Yes and thanks to him, china now has 80% of all Nigerian data, passwords, address, and transaction algorithms.
what difference does that make ? It's not like Nigeria operates on credit ratings or give you bank loans etc. your Nigerian data is useless.

Meet the Owner of OPay in Nigeria

OPay, one of Nigeria’s leading fintech platforms, is owned by Chinese billionaire Zhou Yahui. He is the chairman of Opera Software, the parent company of OPay.

Originally founded as Paycom Nigeria Limited in 2013, OPay was rebranded after Opera acquired it. Zhou Yahui played a key role in its growth and holds about a 30% stake in the company. Under his leadership, OPay has become a major player in Nigeria’s digital payment space.

1. Opay is not a social enterprise so how are they making profit?

2. Chinese being renowned task masters, how are they treating their Nigerian workers?

3. I still believe they made one big mistake: not introducing their own POS on time.

I support you, the countries people are running to are founded on efficiency not corruption. That why they keep growing.

ClearFlair:
This is what happens when people are innovative and open-minded...they solve problems.

Let me tell you something for free. The type of people who support incompetence will never ever be in a position to solve any big problems because it's either they are the ones creating the problems or they have learnt to live with the problem. People who criticise incompetence are far more valuable to society because they are not blinded by loyalty or anything.

not Nigerian data. Maybe British and American. Your country does not even have a database of all it's citizens. Naija data is useless. What can you use it for ? Apply for bank loans or credit cards ? Lmaooooooo werey

Yes, moniepoint is a living example. Tosin Eniolorunda built it from the scratch to become one of the biggest fintech in Nigeria. They are the only competiing Fintech with Opay as at today.

You're right .

There are several fintech apps , developed and managed by Nigerians that are doing well .

What we haven't achieve yet is global market which is dominated by the Americans.

I make money in USD and CAD. Opay has been the best to receive naira from my foreign account. It drops immediately. Monday- Sunday, midnight or midday. Kudus for Opay!

Fintech platforms has really make payments easier and faster in Nigeria especially when it involves low and medium transactions.

He looks like Opay. He tried. He has a lasting common sense.

When Opay started many people rejected it but now almost everybody is using it. They dont deduct money but rather give cashback..中国很厉害

Everything begins by emotion-thought- word. Since that's the case, it won't be successful beyond what you can see from other Nigerian companies.

The problem we have on the African continent as a whole is like a SOFTWARE problem, unfortunately we're busy trying to repair HARDWARE.

The emergence of opay has brought solutions to financial transactions which Nigeria commercial banks couldn't resolve.

The has brought growth and development to the country as financial transactions are carried out seamlessly and promptly.

It has also created millions of jobs

yes thanks to Opay, Nigerian fingerprints, facial ID, passwords, financial algorithms, transaction algorithms, active phone numbers, is all in the hands of CHINA to use whenever they want. Thank you Opay.
You talk as if you own or invented Internet or satellite.
You think anything you do on Internet, including BVN, NIN and the others you did with your traditional banks cannot be trace or retrieved by hosting companies or dark webs? Dey play!

Yes, there absolutely Nigerian tech company that are doing greatly well. E transact, remitta, and also within the digital banks.
The only difference is that opay came with the mindset of ensuring account opening can be opened by anybody and everybody

Nigerians are hypocrites, top to bottom. I wish Opay could run these other commercial banks to the ground.

Tnx for easing d pains that comes with transactions,, though i got to register late due to doubt,,but now i know better..I remember during emefiele,,my uba frustrated me that i could only make transactions around 4am to 5am...Na long talk abeg..At times,,u will transfer to pos attendant and u had to wait until he or she sees alert..But with opay,,all pains are gone..tnx mr Zhou...
Yeah some of us doubted and saw Opay users as unserious people. But by the time the big brands showed us shege we had to give Opay the benefit of the doubt and ever since, the experience has been awesome.
