Warri is a city owned collectively by ltsekiri, Urhobo, and ljaw.

Lagos, a city of over 22 million people, is inevitably plagued by outrageous traffic jams. Beyond the tons of time and productivity being lost everyday on the mean streets of Lagos, businesses and lives are being lost too. But one man -Dele Odufuye – an his team have created a uniquely Nigerian technology solution to help Lagosians make smarter decisions about traffic.

Techpoint spent an afternoon chatting with Dele Odufuye about his foray into tech, the inspiration for Tsaboin Traffic Talk and the future of Big Data in Nigeria.



My name is Dele Odufuye. I am a graduate of Environmental Management and Toxicology, University of Agriculture Abeokuta. I started my company in 2005, right after I graduated from university. I was quite interested in my hobby, which is Information Technology, so I decided to pursue that rather than my academic degree. So as a profession, I am a Software Developer. I started out as a programmer working in a couple of organisations, while still an undergrad, before setting out to build my own company.

Yesterday, the Herbert Macaulay Library (YouRead) was re-opened. The initiative by the Lagos State Government in collaboration with GTBank to revitalise the defunct library is laudable. The library, which was built in the 60’s was the pride of the Yaba community. In a conversation with the Librarian, Mr Taiwo Bogunjoko, this is what he had to say:


The 635 hub would be divided into two halves. One would contain the Code Lagos centre while the other would serve as a meeting room for events. The You Read library is an approved Code Lagos centre.

This thread is just rich in irony cuz intelligent societies don't have so much rotten systems, so much failures and so on...

[b] Tizeti, the company behind (wifi.com.ng), has just closed seed funding of $2.1 million from international investors including Western Technology Investment, Social Capital, Vy Capital, Picus Capital, Ace & Company, Lynett Capital Partners, Zeno Ventures and a number of angel investors including Y Combinator’s Michael Seibel and Gabriel Hammond.


Over the years, Tizeti has managed to keep prices relatively lower in comparison to established ISPs by replacing diesel with solar-powered base stations spread across Lagos. With the new capital injection, they look to scale up the service in Lagos, with 3000 new public hot-spots, as well as expand to the South-South region of Nigeria.

“Today’s seed announcement allows us to grow aggressively in the Nigerian market, and we will continue to invest in building out our own solar powered infrastructure, as well as refine and expand our consumer focused product that delivers reliable, cost-effective Wifi to potentially millions of Nigerians. We aim to ‘win Lagos’, with a view to expanding across the West African region over the next 18-24 months,” said Kendall Ananyi.[/b]

Undoubtedly its a fact that while Biafrans were given 20 pounds each for their thousands and millions, that Afonjas were given loans in millions to buy into multinationals.
50 years down the line the difference isn't much.

Close your eyes and imagine if Afonja land was leveled by war and their wealth stolen. What do you think would have been of them?

The problem now is irrespective of tribe, the creativity of the private sector both at home and in the diaspora have to be felt in the nation. As a nation, we also have a large community in the diaspora to tap for the benefit of this nation, people who can invest here.
Entrepreneurship is the way forward, this our style of education sometimes could feel like a waste of time. Nysc programme should be converted to technical centers and other centers for businesses, while the N- power programme should be left for jobless youths with waec only, not graduates.
Agberos and touts who are jobless and play football from Monday till Sunday, they abound in this country.

Go ask El rufai and other notable non-Igbos who clearly admitted macro-economic/commercial Igbo dominance all over Nigeria; notably real estate and landed properties, of course I can post VERIFIABLE sources to these fact...maybe the likes of El rufai who stated that Igbos control a huge chunk of properties and inland estates in Abuja few years back knows something we don't know. Lots of Yorubas and Igbos do well both at home and at in diaspora, so no tribe is particularly outperforming the other if we are to go by hard facts and REALITY on ground, achievers abound everywhere! so celebrate yoruba greatness but don't drag Igbos into your slug fest di.cck measuring contest, cause I have literally can't see what Igbos have got to do with a thread that extols yoruba greatness...except the same Igbos are your perennial nightmares...which seems like the case to me.
