It is the most fascinating company in Nigeria today. Paul Graham put out this tweet on the day something BIG happened. When I met the company founders, my response was “People, this is magical”. Let me say it, by 2022, Nigeria will not be the same. A unicorn will be a small thing because this company will generate at least a billion dollars in revenue. There is nothing in our nation, to my knowledge, that comes close to this startup [I track startups in Nigeria very well]. It is the finest startup in our nation and the numbers it is turning out are unprecedented.

Fellow citizens, mark this day: by 2022, there would be a big party in the Nigerian startup world. Something huge is happening in Nigeria. I had predicted that 2022, but what would happen may be beyond anything I had imagined.
