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 ❤
this comment wins! my exact thoughts
I see you guys! 😭😭 thank you for being here
🙌🙌♥️
Congratulations Peace
Thank you for this beautiful work. Truly inspiring.
The story of the Nigerian Tech Ecosystem has never been told this way before now.
Well done Peace Itimi, and thank you for your amazing work.
This is a great peace of work 👏👏
Congratulations to Peace and the FC Team 🎉
This is great work, Peace. Well done.
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.
Don't mind the racists at Bloomberg.
For staying till the end. Wow! Thank you
Peace Itimi, I give you your flowers 🌻Guys, let's gather here and give Peace Itimi her flowers.
Thank you sooo much for watching everyone!
thanks for taking your time to do this. You're the best ;)
Thank you and your team❤ S.A
Peace you did very well ! Thank you and merry Christmas 🎄
Hi Peace. The background music is a bit too much. Mind looking into that for the next documentary? Thanks
Cool documentary. I'm watching this in Zimbabwe. The Nigerian success is an African success. Andela employs Zimbabweans and other African nationalities so the success of Nigerian companies trickles down to the whole of Africa.
I imagine the time, resources, money, people, blood, sweat, and tears that went into this production. Well done. This is evergreen content. Thank you for this.
Great video, just on one suggestion for me the background music was little distracting.
This originally should be a Netflix movie. Such a masterpiece.
I am pleased that we can narrate our African-Nigerian story without the biases of external influences.
Itimi, all I would say is THANK YOU. I hope someday we are all able to collectively give you your flowers. You are doing a lot for FREE to guide us in this tech ecosystem in Nigeria and the entire African continent.
Thank you, Peace. Thank You!
This is not just some "content" for me. It is an attempt to draw the blueprint for the future of Tech in Nigeria and Africa. Peace's work on this will never be forgotten. Thanks and I want to see more!
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!!
Great work! Its motivating to clearly see how far we have come and how far we are about to go. The ecosystem's transition is echoing optimization!
Well said!
Love this 💕💕💕
For me, I look forward to a future where techprenuers are not just focused on building fintech apps, but also look into solving other problems we face in this space.
Spot on!
We’re coming. 😂 Fintech have open the gateway… more and more tech products will arise in no time
I love you peace for this❤
Amazing all the way from zim🇿🇼
I'm a Congolese 🇨🇩 business enthusiast. Wow! What an inspiring documentary, I loved watching it and learned from everyone featured.
Much respect to all the Nigerian 🇳🇬 founders and investors as well.
Thank you very much Peace Itimi for making and publishing this documentary.
Future looks bright in Africa 🌍❤
This documentary just reinforced my biggest dream that hope is still here. That the young people will rescue Nigeria and Nigerians from the fangs of these old folks.
Stop decieving yourself
@jayo3074 stop trying to instill hopelessness
@@Speedofdark339 I'm sorry but I genuinely have no hope for Nigerian. Until the youth rise and start a revolution nothing will change.
@@jayo3074 it's sort of happening right now with all the diaspora
@@Speedofdark339 the only thing diasporans can do is come and bring their skills and knowledge to start businesses and develop industries but real serious change will require government involvement. Diasporans are not going to build the roads, provide stable electricity, reduce inflation, reduce food prices, these are things that the government control not diasporans
Well Done 💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽⚒️🔑💎🏆🥂

Great job to be honest. Thank you for documenting this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you so much. If you'd permit. I aim to share this with our community of students (university) in a movie watch during our bootcamp to serve as encouragement to the creatives and innovators amongst them.
I have immense respect for the Nigerian tech industry, witnessing its continual growth and proactive approach in tackling new challenges is truly remarkable. The innovative methods they employ are inspiring. I also hold great admiration for the achievements of the Andela Mafia.

Engaged in email discussions with Peace regarding scheduling for the founders' for this documentary shoot, I witnessed the dedication she put into it. Upon opening her email titled "Thank You and Seasons Greetings" this morning, I hurriedly reached here after spotting the TH-cam link.
This is truly exceptional and very thoroughly done.
Kudos Peace - you truly deserve all the recognition.
Bloomberg media, take note; this exemplifies a well-executed documentary.
