I had the opportunity to share my insights at the @Techxciteng event at Nile University Abuja, focusing on 'From Idea to Impact.' My presentation explored lessons learned from my startup failures and outlined strategies for achieving scalable success. #startup #fintech #tech

A specially designed umbrella has been developed for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, engineered in a way that allows users to avoid holding it by hand, thereby preventing fatigue during use.

Most young people in Nigeria today want to “blow” overnight, so they skip the phase where real capacity is built. But the truth is the years you spend learning under structure, under pressure, under someone better than you… those years are not delay, they are foundation. You may not trend during your apprenticeship. You may not look successful yet. But what you’re building in silence will carry what fame cannot sustain. In a country where everyone wants fast results, discipline and patience have become a rare advantage. Don’t rush the process. What compounds quietly will eventually speak loudly.

Africa has more billion-dollar companies than many people think. At least 345 companies operating on the continent generate $1 billion or more in annual revenue. Collectively, they generate over $1 trillion annually. Of these companies: • 147 — nearly half of them — are headquartered in South Africa, a country that accounts for just 13% of the continent's GDP. • 43% are publicly traded, 40% are privately held, and 17% are state-owned. • 230 of them are homegrown — African-owned and built for African markets, while a third (115) are African subsidiaries of foreign multinationals. The geographic concentration and foreign ownership share both point to the same thing: The continent's map of big business doesn't yet match its atlas of opportunities. Nigeria, for example, has ~4x South Africa's population and ~80% of its GDP. Yet it has 16% as many companies generating $1 billion annually. More big companies will be built across Africa as the continent's markets mature. The question is by whom — and which communities benefit. -- Afridigest Intelligence — real intelligence to win in Africa's growth markets: afridigest.com/intelligence | Follow Afridigest on LinkedIn & Instagram

A Nigerian fintech founder raised $2M, built a slick app, onboarded 40,000 users. Then CBN, NDPC, and FCCPC came knocking at the same time. He had no licence. no DPO. no KYC tier structure. no breach policy. The company didn’t survive 2024. Here’s every rule you must know before you build:

Any serious person with access to real influence/influential people will tell you that you don't leverage influence just for the sake of it; it's usually as a last resort after plenty of thought.

African founders often obsess over product development, market launches, and fundraising, but many fast-growing companies collapse not because the technology didn't work, but because the organization behind it couldn't scale. This session explores the "non-technical" side of high-growth startups and unpack the subtle but critical factors that make one startup succeed while another fails, even with similar market conditions. Panellists will share practical, experience- driven strategies for navigating growth, achieving alignment, and shaping organizations capable of scaling sustainably, even in volatile markets. At the innovation stage panel at the Lagos Tech Fest, we will be joined by leading players across Africa’s tech who will share their insights on 'Tech is Only Half the Story: People & Strategy as the Real Drivers of Growth'. Speakers joining the session will include; 📍 Kazeem Tewogbade — CEO, @BluechipTechNG 📍 Napa Onwusah — Managing Partner, @Placidcode 📍 Abasi Ene-Obong — CEO, Syndicate.bio 📍 Chidiebere Ihejirika — Head IT Operations, @oxygenxafrica 📍 Promise Alade — Head of Product, @tryrabafast 📍 Omoruyi Edogiawerie — Founder, @eandclegal 📍 Oswald Osaretin Guobadia — Managing Partner, @Digitaevo 📍 Alero Boyo — Founder, Alexboyo World Book your tickets now at 25% off via tech.eventhive.ng
