"We all kill time, we save time, we rob and get robbed of time, we lose time and we have all the time of the world. And not one of us is sufficiently powerful to stop time or to slow it down.” - Herbert Wigwe (1966 - 2024) former group MD and CEO of Access Bank Plc

Studies like the SWAN Study and Bozdag PCOS meta-analysis show that nearly 1 in 3 women face reproductive or hormonal health issues.

Nigerian women face this too. Late diagnosis turns pain into the entry point for care. Prevention should come first.

A mind-blowing fact about #BRKA shares, which closed at $713,000 per share yesterday. In 1965, Buffett bought controlling interest for $11.50 per share. A gain of 6,200,000%.

If the price dropped 98% tomorrow, it would still have beaten the S&P 500!

No último episódio do Africa Tech Talks @afri_techtalks, Vitor Rodrigues da Innovation Makers Labs @innovmakerslabs apontou duas (2) soluções para a diminuição das filas nos bancos:

🏧𝗔𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗼 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗔𝗧𝗠𝘀: Esta primeira solução, vista como uma melhoria a curto prazo, mas não estrutural segundo o mesmo, consiste no aumento da quantidade de caixas automáticas (ATMs), principalmente nas zonas interiores do país, onde o rácio ainda está abaixo da média necessária.

💵𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗼 𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘀 𝗻ã𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘀: A solução estrutural e o maior desafio, segundo o Vítor Rodrigues, é a desmaterialização do dinheiro físico, ou seja, fazer com que as pessoas reduzam significativamente a necessidade de usar notas.

No último episódio do podcast do Africa Tech Talks @afri_techtalks
Vitor Rodrigues da @innovmakerslabs realçou a diferença entre Mercados (Europa/EUA vs. Angola/África): Embora em Angola e no mercado africano as fintechs sejam vistas principalmente como uma complementaridade, em mercados como a Europa e os Estados Unidos, as fintechs já estão a ganhar espaço e a competir diretamente com os bancos tradicionais.
