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!:goodvibes:

One BIG takeaway for me in this interview is that despite the fact that the J.D. didn't fit his C.V. , he sold himself to the company and that's superb!
Right? I admire his determination.
