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 sever…

Office 365?

Excuse the pedanticism but I assume what you meant was "YC portfolio companies showing HN what they have built"

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 countr…

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 doll…

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/…

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 whos…
