African startups had just raised over $2 billion dollars in venture capital and everyone was riding high on the euphoria of the success of startups with mega fund-raising announcement and even bigger valuations.

In Nigeria • 2 min read In an earlier article, I asked who was responsible for the failure of African states. In it, I argue that if anyone is to be blamed for our current state of affairs, it is Africa's intellectual class. The poor are too weak and uneducated to create any sustained change.

In Africa • 3 min read Where 2 or 3 Africans are gathered, conversations about our countries are sure follow. And the conversations haven’t changed much for decades.

In Technology • 1 min read Narrow vs wide: Early stage social products need to go niche first then expand slowly.
