Connect, Collaborate, Catalyze. LinkedIn Local - Lagos 4.0 experience was amazing. Eleso Moyosoreoluwa was the host. My favourite session was the one with Yemí Fáșeun as the host. Alex Goma gave some insights on opportunities. He mentioned having Clarity of purpose. His statement - The world doesn't pay for your knowledge they pay for what you do with your knowledge. The knowledge gives you the skill. 'Lara Yeku talked about self-awareness. Looking for opportunities helps position the kind of value I get. She mentioned to start moving away from the class of degree to potential talents, and skills that I can do. Goodness "Ada" Armstrong (CIPD) dropped these points: Build your career as a business. Bootstrap. At the early stage of your career, build ability, resilience and sustenance. I attended with my sister, Anuoluwapo Opeagbe, and also met Chimuanya Dike, and Patience Ayoola, CCSM. #linkedin #linkedinlocallagos #lagos #connect #collaborate

Building a quality product is not enough. Your product is not yet a success if it has not been used by a wide range of people in the market and have generated the necessary feedback. However, to get a substantial number of people to use your product, you must have built your distribution network. To do this, it means you need to win the distribution game. For ConnectNigeria.com, I share how startups can win their distribution game. https://lnkd.in/dnyUZ-22

As a gamer, I love writing about the gaming industry and how it's maintained a steady growth over the years. I view esports as one of the most interesting segments of the industry, so it was a fun experience to do an article for Afrocritik exploring the business aspect of competitive gaming and how Africa can leverage this opportunity.

In the spirit of empowering the future of tech in Port Harcourt, I recently volunteered at the PH Tech Expo, pioneered by the Niger Delta Development Commission. It was incredible to gain firsthand insights from innovators, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts. A thriving tech ecosystem in Port Harcourt and the surrounding south-south and south-east cities is crucial for economic growth, job creation, and addressing local challenges in these regions, which have been underserved compared to hubs like Lagos and Ibadan. The post-expo message was clear: it's in our hands to support and nurture this community, fostering collaboration and innovation to shape a brighter future for our city!. Question is, are you ready?, because I very much am😅 #PHTechExpo #TechEcosystem #PortHarcourt

Really, so i have not been active on LinkedIn for 4 weeks or so 🥺 It was due to the exam I was preparing for. I am a 200lvl computer science student of Olabisi Onabanjo University. Exam time is the most busiest time for me as a student. Going to library, attending impromptu lectures, submitting assignments, signing some forms, it has really been exhausting.😓🥴 Don't you think this can be related to business line??💯 All these days, you have been busy looking for ways to improve your products quality, so as to attract customers, but it was fruitless.😪 You have done much research on your targeted audience but you still couldn't capture their heart in buying your product.😔 Have you heard about copywriting before??🤔 Copywriting is a process of writing captivating, hypnotic and convincing copy, in order to sell products or services.😎 Instead of you racking your brain all day, thinking of a way to advertise your products in a way that would convince your targeted audience to buy from you, why don't you lay the burden on a copywriter. 💯 Lucky you, I am a copywriter, so you need not to go look for one anymore. 🌚 The bonus in working with me is that, I write copies for you without charging you any fee, and once the copy sells, you can give any amount that you wish to. Isn't that great?? 👍 Dm now and let's start business 🤝 I write, you sell 💕

I had the pleasure at speaking at the Startup Abuja conference the other week and spoke to a number of attendees after the session who reached out for advice. Those conversations reminded me of a couple of important things. Ask for advice- Advice can be helpful to validate your approach to a given problem or opportunity. If you don't have someone in your network today with the needed expertise, find someone who does and reach out. The worst that can happen is they don't reply or they decline to speak to you. It more likely, though it may take a few tries, that you will find someone who is willing to take the time to share their expertise. Dream big and start small- Many of the folks I spoke to were starting careers or businesses. All of them had big dreams. Big dreams can help keep you inspired and can also feel daunting because they are so big. In either case, find the first steps you can take and get started on your journey. You never get to your big dreams if you don't take the first step.

Aha! what a wonderful session we had yesterday. 📌 Product led launch and growth. 📌. Product mockups. 📌. setting Epics and stories and others... From what Mrs Chioma Peace Udoh, MBA, PMP said yesterday, I got to know more about churn in product launch and growth. Now, let me give you a hint of it.. Churn is a limiting factor on the growth rate of a product. a high negative churn could mean that your customers aren't pleased with your products' quality, price or value. This means that they aren't okay with the value You offer. you have to improve or give more. To avoid having a high negative churn, get a lot of their feedbacks and complains, work on it and provide solutions efficiently. Again, I think I will be embarking on my projects work in the class this week. stay tuned for more updates! #ProductManagement #ProductDevelopment/Growth #ChurnRateAnalysis

Embarking on a new journey with Arduino! I'm grateful for the encouragement and support from Joseph Ojezele, Praisefield Akinbola, Princess Bamigboye and especially CHUKWUEBUKA ANULUNKO who went further to provide resources to guide me in the journey. A project like a traffic light control system may seem basic, but it's a crucial step in building a strong foundation in electronics and programming. I'm excited to develop my problem-solving skills and learn from my experiences. Here's to many more projects and achievements ahead! I'm looking forward to exploring new possibilities and pushing myself to greater heights in the world of electronics and programming. #Arduino #Electronics #Programming #Learning #Growth #Innovation"

Where do I even begin? It’s funny how life twists and turns in the most unexpected ways. You see, I had registered for Altschool Africa before, but I joined the engineering class. Just as I was about to dive deep into JavaScript, it all came crashing down. Let’s fast forward a bit… Hello everyone, I’m Precious Davies, currently enrolled in the product design track at Altschool Africa, under a scholarship with Flutterwave. Before I initially registered for Altschool, I was always fascinated by problem-solving and started taking courses around product. My first attempt saw me certified as a Scrum Master, also i got a brief overview of product design. Recently, I wrote a post on Medium about imposter syndrome and its threat to success. Everyone experiences this to some extent, but mine was overwhelming. I overthought everything about joining Altschool, from funding to time management and motivation. Despite my fears, I registered, passed the initial test, applied for the Flutterwave scholarship, and got picked. This scholarship was the motivation I needed to continue. First semester came and I aced it. Second semester arrived and I barely got through it. Fear and imposter syndrome crept in, compounded by the pressures of work, running my personal business as a shopper and jewelry seller, and managing my private life. I secluded myself, thriving more in my own space. People around me began to mock me, asking, “Tech girl, what are you always typing on your laptop? We can’t see any money.” Some even doubted I was really into tech because “tech people have money.” Honestly, people can be so thoughtless with their words. Now, third semester is here, and I finally feel I can make it as a product designer. Altschool has introduced me to amazing people who inspire me to keep pushing. Attending classes has been challenging, especially since I’m often in transit during class times. But having friends who are genuinely invested in your growth is incredibly rare, and I’m grateful for finding them in Altschool. Currently in my team, we’re working on our capstone project, upgrading a current product of Flutterwave. I’m very excited about this project because it’s a fantastic problem solver. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions, juggling deadlines, but my team supports each other, and for that, I’m thankful. I can’t wait to finish and graduate as a product designer. This third semester, my goal is to secure an internship before graduation, and I’m hopeful it will become a reality. Thank you, AltSchool Africa. cc Adewale Yusuf Jerry Uke Micah Timileyin Tabitha Wanjiku Thank you, Flutterwave cc Olugbenga Agboola. Thank you to my team, Altwave A Jewel Uguru .Faruq Kuku Thank you to all my Altschool friends Afe O. Daniel Peter Chijioke Imoleoluwatomiwa Adeleke Ernest Kehinde Miracle Toluwanimi Segun Isaac Anubi See you all at the top! “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill

About 8 months ago, I commenced the journey of the Women Techsters Fellowship, with so much enthusiasm and I'm so glad I did. My skill set at the beginning of the fellowship and now is simply incomparable. Starting from Statistics and Probability to Excel, Business Metrics, Power BI, Data Visualization Principles like data-ink ratio and lie factor, Python, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), SQL, Web Scrapping, Machine Learning, Natural Language processing, Git/Github and some more, equipping me to extract insights from complex datasets and transform them into actionable insights and for Predictive Modeling through Data Science and Machine Learning techniques. The training was not limited to technical skills only, as I was also exposed to weekly soft skills training, facilitated by the Purple Academy of Wema Bank Plc. in partnership with Tech4Dev, which helped in the development of soft skills like communication, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, professionalism, team work, time management, wellness, dealing with work place harassment and many more necessary to thrive in a work environment. Not just that, I participated in a community project called the Tech girls drive, aimed at fostering the participation of women and girls in tech through secondary school outreaches, encouraging them to do more and be more. I had to carry out several mini projects both as part of a team and as an individual. The crown of which was the Capstone Project where I served as a data scientist on a cross-functional team. Big shout out to our amazing Product Managers, Ayebatarilate Ikorli and Akinola Ayomide, Product Designers Aisha Dosunmu, Aisha Adebimpe Adeyemi and Chiamaka Nnoruka, 3D Animators Chiamaka Anichebe and Arit Edukpe, and our Frontend developers Chinaemerem Aneke and Ayomide Akinbi, working with you guys was simply awesome. As we draw the curtain on this phase of the training, I cannot but say a big, big thank you to my amazing instructor Mohamed Abd El-Mohsen. Thank you for painstakingly impacting knowledge and being a key part of this journey. To the entire Tech4Dev community, I say a big thank you. The journey is definitely not over yet. We'll keep moving, learning and growing. #WTFC24 #WomenTechstersFellowship #Tech4dev #datascience #dataanalysis #machinelearning

Hi everyone it's Day 7 of our #15DaysOfContentChallenge in HerTechTrail and our prompt for the day is:👇 Day 7 PROMPT- Talk about how principles of design thinking can drive product development at WeWe. How would you incorporate design thinking methodologies into your approach? 📌DESIGN THINKING: as the name implies, Design Thinking is an iterative strategic and practical process used by Product Designers which relies on observing meticulously how the users interact with their product in order to identify problems to be solved,think differently and understand their users so that they can challenge assumptions, redefine problems and identify alternative solutions and then generate prototypes and tests. 📌DESIGN THINKING METHODOLOGIES: there are five(5) main stages of design thinking and they are: 📍EMPATHY(Researching Your Users' Needs): this is the first stage of the design thinking proces and it's main aim is to develop the best possible understanding of your users, their needs and the problems that underlie the development of the product or service you want to create as it allows design thinkers to set aside their own assumptions about the product and focus on user-centric research in order to gain a deeper understanding of real users and their needs. The methods and tools to carry out this stage include; User Interviews, Empathy Maps, Color Psychology, Observation, Surveys and Questionnaires. 📍Define (Stating Users' Needs & Problems): this stage entails analyzing your observation from the empathy stage in order to define the problem and problem statement from the perception of the users’ needs. Doing this will help the design team collect great ideas to establish features, functions and other elements to solve the problem. Tools commonly used in this stage include Data Analysis, The “5 Whys” Method and User Personas. 📍IDEATION (Ideas Creation): this stage is where designers start to explore design solutions as they've grown to understand your users and their needs in the Empathize stage, and analyzed observations in the Define stage to create a user centric problem statement. Ideas in this stage will ultimately become prototypes that can be tested with the target audience. Common Ideation Techniques include Mind Maps & Flow Charts, Round-Robin Brainstorming, SWOT Analysis, Brainwriting, Sketches. Are you enjoying our content challenge and feel you should be part of it?
