#Ofo is a significant term in Igbo culture, symbolizing affirmation and a declaration of truth. It conveys the essence of agreement, much like saying “amen” or “so shall it be.” This song captures that profound meaning, delivering a message filled with blessings, prayers, and encouragement for everyday hustlers striving to achieve their dreams and make a living.

In Ofo, the artist taps into the traditional style of prayer passed down by Igbo forefathers, rooted in the belief of spoken words.

La descente aux enfers des licornes chinoises du vélo

Les start-up Ofo et Mobike rêvaient de révolutionner les transports avec leurs vélos en « free floating » et étaient érigées en modèle par le régime et les médias d'Etat. Elles luttent désormais pour leur survie après avoir commis des erreurs stratégiques majeures.

#China bike sharing company #Ofo under financial duress. Millions of Chinese want their deposits back, but company may not be able to repay.

Unlock bike with smartphone app, ride, relock bike, walk away, very convenient. But many bikes thrown into rivers, block sidewalks, damaged, huge garbage mess.

As long as Ofo signs up more people, was going ok. Now people asking for refund of deposits puts company in financial problem. Can they survive? #PonziScheme for bicycles.

A mountain of bicycles is sitting in a Dallas recycling yard after the bike sharing business Ofo pulled up stakes in the city.

Pictures of the bicycles at CMC Recycling have been buzzing. Out of the thousands of bikes the company pulled off Dallas streets, hundreds ended up at the recycling center in south Dallas.

Ofo und Obike: Das Ende des #Leihfahrrad-Booms?

#Leihfahrräder haben in Deutschland anscheinend einen schweren Stand: Nach der Insolvenz des in Singapur beheimateten Konkurrenten #Obike will sich auch der chinesische Anbieter #Ofo nach nur drei Monaten vom Markt zurückziehen – nachdem er in diesen drei Monaten Berlin mit billigen, quietschegelben Leihrädern nahezu überschwemmt hatte. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2018/07/2018071602.html #Librebike
