The most profitable are the least talked about like Remita, CreditDirect, Renmoney but y’all prefer noisy neighbors πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

I know the list cannot have everyone, but Remita deserves a mention.

Now, about Tems. I'd say the way Piggyvest came in and defined that segment of the market with a unique offering kinda matches Tems' sound and the way Tems came in.

Also, let's talk about sending me some merch. Been a reader since pre-hiatus, and glad to see you writing for the 'masses' again.

Still scratching my beard over this Tems/Piggyvest comparison. And about that merch, please send me your shirt size and address!

Tems would have been Chipper Cash if they didn't "lose their way" for a bit.

Proper international appeal that one can't really explain, but with a fairly solid local audience that swears by it.

Yes yes! Definitely for the "loved by the global audience but the people back home no really understand the thing like that"

It just hit me this morning on my commute to work. Tems has to be Moove. Started in Naija in a niche crowd but pivoted/expanded overseas and is on the way to unicorn status.

Yes! I feel like I also said this on SM a few days ago. Great minds thinking alike and alldat

What about Carbon as Falz? They are just quietly killing it in the background and their impact focuses aligns with Falz's social justice work.

"You don’t have to like it, but you will respect the reach and body of work." In other words, you go bow for the result o! This was fun and pretty apt, felt like I was reading a zikoko article.

Now about that Merch....πŸ‘€
