As we welcome Franklin Peters Odoemenam – the blockchain oracle – tomorrow to discuss decentralized finance (defi) and NFT marketplaces, please read this piece by Tekedia Mini-MBA alum, John Mc Keown. John looks beyond cryptocurrency, fintech and defi and then asks if Africa is ready for Web 3.0
At Tekedia Mini-MBA, our members influence some components of our programs. John captured it when he quoted this line, possibly from the community: ‘That NFT stuff is not for people who are occupied with food and clean water. Not sure it will be durable in Africa’.
That is how I see it. How can NFT help the GREAT Ovim people of Abia State and how can it make Oriendu Market better? I have been waiting for Auntie Ngozi Okonji-Iweala’s policies in the World Trade Organization to change how people buy garri, yam and plantain in Ovim. Yes, trade happens in Ovim – big time. And WTO must pay attention. Lol.
