You have to learn the art of chopping/enjoying life (at your level, within your means and in your own way)
It’s very important!

One interesting thing I have observed about working in growing startups is watching your “responsibilities” being decoupled and seeing the company pay good amount of money to bring people in to carry out subsets of your tasks while you were or are possibly not being paid enough.

I think Ajax needs to buy all of them back including Ten Hag so we know we collectively aren’t crazy because the decline is mind blowing.

The Nigerian economy is literally crumbling before our eyes and the country is falling apart and here we are trying to “innovate” our way out of it.

The pandemic (lockdown) was definitely a lit phase. It was interesting to see how we all found ways to cope with all that was going on and make a lot of fun memories while at it.
I can’t forget Zikoko Live (speed dating), people going live to DJ, Versuz, Clubhouse, IK Ogbonna 🇳🇬

In companies/startups once inefficiency is ignored, allowed or rewarded in any form and at any level, it slowly spreads like a virus round the entire company.

Sometimes I don’t think startups think of the implication of some “experienced” hires and how it affects the existing team chemistry.
A lot goes unsaid

Tbh Junior devs/designers are currently at a disadvantage. There is wayyy too much information and content out there and not enough people hiring or willing to commit to train them. It's sad

The ecosystem isn’t built on founders alone.
We need to also talk about the non-founders who put in a lot of work behind the scenes to get a lot of startups and the ecosystem at large to where it currently is.
They don’t get as much accolades as they should tbh

Anyone can fall for a Social Engineering attack. It just needs to be well crafted and planned.
If you think you can’t, you just haven’t been targeted by an attacker who has good enough incentive to.

Most people largely think about APIs, integrations, UX and the code part of Products but the operations, finance, compliance, regulation are equally as important
Products (especially Fintech) don’t just magically work. For that API you’re consuming, there’s a lot going on behind

We are trying to “innovate” our way around it even when all the variables we are basing our ideas on are only going lower and lower.
From actual market size shrinking to purchasing power shrinking to revenue shrinking and talent wanting to be paid more.
Can it get any worse?

When I give a merchant or a delivery company my address in my head I just go
“congrats, you just gave one more stranger your address 🙂”

Lmaooo we have heard and accepted their genuine demands and working to address all of them also #EndSARS
After meeting with President @MBuhari, Senate President, @DrAhmadLawan and Speaker @femigbaja appealed to Nigerian youth to end the #EndPoliceBrutality protests across the country as the government heard and accepted their genuine demands and working to address all of them.

In this fintech, when there’s peace I’m always scared because why is everything working peacefully at the same time?
Third party is fine?
Regulators are fine?
Customers are fine?
Code is fine?
can someone explain it to me?

It’s so easy to forget what it takes to move from 0 to 1 when you’ve been operating at a higher level than 1 for a while.
It requires totally different skill sets and mental models to move from 0 to 1 than to move operate at 5 or 10 or more.

Petition to arrest all business (non technical) people that “it is urgent” or “let’s prioritize this” you into setting crunch timelines that you try your best to meet and when you don’t, they now guilt trip you for not meeting it 😒

The way developers dump languages and frameworks for the new shinny kid on the block, does this reflect in how they handle relationships? 🤔

I now see more reasons why people specialize. It makes more sense to me now.
I’m still a huge fan of generalists that can pick up things fast.
All in all, the ability to learn fast and wide >>>>>>

Need to do a hackathon for people to build mini fintech/wallet platforms(wallet system, credit, debit, p2p and payment processors) and another for people to try to exploit the wallet systems built.
It will be pretty interesting to watch the different approaches people take.

Jack’s like…
“I’m sorry y’all, it’s all my fault”
Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.

It was nice speaking to the TechCabal team about a part of what I do at Piggyvest(@PiggyBankNG) 💙🥳🚀
Ojimaojo Udale-Ameh (@uncooloj) is an engineering manager at @PiggyBankNG. He’s a straight shooter adept at using his unique set of technical skills to stay at the top of class and game. Here is how he works in tech.

One of the things I have seen I need to set straight in teams I get to manage is defining what a blocker is.
It looks small but it’ll shock you how much that in itself can change a lot.
People embrace reasons to be “stuck” and blame it on something even when there are ways out

I have spoken to a lot of people and this is a recurring theme.
It’s even worse when the person still is being underpaid for their base responsibilities not to then add their undocumented responsibilities which they just fill in for or carry on for the company.

Jakande Elon musk at it again today 😭
Lol $500k of $8bn.
O wrong now!!!!
All FTX needed to sort what is currently destroying the entire crypto market is just 8 billion USD.
Even if Binance is not buying FTX again why can't industry players come together and save the Industry by contributing and Lending them this Money? I am ready to support with $500k

Sometimes I see certain “product guys” commenting about how certain they are that certain products cannot scale/work (which is fine) but they go ahead to build things that arguably can’t scale also.
It’s pretty interesting.

You have to assume everybody (all users and third party providers) are lying, will lie in the future or intend to scam you.

Things I love to hear are:
abc wasn’t ready so I moved on to xyz pending when it’s ready; we were stuck at xyz, we approached it another angle and came up with a way out so we could move on and here is it
In teams we need to define what blockers are and reward creative thinking
