Tunde Onakoya doesn’t have 2 heads o. You don’t even have to do anything that large scale. Pick one or 2 boys in your community or around you to mentor but No, whine and complain.
As at last week, the cheapest flight ticket to Lagos was £1550
I checked again last night and I'm seeing £868
The ONLY logical explanation here is the AIR PEACE ticket price.
Virgin and BA have been overcharging us for ages
One competition, they slashed their prices. WICKED 🤡😡
People are making it about Nigerians but it is not. Nigerians just happen to be the majority that stood up to advocate for both speaking and non speaking English folks outside PG’s “circumference”
Hello people, I’ll like to pay the application fees to
@AltSchoolAfrica
for 5 women who want to build a career in tech. Just respond to this tweet and I’ll pick later today.
I'm actually really grateful. Just passed $25,000 in transactions in one of my side experiments. No code (yet). No major opex. Just me, my laptop and my early customers with email and phone/WhatsApp. Coming back to this tweet soon 🤞
My grandma passed away last night. She literally raised my siblings and I. I’m ok though just that life is spinning so fast these days. Love you grandma always. Thanks for teaching us to really love and help people. Thanks for everything ❤️🕊.
Anxiety is really bad. If you find yourself always anxious especially about work, save some money and upskill yourself then try to take calculated risks and move. Your life and happiness is precious. Fight for your peace in your one precious life.
Then for those that are saying it’s “majorly boys” affected based on Tunde’s primary focus area… it means you understand the concept of “majority” and “affected” but when it comes to girls/women that genius thinking evaporates instantly.
This Fintech thing is going to be a struggle at this rate. Nigeria is supposed to be the giant of Africa but with leaders that lack foresight, vision, or adequate intelligence its going to be a huge struggle.
Such an honor & a personal milestone to have been invited to be a judge at the 10th Anniversary of the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation at the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK. I’ve done many things but this is special to me. Also finally met

Nothing really beats getting customers, then getting paying customers, then getting organic referrals, then getting repeat customers in very early stages
Thank you Jesus. Prayed for something that was totally out of my control and just decided to be calm and have faith and God really came through... just in time 💪🙏😇
This year has been really intense. I experienced really high highs and really low lows. However nothing beats the fact that I can stand in front of the mirror & see that I'm alive, well and healthier.
If they release any top influential young people in Nigeria list and they don't include
@AsaAsika
and
@bizzleosikoya
just know that list is fake. These guys are building an entertainment dynasty 💪💪💪.
So 14 days ago I was prepped for a major surgery. I had really negative thoughts that things won’t go well or I wont make it. God made everything perfect beyond my imagination. The only thing I’ve been able to do is Twitter and Spaces since I’ve been in bed 95% of the time
Random. One day I will share the full story of how I was young & reckless on twitter. I was abusing D’Prince song on twitter. That’s how
@DONJAZZY
dm’d me & apologized & said they’ll do better. I was so shocked and embarrassed especially by his humility and maturity.
Tomorrow I’ll tweet about how I just had an intro call for an opportunity to review and assess startups in Canada. For people that ask me how I figure stuff out...I don’t really figure anything out. I just stack opportunities in the tune of the experience I want to get/explore.
Random. My friend said “the work that I’ll do in one day is what they want me to do in 3 weeks” 🤣. Nigerians are amazing people true. Just sad we’ve been working so hard for so little.
Wrote my first tiny cheque for a female founder. So proud of her (even though she doesn’t even know as of now) and cant wait to see how the team evolves over the next few months 👏
Dear younger ones, don't be like us. Take more risks. Apply for that role/opportunity! Whether u qualify or not. Whether the odds are in ur favor or not. Just make sure you've demonstrated that you can learn fast & you're responsible. Best way to do that is to work on side stuff!

An amazing and really accomplished woman reached out to me all the way from Russia and said she loves the way I think and she really likes my tweets yet you people don't rate me on this app.
Currently at the Nigerian University of Technology and Management (NUTM). I’ll be part of the judging panel for NUTM’s Scholars Program's (NSP) TEDLab Demo Day. So excited to meet all the amazing teams
Inspired by my Peer-Mentor 😉. Q1 was really intense for me. Love it though.
- Invested in 10 companies in Q1 2021 alone
- Led & Supported in Pre-screens/Memos/Due Diligence/Investment Decisions
- Startups based/operating in SSA & MENA
- via Funds/Syndicates/Direct Deals
Started my VC journey in August this year. Knew nothing about the space but I was passionate about it! 3 Months later I have;
- invested in 3 African companies
- written an investor memo
- done Due diligence
And before the year runs out I’ll invest in 2 more companies ☺️
This is now a little over $40k and hopefully this is the last time I’ll tweet that its all manual. Grateful to all the early customers, you all rock ❤️! I’m going to have something better for you in H2 🥂 🤞

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Here is one hypothesis: “The average monthly burn of a seed-stage startup is $200,000 but applying the Africa discount, we expect it to be $60-100,000. So, in the 21 months since Thepeer’s last raise, they could have spent their $2.1 million or very close.”
I am proud and honored to support as a VC Partner to the newest cohort of the
