Forbes, the influential international magazine has named 3 young Nigerian internet entrepreneurs to watch out for in 2014.
Their names are, Uche Pedro, founder, BellaNaija, Bankole Cardoso, CEO, Easy Taxi Nigeria and Tunde Kehinde, co-founder, Jumia Nigeria.
The 3 young internet entrepreneurs were named alongside 27 others as ’30 most promising young entrepreneurs in Africa 2014’ by Forbes magazine.
In the list that was released on Wednesday, 19 February, Forbes referred to these young entrepreneurs as builders, innovators and risk takers who are fervent in their resolve to transform the African continent.
“They are impatient to explore new possibilities and slowly but surely, they are building empires. They may be today’s upstarts, but they are tomorrow’s legends,” Forbes said. Uche Pedro, aged 30 is the Nigerian media entrepreneur that founded BainstoneLimited, a thriving new media company that develops online media content for African (primarily Nigerian) audiences.
Bainstone’s flagship media property, Bellanaija.com is Nigeria’s premier lifestyle, entertainment and fashion website, and garners an average of 10million page views every month.
Bankole Cardoso, 25, is the founder of the Nigerian Operations of EasyTaxi, a taxi mobile App that was founded in Brazil in 2012 by German technology startup incubator, rocket internet GmGH.
He worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Carlyle group in New York, before setting up Easy-Taxi in Nigeria Cardoso Easy-taxi mobile application serves a platform that connects cab drivers and would-be passengers. Through the App, passengers can confirm their pickup point and then order a cab at the click of a button. Easy-Taxi sends the passenger a confirmation of the name and phone number of your driver and the vehicle in real-time.
Lastly, Tunde Kehinde, the 30 year old Harvard MBA grad recently stepped down as co-founder of Jumia Nigeria, the country’s largest online retailer.
Kehinde founded Kasuwa, a Nigerian online retailer in 2012. Forbes noted that within days of its founding, Kasuwa received seed funding from German online startup incubator and the company’s name was changed to Jumia. Kehinde resigned in January to start a logistics company.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PUSH FOR TRUE CHANGE? Austria on December 12, 2018, made history by electing the world's youngest president, who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz. Before those elections, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youth are contented with being used, praise singers and be special assistants on social media, youth elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youth. Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. The bar has been raised in Austria, that elected a 31 year old man, as its leader. A 31 year old man in Africa, is probably in his parents house, unemployed, broke, eating free food and not bothered. The 31 year old Africans are feeling big, supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in),

WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE Nri Chinenye Audrey. It has been overwhelming, overwhelmingly exhausting. With every second of exhaustion died the dream and the promise to stay true to myself To be relevant To live and answer to my calling That voice within slowly becoming stifled as I gradually eased into the oblivion where I do not need to work my mind of creativity Where I become normal, regular And my purpose and calling to life, dead... Somewhere, somewhere within, the voice cried My conscience cried out powerfully loud in its small voice to remind me of our pact, that... WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE. And I awakened.. . . . What is your dream? What challenges are you going through that has made you so weary to the point of forfeiting your dreams? What is that thing that is causing you great distractions? The road to achieving much in life comes with many obstacles. Sometimes you get distracted, confused, overwhelmed, weary from failing too many a time. Whil

FROM AN INSECURE HOUSEWIFE TO AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED MAKEUP ARTIST By Love Olaleye As an undergraduate in the university, I engaged in different business like buying and selling clothes, making zobo, just to earn some money to augment the pocket money that never seemed enough. None of these businesses brought me the kind of joy I experienced when I decided to pursue my passion in makeup. First I became a Mary Kay rep; I would sell and show students how to use the products they bought. The joy that beams on their faces was fulfilling, despite the frustration of running after debtors. I remember my first bride who happened to have been my friend who was kind enough to allow me experiment on her face. As I drove out early hours of the morning around 6am, my car brakes suddenly failed, I ran into a tree off the road but God saved me, no scratch, I came out and the car was badly damaged. As the car was being towed home, it was a decisive moment, I had to decide wheth
