Tech is not the future.
It’s already happening — and you’re either in or watching.

Meet one of our speakers:
John Kent

From AI to digital careers, he’ll be breaking down how to actually find your place in tech — even if you’re just starting out.

[Savey Africa @getsavey]

Your 20s are dangerous for your wallet if nobody taught you how money works. Most of us learned the hard way.

Money mistakes Nigerians make in their 20s. A thread 🧵

[Savey Africa @getsavey]

Real budgeting = 3 things:

1. Know what you actually earn
2. Assign every naira before you spend it
3. Track what actually happens — weekly

That's it. Nothing complicated.

Savey makes all 3 easy. 📲 Link in bio.

I got tired of seeing average talents and decided to do something about it. Here is how you can either join us in building world class talents or becoming one yourself.

A thread 🧵.

Grab popcorn and follow me 😊.
