Warlord3000: This is the kind of news we pray for in naija about our ppl.. Not nigerian terrorist bombing in uk or whatever.. Not forgetting some pedophiles in senator's clothing passing bills

There is definitely hope for naija

My brother you are saying the truth, This is the kind of news we want, not all those sad and bad news like someone getting arrested for drug trafficking, or someone locking his mother inside a wardrobe for 10 years to make money rituals, or someone kidnapping people for a living. I 100% agree with you, this is the kind of news we want.

Not gbomogbomo. Not obas eating human flesh or ra////ping NYSC members. Not alfas kidnapping people and starving them to death in underground dungeons. not politicians killing each other wetie style. not thugs fighting and killing each other in motor parks. not our people becoming terrorists in the UK.

No one is overhyping anything. I've benefitted from my membership on this forum.I met a very beautiful lady who is very close to my heart here. I Got ideas/inputs for my book project and above all sold a mechandize cash. All on Nairaland! Nairaland is a great joor.

What's her handle?

speeder: Neva get upset wen ppl prefer sme1 elz 2 u cuz itz hard 2 convince monkeyz dat strawberriez r swita dan bananaz

so watin come join ur story with person wey hammer. are u upset?

james_ibor: "Chinedu Echeruo"!

Da'z all. Say no more!!

There are many of our people doing undisclosed work for uk, usa, canada, I can't count all my FUTO mates doing global wonders:Chijioke ones passed NASA test to repair a space telescope now with a usa leading financial hub as IT expert, Somto with Canadian power hub, uche running IT stuff for BBC, many with US Drone development,infact Ibos are born Tech gurus like isrealis though Yorubas too are great,Both tribes will make a great nation without those Child Abusers!

That is it want to make serious money? then be innovative. Every innovation starts with an idea. Some guys say they donot teach anything in havard business school, they should have a rethink. The guy just like the Nigerian founding partner of jumia.com is a Nigeria. If you like sit down and be looking at us, when this guy was nursing the idea of hopstop.com he never knew apple will come after him. So let us all be creative, innovative and persistent.

nenergy: Seun, i take God beg you...nor sell Nairaland o!!

Some clowns wont just stop attempting to remove my teeth with laugh,guy u no well @ all.lolz

More grace to ur elbow my bro congratualtions.

Really, I'm impressed and without doubt inspired.
This just goes to show that, anyone, anybody can make it despite not being a politician or taking dubious & suspect path to glory.
Congrats man.

Nairaland is worth 6million dollars if sold to a corporation .

360command: Nairaland is worth 6million dollars if sold to a corporation .

Some one above already told you why no corporation or angel investors in the USA will buy nairaland . If you are a foreign tech guru you will know that nairaland is worth nothing. There are so many Map and Navigation website here in the states but apple picked this app for a reason.

Apple has acquired Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com, The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital reports. Founded in 2005, HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed as at the time of this publication.

HopStop has oft been compared to Israel’s Waze which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion. The move is seen as Apple’s plan to bolster its map offering especially given Google’s recent acquisition of Waze.

A serial entrepreneur, Chinedu Echeruo grew up in Eastern Nigeria and attended Kings College, Lagos. He attended Syracuse University and the Harvard Business School in the United States and founded HopStop.com after working for several years in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, Financing and Private Equity transactions. He also worked at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund.

He founded and raised nearly $8 million for his two U.S based internet companies; Hopstop.com and Tripology.com. Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by American travel and navigation information company, Rand McNally. He was named Black Enterprise Magazine’s Small Business Innovator of the year and listed in the magazine’s Top 40 under 40 and is currently a partner and head of the Principal Investing group at Constant Capital, a West Africa based investment bank.

True to form, Echeruo is working on yet another venture but this time, focused on small businesses in Africa.
