The talent problem in Nigeria is huge and deeply rooted in culture. I’ve spent half of my career trying to solve it with Jobberman.
The only employers that cracked it were the banks - they set up their own academies which ran like mini-MBAs.
But japa came and tested that foundation. It cracked. The few that had been trained well moved to better salaries globally that local employers couldn’t match.
We need to rebuild this foundation again and this time around scale it 100x. Only way to compete with global poaching of our few good talent is to create a massive supply of talent and find a way to up-skilling them to be mid-level even if they haven’t worked before.
You might be wondering, how can one have mid-level skills, if they haven’t even gotten a junior role?
I did. I was doing financial models in Year 4, building websites for Alder Consulting and banks. @Jobbermandotcom and @GO54_hq didn’t just happen overnight.
But you can’t create an army that way. The way to replicate that is work-specific academies that are super specific on defining learning outcomes and embrace learning methods that enhance human agency and thinking clarity.
That’s what @AltSchoolAfrica is and probably need 1000 more of such in different sectors.
So when some Nigerians dunk on @AltSchoolAfrica for being too hard, I laugh. We love degrees without the grit and yet want stellar job outcomes.
Employers no longer want to justify the cost of academies - since the staff get poached or japa as soon as they learn the skills.
AI is worsening everything - more moderately - highly paid people will lose jobs asides from civil service 😁
And for those who were looking for jobs, AI is already doing a lot for employers so they don’t need that many people any more , except you are an AI-native.
We need @AltSchoolAfrica and more of them to succeed. I doubt there is any “efficient” Altschooler that is jobless or idle. If there are, DM @hackSultan to fix that.
@MastercardFdn , GIZ et al with @Jobbermandotcom, @AltSchoolAfrica have done a lot in the junior talent level, but more needs to be done to tackle the joblessness decade that’s about to set on us.
The new employment requires more
- mid level management and technical skills
- massive industrialization on the part of government
I know we will make it, I just don’t know how fast or when.

Moniepoint works with an offline-based architecture model. I wrote an article on this.
So whenever your internet becomes very poor, let’s say from 5G down to Edge, it switches to an offline-based architecture.
Advantage of this? Wider coverage, even in areas with terrible network connectivity.
As for OPay, its main selling point was its switch payment flow.
Both lines above already answer everything.
You guys don’t really engage with my articles by reading them. I’ve written really solid technical articles.
Well, I’m dropping another one soon.

What exactly did OPay, Kuda, MoniePoint, and other fintech banks do to get so much acceptance from Nigerians?

Cosmas Maduka. Tony Elumelu. Innoson. Cletus Ibeto. Obijackson.
Noble men who BUILT things factories, jobs, supply chains.
If any of them contested, you’d see real change.
But Cubana Chief Priest wants to contest because na APC, and he knows he’d win.
A man whose only contribution is shouting “money na water.” And popping bottles at night club.
Is that a CV for legislative work?.
If Orlu East Federal constituency allows this, I no know wetin to tell them again.
