I published 53 articles in 2021 — that's at least one article per week. The articles are about African tech startups and the space industry.

This is a thread of some of my favourites. You might find them interesting too. 1/10

@alfaruqstories @uthmanzi wow! mind sharing why?

[Daniel @danielyanda]

Reporters who write favourably about companies receive invitations to their office parties; critics don’t.

[Daniel @danielyanda]

@archivetherest Yeah. That's a great addition.

@Mr_Oyedele Thank you. "Fewer head touches per capita" though😆

Seems there's no one-stop-shop ISP. You need at least two -- fixed location and mobile.

On finding a good internet connection

Airtel MiFi has good speed but is not reliable
MTN is reliable but too slow compared to Airtel
Spectranet does not have wide coverage areas like the mobile networks

😢 which ISP are you using, please?

[Daniel @danielyanda]

@alfaruqstories @uthmanzi The author himself or how the content is presented? I think it's the latter --- the diction could have been more graceful.

Bitmama is pulling off what First Kudi (formerly Kudi Exchange) and Patricia couldn't.

Bitmama has launched physical crypto debit cards that allow users to directly spend their cryptocurrencies without converting to fiat.

[Daniel @danielyanda]

After some product announcements, nothing happens.

Is there anyone who has successfully used Patricia's crypto (physical or virtual) debit card?

I've only seen testimonials of people using Bitmama's crypto debit cards.
