Went through this myself.
Couldn’t add my Providus card to the App Store to buy anything, which meant I couldn’t even download the Providus Card app to fix the problem in the first place.

Had to add another card temporarily, use that to download the app, open the transaction window inside it, then finally add my Providus card details to my account. Clunky sequence, but it worked.
If you’re on Android, it’s seamless — just download the app and proceed, no workaround needed.

Providus clearly under-communicated this rollout, and that’s the real failure here.
Because once you look past the friction, this is actually smart on both sides.

For the cardholder, I see five benefits:
1. All those subscriptions you forgot about (the ones quietly debiting you monthly or annually) get stopped cold. You can’t “forget” a recurring charge anymore; it needs your active go-ahead.
2. It kills silent trial-to-paid conversions — those “free trial” signups that quietly roll into real charges after 7 days without you noticing.
3. It forces visibility on your own recurring spend. Most people don’t realize how many small debits are draining their account until something interrupts the pattern.
4. Card-not-present fraud — the most common fraud vector on Nigerian cards — takes a direct hit. A stolen card number is useless without the app-side approval window.
5. It shifts control back to you per transaction, instead of leaving your card “always on” for any merchant that has your details.

For Providus, I see three benefits:
1. Lower fraud-loss exposure and chargeback liability, since card-not-present fraud is where most bank losses come from.
2. Fewer disputes to adjudicate — a real-time approval window gives clear proof of customer intent, so fraud claims are faster to resolve either way.
3. A cleaner data trail on cardholder spending behavior, which sharpens their own risk models and lets them price and manage risk more accurately over time.

I get the frustration — nobody wants to hunt for a workaround just to pay for something they already subscribed to.
But once you push through the first setup, what’s on the other side is a card that’s harder to defraud.

Providus needs to communicate early, faster, clearly, and widely next time.

Zedcrest Group, a Nigerian financial services group with businesses spanning investment banking, asset management, and fintech, has acquired UK-founded cross-border payments startup Leatherback for an undisclosed amount.

Leatherback will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary within the Zedcrest Group, retaining its brand and current management team, the companies said in a statement.

The acquisition formalises a relationship that began in 2021 when Zedcrest invested in Leatherback’s $10 million pre-seed funding

On August 21, 2025, @darasoba posted a tweet that was not supposed to be a product announcement. He just wanted to see if the idea was worth building.

The replies filled up before the afternoon was over. Six months later, over 7,100 churches across 20 countries are using what he built.

We’re solving the Olodo uprising pandemic, one NYSC at a time. That’s our contribution to society.

That’s why @Tunde_OD, @hackSultan and I are launching a ₦250 Million Scholarship Fund to help recent graduates gain real, in-demand tech skills that lead to jobs.

Each successful applicant will receive a ₦160,000 scholarship towards a 9–12 month AltSchool Africa diploma in any course of their choice. Beyond technical training, participants will also receive career support and internship/job opportunities through Jobs59.

We also know that learning without a laptop is a major barrier, so we’ll be providing laptops to a select number of scholarship recipients through an additional application process.

If you know a recent graduate who deserves this opportunity, share this post with them.

I’m convinced that you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by showing up. By closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.

Based on this @cowrywise report, at the very minimum, a ₦500k-₦550k salary is the floor.

But to live fairly comfortably, an ₦800k-₦850k salary looks more like it.

But not everyone can earn that amount, and not every company can pay that amount. Therefore, your work is to identify the sectors/opportunities/jobs with the potential to pay that much.

And your job is also to identify the required skills that command that type of income.

While at it, remember that you are not the only one eyeing those kinds of opportunities, which means that you have to be very competitive.
