ARE YOU JUST HEARING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME? SHARED ECONOMY!

A lot of things are losing their core purpose of creation... And a lot more will.

Internet of things (IoT) have disrupted how we use the car garages, Warehouses, and our Mobile phones.

Where we live, why we live and how we live is also changing... Where we work and the work culture is changing so fast!

The future is now and the early adopters are the ones who are going to reap heavily on what's about to hit Africa! Though it will be tough as hell...but it allow open up opportunities untold!

The shared economy is in her early phase and companies like Uber, Lyft, HelloTractor are already building unicorn from this model.

The truth is, Collaboration is the new economy and it's not leaving anytime soon! In fact it's going to shape a new culture and world of its own.

Now, check it out, one of the biggest challenges in the African continent is poor Infrastructure, what if we have one big model that can give leverage to multiple small businesses or individuals to build their idea.

What if we have one big company that allow clusters of Businesses to build their tentacle on their space, and change the narrative in AFRICA.

What if we have group of small businesses in an industry come together and build system that help them cut cost that involves huge factory overheads, insurance and their likes.

We need to keep aside our ego as Africans and eradicate this culture of #OnlyMe. We need to build this future we want. No alien can build that. This is the Africapitalism crying in the wilderness saying ‘Prepare ye the way for Economic Emancipation’

Just a mad man in the class of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos
