I told my friend in the US I'm learning data analytics and would love to work abroad one day. In her words : AI is taking over jobs here 😭

Does Africa really have a talent gap? Yes. Recently, Tosin, CEO of Moniepoint (one of Africa’s unicorns), made a point that many founders and leaders quietly agree with: Experienced talent is hard to find in Africa. After spending the last 6 years building talent solutions, I’ve come to a clear conclusion: Africa does not have a skill problem. We have an experience problem. We have brilliant, hungry, and Smart people. But the number of people who have actually scaled companies from startup to billions of dollars is still very small. That’s the real gap. If you look at companies like Konga, Jumia, and Andela, they didn’t just rely on local talent. They combined it with international experience to build strong operational and growth systems. And over time, many of the talents they developed moved on to global opportunities. I’ve experienced this gap firsthand as a founder. One of my biggest lessons has been this: Talent alone is not enough. Without experienced operators, growth becomes expensive, chaotic, and slower than it should be. This is part of the reason I’m launching @bluework_ from Austin, Texas. We help high-growth startups hire and manage fractional US-based operators who have actually built and scaled before. Not consultants, but operators who can work closely with your team, build systems, and improve execution weekly. Our focus is on startups that are: • Doing at least $500K in ARR • Or have recently raised over $1M We also work with investors who want stronger execution across their portfolio companies and corporate organizations looking to be a global standard. If you’re building a company and need experienced operators around your team, let's talk. Bluework.io




500m will be nothing for him. It won’t even cause a dent, do you know how top tier his visa is? He won’t feel it jhur


Is it wrong to check your partner’s phone if you feel something is off?




In his words, Pastor Dolapo Lawal said, “Wait, are these scriptures being sent to screen by AI, because there is absolutely no way a human can be this fast." Everyone screamed it's AI, and we had a good laugh after.
