Every time your bank transfer fails in Nigeria, there’s a high chance it has nothing to do with your bank.
It failed because of one system.
One piece of infrastructure that every bank, fintech, and POS terminal depends on at the same time.
It’s called NIBSS.
And most engineers building Nigerian fintech don’t fully understand what it actually does

A Nigerian software engineer and a German software engineer push the same code to production tonight.
Same stack. Same PR review. Same 2am.
One of them earns €7,000/month with free healthcare, job protection laws, and a pension that kicks in at 30.
The other earns ₦600,000 and just spent ₦47,000 on generator fuel this month alone.
We need to talk about this.

10 things to know before learning that tech skill 👩🏾💻✨
1. Know why you are learning it:
Not "because tech pays." Not "because everyone is coding." Know the exact reason: job, freelance, remote work, startup, etc. If your reason is weak, you will quit when it gets hard.
2. Pick ONE area and ignore the rest:
Programming, UI/UX, Data, Cybersecurity, Cloud, DevOps... If you don't pick one, you'll keep jumping and never grow.
3. Reduce distractions:
Tech requires long focus. If your phone is always in your hand, learning will be very slow.
4. Create a learning space:
A small table, a quiet corner, a place where your brain knows: When I sit here, I am learning.
5. Tell people around you what you are learning:
This helps with accountability. When people know you are learning something, you are more likely to stay consistent.
6. Start using Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub early:
Even if you don't know anything yet. Follow people in your field and observe what they are building and talking about.
7. Join a community:
Friends learning the same thing, Discord, Twitter, WhatsApp groups. Learning alone is much harder.
8. Decide your learning schedule:
"Whenever I'm free" is why many people never finish learning.
9. Stop comparing:
Stop comparing your beginning to someone else’s 5-year journey
This one discourages many people before they even start.
10. Check what the job actually involves:
Many people start learning a tech skill and later realize the job is not what they imagined. Watch "day in the life" videos, read job descriptions, see what people actually do daily.

What if Nigerian tech came together to build tiny tools that actually fix Nigerian problems?
Not startups, not pitches, just working prototypes.
eVoting, politician profile log, power outage maps, and any other tools suggested by the community.
Small tools with real impact and open source.
This will allow us know what is needed and how to solve our society problems with tech.
