Join The "Empires of the Mind"
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on June 7, 2018, 8:46 AM
"The empires of the future are the empires of the mind" - Winston Churchill
A new generation of Nigerian startups is emerging: from Paystack to iROKOtv, these startups are likely going to become the empires of the future. Just like banks like GTBank, UBA (STB) and Zenith Bank emerged from the golden entrepreneurial area of 1990s, Nigeria is having another moment.
1990s was the decade of banking.
2000s was the decade of voice telephony.
2010s is the decade of broadband.
2020s would be awesome. From technology to agriculture, finance to entertainment, entrepreneurs would hit it big
The game in ON - you win through the mind. Make it happen, for Nigeria.
