🎙️New episode on @gettheupside

I had Chowdeck CEO @LordBinary_ and @skweird, author of Foodpod (a series on technology eating food), on to discuss Nigeria’s food delivery ecosystem — and @chowdeck at the center of it.

some personal news: I went on the Open Africa Podcast & made it out alive

got to yap about @thesbtxt new series too. link below ⤵️

[Open Africa Podcast @TheOAPod]

In this new episode, we were joined by Osarumen of the Subtext to talk about the recent fintech collapses in the ecosystem. We also take a closer look at Magic Beans, the first chapter of Foodpod – a limited series about Technology eating food in Africa.

Link in the comments⬇️

[Paystack @paystack]

Nigeria’s food delivery scene is growing, even as prices skyrocket and incomes fall.

Why?

In Chapter 1 of foodpod, we partnered with @thesbtxt to explore how tech and convenience are changing how Nigerians eat.

[the subtext @thesbtxt]

@paystack 1/ Food delivery is not new to Nigeria.

Before 2021, well-funded companies like Opera, Bolt & Jumia tried (and failed 🥲) to make it work

So, how are new players finding "success" in a historically challenging industry?
