I'm back again. As always, I like to post my latest articles for my favorite people at Nairaland . Below is an excerpt from my most recent article - 10 Nigerian Startups to Watch out for in 2015

2014 was a great year for the Nigerian business world, and most importantly startups. An increasing amount of entrepreneurs in Nigeria turned their attention to building businesses that provided solutions to Nigeria’s problems by providing services that were long overdue. 2014 was a year of innovative, and new business ideas in Nigeria.

While a number of small and large-scale businesses emerged last year, and the more established startups flourished to reach their goals and objectives, the performance of entrepreneurial ventures as a whole has been exceptional. A handful of startup companies have successfully grabbed the attention of big investors, which have accelerated their growth. The progress that was made in 2014 has paved the path for some great opportunities in 2015, further placing the spotlight on the Nigerian startup scene, and showing what is possible. It’s safe to say that entrepreneurship in Nigeria is alive and kick.

Here, in no particular order are 10 Nigerian startups that you will be hearing a lot about in 2015:
