What We Can Learn From Seun Osewa – Nigeria’s Most Successful Digital Entrepreneur [Video]

In today’s videocast, I discuss Seun Osewa, the visionary young founder of Nairaland. Nairaland is Nigeria’s most popular indigenous digital property. His method is unique and by studying him, we can learn how we can build successful digital companies in Africa. Everything we know about scale, product innovation, and team has been challenged by Osewa’s Way. Because of his success*, I do think we need to pay attention. For example, he believes that Nigeria is his market, he does not care about Africa. Also, he does not see the need for outside investment because he does not understand what extra money will do for his business. Furthermore, he avoids publicity even when running a truly successful digital platform. The list goes on….This is Seun.

*success here means “profitability”. Nairaland is profitable and perhaps more than any Nigerian site out there though its revenue is certainly not the highest.

Now in Nigeria, you can stop paying your electricity bills. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has informed electricity consumers not provided with prepared meters by March 1 to stop paying electric bills presented by Distribution Companies (DISCOs) on the basis of estimated billing methodology.

The commission also ordered the DISCOs not to disconnect any such customer that refuses to pay the bills and further advised such customers to report to the commission if disconnected.

The statement reads in part:

“A directive was issued to distribution companies by the Commission in June 2016 for all MD customers to be metered by 30 November 2016.

“The Commission received appeals on compliance deadline from distribution companies prior to the expiration of the 30 November 2016 deadline.  The deadline was extended to 1 March 2017 after consideration of appeals received from distribution companies.

“Upon due consideration of facts above and the expiration of the compliance deadline granted to distribution companies on the metering of MD customers; the Commission hereby directs as follows –

“1.    Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 shall not pay any electricity bill presented by a distribution company on the basis of estimated billing methodology and these customers are advised to report this to the Commission.

“2.    No distribution company shall disconnect any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 on the basis of the customer’s refusal to pay a bill issued after the compliance deadline on the basis of estimated billing methodology.

“3.    Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 should notify the Commission directly.”
