Lagos Edition: Naija Banks, Startup Scene, Facebook Woes
In this Lagos edition of the podcast, I spend time with Dapo Olaopa and we touched on some local and international topics.
The stock market has a way of reacting or overreacting to news. We talk about how this affected Facebook recently. Quite a few Naija banks are getting into mergers and acquisitions. Could this be a way to be a proactive measure to keep them relevant in an industry dominated by FinTech? We also talk about Apple's new solution for businesses as well as China's gigantic foray into the Cocoa industry. Finally we touch on the very divisive gist of Spotify and Joe Rogan.
Links to some of the things we talked about:
China - the next cocoa superpower? - Confectionery News
Facebook’s $232 billion fall sets record for largest one-day value drop in stock market history - CNBC
Apple empowers businesses to accept contactless payments through Tap to Pay on iPhone - Apple
