It's easy to say this when you're not in his shoes. cheesy

Stripe is Paystack's number 1 benefactor.

I don't really think Stripe is taking over like that , he'll still be in charge of the company but he now works for the oga at the top as an important stakeholder/shareholder.

It'll be like what Microsoft did with Github.

I didn't say it wasn't good for him to receive the money, after all zuck was offer $1b for fb and he declined. u think it is good if how money is move in the country is controlled by a us company, if that keeps happening I doubt if we have a chance.

Don't blame the guy.

YouTube founder sold it.
Whatsapp founder sold it.
Github founders sold it.
And many more.

Local millionaires and billionaires are not ready to invest. Just imagine if Dangote or Adenuga or Otedola had invested in paystack, you think he'll sell?

What if stripe now come to Nigeria to compete with paystack, you think paystack will stand a chance?

Exactly not to mention that CBN can come with a weird policy now this is Stripe's Headache Shola can relax and focus on the next thing. But I just hope it means opening the door for Nigerians, I like to see how receiving of dollars can be made possible with ease. That's one thing I feel can help Nigeria
