Took a break, but I'm back :)

The World Of Money. #BADMANGANGSTA

Shout out to @useaccrue anyway. Since I left Nigeria 5 years ago, this is the only app (out of dozens) promising "pan-African cross-border payments" that bloody works. The payment process is a bit slow because it uses 3rd party vendors, but at least it works. Don't know who's behind it (I discovered it from an Instagram ad) but they built something that actually did what it said on the tin. Hope I've not jinxed it now.

🚨HEARTBREAKING: Child Rahaf Al-Balawi is collapsing due to famine in Gaza She has lost 80% of her body weight, dropping from 25 kg (55 lbs) to just 5 kg (11 lbs) due to severe malnutrition. Rahaf is one of hundreds of children facing slow death under the Israeli siege, with no access to food or medical care.

The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

I haven't been caught up with @useaccrue because economy is hard but, just finding out I can go beyond saving in USD, I can actually get a US bank acct. And that's besides the virtual card. I love accrue so much bro.

The shift is accelerating :) Legacy rails: days + double-digit fees. @accrueHQ: ~90s + 1% fee capped at $1. Africa’s cross-border payments on stablecoins:
