It’s interesting that some people think software developers getting jobs abroad is bad for Nigerian tech. @nke_ise & @OoTheNigerian , two true ecosystem builders broke this down for me years ago.

The success story of 1 African drives 100 others to believe and act either by envy or inspiration. 1000 stories drive 100,000.

The $$ worth of the technical education created outside the 4 walls of schools is enormous and we haven’t scratched the surface.

If your organization would be needing >100 people with a particular digital skillset remotely in the next 0.5-5 years, let’s talk. There are a couple of firms dedicated to skilling Nigeria’s youth. There are also grants that can cover the cost of training in some cases.
As to what happens when developers get jobs abroad, more developers will be trained, the craft gets better and better founders and products emerge.

Mr. Opeyemi Awoyemi is a Co-Founder of TalentQL. He is a Co-Founder of Moneymie. He serves as a Board Member at Ongair. He served as Advisor at CrowdForce. He is a Co-Founder of Jobberman(where he raised funding from Tiger Global).

Tech is the new oil.


Someone just made millions of dollars couple of minutes ago online, all while sitting in his room.


When I see many Nigeria youths who claim to be jobless but these same youths sub data and waste all data and their lives every moment going from one celeb page to another on SM commenting on wetin no concern them. Fighting on BBN, Pessi and Penaldo etc. Wasting away everyday.

Is it not young people like you sponsoring BBN this year? Does Ronaldo even have time arguing about himself? He's always busy in gym building himself to earn more.

But Nigerians youths roam internet aimlessly everyday, wasting away but later they'll blame village people.


Many people poverty na follow come and follow go. It's a choice.
