Ownership vs Victimhood
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. The rich are too comfortabl...

The World Is A Reflection Of The Mind
In Nigeria • 1 min read The world around us is a reflection of the human mind. This is something that Iā€™ve come to internalize and come to believe deeply.

Why have African societies failed?
In Africa • 3 min read Where 2 or 3 Africans are gathered, conversations about our countries are sure follow. And the conversations havenā€™t changed much for decades. Weā€™ll ask ā€˜who is to blame for Africaā€™s lack of progress?ā€™ and answers will range from colonial masters and their legacy, to a global conspiracy by the W...

In Technology • 1 min read Narrow vs wide: Early stage social products need to go niche first then expand slowly. Focus needs to be connecting people within a particular interest, and scaling that community up. In this case, the technology community is a natural fit for early adopters. Building for all is akin to boiling t...
