embarassed embarassed I just hope that Mamadou Bouhari and Amadou Tinoubou won't frustrate them into oblivion like they did with a lot of companies.

Yes, but you only escape when they don't know where your back office is. Whatever business you are doing in Nigeria, don't expose your secret and don't advertise your success too much. A lot of witches and wizards are here. Flutterwave has made payment gateway very easy and simple.

Yoruba have brains


Na only mouth and muscles ọmọ nna get. When they boasts of unseen Anambra billionaires, know that Yoruba have hundreds of legit billionaires known world over not those doing $70,000 deal cocaine business then buy money spraying machine to express their inferiority complex openly. cheesy Nothing spectacular about them and that's why they can't stop coming to Yoruba space. They will rather die here. grin

Where are baby pounders from potopoto land, come celebrate with your masters and you also should stop disgracing your region, stop doing money rituals, prostitution, drug pushing etc that you are known for. We all knew that crimes flow in your blood but for once you also need to use your brain

Those Okoro Savages too sabi make mouth yet, they're behind in everything from Science & Tech to Education to Music to Arts to Culture to Sports to Infrastructure to Development to even common-sense.

Even the 10 biggest churches in Africa are all Yoruba owned despite the fact that those Savages are 99% Christians. All their Pastors are Yahoo-Yahoo mofos! grin

And I'm asking again, are Yorubas the only ones in this startups/fintech thing? Every gaddem achievement Nigeria records in tech seems to be from Yorubas. What exactly is happening?

Hi......
The proliferation of fintech services across Africa remains in full swing as investors remain bullish about the opportunities that abound in the sector. Today we behold another unicorn: African payments company Flutterwave announced that it has closed $170 million, valuing the company over $1 billion. New York-based private investment firm Avenir Growth Capital and US hedge fund and investment firm Tiger Global led the Series C round.

I'm worried, honestly!

APC is a killer of enterprising businesses.

I hope Agboola quickly targets other African countries.

Bullsh!t...

Both those countries that you mentioned both came together and agreed to form a union and yes tribe my not be an issue in Canada or America but race certainly is, it's why Obama was touted as the first black president, nigeria is a construct formulated in berlin, it's not a tribe. your analogy is weak. Plus people can still make money and appreciate their tribesmen.
