Shaping the future of banking & payments.

[Oliver De Johnson @obaoftech]

The core payment infrastructure in Africa requires urgent upgrading to align with the unique demands and peculiarities of our market, similar to our physical infrastructures.

A gentle reminder that if there is no expertise in your job, start building a core skill today. In the next few years, workflows and repetitive tasks would be completely automated and handled by AI agents.

Don’t be caught unaware.

Also: Manager/Supervisor/Boss would not survive the job apocalypse that is imminent. Get hands on. Selah

I'm joining OpenAI next week!🥹 The job search turned out to be really challenging but also super rewarding, so I wrote a small blog to share what I learned along the way and hopefully make the process a little less mysterious for the next person. https://t.co/6FigSBdenD

I’ve just returned from Nigeria’s killing fields.
Pastors burned alive. Entire villages erased.
Yet the world is barely paying attention.

One last tweet before I go and enjoy my weekend:

The fact that an "older Nigerian" claims to have "witnessed" something and drawn their conclusions from their lived experience means extremely little, verging on nothing to me.

Reason being that these exact same "older Nigerians" who apparently "witnessed" Muhammadu Buhari version 1984, came to this very app 11 years ago - in the middle of the biggest economic and cultural breakout Nigeria has had since the 1970s oil boom - under a president who had achieved 7% annual growth, largest economy in Africa, and had signed the first Freedom Of Information Act in Nigeria's history, and they told us that based on what they "witnessed" in 1983, Muhammadu NEPA Bill was the leader Nigeria needed, and would be an upgrade on the one we had.

Older Nigerians are very stupid people.

I do not take their opinions and thoughts seriously.

@SaharaReporters Buy naija to grow the naira in the mud lol

[Mark Essien @markessien]

Many good businesses have been ruined because the founders thought the businesses could match VC requirements.

I also think African VCs should have two plans: a) it works out, great b) it does not work out in that way, be prepared to stay with the business for long and earn dividend.

The single path can force unnecessary shutdowns. There are good businesses out there that would be solid mid-income plays with new, capable management.
