NdaniTV Young: Tayo Oviosu, CEO Paga

I first heard of Paga from my sister, who is also my business partner, when we were discussing payment options for an ecommerce site we were developing at the time. I did not realise then that Paga was a start-up; I just thought it was another company branching out into Nigeria. One of the things I like about Tayo Oviosu after watching this video is that is understands start-ups not just as business ownership but as a culture. Start-ups are machines for innovation. Most innovations come out of small businesses that are willing to take risks and develop new ideas because they don't have much to lose. I also like that one of his visions is very similar to mine; professionalising the start-up environment in Nigeria by providing infrastructure. 

NdaniTV Young CEO: Ola Orekunrin/ FlyingDoctors Nigeria

Often, the best ideas are born out of personal tragedy. That spirit of "Never Again" can really push individuals to come up with solutions that might seem daunting if not for the tragic context. Take for example the work that Ola Orekunrin is doing with her organisation Flying Doctors in Nigeria. After the death of a sibling, she decided she wanted to tackle the problem that contributed to the death by starting an emergency service that allows patients to be moved safely to places where they can receive the care that they need. Her business solves a critical problem within the Nigerian healthcare sector. Watch her interview with NdaniTV below.

NdaniTv Young CEO : 3Invest's Ruth Obih

I just discovered this series on Ndani TV that profiles Nigerian entrepreneurs. I like this series because it gives me a vision of what is possible. I am able to see other young entreprenuers that are Nigerians that are making it in Nigeria. I really enjoy reading Forbes Lists and such because they give me an aspirational view on life but things like this Ndani TV series give me a realistic view of life. This is important because I can tell that it is possible to overcome the many obstacles one faces with doing business in Nigeria.
