Good marketing is finding different ways to tell the truth.

Building Builderswave has been one of the funniest thing I've done in the past weeks 😅 .

The first competition launched 2 days ago.
We are already at 219 active users (180 new ✨ ), in just 2 days.

Yaoundé. Cotonou. Lagos. Paris. Dubai. New York. Toronto. all discovering products on the platform and showing their support 🫶 .

I have no idea how big this gets.
but something is happening. And you should be part of it.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

“Have faith,” Jesus tells us in the #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 14:1). That is the secret! It is precisely this faith that frees our hearts from the anxiety of possessing and acquiring, and from the illusion that we must pursue a position of prestige to have worth. Each person already has infinite worth in the mystery of God.

Showmax is officially dead

After 11 years in business and ~$1B+ invested — ~$500M since 2024 — the paid streaming service will be shuttered in the coming months

So ends one of Africa’s most ambitious attempts to build a local subscription video on-demand platform capable of competing with global giants

In North America and Europe, near-ubiquitous broadband connectivity and sizeable disposable income levels underpin subscription models

In African markets, the economics are different

A reliance on mobile data, low consumer spending power, and volatile currencies makes profitability difficult

It's a good time to revisit this piece @JasonNjoku, founder of competing paid streaming service iROKOtv, published a year ago:

"Our GDP per capita was too small to support even a $5/month product...

$5/month is a luxury I doubt even 250,000 people can reliably afford in Nigeria...

It’s okay that we tried and failed

It’s okay that we accept the limitations in the domestic market we find ourselves in"

If you have Vue gaps, this is a clean window to fix them.
