On August 21, I’ll conclude my 12-year tenure as Chairman of UBA; upon the completion of the maximum 12-year tenure prescribed for Non-Executive Directors of Banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If you study a professional course as an undergraduate, I don’t think it’s sensible to pursue a masters degree before pursuing the professional certification of the course.
FACT: There are TWO salary bands every 9-5 worker in Nigeria MUST break.
THE 150K - 300K BAND: This is the toughest and hardest; could take years to move up.
THE 500K - 1M BAND: What works here is your positioning and crazy pivoting, you can shorten your move in years here!
Once you break above N1m salary, you become unstoppable!
🇳🇬 Today, @theflutterwave announces a Nigerian banking license. It is a defining step in our 10-year journey to build the financial infrastructure powering Africa’s future.
A decade ago, we started with a simple belief: better infrastructure changes everything. Payments failed too often, settlement was slow, and expanding meant rebuilding from scratch. So we focused on connecting what was fragmented.
With the acquisition of @mono_hq earlier this year, we deepened that connectivity. Now we are going further by building a unified platform where businesses can open accounts, accept and send payments, manage payouts, run payroll, and operate across currencies in one place, with access to lending and working capital powered by real transaction data.
Businesses can now run their entire financial operations seamlessly, while developers can build new financial products directly on our infrastructure at scale.
We can now build, innovate and solve customer problems faster than before because we now control the value chain of payments in Nigeria. Our destiny is now in our hands.
We are reimagining banking for Africa’s future. Faster. Smarter. Built for scale. 🚀🦋

If you think long term, you’ll eventually get 1 job that pays N1.5m monthly.
You’ll at best be a mediocre in all 3 jobs, your social life and mental health will suffer too. The worst thing is that you won’t have enough time to dedicate to learning and growth. And in some fast paced fields like software engineering, the cost of not thinking long term is very high.
