This week, we had Frank Eleanya, Senior Reporter and Head of the Enterprise and Policy desk at TechCabal, join us.
We talked about why it feels like your data disappears more quickly in Nigeria, why most of the 46 licensed telecom service providers in Nigeria are still sitting on the sidelines, Spiro’s $215 million raise, and so much more.

MTN has launched a streaming platform called MTN One TV. While this is not the telco’s first foray into streaming, the One TV launch marks MTN’s most ambitious attempt yet to build a pan-African content business.
Here's @AquilaMAGIC with everything you need to know about the new streaming platform.
Will you be switching to One TV or sticking with the established streaming giants?

Africa's tech ecosystem has no shortage of ambition. What it's short on is the stuff that doesn't always make headlines, alternative capital, AI infrastructure, and research that the rest of the world isn't doing for us.
At Moonshot 2025, Napa Onwusah, CEO of B4B Partners and a 25 year business leader and angel investor, and Anil Atmaramani, Partner at Antler Africa, know what it takes to fund growth differently. Alex Tsado, co-founder of Alliance4AI, and Jade Abbott, CTO at Lelapa.AI, are two of the people actually building Africa's AI infrastructure. And John Kamara, Chief AI Futurist at Equity Technology Group, has spent his career proving why research is the investment nobody wants to make, but should.
Moonshot 2026 won't just bring faces. It'll bring the leaders rewriting what's possible for Africa's tech ecosystem.

Trenderz started as an influencer marketing business. Then it shut down a working model to build something bigger.
Today, it tracks recommendations from content to booking to creator payout across five African markets.Â
CEO Kim Tran believes the real opportunity isn't influencer marketing. It's the recommendation economy.

Family Bank, a Kenyan bank with assets worth KES 230.3 billion ($1.78 billion), has received the Capital Markets Authority’s approval to list on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on June 23.

The listing will allow existing shareholders to trade their shares on the NSE without raising new capital. It comes after Family Bank raised KES 8 billion ($61.8 million) in a 2025 private placement, exceeding its KES 6.09 billion ($47.1 million) target.
