Spot on! I asked Mr Bolaji Balogun why it's harder for some founders to be trusted with millions of dollars, compared to others. He explained the WHY and shared that he'll always have time for founders like Tosin & GB because they honed their craft somewhere and understand P&L, structure, and discipline. Watch:

I asked Mr Temi Popoola, CEO of The Nigerian Stock Exchange Nigerian Exchange Group, if he's made progress getting Interswitch and Flutterwave to list on the NGX. His response: "If I'm a huge unicorn today and my current shareholder base is funds out of the US, funds out of anywhere in the world in Dollars. How can it be that my valuable proposition to you, as an Exchange, is a Naira listing locally? Which simply says, can we have a market that does allow a dollar-related type of listing?"

I asked ELITE operator and ex-CMO of MTN Adia Sowho about the G.O.A.T moment in Nigerian tech that made her think anything was possible. Adia: "My G.O.A.T moment is not a popular one. The first company that got called a unicorn is Interswitch Group. They got an investment from Visa that put their valuation at a billion dollars. Nobody talks about Interswitch enough. I think it’s because their products don’t seem as sexy as we’ll expect, so the hype is different. That’s a company we should give a lot more flowers." 100% agree with this!
