Today, I experienced one of the most traumatic moments of my life.

I had gone to a friend’s place to lend him my MacBook charger because I stay in Ikorodu his charger had stopped working. After leaving his place and heading home, I was stopped by men who identified themselves as Nigerian police officers. They were not dressed in standard police uniforms, which made the situation even more frightening.

I was forcefully pushed into my car, accused of being a cultist without any evidence, and subjected to intimidation. My phone was searched, I was threatened, and I was repeatedly told that if I did not cooperate, I would be shot, killed, or have my car taken away.

They drove me around to different locations, including from Ikorodu to ketu under a bridge, while continuing to threaten me. Under fear for my life, I was forced to open my banking apps and make transfers. In total, about ₦700,000 was taken from my account through coercion. They wanted me to pay them 5 million which I don’t even have, They also forced me to call friends and demand money from them, insisting that I raise millions of naira despite having committed no crime.

This was not a voluntary transaction. Every action I took was because I genuinely feared for my life.

I am sharing this video because no Nigerian should have to experience this. No one should be threatened with weapons, intimidated, or forced to hand over their hard earned money by people who are supposed to protect them.

I am reporting this incident to the appropriate authorities and financial institutions, and I hope those responsible are identified and held accountable.

Please help me by sharing this until it reaches the right people. This has to stop.

[SmartanHouse @EliteSmartans]

Before a volcano erupts, magma and gas quietly accumulate underground. The mountain physically swells under the surface until the intense pressure triggers a massive, unstoppable eruption.
The exact same thing happens in culture. History's most memorable events never start with the whole world. They begin with a few outliers who decide to align on a single vision, holding onto it until the world catches on, and a new culture erupts.

For our generation, we are approaching that exact moment—one that will forever be remembered in history. The *Smartan Culture Conference* will be the point of convergence for 1,000 of these Gen Z outliers from across different industries. It will be the epicenter where cultures become one, minds align, and hearts ignite toward a single, unified vision.

This is the map. It holds the date, the time, and the mission.

Save the date. The work is about to begin.

[Tosin Eniolorunda @Eniolorunda]

I have followed with rapt attention the discourse that followed my conversation at the Platform Nigeria on May Day. The stark reality is this - opportunities are few and far between, unemployment/underemployment is high and sadly there are too few employers for a huge market such as ours, at least when compared to other markets such as China, India that have similar youth bulge.

We Nigerians are some of the most hardworking and gritty people in the world.

But we must tell ourselves the truth. Nigeria currently doesn’t have enough highly skilled technical talent resident in Nigeria to build companies that can scale globally.

Interestingly, I have also read a lot of employers double down and agree with my current diagnosis around our country’s technical talent pipeline gap and confirmed it is true. Former Minister, Kemi Adeosun also referenced Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote comments around finding the right quality and quantity of talents for his refinery project.

Let me ask a hard question - can we say that Nigeria has enough highly skilled technical talent still resident in Nigeria? That's a huge conundrum that any organization that wants to maintain market leadership must solve for.

How many engineering executives do we have remaining in Nigeria that lead a payments team that handles payments infrastructure processing tens millions of transactions daily without fail?

How many senior data scientists do we have in Nigeria that can create data models to appraise millions of customers while managing prudent NPLs?

How many senior growth executives in Nigeria have the experience of growing a digital apps towards acquiring 80k customers a day through digital and offline channels while maintaining prudent CACs?

It is important to note that this is not about Nigerians generally, this is about senior Nigerian talents still resident in Nigeria.

Nigeria is not producing enough high quality senior technical talent and the little we have are emigrating.

I can explain these to be that Nigeria does not have too many feeder industries across the board. As such, there are fewer starter companies that young talent can come from to feed into senior roles in other companies. Every one then ends up fighting for the same pool of senior leaders that have experience and bandwidth to deliver and win in the market.

The effect of the Japa wave has been very well chronicled and I must add that this has been a trans-generational challenge. Remember that time in the early 80s where a lot of our medical professionals left for places like Saudi and the UAE? As at March 2024, Nigeria had lost around 16,000 medical doctors to other countries, most especially the US and the UK.

The quality of technical education is also falling as our standard of education is lagging behind global counterparts.

Can we say we have enough senior technical talent in Nigeria to compete with global competition especially China? But Moniepoint, Dangote, Flutterwave, LemFi are competing with them.

Training young talents can fill the gap for the future but is inadequate for today. Companies need senior talent and cannot wait the eight to ten years needed to get them to senior levels to compete.

In training young talent, Moniepoint has seen a lot of bright spots through our various interventions that are aimed at deepening the talent pool. So we are indeed doing something about improving talent density for the ecosystem. Through our DreamDevs programme, which is in its second year, we're training talented young engineering graduates with the skills they need to enter the workforce as top talent. We have supported the government's 3MTT agenda as well as a partnership with Unilag’s NITHUB to push the HatchDev initiative. Our Women in Tech internship programme, which now in its sixth year, provides women with the access, training and opportunities they need to build careers in tech. I also personally have a scholarship program for STEM students across select Nigerian universities in every geo-political zone.

Competing globally also means that you spend top dollars to retain top Nigerian talents that you have nurtured. We routinely retain Nigerians that emigrate and pay them according to their local market standards.

A recent example is an exceptional first class graduate we nurtured through our women in Tech program and had to go to school just as a path to emigrate and we had to retain abroad and offer an alternative naturalization path for her.

Moniepoint has over 3,500 full time employees with over 90% Nigerian talents, and we’re growing 20% YoY. We’d love a world where this is at 99% while building for the world.

Self deception isn’t a virtue and we must tell ourselves the home truth - we need to raise the quantity and quality of our technical talents resident in Nigeria to compete. No organization can rise above the quality of its output and execution is everything in this game.

Nigeria will be great. Let’s all do the work together.

By the way, top tech talents still resident in Nigeria, we need you badly. We pay above market rates and you will make real impact. Please apply here: https://t.co/hrBbhCWj1k

For top Nigerian talents out of the country, we hire out of the UK, Portugal, Spain, India and Pakistan. Also apply, we are building digital banking infrastructure that provides financial happiness for emerging markets.

The debate is healthy. It is a clash of perspectives that will. shape the future of Nigerian talent.

The question is no longer what was said. The real question is: what will this generation build in response?

Join the conversation here.:

[SmartanHouse @EliteSmartans]

Gen Z voices are proving one thing that they are not passive participants in Nigeria’s future. They have elected to shape it .

Some of us see truth in the challenge, calling for discipline, structure, and a reawakening of excellence. Others reject the framing, pointing to systemic gaps, missed opportunities, and the need for older generations to do more than critique.

But across the divide, one reality stands tall: this generation is thinking deeply, speaking boldly, and refusing to be boxed into a single narrative.

Gen Zs Respond to Uncle Tosin

A bold conversation has been ignited and Gen Z is not staying silent.

Following @Eniolorunda Mr Tosin Eniolorunda''s remarks on the state of Nigeria’s talent pipeline, a wave of reactions has erupted across the country’s young, rising generation. From sharp critique to thoughtful agreement, and a bit of sober reflection in the mix.
