This photo shows Shoprite success in Nigeria
The recently opened Shoprite in Onitsha has turned into a huge market within a mega supermarket.
Here is a photo of what it looks like on Sundays. One has to be very careful to navigate the terrain.
Bitcoin is trading big in Nigeria, see the weekly stats
This is interesting for Bitconin Nigeria; Tim Akinbo has great stats.
While
@TransferWise was shutting down transfers to Nigeria, Nigerians traded#bitcoin worth 7.4m over the last 4wks.
He added:
Over 90% of that volume are remittances to Nigeria. Two weeks ago, it hit a weekly all time high of ?2.9m
This is just a start but certainly the banks will wish they are getting the fees associated with the inter-boundary money movement. Even Western Union may not be very happy with Bitcoin.
The Predictable Crises of Growing Startups
Each of the three crises occurs at a different phase in a company’s life.
The first crisis, overload, refers to the internal dysfunction and loss of external momentum that management teams of young, fast-growing companies experience as they try to rapidly scale their businesses.
The second crisis, stall-out, refers to the sudden slowdown that many successful companies suffer as their rapid growth gives rise to layers of organizational complexity and dilutes the clear mission that once gave the company its focus and energy. Stall-out is a disorienting time for a company: the accelerator pedal of growth no longer responds as it used to, and faster, younger competitors are starting to gain ground. Most companies that stall out never fully recover.
The third crisis, free fall, is the most existentially threatening. A company in free fall has completely stopped growing in its core market, and its business model, until recently the reason for its success, suddenly no longer seems viable. Time feels scarce for a company in free fall. The management team often feels it has lost control. It can’t identify the root causes of the crisis, and it doesn’t know what levers to pull to escape it.
These three crises represent the riskiest and most stressful periods for businesses that have made it successfully through their start-up and early-growth phases. The good news is these crises are predictable and often avoidable. The killers of growth that these crises contain can be anticipated and even turned into a constructive reason for change.
Helium is the new African gold and Tanzania matters
The recent discovery of a large new helium deposit in Tanzania merely delays by a few years the day when world supplies will run out. Mun Keat Looi explains why helium is so vital, how it got so badly mispriced that we used it to fill party balloons, and what we can do to husband it.
At current rates of consumption, the world’s current known reserves will run out sometime between 2030 and 2040. This is why the Tanzania discovery is such a big deal. At an estimated 54 billion cubic feet, it is bigger than the NHR was at its peak.
The real breakthrough is in the way it was discovered. Nobody has ever found helium by looking for it deliberately, but only as a side-product of natural-gas exploration. The Tanzanian site, however, was found through modern prospecting. The theory is that rocks in which helium has formed (by radioactive decay) are slowly heated by the Earth’s core, letting the gas leak out, and it then gets caught in underground caves. The prospectors used their knowledge of the Rift Valley’s geology to find potential helium mines.
Tanzania will increasingly grow in importance as helium becomes scarce over the next few decades. It will assume more impacts and positions in Africa..
