I read about Trojan in an article, hearing him talk about it makes me feels more confident about my tech journey.
You are amazing.
Oh My Gosh!
This has to be my favourite episode now.
Initially, i felt the duration was quite lengthy but the moment I clicked play and watched Itimi do her thing, then I was glad i watched it. Michael Okoh is just an amazing person and I just relate easily with the guy especially when he said he doesn't like stress and wants to be a billionaire with a low profile.
A Job well-done @peaceitimi.
watching this makes me realise that I have to do something about the sad state of computer studies in our tertiary institutions

Hey Peace! I really love your videos, was wondering if in the next founders connect video you could maybe ask the founder more about the setup process, like registration requirements in Nigeria, legal and accounting and really a bit more details on how to go about it.
Thank You!
I'm on the right path😁
I hope to meet Trojan someday...You can invite Jordan Irabor Next
