Made In Ibadan: A Chat with Oyenike Adeleke of Ibadan Entrepreneurs Network

Mrs. Oyenike Adeleke of Ibadan Entrepreneurs Network

Ibadan Entrepreneurs Network started as part of my a desire to see entrepreneurs thrive in Ibadan. I am an entrepreneur myself and I looked at the challenges I face in running my business. I was able to tell myself that I needed someone to help me overcome these challenges. That is why I started to the network, in order to help people in Ibadan to do business the right way. In Ibadan, there are no mentors, nobody for entrepreneurs to pattern their businesses after, unlike what we have in Lagos or Abuja or other big cities. So We formed a network where we collaborate where we network and where we generally help each other to do our businesses the right way.

The reason why Ogun (skull mining capital of the world) is what it is now is because Lagos is landlocked and is gradually swallowed up by flooding.
Even ibadan with all the road side feces-laden polythene bags as a result of shotput can never measure up to any local govt in Anambra.

lol please provide facts on what the SE contributes to Nigeria....

The Rise Of Startups In Ibadan; A Pointer To Technological Development.

A startup company (startup or start-up) is an entrepreneurial venture which is typically a newly emerged, fast-growing business that aims to meet a marketplace need by developing or offering an innovative product, process or service. A startup is usually a company such as a small business, a partnership or an organization designed to rapidly develop a scalable business model.
The newly arisen rate of startup company using Ibadan as a case study is essential to the city’s response to Digital Media and Technology in a whole.
In the recent years, Almost every startup company has a monumental attachment to either Internet networking or high Technology consumption rate.
Many have questioned when Nigeria would finally grow to become driven by technology. The answer, a few years ago would have been “in hundred years”. However, with the recent tech evolution in all parts of the country, it is evident that Nigeria is becoming more technologically inclined.

The visits of Mark Zuckerberg and Y Combinator to Nigeria are a pointer to the quality of investments that the country can attract with technology advancement.

It is true that these visits are a validation of the budding tech ecosystem. However, some have argued that the visits shouldn’t be considered as an achievement.
Any real effort to see Nigerian technology occupy a noteworthy position on the global map means that the startup culture has to grow quickly beyond to this landscape called Ibadan.
The size and maturity of the startup ecosystem where the startup is launched and where it grows have an effect on the volume and success of the startups. The startup ecosystem consists of the individuals (entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, Angel investors, mentors).
This ecosystem must have a connected structure with institutions; take for example, University of Ibadan is an institution located very near to Bodija areas where the elites live and where high income startups started off.

A startup called HelpMum was started by a student of UI, Adereni Abiodun and co founded by Tojola bolaji. These two guys are products of the institution system.
This Event for example is a valid portrait of an ecosystem that can help the Ibadan startup environment.
Startup South-west is a private initiative by ef-oneweb designed to create business development support for small tech startups with growth potential designed to help them achieve that potential.
The idea is to open the techpreneural ecosystem in South-west Nigeria by identifying the key stakeholders of acceleration and ICT startups and fostering coordinated involvement and smart cooperation among them.

Startups like Afridext is an online marketplace where customers buy and sell high-quality graphic designs relevant to the African market at preferred prices.

Several startups such as Ibridge Hub, Whatsup Ibadan, Ibadan insider, ibcity info, illusion group. All these business in the nearest future will form a giant of corporation that will protect the heritage of the startup ecosystem in Ibadan and introduce her to the outside territories.

I don't have to prove anything to you. I owe you no obligation whatsoever so you can as well choose to believe whatever you wish to. Afterall, there are Igbos in top levels of the Government in some other advanced countries and they are HUMAN. (Waiting for you to fetch a spurious list of yorubas working as janitors in government establishments abroad in response as per the usual yoruba "chest-beating" gra-gra.)

You do if you're claiming to own this and that, yet the facts are against you. Yet the figures are against you.

Okay easy question, what do the Ibos contribute to Nigeria's economy?

You can take it to the bank.

SuperS1Panther:
This applaudable thread has made the most passionate and boastful Osu to respect the Yorubas by fire by force.

Despite all their noise making and chest beating, they have ran out of industries to post on their shameful and pathetic thread.

Kudos guys.

If our Yoruba brothers stop helping them with that thread, e no go past page 81 walahi.

I don't understand why they keep posting there.
