- Have you ever thought about the likelihood of solving a problem that troubles you a lot?
In this newest episode of Building from Africa, we dive into the world of Nigerian entrepreneurship with Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, CEO and general partner of Future Africa. As a serial entrepreneur, he's known for unlocking Africa's potential through technology. Having founded unicorns like Flutterwave and Andela, he's now empowering startup founders and business owners.
He shares the challenges and successes he encountered along the way, while building Andela and Flutterwave, an experience that can offer you valuable guidance in your business venture.
One of the key themes in Iyinoluwa's guide on building a business as an entrepreneur is the need to build with the intention of solving problems, and not chasing after the money.
He believes that when people do not find reason to stay at whatever they are doing, it is the best time for you to keep at whatever you are doing, because more often than not, it pays off, a reward that he can attest to.
If you have had questions on what it takes to successfully build a startup from Nigeria, this is the video for you. Watch it to the end, and let us know about your key takeaways in the comments section.

This dude is a down to earth type of guy. Remind me of one of my friend who will actually be telling you something serious and still be fun about it. I would love to meet him one on one just for interaction purpose
He really is. Its such a nice personality to have around. Like he said in the conversation, you can send him a direct message on Instagram or LinkedIn.
@@Venture_Valley but I can not find him on any of those platforms. Does he use same handle? Thank you for bringing this guys on your platform.
@@olababs2048 yes he does with his full name
The most humble wealthy person I have seen so far. Down to Earth... Always acknowledging God in his life. Giving credit to where it's Due🙌🏾.

Hmmm, "Tech isn't code, it's actually a productivity multiplier".

Like seriously Precious
these are the discussions worth listening too, much love from Ghana.
Asante Sana!!! We are glad you gave it a listen.😊

His understanding of human nature in investing is brilliant & how he laughs off bad investments even after investing is 👌, we can’t *techkify* everything, you need to know where the problem is and understand it, how to solve it & then implement it. CONSULTANCY owo ni ko ko 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very sound lessons right there!👏
Thanks for watching and we hope you will find our other content on the channel also insightful
There are some people who converse with others and you see reasons why they are where they are! Iyinoluwa is an example.

Build for both market if you can, today with THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA YOU can serve any market if you are honest and work with integrity on Excellency Level. Because business is all about solving problem. Whatever solution you have you can use it to solve any problem you see around you . I love this Business Progress Conversation to Empower and Equip God's people. In my Book, THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA , I share the importance of Collaborations which many Africans overlook because of this notional of building alone. Sometime you speed up your progress when you collaborate with serious and honest people who car for Success with Dignity.

lol. "Entrepreneurship as a Service" So rampant these days
Another privileged Yoruba boy in Lagos Iyonoluwa sbodeji or whatever ...
They have all the connections( uncles, fathers friends, fsthers, aunties) in Lagos and get the better juicy , high paying jobs over their Igbo classmates. Born and raised in the same Lagos state.
The latter having been smarter than them back in school.
The reality of Lagos Nigeria
What the hell are you talking about lol 😂. So comfortable in ignorance
This sounds scary
Right, financiers can increase or decrease your funding at will, that could make or break whatever venture you’re involved in at any given time, because what entity doesn’t require funding, they all do it’s truly gambling 😳
