m in San Francisco, and there’s a hackathon happening three or four times a week. The amount of energy going into this is palpable…There are companies going after marketing, companies going after customer support, a lot of tooling focused on speech recognition. You name it.”

—Chris Young, Microsoft Executive Vice President

Every single board meeting we’ve had this year has had a standing agenda item of A.I. and ChatGPT and this whole space, to make sure we’ve got our board kind of pacing with us as we’re thinking about where we’re going.”

—Pat Geraghty, CEO, GuideWell

Our introduction to generative A.I. course has had four times the enrollment of the next most popular course of all time for us.”

—Jeff Tarr, CEO, Skillsoft

“We think of our financial advisers as being experts in ‘head math’ and ‘heart math.’ I think generative A.I. has a huge potential to offer personalized head math. But I think it will be years before generative A.I. can replace the heart math, because the heart math doesn’t always align with the head math.”

—Terry Rasmussen, CEO, Thrivent

“We all remember the old-school travel agent who was a human being, who knows something about you and what you could afford, and would do it all for you when putting together your travel…That’s what generative A.I. is basically going to do. You’re going to have that conversation again. And it’s going to be with an A.I. agent.”

—Glenn Fogel, CEO, Booking.com

We have two guidelines that we’ve established for ourselves in terms of using generative A.I. One is that we are only going to use it on our closed data sets….which means approved data that has been vetted….The second is, it’s always going to have a human in the loop.”

—Rohit Kapoor, CEO, EXL

We use ChatGPT to write code….[Software development that] used to take anywhere from eight to 10 weeks…now can be done in less than a week.”

—Girish Mathrubootham, CEO, Freshworks

When you asked the question, ‘Does anybody here use generative A.I. to write code,’ there was silence probably because nobody on this call is actually coding. But I think we all need to assume that many of our developers are using generative A.I. in their own coding.”

—Rob Lake, CEO, Boulevard

Reasons Why You Need Legal Services, Ethical Offenses For Which a Lawyer can be Penalized in Nigeria

0

Reasons Why You Need Legal Services

Legal Services, as prevalent as they might be, are still not properly understood in a lot of jurisdictions, Nigeria included. This is because legal practice in some jurisdictions is viewed strictly from the relatively narrow lens of Dispute Resolution practice which still claims the bulk of legal professions across the world. 

As a result, many people with no dispute resolution matters have trouble understanding WHY they need legal services, which this article aims to explain by pointing out the reasons you need legal services which are as follows:-

Cautionary Reasons :- These involve hiring legal services in a cautionary capacity (typically, legal advisor capacities) that enables you to be properly guided at the pre-entry, negotiation, and pre-execution stages of several transactions and business relationships.

Regulatory Reasons :- This involves having legal services on a revolving basis for the purpose of satisfying regulatory compliance requirements in a wide range of business operations, the opposite of which would put your business at a great risk.

Remedial Reasons :– You need legal services in a remedial capacity at the point of business relationships going awry, having your rights violated/suffering loss, or at the point of transactions falling apart using Courtroom litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution measures. 

Statutory Reasons:- By operation of law, certain business functions are required to be manned by legal practitioners ranging from Non-Executive & Independent Director roles to Company Secretarial to Manager/Receiver roles to corporate restructuring roles.

Transaction support reasons :- From due diligence reports to documentation services to perfection of land titles to business license procurement to business relationship renewals and alternative business model set-up for specialized business sectors like Financial services & Financial Technology, the importance of legal services cannot be overestimated.

 Ethical Offenses For Which a Lawyer can be Penalized in Nigeria

That lawyers and in particular, legal practitioners, are held to a higher standard of behavior is not exactly new. But there is still a lack of clarity as to the exact acts , types of conduct, or omissions that would be enough to get lawyers into trouble in Common Law jurisdictions like Nigeria.

This article will be outlining and briefly explaining what these ethical offenses are as follows:-

1). Infamous Conduct in a Professional Respect/Regard or Manner :– This involves an act or omission of a dishonorable nature that would be reasonably contemplated as bringing disrepute to the legal profession as a whole.

2). A Conviction By a Court in Nigeria for Offences Incompatible with the status of a lawyer :- This does not have to necessarily involve acts or omissions arising from the performance or practice of the profession. 

3). Enrolment by Fraud:- This involves being called to the Nigerian Legal profession on the basis of a fraudulent misrepresentation including but not limited to the falsification of qualifying certificates or being found unfit in character to be made a lawyer in Nigeria e.g. Secret Society Membership.

4). Conduct Incompatible with the status of a Legal Practitioner :- This would apply to behavior that would be deemed unbecoming of the status of a legal professional e.g. Public drunkenness or street fighting.
