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.

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.

Most Successful Nigerians Who Never Went To School By OlaPurpose James Asu Education is considered by many Nigerians to be the gateway to success and the passport to a better life. Debunking this myth that one cannot be successful without a formal education are these successful Nigerians who have been able to survive life’s challenges and cross the hurdle of a formal education to become who they are today.

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.

Neither did I gamble with the hypothetical cards, nor stroll through life at ease with no aim and subjected to all whims and caprice.” By Olajumoke Hadassah It wasn't a submission to hobby, desires and ambitions! The story of my talent is a reality settled before my existence. It was one predestined from the foundation of the world. Am I a born writer? I think so. But more importantly, I am made, and still in the making. I started writing at a young age. I was an ardent writer of 'story books.' And I finished my first 'complete' book at the age of thirteen. My writing has an history, one which began right in my home. With my Father as a writer, my first experience in the literary world was inside his 'Room-Library'. At a point I felt my ...
