He also listed some of the challenges of the tech driven Startup and how successful Startups have been able to cope with the copycat syndrome as well as increased competition.
He also provided us with a unique insight into what it really feels like to work in Nigeria’s “Yabacon Valley”.
And yes, that’s not all! You will also get to know which Startups Bankole is excited about and why they could be Nigeria’s own Facebook or Uber.

Thank you for above comments ,I hope this will the last time I will hear the phrase Yabacon Valley.We need to major on substance,depth and innovation not just superficial hype.
Branding our technology hub after a name derived from America can create a subconscious inclination to pattern our business and innovative models after them.
This may not necessarily benefit our society.
