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.

FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery.

DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE ENDLESS BLISS AND FIND LASTING FULFILMENT?  Every individual born into this world is endowed with at least a gift, with which to achieve greatness in life.

Unravel it early while you still have breath because it is your primary source of influence and affluence in life. Creativity is an asset entrusted to you as a special gift to benefit humanity with. If truly you are genuinely created in the image and likeness of God that automatically gives you the assurance of possessing creative and innovative power both to invent and to discover new and profound ways of doing things.  On this note we all @ SCHOOL OF PURPOSE DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL have brought the FABULOUS ...
