There's nothing wrong with him celebrating his tribesmen....those who celebrate good things will also have good things happening to them.

Thanks for this.

However Havenhill is not yet up to the $1b valuation mark to achieve Unicorn status.

If I’m just counting startups with <$1B valuation then you can be sure to see all those dominated by Yorubas.

Nigerians are creative and intelligent people, but her Government is nothing to write home about. I will always commend the youth. Most especially Southern Youths.
BigBashiru thinks blacks are inferior to whites because he supports a corrupt government that he refuses to blame for Nigeria's doomed economy.
He has been blinded by inferiority complex so he can't see the achievements of blacks in science and technology.
Nonsense and ingredients.

Mumu did you know any on these Fintech’s companies under pdp? Zombie do you think Bola Tinubu is a blind bat like you, do you know how much jagaban has invested in these start up companies, isn’t it ironic that they were all started by Yorubas? Useless Hater.

If you didn't state this, I would never have known Calendly is owned by a Nigerian or someone with a Nigerian heritage. Impressive.

Thanks for the info. I'll also check city block.

If you're a nigerian tech company and you don't have a hausa/fulani lobbyist in Abuja you're simply wasting your time.... it's only a matter of time that those vultures come at you.

The guy is smart, the company dont have much root in Nigeria. Crypto was banned in naija but we still they run crypto for binance.

All of you are plain dumb. Do you need to be told that Buhari's administration policy is centered around homegrown businesses and investments? Is that not the reason why so many items are banned from importation? Dumbasses

Wetin concern your lineage with Flutterwave.

You tribalists living vicariously with other people's achievements are so silly. Successful people of tribe 1 and tribe 2 are more connected to each other than with less successful members of their ethnic group.

In other words, a successful Yoruba man would rather be connected to a successful Igbo man than with urchins like this who are "proud of their lineage"

I take these kind of silent achievers as my mentors. In other news this what we call business not 2by2 shops owners claiming billionaires. We have countless Yoruba silent billionaires but you will never hear them making noise like our brothers from the east....that's what will call omo oluwa bi(odu to bi iwa)
Its obvious you're obsessed with igbo people. Cant you make your comment without involving an igbo person peacefully running his "2by2 shop" .I am sure you dont even know what it takes to run a business in a Kiosk.

Re: Flutterwave Raises $170 Million, now Valued at Over $1 Billion by Tap0lane: 8:07am On Mar 10, 2021
Foolish igbo do you go about quoting your miserable igbo tribesmen promoting Kanu Kalu Umahi Ugwuanyi Ikpeazu if they are doing something meaningful with their pathetic life.

How many Yorubas do praising singing even me that I do not like Tinubu foolish Igbo like you make me start defending him out of unwarranted hate you dish out to him for your pathetic miserable tribe in Alaigbo so oga shut your foolish mouth n go about warning your bigoted igbo fathers to stop envying Yoruba else laslas your entire tribe go commit suicide over Yoruba matter. Oloriburuku from the wretched South.



SmartPolician:


Sure, there are lots of Yoruba guys in Fintech, including PayStack.

However, I just hope you are doing something meaningful with your life because the way you promote Bola Tinubu's 2023 agenda should make someone wonder what you plan to achieve in life.

Work hard so that the world will recognize and celebrate you like the rest of the names who made your list.
