I could be wrong but I have noticed a pattern. Founders who win in West Africa are those who crack distribution first before perfecting their products.
See Jumia for instance, they didn't wait for good road networks or for their tech guys to build digital payments. They built their own delivery fleet, recruited local agents, created pickup stations. Cash-on-delivery in an era when bank accounts weren't saturated.
Moniepoint recruited agents in markets, motor parks, neighborhood shops. 600K+ agents later, they dominate the POS market in Nigeria.
OmniRetail? 1,100 vehicles and 85 logistics partners later, they were twice named Africa's fastest-growing company between 2020-2023
I think it is safe to say that in Africa, distribution isn’t infrastructure—it is PEOPLE. Agent networks, local logistics, grassroot partners, community trust built street by street.
I think the competitive advantage for crypto founders in emerging markets isn’t their app but their ability to reach the unreachable.

🚨Must-Watch: The Hiring Secret Every Tech Leader Needs to Know in 2025! 🚨
I sat down with @Shopify's @fnthawar — and trust me, you do NOT want to miss this.
His bombshell insight? Hiring in the age of AI has completely changed. With tools like @lovable, @cursor_ai, and @windsurf_ai shaking up how devs work — and LLMs going mainstream — coding skills just aren’t enough anymore. The real game-changer? Adapting to the code AI generates.
This isn’t just another hot take — it’s a sneak peek at the future of engineering. Watch the full clip now — this could change how you hire forever!

A new report from @DevcenterSquare found that remote work is still unavailable for most developers in Nigeria. techcabal.com/2019/12/17/for…
Devcenter retweeted
@DevcenterSquare's easy-to-read "State of Code Jobs" report contains very insightful and interesting information about Nigeria's growing software development industry. With 6 'Top Findings' & 2 'Hot Takes', it is well worth the read. gigson.co/stateofcodejobs

What we learned from @DevcenterSquare's 'State of Code Jobs' report
- Despite increased talk of remote work, most employers still require you to come to the office
- Lagos is the place to be
- Mid-level and senior developers are in high demand.

The dogma for developers in Nigeria; forget remote work (it barely exists), be a senior developer lest you earn peanuts and, by all means, move to Lagos!
