I've just been following this thread without commenting but I just have to come in before my Yoruba brothers are charged with mother and multiple homicide. Oh Lawd! This is too much for my Igbo brothers to take. I hereby plead for clemency on their behalf.


So in addition
Damatol is owned by Folashade Awe
There is Bond Chemicals in Awe
Amo Byng one of the biggest poultry farms in Nigeria is in Awe
There is Fashola farms along Iseyin road that can feed the whole of South East
Ajanla Farms, Chi and Zartech can provide all the poultry needs of the South East. We are even yet to mention Animal Care that dwarfs anything the South can boast of. Obasanjo farms is there. South West farms supply eggs to the north. the south east and I've seen eggs loaded in buses being transported to as far as Portharcourt. I've never seen eggs or poultry products coming to the south west from any part of Nigeria.
Ibadan is the publications capital of Nigeria. The top publishers in Nigeria are in Ibadan.

Enterprise54 was able to track down Samson Abioye, (CEO and one of the co-founders) to discuss the progress they’ve made so far.

So, Pass.ng is now on WeChat. Apart from the increased accessibility it offers, (WeChat users can now take the tests from inside the app) how else does this benefit Pass.ng? Doesn’t that increase your workload a bit?

This comes with increased visibility and distribution for our product. You may have noticed our ads on BRT buses, radio and some TVC. For a startup like ours, getting our brand out there is really helpful. Well of course it does increase our workload. You can imagine building an app on top of an already existing platform. We had to understand WeChat development pre-requisite and some other connections to different API. Overall, it was fun achieving those goals as we didn’t see it as being burdensome because we began with the end in mind. The Pass.ng-WeChat partnership has afforded more students to use our product.

I like the fact that you can compare your scores with the scores of other students on the site. Which makes me curious. How do you decide what features to add/include in the app/service? Is there a democratic process or it’s your call eventually?

We are close to our users. Sometimes we have an event, called UX (user experience) in-house. There we study our users, see how they use our products and come up with features that matter most to them. Also we have a brilliant and energetic team with whom we brainstorm after interacting with our users.

Pass.ng looks like a programming intensive platform. How much did your programming background help with the success of the platform? Do you think this would be possible for someone without that technical knowhow?

I can’t rule out the mileage we got from being tech co-founders. I, Adebagbo Joshua, Abayomi Akanji and Imole Oluyemi studied computer science and engineering in university Ladoke Akintola University of Technology where we learnt programming and software development. On a couple of occasions, we represented our university in both local and international events. The thing about running a tech-startup business is that you’ve got to iterate a lot until you find the right product-market fit. Having a good knowledge of tools to use and the technical know-how is extremely essential as you can extend your run time, iterate, measure feedback and improve the product.
