New technologies are transforming the lives of people at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). Many Africans fall within this market category at the moment.

My Book, Africa’s Sankofa Innovation, Is Launched
Good people,
I am very happy to share with you that my eBook has been launched. It is a brilliant work, and I am very confident that you will find value in it.
The book, titled Africa’s Sankofa Innovation, examines many important issues on the African innovation ecosystem. It has 13 chapters broken into nine sections covering Systems, Makers, Opportunities, and more. Every chapter presents key issues from African perspectives drawn from African startups, entrepreneurs, businesses and communities.
The book requires a subscription of $20 per year. It is a living book and I will be updating it regularly. That is why it is not in a PDF format and will not be printed. The version number is “current” because its contents will be regularly refreshed to cover technology, business, entrepreneurship, and other pertinent innovation elements, on Africa.
Besides the book, I will be publishing insightful exclusive articles, at least weekly. These articles will be longer, with at least 1800 words, explaining in more details challenges, opportunities, and other things we experience in markets daily. The book subscription provides access to these articles.
This is the book page where you can subscribe. PayPal and bank transfer are supported. Just click the Subscribe Here button and you will be taken to a checkout. But if that is complicated, for Nigerian readers, you can send N7,000 to our bank account in Nigeria (account numbers provided below).

12.5 – Marketing and Closing Government Deals
Doing business in Africa is challenging. Besides the infrastructure problems, businesses have to deal with amalgam of bureaucracy which has not evolved for years, owing to lack of investments which could have modernized the institutional processes. It begins by knowing that few government employees have working business emails in the continent, despite running a website […]
12.4 – Your Most Important Customer in Africa
The best strategy in any business is the one that brings paying customers. You cannot argue with improving revenue. When a business model delivers that, it is very safe to assume that it is working. That is the root of the ageless statement which posits that “customers are kings”. If you are in the market […]
