A man has shared his conversation with a lady who has a boyfriend and needed his financial assistance in exchange for ‘at least 2days of f¥n.
The lady wanted to buy wig and upgrade her phone from iPhone 12 to iPhone 14 Pro Max but her boyfriend can only afford the wig and she needed to do the upgrade because most of her friends has changed their phone and needed hers too that weekend.
So she messaged the guy to help with N80,000 to add to the money she had and in exchange spend today with him.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has on Sunday revealed how the leader of the gang involved in the abduction of medical students, was k+lled by the police during an operation to rescue 20 medical students at the weekend.
The students who are from University of Maiduguri and the University of Jos were travelling to Enugu for the Federation of Catholic Medical and Dental Students’ annual convention when they were kidnapped on August 15. Their abduction generated massive outcry, which made Egbetokun order the deployment of tactical operatives and assets, including helicopters, drones, and tactical vehicles, to ensure the swift rescue of the kidnapped students.
Speaking while handing over the students to their Vice-Chancellors, Egbetokun added that the arrested suspects are in custody. He also said contrary to speculations, they were rescued without paying any ransom.
Egbetokun said: “This success was made possible through the support received from the office of the NSA, the activation of the security network, intelligence, synergy with other security agencies, community engagement, and deployment of our highly skilled and tactical officers whose dedication, bravery, and precision in executing their duties are truly commendable.
During the operation, our officers engaged the kidnappers in a well-coordinated tactical offensive. I am pleased to inform you that the kingpin of this notorious gang was neutralised during an exchange of fire with our operatives while two other members of the gang were arrested. These individuals are currently in our custody where they are providing valuable information that will help us dismantle their network and prevent future occurrences of such abductions.” [Swipe]

Nvidia (NVDA) will report second-quarter results for fiscal 2025 after the bell on Wednesday, Aug. 28, with investors likely watching for sustained data center growth and any updates on reported delays affecting the new Blackwell artificial intelligence (AI) chip.
Analysts project revenue will grow to $28.84 billion, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha, which would be more than double Nvidia's revenue in the same period a year ago. Net income is also expected to more than double from a year earlier to $14.95 billion, with a sharp decline in earnings per share (EPS) expected primarily as a result of the company's 10-for-1 stock split.
Nvidia's data center segment has grown rapidly amid rising demand for its advanced computing tech to support AI.
Data center revenue reached a record high of $22.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, surpassing its previous record set the quarter prior.
Analysts expect revenue for the data center business to be $25.19 billion for the fiscal second quarter, which would set a new record high with sales more than doubling from the year-ago period.
Reported delays in Nvidia's Blackwell chip sent the chipmaker's stock tumbling earlier this month, though Nvidia has indicated production is still on track to ramp in the second half of the year, as planned.
Some analysts have suggested investors' worries may be overblown, with little impact to customers.
Raymond James analysts, who said the delay could have a "modest" impact and support increased demand for earlier chips, expect "management to downplay the speculated delays."
Nvidia shares have more than doubled in value since the start of the year, at $129.37 as of Friday's close.

Expectations for Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings release Wednesday are on the rise, in what could make it harder for the artificial intelligence (AI) darling to impress investors.
Consensus estimates for Nvidia’s second-quarter revenue rose by $170 million to $28.84 billion in the last 48 hours alone, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha, while net income projections rose $120 million to $14.95 billion.
Whisper numbers could be even higher, with some analysts having long voiced concerns about investors’ expectations exceeding Wall Street projections.
Wedbush analysts said Thursday they expect “another drop the mic performance from Nvidia,” citing signs of "massive enterprise AI demand" and spending by cloud giants such as Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet's Google (GOOGL), all trends that would benefit the chipmaker.
They’re not alone, as analysts from Raymond James, KeyBanc, and elsewhere recently said they expect a strong quarter from the chipmaker as well, despite concerns about a reported delay in Nvidia's Blackwell AI chip.
Over 95% of analysts tracked by Visible Alpha have a “buy” rating for the stock, with a consensus price target of $144.83, 12% above Friday’s closing price.
Nvidia shares gained 4.6% Friday to close at $129.37. The stock has gained about 160% since beginning of the year.
