Frustrated by the lack of skin-tone choices to go with her ever-expanding wardrobe, Nubian Skin founder, Ade Hassan, decided it was time for ‘a different kind of nude’. 1 Like |

Nigerian-Yoruba Developers Launch Bitcoin Exchange for Africa Called Bitkoin.Africa www.cryptovest.com/news/nigerian-developers-launch-bitcoin-exchange-for-africa-called-bitkoinafrica/ A team of developers in Nigeria, led by Timi Ajiboye, has managed to launch a Bitcoin exchange for Africa – Bitkoin.Africa. The exchange comes with a secure platform and an automated escrow service along with Bitcoin buying and selling via debit cards (Visa and Mastercard) and sale proceeds can go directly to your Nigerian bank account. While Nigeria gets full functionality, other countries in the region can only buy Bitcoin for now. Many believe Africa is a region ripe for cryptocurrency adoption. E.A Afolabi, an IT company CEO in Nigeria, believes people want cryptocurrencies for online shopping and are also drawn to them given the economic instability in the region. 1 Like |

Meet the Man Running the Only Bitcoin Node In West Africa [Yoruba] https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xy5evk/meet-the-man-running-the-only-bitcoin-node-in-west-africa Stashed away somewhere in Lagos is a lonely piece of bitcoin software. Running on a server in a data center in the Nigerian capital, it's the only reachable bitcoin node of its type not just in the country, but in almost all of West and Central Africa, without a companion for thousands of miles in every direction. The node in Lagos is owned and run by 35 year old software developer Tim Akinbo, who said that his interest in bitcoin stems from gaps in the African financial ecosystem. "Moving money from one country to another in Africa can be very tough," Akinbo says in a Skype call. "Right now it's easier for you to send money to the US than it is to send it to another African country. I saw bitcoin as a technology that could really change that." Bitcoin nodes are fundamental to keeping the bitcoin network functioning: each of them is a physical or virtual machine (a self-contained computer operating system deployed alongside other programmes on a more powerful piece of hardware) running the bitcoin software in conjunction with a stored copy of the blockchain, constantly synced between them in order to maintain a decentralized database of transactions. But though the network may not have a center, certain areas still have a far greater node density: as the below chart from bitcoin mapping site bitnodes.21.co shows, North America and Western Europe have a high concentration, whereas most of Asia, Africa and South America have only a small scattering. Akinbo chose to run his own node to learn about the workings of the cryptocurrency in depth and contribute to the strength of the network as a whole. For reasons of price and practicality most Nigerians are unlikely to choose this option – Akinbo's server costs are 10,000 Naira per month ($32) in a country where GDP per capita is only around $3000 – but nonetheless, it's part of a growing interest in bitcoin in the country overall. ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

The best street food in New York is from this Nigerian-Yoruba vendor [img]https://metrouk2.files./2017/09/capture64.png?w=748&h=430&crop=1[/img] It’s all you ever hear about from mates who’ve visited the big apple – how INCREDIBLE the pizza slices are. But next time you know of someone about to head across the pond, you might want to tell them to forget the ersatz Italian in favour of something far more flavoursome. Because the best street food in New York is Nigerian. According to The Vendy Awards – the annual street food competition which determines who is crowned best street food vendor in NYC, DF Nigerian is the greatest food truck operating in the Big Apple. Founded by Nigerian couple Godshelter and Bisola Oluwalogbon, the truck’s been going for two years. It all started with Godshelter selling meals out of the back of his car outside the Nigerian embassy in the middle of Manhattan. In New York – a city with so many different ethnicities – it’s fantastic to see a proper home-grown West African business winning the hearts of diners. After all, those of us who are from Ghanian and Nigerian backgrounds know how good the food is, but it’s not a particularly mainstream cuisine. At least, not yet.

Why Muyiwa Ogungboye sold everything he had to seed-fund eStream Networks As the CEO of one of Nigeria’s largest enterprise internet service providers, Muyiwa Ogungboye prides himself in his capacity to endure hardship. But things were so difficult in the earlier days of building his company — eStream Networks — that he almost threw in the towel twice. On one occasion, crucial equipment got fried up, causing the company network to shut down and they didn’t have the resources to import a replacement. “We lost all our business in one day,” Muyiwa told me during a recent interview at the eStream Networks office in Victoria Island, Lagos. ![]() Needless to say, Muyiwa was all but ready to pack up the business. But as fate would have it, one of his staff members convinced him to reach out to a company director who linked him up with a friend in the US. This friend agreed to ship down a replacement, on credit, with a 6-month repayment plan. Muyiwa hasn’t looked back since then. eStream Networks has grown from a strictly satellite communications company to expand into radio, fibre and direct-to-consumer 4G/LTE retail (in the works). https://techpoint.ng/2017/10/16/muyiwa-ogungboye-founder-estream-networks/ 2 Likes |

Their start-up company called DropBuddies, connects people who need their packages delivered to a specific destination, with those who are headed towards such destination points. Their whole delivery process uses a combination of technology and logistics, to execute its' "peer-to-peer package delivery service", which relies on GPS to alert couriers closest to indicated pickup points, via push notification on their mobile device. For now, they offer services within Lagos, but have plans to move into Abuja, Port-Harcourt etc. ![]() Oluwatomi Solanke , Co Founder of DropBuddies, has a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, from where he graduated in 2013.

deomello: ![]() Femi Kuti, Ope Olumeken and Matthew Mayaki are three friends who launched Kangpe an online medtech app in Nigeria, but Femi Kuti came up with the idea originally while working as a medical doctor, within the country. ![]() He recalls that friends and patients would constantly call him up, or send over text messages about their symptoms, so it occurred to him that it would be a good idea to turn the advice he was giving out for free, into a startup company. Kangpe is an online platform, that allows Africans to contact doctors remotely, using their mobile devices. Medical staff answer patients' questions for a small fee, or refer the customer/patient to a doctor, for further assistance. ![]() Kangpe now operates in Ghana and Kenya as well, potentially serving a combined population of roughly 245 million people at the moment.

Teragro Commodities Ltd is a subsidiary of Transcorp Group, and the C.E.O is Dupe Olusola, an intelligent and delectable mother of 2 girls and wife of the top lifestyle and finance coach [Usi Ekiti-born Lanre Olusola]. What Delta-born Tony Elumelu did was to use top female executives to oversee the different subsidies of Transcorp Group including Awele, his Delta-born wife. Since women have been found to be good corporate managers, I think he took that decision of using women to head specific projects. I noticed a significant number of top corporate Yoruba women heading those subsidiaries. All the best! ![]() 1 Like |

JeetKuneDo:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ @JeetKuneDo Iyore Noelle Olaye is a Nigerian-American of Bini-Edo ancestry. Her father is Michael Imafidon Olaye originally from Edo state in Nigeria, while her mum Christy Anne Coates-Olaye is an African-American. Olaye is used by Bini people. On the other hand, Mr. Segun Emmanuel Olaye, a 1984 Ukrainian-trained engineer who is also married to a Ukrainian, is the founder of Ayoola Foods Ltd which he started in 1994 [makers of the popular brand, Ayoola Poundo Yam]. He schooled in Ifon in Ondo state and he is Yoruba. Although I read an interview his wife had with Punch 4 years ago and his Ukrainian wife said non of their children speaks Yoruba and that since her husband is very fluent in Russian, they speak Russian at home. That wasn't impressive to me because there are children from mixed Nigerian/Yoruba and Russian or English heritages I know who speak fluent Yoruba. Aduni Ade's father is Yoruba and her mother is a white American of mixed British and German origins. So Olaye is a name used by Yoruba and Bini people - maybe with slightly different intonations.
