  • Innovating Africa Documentary: The Rise of Tech in Nigeria tells the growth story of the tech scene in Nigeria over the last 15 years. Through raw interviews, it paints a vivid picture of the struggles & triumphs of the industry’s early days. You’ll meet passionate founders who took huge risks to push boundaries, investors who backed founders they believed in and see how their determination changed the landscape. Most inspiring are the everyday impact stories - talents whose lives improved because of bold ideas. It’s a reminder that innovation happens through perseverance against all odds.
    This film preserves a history that deserves to be remembered. It deserves to be shared to inspire the next generation of African problem solvers.

    A civilization that doesn’t document its history and culture is doomed to be lost and forgotten .
    This is more than a story or a documentary, you’ve created an archive for generations to come. The labors of heroes past in the Nigerian tech ecosystem past will never be forgotten thanks to you ❤

    Love this. I was disappointed when I watched Bloomberg did a documentary on Nigerian tech space and titled it "chaotic" and only talked about physical energy in Nigeria, so so much biases. Its good we tell our own stories by our selves. Keep it up peace. We are behind you.

      but these are FOREIGN OWNED institutions that are EXPLOITING the INTELLECTUAL brains of this continent because we ourselves, like GOVT and TERTIARY institutions are NOT USING these BRAINS to DEVELOP products that are NOT OWNED by the COLONIZERS! When they develop PAGA or MPESA as Nigerian or Kenya it MASKS the FACT that these are COLONIZER companies being run by OUR BRIANS!...but these BRAINS will NEVER OWN the PATENT for the PRODUCTS they DEVELOP!...that means only the COLONIZERS are BENEFITING! as they OWN the PATENT in PERPETUAITY benefiting their children but these TECH BRAINS pass on NOTHING to their childrens children...that is a TRAGEDY!!
