Nigeria VC funding approaching all-time low as a percent of funds raised across Africa. Suggests investors are more bullish about other African markets than ours. Hopefully this bottoms out soon and we get back up cuz there's immense entrepreneurial talent in Nigeria.

This isn't just lagging data; investors are less bullish on Nigeria. The questions we should be discussing is why, despite its talent and population size?

In Africa, funding isn’t just capital; it’s belief in untapped potential.

What fuels our future isn’t oil or gold, it’s who’s willing to back the bold.

Funding in Africa is more than a transaction, it’s an act of transformation.

Every fund deployed in Africa creates a ripple in economies the world often overlooks.

The continent doesn’t lack ambition; it lacks access.

No seed grows in a vacuum; founders need the rain of real funding to thrive. But funding doesn't just happen. You need access. You need clarity. You need the right room.

Most African startups fail because of cashflow, not competition.

Focus kills burnout. Clarity of mission drives momentum.

Team culture matters 10x more when you can’t afford to hire again.

What looks like a niche today could be Africa’s next unicorn.
