Today, I learnt that Olugbenga Agboola, Flutterwave’s co-founder/CEO, studied Electrical Engineering at OAU.
Nigeria has produced 5 tech unicorns: Moniepoint, Flutterwave, Interswitch, Andela and OPay. Founders of 2 of them are OAU alumni.
That pattern is not random.
When students hear about alumni who have built big things, or see their peers at Nacos Library or White House Oven cooking up products, something changes.
It is the same pattern with UNILAG and big tech transitions. When students keep seeing seniors land global internships and top tech roles, ambition becomes normal.
Sometimes, people don’t just need talent. They need proof that someone from their own environment has done it before.

Zapr fixes this.
My Boss: Do you know the difference between Copy and Content?

The candidates I went into the room with that day attended MIT, Stanford, IIT (India Institute of Technology), University of Cambridge and so on.
Yet, I got the call and they didn’t.
Looking back, I had an unfair advantage.
I knew the game.
I played it well.
Now, I have shown you the secrets.
Go and win.
Working on the Titanic dataset has been a really interesting experience, starting from, cleaning the data, and encoding categorical features using one-hot encoding, carrying out EDA. It’s been a great hands-on journey into data preprocessing and feature engineering.
