Starting Small, Dreaming Big: My LN247 Talk on Building Tech Startups in Nigeria
Hello Dev community! đź‘‹
I recently had the honor of being a guest on LN247 News to discuss a topic close to my heart: “How Young Nigerians Are Building Tech Startups”. As someone who co-founded Codesphere Academy and Codesphere Nexus, this was an opportunity to share our journey and the lessons we’ve learned in Nigeria’s vibrant tech ecosystem.
Key Insights I Shared:
🔥 The Power of Starting Small – How we bootstrapped our first MVP with limited resources but unlimited passion
đź’ˇ Cloud as an Equalizer – Why cloud solutions are enabling young African founders to compete globally
🌍 Turning Constraints into Advantages – Creative ways we’ve leveraged Nigeria’s unique challenges as innovation opportunities
🚀 The New Nigerian Dream – Why tech is becoming the preferred path for young innovators
The Proudest Moment
One powerful question from the panel disccusion stood out: One panelist questioned: “How can businesses trust their critical data to cloud providers?”
This was my golden opportunity to explain cloud replication strategies. I used the real-world example of the Iran-Israel war:
*“Imagine a company hosts data in Iran, and war destroys the data center. With proper cloud replication, that data is automatically mirrored to another region—say, Australia—ensuring zero downtime. That’s the power of geo-redundancy in cloud architecture.”
*
To my fellow African developers and founders – your background isn’t a limitation, it’s your unique advantage. What small step will you take today toward your big dream? Let’s discuss in the comments!
