Eager Zebra has taken over

On August 1, SFI President Gery Carson had announced the “merger” of SFI with GreatLife Worldwide. This in essence meant managing affiliates had ended at SFI, and affiliates were advised to go join GreatLife, paying for the first month of membership with Rewardicals. However, life still goes on, for those not keen on joining GreatLife. The SFI website still comes up, though without all the bells and whistles it used to have. The Games Division, Eager Zebra on TripleClicks, is still very much active, allowing members to generate Rewardicals. Once the Rewardicals hit 52,500 you can then turn them into $35 worth of Bitcoin. The following are my selected activities since August.

Two-day introductory Printwiser Estimating training for two employees of GlobalPlus Publishing Ltd kicked off in Lagos. The course covered the Printwiser software environment, estimate entry, calculations and comprehensive reports generation, as well as issuing data retrieval queries. Continuing from last month, further technical support was provided for another Printwiser client on the feature of switching databases in the latest version 10.5. This included the creation of the initial version of a database update utility program to apply an SQL script against two databases.

SFI has merged with GreatLife

On August 1, 2025, SFI President Gery Carson announced a merger with GreatLife as the final end of SFI affiliate management activities. This came as a big surprise. Affiliates were advised to join GreatLife, paying for the first month’s membership costing $49 with 19,000 Rewardicals. Although claiming to be too old at 64 years to continue managing SFI affiliates, Mr Carson did say that Eager Zebra Games (TripleClicks.com) and Rewardical.com would still be managed by him. Three new ZCredit packs were introduced in place of the former FDM memberships. So what exactly did he mean by “merger?”
