Tech marketers save this 📌 - I went down the rabbit hole to research them all 😅. +A thread of 20 Easter creatives by Techstartups + commentary. + Tag/share with someone who should see it. 👇

While men slept, yesterday night😅, the CBN confirmed the commencement of an AML/CFT/CPF Supervision Pilot for a select group of Virtual Asset Service Providers. The selected companies are @paystack, @theflutterwave, @kucoincom, @cngn_co, @koinkoinapp and @juicywayhq 🎉 And before you get too excited o, the framing was careful that participation confers no licensing status, no regulatory approval, and does not supersede the existing framework📌 That much is clear. But clarity of framing does not diminish significance of intent. Nigeria’s virtual asset regulatory story has been long and turbulent. We went from a blanket banking sector prohibition in 2021, through gradual re-engagement, to the ongoing question of which regulator owns what. The CBN’s move here does not resolve that question but it signals that the apex bank is no longer watching from a distance. For the first time in a while, it feels like we have actually left the runway. This structured supervisory engagement would involve a risk-based programme covering governance, customer onboarding, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and FATF Travel Rule preparedness. The focus on Recommendations 15 and 16 is deliberate. This is the CBN signalling to FATF evaluators that Nigeria is actively supervising this space. So now I’m thinking🤔, will this remain a compliance exercise, or is it the first step toward a functional, dual-supervised virtual asset ecosystem where the CBN and SEC each hold a defined lane? I’m curious to hear your thoughts about this…

Things are very easy to do once you're a nepo baby. Mo Abudu was born in the UK and schooled there. She came back to Nigeria and got employed as HR in ExxonMobil. She worked for about seven years, which is enough to build something. If you're not solid financially and you leave your job to go after your purpose, you'll cry bitter tears. I remember my mentor always telling me that you cannot fuel your passion unless you've made money.

I quit everything to build a bank for Africa. Not another neobank. Not another crypto wallet. A real AI-powered banking platform — built on stablecoins — that gives anyone in emerging markets access to dollars, euros, and pounds. It's called Axra. It's live. Here's the full story:

Take the biggest, calculated risk of your life. Then work like a dog until you make it happen. Any other advice is secondary.

Many times, we over engineer with marketing copy. So we end up with copy ideas that only excite other marketers (who will never buy your product). When in doubt, just write a functional copy that communicates benefits.

The simplest most effective method I learned about Tech Job hunting in 2026: - Use Google Maps - Search e.g "Tech companies in Kansas, US" - Tailor your CV to match the company's profile of your choice and save their email - Record a 3 minutes intro video of yourself Hit send!

Today Abuja @sofreshng_co is consistently in our top 2 locations across all metrics, month on month, but it took us about 4 years to fully rev that engine. So sometimes I ask myself, should we have expanded to Abuja when we did in 2018? Or stay in Lagos and take advantage of the already primed market? Which brings me to a broader question, how do you expand a business? - Do you go wide? Open more locations and channels, add new products, or new segments? - Or go deep? Get more from what you already have? Sell more of same products, find more similar customers? Many businesses don’t answer this question properly. They just react based on feeing, hearsay or even ego: Sales not hitting the target — open a new branch. A competitor launches something new — add another product. There’s pressure to grow — add more channels, add more locations, just do more. But expansion is not all about doing more. It’s about choosing carefully where the next growth spike should come from based on your resources, readiness and capacity. And doing so without increasing complexity unnecessarily. I’ve seen businesses open a second location before the first one is stable and consistently profitable. Launch new products when customers are not even deeply bought into the first. Many times, these become more of a distraction than growth. So, again, do you go deep or wide? - Deep = more revenue per customer, more loyalty, more adoption of what already works. - Wide = more locations, more products, more markets, new segments. Going wide will stretch you, while going deep strengthens you. Both can work. But they require different levels of capacity, structure, and discipline. If your customers are not coming back often enough, not spending enough, or not getting enough value, adding more locations or products won’t fix it. It will just spread your attention thinner. Because before you expand anything, you need to be clear on what actually works and why. So, before your next move, pause and ask: Have I gone deep enough here? Where is the real opportunity in my business right now — depth or width?
