I really enjoyed this conversation with @peaceitimi

For 2 hours, we riffed on everything, including;

1. My early beginnings
2. EP>VP
3. 3 inflection points
4. Partnership lessons learned in the school of hard knocks 😊
5. “Paying school fees.”
6. Backing category leaders consistently for 10 years +
7. How good & bad culture scales
8. Staying in the game
9. A glimpse into my anti-portfolio
10. Family

…and so much more. The measure of a great host is that I was recovering from a bad flu, but you wouldn't tell. 👏

This is deep!

[Ventures Platform Fund @vp_fund]

As Africa’s startup ecosystem matures, one question remains central: who benefits from the upside and who is responsible for its continued growth?

In his latest op-ed featured in African Banker Magazine (pg 65. third quarter issue 2025), our Founding Partner, @kola_aina, addresses this critical question by introducing an insightful lens: Capital-with-Context - local capital that brings not just financing, but proximity, lived experience, and deep cultural insight.

Read here: https://t.co/4zThyZBZ4O

For the first time in Q1 2025, local investors participated in more deals than foreign ones. This milestone signals more than just market activity, it reflects a growing confidence in the value of local participation and ownership. But as Kola argues, this is only the beginning. Without deliberate effort, the progress may stall.

At Ventures Platform, we believe a resilient African tech ecosystem must be built on both global expertise and grounded local conviction. Through strategic partnerships, ecosystem-building efforts like the Africa Prosperity Summit, our work with founders across the continent, and continuous engagement with LPs (home-based & abroad), we remain committed to expanding and strengthening the base of capital allocators on the continent.

A New Chapter for NIPOST and Nigerian Logistics

I am incredibly delighted to share a major milestone from my work as the Postmaster General of NIPOST:

We have officially signed a direct international mail partnership with @KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, a milestone that marks the first of its kind in many years.

For a long time, @NipostNgn operated without any direct partnerships with international airlines, relying heavily on multiple third-party handlers. This often resulted in delays, higher costs, and uncertainty around the delivery of packages.

With this new partnership, KLM will now handle our outbound international mail directly, with no middlemen involved.

For our clients at @NipostNgn, this translates to:

Faster and more reliable delivery
Reduced risk of loss or damage
Lower handling charges
Access to over 200 countries through KLM’s global network

This breakthrough is possible because we have begun clearing longstanding debts owed to international carriers. We are actively working to rebuild global trust, and this partnership is only the first of many doors that will reopen.

Furthermore, we are currently in strategic discussions with Ethiopian Airlines to serve our African and Eastern routes, further strengthening our regional and continental logistics framework.

Our goal is clear and unwavering: to connect Nigeria regionally and globally, efficiently, securely, and affordably.

A Major Win for Nigerian Businesses & SMEs
If you run a business, export goods, or sell products online, this development is for you.

You now benefit from:

Quicker, more affordable international shipping

Greater peace of mind with improved reliability

New potential to reach and grow in global markets

This is our signal to you:
"Change of Renewed Hope Berths at NIPOST Shores"
A more capable, transparent, and globally connected NIPOST is here.

I remain grateful to the incredible teams working diligently behind the scenes, and to every Nigerian who continues to believe in our mission.

We are not just delivering mail, we are delivering solutions and moving Nigeria forward.
