ladiguy:I'm interested in those people pre-colonial era history!,if truely they are that enterprising they should have at least a city as big as kano and Ibadan pre colonial era and more advanced than other tribes due to cultural exchange with their trading partners! Yorubas have been making use of guns bought from the Portuguese as far back as late 17th century.Then those people should stop thinking business spirit is their monopoly.I could remember yoruba proverb like "ise re omo alaseje,owo re,omo asela",meaning "you work(under people or as civil servant) only to survive but you do business to become rich" 3 Likes |

http://techcabal.com/2017/10/10/andela-raises-40m/ BREAKING: Andela Raises $40m From CRE VC, DBL, Salesforce, TLcom, Others In Series C Round LAGOS, October 10, 2017 — Andela, the company that builds high-performing engineering teams with Africa’s most talented software developers, today announced that the company has secured $40M in Series C funding. The investment was led by pan-African venture firm CRE Venture Capital with participation from DBL Partners, Amplo, Salesforce Ventures, and Africa-focused TLcom Capital. Existing investors including Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, GV, and Spark Capital also participated. The round, which marks one of the largest investments ever led by an African venture firm into an Africa-based company, brings Andela’s total venture funding to just over $80M. Andela was launched in 2014 to combat the global technical talent shortage by investing in Africa’s most talented software developers. With an estimated 1.3M software jobs unfilled in 2016 in the U.S. alone, it’s clear that the growth of today’s major technology ecosystems is inhibited by a severe lack of talent. To solve this, Andela invests in high potential pools of brainpower across the African continent to help more than 100 partner companies build distributed engineering teams. These partners range from industry leaders like Viacom and Mastercard Labs to high-growth technology companies such as Gusto and GitHub. With offices in Lagos, Nigeria, Nairobi, Kenya, and Kampala, Uganda, Andela has hired 500 developers to date — the top 0.7% of more than 70,000 applicants from across the continent. Selected developers spend six months in a rigorous onboarding program before being matched with one of Andela’s partner companies as full-time engineering team members. Beyond recruiting elite development talent, Andela is catalyzing the growth of tech ecosystems across the continent by open-sourcing its content and partnering with organizations including Google, Pluralsight and Udacity to provide resources and mentorship to developers. “Andela is investing in our continent’s future technology leaders, who are already playing a much-needed role in solving both African and global problems,” says Seni Sulyman, Country Director of Andela Nigeria. “With each new partnership, we are simultaneously proving to the global tech industry that brilliance is evenly distributed irrespective of gender, culture or nationality. As we unleash an entire generation of technologists, we will secure Africa’s role as an equal partner working alongside the rest of the world to advance human potential.” Pule Taukobong, Founding Partner of CRE Venture Capital, adds: “At present, there is more capital to fund ideas globally than there are people to build them. Andela is providing a solution to this global talent dilemma while building a business case for one of Africa’s greatest assets: our people.” Andela will use the capital to fuel its aggressive expansion plans: The company aims to launch offices in two additional African countries over the next year, doubling its developer base from 500 to 1,000. Alongside this round, Pule Taukobong of CRE, Julia Gillard, former Australian Prime Minister and Amplo Board Partner, and Omobola Johnson, Senior Partner at TLcom and former Minister of Communication Technology in Nigeria, will be joining Andela’s board. ![]() 3 Likes |

Online real estate startup ToLet acquires Jumia House Nigeria to create PropertyPro.Ng [img]https://tctechcrunch2011.files./2017/11/propertypro-interaction1.jpg?w=738[/img] https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/10/online-real-estate-startup-tolet-acquires-jumia-house-nigeria-to-create-propertypro-ng/ African tech can produce surprises. One this week is a $1.2 million Series A startup buying part of a $1 billion company. That’s what Lagos based property startup ToLet.com.ng has done, purchasing Jumia House Nigeria for an undisclosed amount. Jumia House is a subsidiary of the continent’s lone tech unicorn — Pan-African e-commerce giant Jumia.com. ToLet and Jumia House Nigeria will merge platforms under the new name of PropertyPro.ng. The acquisition was a result of ToLet’s strength in market and help from their lead investor, Malaysia based Frontier Digital Ventures, according to CEO and Co-Founder Fikayo Ogundipe. “This came about from FDV―which has a strong real-estate classified portfolio across Africa―looking at which markets they were strong and where Rocket [Jumia’s lead investor] was weaker,” he told TechCrunch. “In Nigeria Jumia House was number three or number four in online listings. It didn’t make sense for Rocket to burn more capital in that position, so [FDV] approached them on the acquisition. So how did ToLet finance the purchase? Without additional financing from lead investor FDV, according to Co-Founder Sulaiman Balogun. “The $1.2 million in funding we announced last year is the only round we’ve disclosed. We’ve raised enough capital to run through this deal and really fund the business and grow,” he said. With the acquisition, ToLet is acquiring the entire Jumia House platform — staff, assets, and their listings and agent network. The new PropertyPro entity will combine ToLet’s 60,000 listings to Jumia House’s 22,000 to create the largest online real estate listings platform in Nigeria with 65 percent of the market, according to Balogun. ToLet would not divulge annual revenue stats, but execs explained it makes money from agent subscription fees. ToLet’s legacy platform had 10,000 agents, of which 20 percent were charged. “We have a long-term plan to charge a higher percentage on our the premium plan,” said ToLet CEO Ogundipe―noting agents receive more options under that plan. ToLet’s new PropertyPro platform will not charge fees or commissions on listing sales, something some of its competitors do, according to Balogun. “We did that on our previous model, but stopped. That increased the number of agents on our platform and generated more revenue overall,” he said. ToLet’s current online listings are about 70 percent rentals and 30 percent sales. Co-CEOs Balogun and Ogundipe said to expect updates on the integrated PorpertyPro platform. They have engineers developing new ease of search features for the site and plan to launch an android app in coming weeks. A prime aim of the acquisition and new PropertyPro platform is to expand ToLet’s agent and listings reach across Nigeria and increase the number of sales listings, Balogun told TechCrunch. As a market, Nigeria boasts the dual distinction of being Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy, valued at roughly half a trillion dollars. A small real-estate sector (circa 8 percent of the overall economy) and a high urbanization rate have created a housing deficit in the country. Furthermore, a nascent credit rating market in the Nigeria has fueled practices whereby landlords can require advance deposit of up to two years rent from tenants. ToLet hopes its recent acquisition and upgraded PropertyPro platform can ease that. “We believe creating more visibility of real estate listings and ease of connecting buyers and sellers online can solve some of these liquidity problems and bridge this gap between supply and demand,” said Co-Founder Sulaiman Balogun. 1 Like |

![]() Most entrepreneurs have had to face the challenges of struggling to rent, build or own an office space, in order to launch their businesses. In a city like Lagos, such spaces are often quite expensive and the rents eat deep into the pockets of small start-up businesses. Today, co-working spaces is making it easier for several small and medium scale businesses, to set up and run their operations, effectively at an affordable cost. Electricity, security and internet services are often part of the packages offered by co-working spaces, to entrepreneurs and start-ups. These days, most incubation hubs in Nigeria, also offer co-working spaces as part of their plans. Technology innovations have helped small, medium and big companies to improve their operations, and work from almost anywhere. ![]() ![]() One of the notable co-working spaces in Lagos is The Circumference, located in the Surulere area of Lagos, which was established by Fehintola Akin-Oluwole, in May 2016.

After searching for a while with no luck, she resolved to set up one. The facility provides flexibility of work and play, a space for like-minded individuals to interact, exchange ideas, network and generally strike the right balance. ![]() They offer office spaces and allied services which help entrepreneurs to manage business overheads, while saving time and keeping a professional image.

[img]http://4.bp..com/-Stw5R7fAmII/VcRxm6g3P9I/AAAAAAAADEo/xxGU04oxKdQ/s1600/Kola_Dp.jpg[/img] The Venia Group, is a venture creation and development company with interests in startup investments, Media & Technology, Financial Services, Infrastructure, Insurance and Energy. ![]() Oyeneyin graduated from University of Nottingham in England, before returning back home to work for a few companies. But he has always been interested in running his own business, so he decided to become an entrepreneur. ![]() Now Kola Oyeneyin will be ploughing his knowledge and ideas back to society, in order to help entrepreneurs and start-ups. His new platform tagged “The Boardroom“, will impact and empower at least 240 entrepreneurs annually. He will be teaching and training entrepreneurs on how to turn ideas into profitable ventures, covering topics critical for business sustainability, including (but not limited to) building healthy cash flows, raising finance, delivering consistent service quality, building company culture, and executing at scale. Kola Oyeneyi's company boasts of thriving local and international businesses as clients, such as Uber, Branch, Asoko Insight, Flutterwave, FCMB, ECOWAS, Eskimi, Olorisupergal, and many more. Leveraging on his deep business knowledge and his vast network of other successful entrepreneurs, at The Boardoom, Kola will distil and strip bare, the myths around ‘business’, for selected entrepreneurs who are chosen out of hundreds of entries. The monthly event is open to all, but only 20 entrepreneurs will be selected monthly, and 240 cumulatively each year. It is a form of MBA, but on “steroids”! ![]() Each edition of The Boardroom holds quarterly at Venia Group’s learning center, The iLx Center Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. ![]() ![]() Kola Oyeneyin, is also the brains behind the first ever Coworking Conference held in Nigeria. The Coworking Conference, a global event that takes place in major cities across the world, held for the first time in Lagos, Nigeria from July - August 2017. The event brought together global experts, entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, and leading figures in Nigeria’s coworking industry, to explore the drivers of the growth in coworking spaces in Nigeria, and the opportunities and value being created. ![]() [img]https://flexofficespace.files./2014/08/12-facts.png[/img] ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

One Yoruba man has just spent 15 million USD developing a golf resort, and he will be spending an additional 1 million USD, to maintain it annually. Wait first, how many of such golf courses exist in the SE?? 3 Likes |

laudate:this is matter that must be treated with urgency, because this is typically a form of modern days slavery/forced labour. the Nigerian social Ware fare commission has to intervene because this report from inner Galaxy still Company is no lie but truth because the evidence as show case by the aggrieved has no trace of graphical mutation but real without artistic work. |
