Co-founder

I have an even more technical friend who has agreed to work on this with me as a co-founder, a worthy CTO! We have been good friends for years and both started tech journey together from the scratch. I hope we can weather the storms together and make good on this journey. This would test and grill us in so many ways, but I believe we can achieve success.

Like @1k001 stated, "...but the general trend i find from my reading is the recommendation that founders be friends(ly) prior to founding the venture"

The Idea

A variation and more encompassing version of my initial idea stick to my memory through the years and has matured even more with experience in different fields and all. I wrote a rough prototype as far back as 2019 but work and other distractions took over.

At this time, I am willing to dedicate everything (time, skills, finance) within the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2024 to the technical progress of this start-up. I have always had it at the back of my mind that I'm going to create something of value (hopefully it turns great).

The Beginning

In 2012 during my youth service, a colleague made mention of rendering just any service that fetches you a mere N1 from every Nigerian and in turn fetches them even more value as well. At that time, I just watched "The Social Network" movie which inspired me to begin learning to code (I was not fully into programming until years later). No, he did not describe anything in particular - he was only thinking out loud. I keyed into that thought-process as I do not fancy going into any 9-5 job after NYSC.

However, before the end of my NYSC I had coded the hundreds of static HTML pages comprising of Nigeria States and Local Government areas before I realised I could use achieve dynamic pages with proper backend languages. I actually packaged what I had then and visited many target companies in the state capital and suburbs but I had limited time and my solution was sub-par. I was an amateur coder! I'd wanted to pay to learn but the dude who could teach was charging crazy amount to teach.

I am in the process of starting up a tech company with a colleague. Hopefully this is the year after so much distractions!
Immense funding would be needed but it is not my focus at this point as it could paralyse the process.
Tangible product must hit the ground before soliciting for funding.

I love this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/2181066/tech-start-up-journey). I found it few minutes ago and will make it a part of my learning resources/guides.

I want to make this into a journal of our progress. I hope to finally get that enough discipline to see this through and update this thread as often as possible, with tangible progress only.

I love this.
Kudos to you, sir.

Brilliant

Gorgeous

Old news but this trows more light on the matters - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-4704398/Money-control-walking-away-easy.html

Gross. The most ineffectual governor in the history of Nigeria is Kayode Fayemi, all he does is blow grammar up and down. Such an incompetent person, Ekiti is a dreg all because of him!
Maybe his wife is better I really don't know.

of course

kernniejay:
I quite agree with you. I was surprised when I read some days back that Simi was not allowed into Immigration Office because of indecent dressing, I was like is this the Simi that I once knew to be a cool and decent "girl"?
Well, the popular saying that your true colour will not be revealed until you have money, fame or power is a valid statement.

I don't think that was because of exposing body but because of wig, facials and makeup/earrring kinda stuff.

Before nko?

Ezeama400:
Bola is a bloody coward !!!

You are arresting a man that took an instruction from his Boss, if Emefle was acting against the directives of the presidency, they would have stopped him

Godwin didn't act on his own.. Arrest Buhari ist..

Tinubu has started creating enemies across Nigeria starting from SS region..

South south leaders will respond at the proper time ...

Let the drug lord flex muscle small while it lasts..
His unfortunate rodents should not fly to my mention like house flies

Lol, what stops him from resigning if he is not complicit in the grand act?
Some people love to cry foul unnecessarily. From the atrocities listed you see nothing negative in them at all?

ok

it's well

Chai, lucky and congrats. N7m in 2017 is equivalent to N13m today, 2023.

I bought the land half plot at 4m ajah 2018 and fence it round with gate with about 700k dec 2018 and keep hustling .
I started the project of house June 2021, I have 10m ready and I supervise it my self with the help of my brother when am not available.

Out of the 10m I did foundation , you know Lagos is water land so the foundation takes like 2.5m with Germany floor all solid materials bought myself and setting of blocks don't take much till linted and finally decking , that consume like 4m because, plumber , electrician, carpenter, and welder will work .

That's one of the stage that takes much money cus I bought only iron like 1.5m .

After that stage you will set blocks base on your plans mine is 4bedroom , 2 palours , 4bedrooms , kitchen, store, dinny and all duplex need .
After setting of blocks u will so another linted and if you like you can include paraphet that may cost u nothing less than 500k or more .

The to the roofing another spending .
Since I used Gerald, carpenter will buy a lot of wood and it's must be hard wood cus gelrad is heavy and base on the square meter , mine is around 283 , all I spend for roofing was around 3m . So I spent like 11.5m to 12m to roofing , what I spent not someone's project .

I thought it's almost done but house nah long things ooooo.
Let me just note all once not to stress una with my English .
I rest and continue Jan 2022

Casement window 1.3m
All house pop around 1m
Plastering chop material 2m
Electricals like 2m
Plumbling takes money like electrical , like 2m
Only where I put water thank is 500k cus it must he very tall since it's duplex .
Kitchen cabinet and others 1m
Screeding and painting =1.5
Tiles= 1.7 or more
Doors = more than 1m

I can't even list all cus they no dey finish house once , have moved in October 2022 so I wish this can help a lil

Very detailed, God bless you.
I completed a 3-bedroom bungalow last October and i can attest that your estimates are spot on.

lmao

Femisol:
Oyo state politics is just different on its own.

Amala politics pelu Awon alamala politicians.

Very smelling and dirty indeed.

Sadly No progress in that state despite being the political capital of Yoruba land due to things beyond explanations.

You're the only one crying.

ok

good move

Good one! A friend was raped to death at her sister's house too during her final undergraduate year about 9-10 years ago and the assailants were never found till date.

error

well

Nothing special, just wide roads. No brilliant architectural sights to behold. Lagos is even more beautiful if not for traffic and shit.

On to the next...

Newly married??

It wears off don't worry

Means they never dated?

seunmsg:
Why are they so angry that the boys are back? We trended #Bringbackourboys and they are all back. So, why the anger?

When Chibok girls were abducted, we all urged the Jonathan government to do everything possible to bring them back. If Jonathan had been proactive in the early days of the abduction, all the girls would have been safely returned and international embarrassment would have been avoided.

Buhari simply learnt from Jonathan’s mistake by moving quickly to negotiate a peaceful release instead of living in denial and blaming opposition like Jonathan did. So, why are they angry that he did everything possible to return the boys? Is this not what we all wanted?

SMH for you.

Looks fun
