There are too many startups in Nigeria solving nonsense problems. This is a country with massive insecurity. People are hungry. Transportation is a daily struggle. Over 20 million children are out of school. Healthcare is broken. Power is unreliable. Jobs are scarce. Why are there so few startups solving fundamental Nigerian problems? And why are so many chasing problems that barely exist here? Technology is not about writing code. Technology is not about buzzwords. Technology is not about sounding smart on pitch decks. Technology is simply a better way of solving real problems. If your solution cannot meaningfully touch: •security •education •transportation •healthcare •food systems •jobs •cost of living then maybe it’s not innovation, maybe it’s just noise. Nigeria does not need more cool startups. Nigeria needs useful ones. Let’s go back to basics.
