You should try to solve local problems first. A popular solution in foreign countries may not have good crossover appeal in Nigeria. Fortunately or unfortunately, Nigeria has several problems looking for solutions. Examples include helping

This is a deeply patronising and offensive statement. The ancient Benin kingdom from which these artifacts were stolen still remains till today and despite corruption in the country, they have managed to keep all their remaining artifacts

It’s because where the money goes is where it circulates, which ultimately affects the GDP. Every dollar that leaves India, Nigeria or any other developing country is one less dollar that can pay for jobs (plumbers, electricians, doctors et

Real-time payment platforms that interconnect all the banks in the country are not new. Heck, Nigeria rolled out a very advanced one about 7 years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16374597

I wish I could upvote this twice. Distribution is the biggest problem in mobile. I'll add that even after acquiring a user, engagement, apathy, and not being a 24-hour uninstall statistic are close seconds. I'm working on a soluti

Well chosen name. Two questions: 1. How does this square up with the efforts within the Serverless community? https://github.com/serverless/serverless 2. Does OpenFaas assume that the smallest unit of work for each fun

My team and I are working on solving the 3 biggest problems in mobile app management - distribution, monetization, and enterprise mobility. Our idea is to build a platform for discovering, managing, and monetizing apps. Kinda like a Spotify

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. @watter's comment was in extremely bad taste. Frankly, i expected him/her to apologise because the comment 1) Sought to impugn kangpe's achievements, 2) maligned an entire countr

New tech (including dev tools) will get simpler over time and adapt to the needs of the market. Take web pages as an example. Circa 1995, only a relatively few technical people could weave the HTML magic to create them. Fast-forward 10 year

Long but worth the read. I'm working on a startup that has built a PaaS that helps people with beginner or intermediate tech skills build apps quickly, and I agree that building the platform is like a guiding a mountaineer to Camp IV o

If something is in the public's interest, it generally makes sense to disclose it to the public. For example, if a car manufacturer (or bank) makes public claims that their system is secure, yet they use 56-bit DES keys to encrypt data

A poor analogy but in general terms, if it is in the public's interest, yes. Security by obscurity is flawed.

That sounds really interesting. Can you provide a link to an example or source of additional info. Thanks

Drawing realistic fine art is a rare skill, which like many skills can learned with sufficient devotion. 10000 hours, I think. That said, contempory artists like Kelvin Okafor whose renditions of Heath Ledger, Rihanna, Princess Diana still

The jury is still out on this one. Unless you can show some numbers, it's hard to see this as anything but a subjective extrapolation of the facts. Nonetheless, Sift Science's claim is at best poorly worded because it gives armor to the fal

If I was a CTO of a large company that was subscribing to a small startup's useful SaaS service, I'll much prefer the startup to have solid financial backing than having access to their code. The hassle of getting engineers to manage the co

From the undertone of your post, I assume you are not funded. This may be a good time to talk to some angels and get the financial and professional backing that'll put the minds of enterprise customers at ease with your service. If you don'

Writing numbers as words is a legal norm in many countries. Whilst Nigeria is one of such countries, it doesn't follow that all documents with alphabetised numbers are illegit.

There's a contradiction in terms in what you've just written. There will never be "millions of legit e-commerce consumers" from Nigeria if the main e-commerce gateways such as PayPal continue to block the entire country. They've already bee
