        Investors who ignore Nigeria now have to ask themselves: What do I know that Patrick Collison doesn't?

        We probably would have many more if the government funded organizations stop hounding every young person they see with a laptop. That's why we're trying to #EndPoliceBrutality #EndsSARS

        Paul, an inspiring story too, given that Nigeria is currently engulfed in anti-police protests inspired by wrong police profiling. The police picks youths seen with laptops, smartphones & dreadlocks. The same tools, ironically, built Paystack! And its cofounder spots dreadlocks.
