The world is in shock — China has built its own artificial sun!

Yes, you heard right. Not a metaphor. Not a sci-fi movie. A real artificial sun — and they just tested it for the second time last week!

This is no joke. China’s technology is on another level entirely. While the rest of us are still figuring things out, they’re out here recreating the sun like it’s a lightbulb. Their pace of advancement is nothing short of geometric madness.

Over 70% of the world’s products now come from China… and at this rate, they might just cancel night and turn every hour into work o’clock. Imagine working 24/7 — no more “see you tomorrow,” just “see you in the next hour.”

Tosin Eniolorunda, the founder of Moniepoint, is a wealthy young man.

He will be 40 this year and should be unarguably one of the richest, brightest young minds of my generation.

According to unofficial estimates, his stake at Moniepoint is worth over $100 million.

But he was not always this wealthy; running and founding Monie Point changed his life.

Prior to 2017, before Moniepoint was founded, Tosin was just a tech entrepreneur who ran a software consulting company, and he was living at 1004 Estate in Lagos at that time.

What Tosin’s consulting company does is simple: provide a software solution that Nigerian banks use for their day-to-day operations.

But they were doing more than that.

They also build bank apps.

Sterling Bank and Unity Bank apps were built by Tosin and his team at Team Apt, the name of the software company.

Until one day, Tosin got an email from Sterling Bank that the bank is pulling out and does no longer require the services of Team Apt.

Tosin’s mind went blank; he was driving on Ikoyi Road when the message came in.

Sterling Bank was an important, valuable customer, and losing them was a fatal blow for his business cash flow and a monumental setback for his young, budding tech business.

How he was able to get to his destination after digesting that mail was a miracle.

From that setback, his team went back to the trenches to strategize and plan on how to stay afloat.

From that setback, that was how the Dream Monie point was born.

For Monie Point to become a reality and not suffer a stillbirth, one man so much believed in Tosin and in his dream to revolutionize the fintech industry, one customer at a time.

His name is Olu Oyinsa, and he runs Oui Capital, an early-stage African venture capital firm that invests in fintechs and early-stage tech companies.

He met Tosin and was like, Yo! This guy is different, and because of that conviction, he invested $150,000 in Moniepoint for a 1.2% stake in Moniepoint, and his investment was done in 2019.

His understanding of the banking technology stack and payment infrastructure was impressive. I knew he was up to something exciting,” Oyinsan recalled.

Without that conviction and strong belief in Tosin and Moniepoint by Olu Oyinsan, Moniepoint could have died.

Fast forward to 5 years later, after the $150,000 investment into Monie Point was made.

Monie Point has grown, has scaled, and is now a unicorn (a company worth $1 billion and above).

That $150,000 invested into Moniepont in 2019 is now worth more than $10 millon.

Last month, Olu and his team partially took out $8 million from their investment .

A very successful exit success story and rare in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem

The naira one day will appreciate when we have good leaders that,have the interest of this country at heart....#nairamustgrow #foundingfathers

SAD

VDM uncovers documents of over 1000 under aged girls that were trafficked to Ivory Coast . This is scary , some of these young girls are kidnapped and trafficked , some are lied to and they accept to go . They stay and go work for their masters in Ivory Coast .

The craziest thing is their documents are being signed by Government officials. Like who does that ? You authorize a young girl traveling out without her mother or father ?

Look at how VDM is fighting to bring them back . Yesterday was his birthday but he couldn’t even celebrate cus of this .

Moral lesson : We still have people who hate VDM ?

Everyone dreams of a forever kind of love, until they realize forever takes work.

People see our photos and think we got lucky.
That we “found” some rare kind of love that just works.

We often get asked, “How do we find a love like yours?”

Well, here’s the truth..

You don’t find a love like this. You build it.

You build it through years that stretch you.
Through nights you sleep back to back because you’re both too stubborn to say sorry.
Through learning each other’s love languages when it would be easier to walk away.

You build it through therapy sessions.
Through breakdowns in the kitchen.
Through sincere apologies.

You build it through boredom. Yes, boredom.
Because somewhere between school drop offs, grocery runs, and the same old shows, it happens. You start to feel more like roommates than lovers.

But here’s the secret. That doesn’t mean the love is gone. It just means it’s time to put more effort into it again.

Put your phone down during dinner. Book the babysitter. Make time. Get dressed up just because. Send the flirty text. Hold hands at the grocery store.

Because the kind of love we have now?
It wasn’t handed to us. It wasn’t effortless. It wasn’t easy.

It was built, slowly and quietly. Over years of choosing each other, even when it was hard to.

Don’t go looking for “a love like ours.”

Start building one.

"No Nigerian girl should date a Nigerian man. Nigerian men and women should not be in relationships with each other.

The problem is that we share the same foundation and upbringing, and that’s why it can never work. It’s like police and thief—no matter what, there will always be wahala. Even if nothing is wrong, we will still find something wrong."
