I am slowly getting used to the fact that I will be lucky if get to write to this blog more than twice a year.
I had been meaning to put down a few thoughts for the past few months, but never got round to it. There a lot of reasons why I could not do it...but I will be honest today and tell you it was procrastination ...there ...i said it!

Cele’s Article
I
was however jolted out my happy state of work filled bliss by an
article on LinkedIn
by my friend Celestine Ezeokoye
which I think is well worth a read (its not a very long article...so go
on...click the link). To give you a summary of what Celestine is
saying: Nigeria already has a thriving tech industry. He goes on to
list a number of heavy hitting Nigerian tech firms that were started
locally by locals and have grown to become giants on the tech landscape
and are doing quite well...to the extent that some of them have
received up to 90M USD in funding and so on. Celestine encourages the
current generation of tech entrepreneurs to do more to stand on the
shoulders of the now established tech entrepreneurship giants who have
done so much and learnt so much to achieve success in this rough
socio-economic landscape that is Nigeria. He says that we should also
do more to promote the successes of these guys who have silently gone
about their business in building great tech companies that are looking
to stand the test of time (Again...read the article, its not as long as
this one).
