Video insights

@businessinsiderssa's TikTok video "“I watched young people go from zero income to $400,000 salaries.” Nigerian entrepreneur Iyinoluwa Samuel Aboyeji, co-founder of Andela and former managing director of Flutterwave, highlighted the potential of African talent and technology during a discussion on Africa’s investment and industrialisation challenges at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 21, 2026. Aboyeji said Andela helped train a new generation of African software engineers, with some going on to become engineering directors at major global technology companies. He also pointed to Flutterwave, which he said grew into a $3.5 billion business built from Lagos, Nigeria. He argued that the conversation around Africa should shift from asking why people are denied opportunities to asking what can happen when people are given the knowledge and access they need to contribute to the global economy." has 2,775 views, 118 likes, 3 comments, 6 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
