Singapore was built on integrity. When the true story about Oando is finally told, we’ll understand that “integrity” is far from us.

@Oando_PLC did the same release of multiple quarters in 2014 and this cannot be the conduct of a serious company https://t.co/miFl8zFdb0

Oando lost almost $1bn in 2014. If you’re going to lose money, don’t be a wimp. Lose big money
