Fellow Nigerians
Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.
My team just completed a Chinese truck marketplace web app 🚀
Every time we ship a project like this, I’m reminded of the same lesson:
The app isn’t the business.
The app is just the interface.
The real business lives in the logistics network, customer experience, supplier coordination, fulfilment process, and operational excellence behind the scenes.
Technology gives you leverage.
Operations determine whether you survive.
Wema Bank just declared its ambition to become a tier-one bank in Nigeria.
The MD revealed that profit jumped from N42 billion to N221.9 billion in three years. Nearly five times growth.
Now they’re sitting on fresh capital and hinting at major acquisitions. In simple terms, this is a smaller bank quietly building the firepower to compete with Zenith, GTCO, Access and UBA.
Tier-one status doesn’t happen overnight. But this is the kind of move that turns yesterday’s underdog into tomorrow’s headline.
Nigeria’s oldest indigenous bank, at 80 years old, is preparing for its biggest chapter yet.
