Beware of shingiro finverra. funding program

I wanted to post a warning to applicants about the SHINGIRO Initiative / SHINGIRO Project Competition run by Finverra

They have been heavily advertising nationwide on their instagram that they are empowering student innovators by offering massive grant funding promising up to 10M, laptops, and mentorship. i saw the first red flag when their website was full ai generated but tried to ignore it.

However, after getting into the process, they suddenly demand a 20k fee out of nowhere.

When I realized this hidden fee wasn't mentioned anywhere, I directly questioned/confronted the CEO about it. Instead of answering he ignored my messages. after, they wiped and deleted my user acct on their platform.

I messaged him again letting him know that my business project is fully legally registered and that I would take legal action against them. His response was to block me completely.

if yall were into applying know that they will request 20k and prolly steal potential ideas

How many months deposit for rent

I am kind of thinking of moving to Kigali looking for one bedroom apartment unfurnished in which could move in,
Looking for a decent area something close to tech hubs (not too far). Anyone in how much should I get ready??

Some agent told me 2months deposit plus one month rent plus one month for his fees, i find that huge. Thought there’s a possibility of 1 month deposit.

Anyone to guide me?? What will you advise furnished or unfurnished ?

Dating

The best way to find women is offline meet-up, the ones on social media are always acting classy on another persons money, I was having a conversation with a lady, the next she said she’s free to come over, she said I’d be the one to pay her transport I agreed, few minutes later she updated that she’s on the way, I asked her how much did she agree with the moto bike , she said 3500, for a distance i go with 2000, i told her to return back then sent her the transport fare, I don’t date inconsiderate human beings, if she’s the one paying I believe she’ll negotiate well or even use bicycles

She later said im broke, i asked her, you’re an adult that can’t pay your bill, yet you call me broke then blocked her
