Chinedu created hopstop and sold it to Apple for a lot of money. The website is widely used abroad. It tells you how to get from one place to another with public transportation instead of driving. So it gives you directions sha using train, bus, taxi, walking,etc.

Rest in peace Komla.

This list makes no sense. I don't see the name of CEO of MicoSatr Mall,CEO of ShopRite, and other more influential companies in Nigeria and Africa.

Maybe I should say congrat to the 3Nigerian. But am as usual curious to ask what is Forbes's yardstick and why Komla Dumor now that he's dead. I mean why wasn't included when alive?

Where are the Jumia CEOs Mr Tunde and Raphael. I guess they are still doing boy boy for those foreigners (Egyptians) who call themselves the N0 1 online retailer in Nigeria.

They had better wake up and see what SIM shagaya is already doing and Achieving

Dealdey is just a nuisance,sending stupid mails even after one has complained n unsubscribed to their nonsense service.

Why is Dangote's name,and my name not on the list lol.On a seriuos note,what criteria was used,because I am well informed,but I haven't heard most of the name on the list.

Anonymous said...

Since this is Linda's blog, you people should help me tell Shagaya to tell his people to deliver my water dispenser which I ordered on Konga and returned cos when it arrived, it wasn't working, its past the seven working days they asked for to deal with the issue. So much for Konga being a powerful business if they deliver faulty items. Smh. Linda post this o.
