Starting to think that (retail) Nigerian businesses don't need a website anymore. Social media presence with a link to Whatsapp is now sufficient. Do you disagree? Why or why not. Vote below.

Heavy sigh. We're always putting the cart before the horse. Anyway I hope the program works. I'll be delighted to celebrate its success.

Do people think founders came out of their mother's uterus founding a company? We worked somewhere first, learned and were mentored by others before we struck out on our own. We see the disconnect now and feel sorry for new grads who don't get the same training and opportunities.

See presidential material na. No be those ones wey dey release statement from afar. 2027 is sure for Obi!

I often don't pay too much heed to feature requests from users cuz while they know their problems well, users are often poor at solutioning. "Faster horses over cars". Spoke to one of our users yesterday however who had such a brilliant request I almost offered him a PM role.

Fight against remote work early on in your career. Your career development is better with bosses and team members you can learn from directly and indirectly in an office environment through observation, mentoring, etc. Leave remote work for when you've earned your stripes.

Prof Uzo at the Lagos Business School is the only local academic I've come across that consistently engages with the Nigerian innovation economy. His latest publication provides unique insights into BNPL from interviews with 75 wholesalers and retailers. 1. It's not all…

Raising from undisclosed investors into a Delaware entity is apparently now a smoking gun. Lol.

I feel compelled to comment on the GMO debate that my TL is having - based on the best available evidence I could find. tldr: Any definitive statements that GMOs are causing harm is at best conjecture. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are generally regarded as being at the…

Development and progress can and is often bidirectional. Citizens can create and the government adopts over time. Waiting for the government all the time is inefficient and quite frankly foolish. We can save lives and build while also pushing the government to act.

I've spent the last 10 years trying to convince pharmacies to adopt technology so it's particularly gratifying to see a technology focused pharmacy conference and someone on stage reporting that 25% of her revenue comes from tech platforms. Excited for the future of pharmacy.

This poor student is dead because of our decrepit health system. Ideally an ambulance should have been called, the ambulance would put him on a heart monitor, the monitor would have likely helped detect a dangerous heart rhythm. The paramedics would have shocked his heart back…

At the OPD in national hospital the other day, a student came to get a signature for the rotation from the doctor. When I told them I was in her shoes 15 years prior they didn't believe me. Made me pause and realize that I'm getting old sha oh. Small me don truly become chief 😭

Us 🤝 papering over deep cracks with superficial initiatives. Nigerian academics are not linking with their diaspora colleagues cuz a govt program doesn't exist. Most people are one email away from each other. When we're ready we'll deal with real issues.…
