I am sure recruiters won't have a second look at this.

Flutterwave got a banking license this week. Paystack already bought a whole bank. Moniepoint has been doing its thing quietly for a while now.
Your Nigerian uncle, who said "tech is not a real job" is about to open an account with one of them. And he won't even know it.

Flutterwave getting a banking license says a lot. They're not chasing another funding round; they're building the actual thing people use every day. Exits will come because the businesses are real now, not just pitch decks.

The African tech ecosystem will have more billion-dollar exits in the next 5 years than it had billion-dollar rounds in the last 5 years. Bet on Africa.

@TechpointAfrica Every team that shipped fast and broke things eventually spent twice as long cleaning up the mess. Speed without quality is just debt with extra steps.

At Scrum Day Nigeria, experts note that the future of product development will depend not just on tools and frameworks, but on how well organisations balance speed with quality.

@AdewaleYusuf_ The rooms that matter most are the ones where nobody needs to explain what it took to get there. Everyone just knows.

Someone messaged me on LinkedIn saying they could help me relocate from Nigeria.
Told me to fill a form.
I opened the site and saw “AI-powered…”
AI-powered what?? Relocation??? 😭

The part about surrounding yourself with people who correct you, not just clap for you. That’s the real message here. Honest feedback over empty praise, any day.

The people doubting you today, Will be the same ones telling others they always believed in you. I have seen this pattern too many times. When you are unknown, they question you. When you are trying, they doubt you. Some will kick you When you are struggling. But when it finally works… They rewrite history. "I knew you would make it." "I always saw it in you." No, they didn’t. And that’s okay. You don’t need everyone to believe in you. You only need enough belief to keep going. The real game is not proving people wrong. It is becoming so aligned with your purpose that opinions lose power over you. So instead of worrying about what people will say… Focus on Growing Learning Becoming better than yesterday Surround yourself with people who don’t just clap, but correct you. People who don’t just hype you, but help you build. Because empty praise feels good, but honest feedback changes your life. It won't be easy. There will be days you question everything. But it is possible. And one day, the same story they doubted… Will become the story they tell. I am rooting for you🙏
