Lol, it’s not even decent. It’s high. The entry-level salary (junior associate/intern) for any technical role at Moniepoint is 1M+ per month. The current issue is that the TL is now filled with fake screenshots and personal views painted as objective discussions.

Before I tweet anything, I do research and actually ask people questions, especially when I don’t have internal info. A junior associate who’s a frontend engineer at Moniepoint sent me a screenshot alert of his last salary payment directly from his bank app. When I initially asked him for his pay, he said it’s not a fixed figure because they add bonuses that are not fixed, and he went ahead to send the last salary payment screenshot from his mobile app. I’ve trained so many engineers in Nigeria, like a lot. Probably one of the top three largest tech training institutions in the country. I know HNG is number one. So when someone says there’s no good talent in the country, I’m also not happy about it. But I need you to know that we’re a growing ecosystem. So many people reading this tweet right now cannot point to 10 desktop engineers they know, or five game developers. You probably don’t even know 10 motion designers too. I’m not saying we don’t have them. I’m saying that you, reading this right now, probably can’t name them because you don’t know them. There’s also a huge responsibility for large companies to invest in training and employee pipelines. That’s why I also complained about the Dangote issue last year. We have a problem, and we need to agree on that. But Nigerians are also hardworking and technically global. We can’t deny that, and we should not undersell it. If you’re reading this and you know a junior technical associate in Moniepoint who’s earning below 1M. Please DM me proof, and I’ll legit add a follow up tweet to my initial tweet and apologise.

Banks raised their salaries to match fintech, because they kept losing employees As we dey cry make we dey see road too sha, all the major fintech pay better than banks

🚨 Pay attention if you’re one of those who jump on trends by replying with keywords for giveaways. Some of these “trend guys” have landed themselves in serious trouble with the authorities. They pushed a campaign on twitter asking people to reply with “Moniepoint scandal” with promise of a ₦500,000 giveaway. Do you understand how crazy this is? It was a calculated attempt to manufacture a damaging narrative about Moniepoint and push it into the public space using fake celebrity accounts (check the attachments) and anonymous handles with large followings. Trying to artificially trend something as serious as a “scandal” against a unicorn like Moniepoint that serves millions of people across the entire country is scary and criminal. You shouldn’t even do it if you were asked to. Now they will face serious legal consequences that would ruin their lives forever. This should serve as a warning to people on X, hiding behind anonymous accounts is not immunity against prosecution. If you deliberately spread or amplify harmful misinformation against someone or an entity who values their brand image, you will be fished out and held accountable. There must be consequences for actions like this, not just to address the damage done, but to deter others who think they can game the system without repercussions.
