I want to apply
Babon, please do well to register, all the best
I tried to apply, I have gotten to the stage where they sent a link to my email & asked me to verify it. As I click on the link, I was taken to where I was asked to fill in some bio-data & business name/plan. At that point, my network went bad, when the signal came, I was asked to verify my email & they keep telling me sorry can’t verify
