I will build a company that’s bigger than Oracle and Microsoft right from Nigeria. Might be delusional but will be a very fun ride.

Being the only African tech company in the cinema SaaS space and serving >30% of it in 18 months. EbonyLife, Kadacinemas, Viva cinemas, OOPL just to name a few. All websites built by us, all their core operations running on our software. All paid in Naira. It’s a decent start.

@0xCollins @Jesuonyem @asemota Sorry I missed this 😅. So we provide industry specific business operating software. Vertical SaaS, among others, we currently power 30% of Nigeria’s cinema industry and charge in Naira. For me it made no sense to return capital in $ when 100% revenue is NGN. So we raised Naira.

@0xCollins @Jesuonyem @asemota This raise was done in December 2022. I anticipated that $ would fly through the roof. Built my whole business on that premise. So now we offer Naira priced business solutions that are better than $ solutions. It will take years but eventually we’ll rival Oracle and Zoho.

Financier Carl Icahn sold his 19.93 million shares of RJR Nabisco Holding Corp. for $732.4 million, all but ending his 17-month attempt to force the food and tobacco company to split in two.
