My journey as founder Sofe Group For the past 6 +years, I have been building @sofegroup, and had several rough and challenging times. I made a whole lot of mistakes but one thing remains: I showed up after every setback with a resolve to build on my experience. My drive is to build future Africa, and that picture is very clear in my mind. Yes, we're not there yet. Fast forward to today, we have: - reached out to over 7,000+ people across Africa and beyond - Partnered with over 4+ global brands including @CoinWOfficial, @coinexcom, @XTexchange.  - Collaborated with several local partners - hosted numerous bootcamps and AMA We have so far built a thriving: -  traders community; built with every trader in mind by traders passionate to build wealth. - Incentive community; where our newly onboarded Sofians can earn their first crypto for free by engaging with airdrop, testnets, bounties etc - Blockchain Career Expo (@B_CareerExpo) community; dedicated to scaling Africa's Tech manpower through training of Blockchain professionals (web2/Web3 Devs, PM, content creation, CM, Trading, Data Analysis and so on). - Tertiary Chapters; we're building student communities across tertiary institutions in Africa and at the moment we have four growing communities in UNN, Delta Poly, Nekede Poly and Uni. of Jos and counting. The journey is still a very long one from our roadmap.  I look forward to participating with industrial leaders to drive this vision to greater heights. I believe we're still early on-chain. #Amazingsofe #sofegroup #BCE2025 #mightyandmany

@Amazingsofe @SuperteamNG @TechNovasummit When is it?

That's why I am building @SofeNode African's talent and web3 distribution engine, designed to help web3 protocols get validated users. Still in the kichen.

It's true that entering the Nigerian market is risky and so is every other market and that of Nigeria is closely fast. Nigerians are loyal customers and they to stick with brands that give them access while others are still sceptical.

Nigeria will play a key role in the mass adoptions of blockchain and this time it will not just be about survival, even though that what drive the current momentum. The Nigerian market is maturing fast, the protocol who position today will most likely lead the future market.

@thisis_monarch @SuperteamNG @TechNovasummit Great work bro

imagine you’re Travis Kalanick you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign so you step down the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future gone $4 billion to Aurora the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale silicon valley moves on as they always do but you don’t you don’t really forget you go quiet, completely quiet you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees and nobody even knows the name eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore it’s a robotics company 1. food 2. mining 3. transport your first move? acquiring Pronto the autonomous vehicle startup built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth now he’s coming back to work with you and the reports say Uber itself the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing poetic justice your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved you call it the golden age your manifesto ends with three words: “I never left” eight years of silence then this but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story it’s neither you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like most founders would’ve stayed bitter most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island you didn’t do any of that you just kept building and now the same people who pushed you out need you again so whether you love him or hate him the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building karma is real welcome back Travis

@PeterObi We are not yet ready to change this country

Nigeria is facing a troubling contradiction. What type of country are we trying to bequeath for our children? The same lawmakers who have proposed a fine of ₦10 million and up to two years in prison for dual political party membership have simultaneously removed certificate forgery, age falsification, and false declarations as grounds for challenging an election in a tribunal. This is in direct contradiction to the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria (1999, as amended). This situation raises a fundamental question about the priorities of our political system. In any serious democracy, the gravest offense in public life is deceiving the people to gain power. Submitting false documents, falsifying one’s age, forging certificates, and making dishonest declarations to electoral authorities are among the most serious offenses in any democracy. Such actions not only lead to automatic disqualification but also warrant criminal prosecution. Yet today, our electoral system seems more focused on protecting political structures than on upholding the truth. There is no justification for prioritizing punishment for party alignment over punishing false certificates, forgery, and other forms of deception in the pursuit of public office. Laws should strengthen democracy, not weaken it. They should promote ethical leadership rather than lower standards for those who aspire to govern. A nation cannot rise above the integrity of its leaders. If we truly want a better Nigeria, our laws must defend truth, character, competence, and accountability. We cannot continue to tolerate criminal behavior. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@zikohercules Can you buy the power station and later buy the panel?

The proposed price has been reviewed & greatly adjusted⚠️ The Zedtron-X power station price will now be ₦370,000 without a solar panel ✅ And ₦440,000 together with a 310 watt monocrystalline solar panel✅ This new power station will be able to: Run ur fridge for 10hrs Run a 50 watt fan for 24hrs Run a ps5 for 5hrs Run starlink up to 24hrs TV, laptop, phones, washing machine ✅ Producing even toothpick here is not easy, u have many factors to deal with, but the satisfaction of our customers is key. Do not forget, the specs of this model is slightly higher than the imported rival making waves, the 'oversabi' pple among us should take note! We cannot grow or become better if u do not patronize indigenous products! #Zedora #madeinNigeria🇳🇬

@bigjoejs @Harri_obi @_karlagod @BitsaveProtocol @Enugu_techfest @Alexspoof @CyreneAI done, thanks

@Amazingsofe @Harri_obi @_karlagod @BitsaveProtocol @Enugu_techfest @Alexspoof @CyreneAI Send your email in dm

I've built a great product @BitsaveProtocol I've built a great team that can clearly ship and sell. I've proven traction over and over again with both individuals and businesses using my product from both worlds, onchain and offchain. But why do I have to go through the same hoops, that builders who haven't got ¼ of the results I've got go through? So to get funding I have to resort to launching multiple tokens? Issuing tokens used to be a 2020 meme coin dev thing, but in 2026 it's now a moat for builders to get financing for their products. Yet we're surprised when the industry standard for our leading Finance, which is "DeFi"; is that users can lose Millions of dollars because they ignored a prompt on our terrible UX. Not UI, UX, because great UX would be that a user can't, CAN'T buy above the liquidity available, like it's freaking common sense to build guard rails like that, and not hide it behind "slippage" !!! This isn't what it means to be permissionless Finance, do we really want adoption or we want the same set of users, bots, hunters, snipers cycling same protocols in different chains and recycling the funds like we recycle the speakers and side events in our major conferences? This is not the first time a user has lost millions because they ignored, didn't see or didn't know what slippage meant! Like this is our "industry standard" guys, that's how the contracts were built to work, and the UX designed to function, and we want the world to take us seriously? When we can't rewrite the rules of our own engagement since 2020 and our protocol upgrades don't lead to safety rails? We build systems for people to lose money because that's how we make money. That's why prediction markets or tools that help people trade, gamble or spend are the moat to quickly make it in this industry as a builder. And founders like me who are building a SaveFi/BizFi protocol that allows you save money, and make 16% APR from Real World Businesses have to resort to launching multiple tokens to get the financing needed. Yeah, this is the industry I found myself in! $BizMart is Live! CA on @solana aBztXq2Ry33V1iJgxVMkyUVeVhmqFHMKE2JRFcPcyai CA on @base 0xd5f9b7db3f9ec658de934638e07919091983bb07
