Last week, I had an amazing time at the Nigerians Millennials Technology Ignited Conference, organized by Nigerian Technology Ignited, with convener the person of Prince Afọlábí Andu, and I can say, twas really an explosive time. When I looked through my notes from the conference earlier today, a lot of energy was just generated within me to go and take over everywhere (lol). One of my resolutions this year was to attend more profitable conferences, and I am very glad I attended this one... Cheers to the process of continual growth 🍻🍻 #tech #TechSkills #conference #network #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #businessgrowth #BusinessSuccess

Lagos Loves Knowledge... or Events? If attending smart events in Lagos were a job requirement, half of the young people here would be overqualified. The turnout at the BlueChip Data and AI Summit was mind-blowing. But here’s the thing: it’s not just about attending conferences, looking wise in blue-light glasses, writing plenty of words in fancy notebooks, and letting them gather dust until the next big event. The true impact of these gatherings isn’t in the number of attendees but in the subsequent ripple effect. How many of us will be able to say: 📌 “From the conversations at this summit, I launched a project in a remote part of Nigeria to localize and multiply this knowledge.” 📌 “I built an AI solution inspired by this summit that solves a pressing challenge.” Scott Taylor, the Data Whisperer, shared a golden rule for data: “Do unto Data as you would have it do unto you.” But why stop at data? Let’s apply this to life in general: Do unto your community as you would have it do unto you. Be the lifestyle you want to see. Borrowing Abubakar Suleiman's (CEO, Sterling Bank) words at the summit, "Start creating solutions for your immediate community before tackling global challenges." And if you fail? At least it won’t be for lack of trying. A huge shoutout to the organization and the organizers of the BlueChip Data and AI Summit Kazeem Tewogbade, Olumide Soyombo and all the inspiring speakers. May the knowledge you’ve shared transform into real, tangible advancements for the AI revolution in Nigeria and Africa. We can’t wait to witness the future that has already begun. #LagosTechCommunity #BlueChipDataandAISummit2024

As an avid explorer of Nigeria, I’ve witnessed our country’s rich diversity and vibrant spirit. Despite significant development strides, connectivity remains a challenge. In a recent visit to a small town, I saw how limited access to electricity and information impacted local businesses and individuals, with only about 45% of Nigerians having internet access compared to global averages of over 50%. As CEO of FiberOne Broadband, I’m committed to building a connected Africa. Connectivity is about empowering communities through reliable information access, especially for the underserved. At Africa Tech Festival, Africa’s largest tech event, we will explore how to create a future that serves all communities. Nigeria's digital future is ambitious yet achievable, with a population of 234.1 million and only 164.3 million internet subscribers. The internet economy is projected to reach $29 billion by 2025, yet 37% of the population lacks online access. With only 262,206 ISP subscribers, there’s immense potential for internet providers. This challenge is a responsibility for us to connect homes and empower communities. Approximately 120,000 kilometers of fiber are needed for seamless connectivity in Nigeria, but only roughly 60,000 kilometers have been deployed so far. FiberOne has laid over 3,900 kilometers of fiber, contributing to a connected nation. With only 37% internet penetration in Africa—compared to over 70% in East Asia—closing this gap is urgent. Access to information equals access to opportunity. Next week, I’ll engage with industry leaders committed to inclusive connectivity solutions, impacting students, entrepreneurs, and families across the continent. At Africa Tech Festival, FiberOne Broadband reaffirms our dedication to connecting you with top technology. I look forward to sharing insights and solutions that will enhance your connectivity, making it more reliable and future-ready. Together, we can reinvent Africa’s digital landscape. I look forward to sharing updates from the Africa Tech Festival and our exciting initiatives!

Ethiopia among top five nations with most people offline; Global Digital Divide Despite the rapid global spread of the internet, Ethiopia remains one of the top five countries worldwide with the largest number of people still disconnected, a recent report by the World Bank reveals. According to the data, approximately 103.29 million Ethiopians do not have regular access to the internet, positioning Ethiopia just behind Nigeria in the ranking. The report, authored by technology writer Alan from Increditools, details how around 2.6 billion people globally—about a third of the world’s population—are still not connected to the internet, with the majority residing in Asia and Africa. The study points out significant challenges such as infrastructure deficits, affordability, digital literacy, government policies, and political instability that contribute to these startling numbers.
