My only take from this is Nigeria is already blessed with many ideas, all that is left now is creating a clearer process like proper pilot testing and structured timelines before adoption. And if that happens, innovations like Gridcode could definitely improve the everyday life.

The more I hear about Gridcode, the more it’s starting to click. Lowkey feels like if there were more independent reviews for innovations like this, adoption wouldn’t take this long.

Bruh reading through this Gridcode story, you can tell the innovation was always there. The challenge was the path it had to go through because what if we just had structured evaluation systems? 🤦🏼‍♂️ We’d unlock a lot more local potential.

This GridCode story really highlights that great ideas are out there, but how they’re assessed makes a huge difference. If there were a more impartial way to review innovations, progress like this could happen much faster.

For real, for GridCode to get to the FEC after Vice Osinbajo directed for it to be evaluated e mean sey the app good for Nigeria. NIPOST and their parent Ministery just removed it to create an opportunity for themselves to get back in the picture🤔

Got time to fully read this again and it is clear that Nigeria was only 1 step away from having a digital addressing system as far back as 2021 through GridCode

There's an executive order that protects Nigerian innovation such as GridCode but as usual it's far from being implemented.

Building something useful in Nigeria without government support is a different kind of resilience. Gridcode didn’t just build an app, it tried to solve a real, everyday problem: how people find places in a country where directions are still “turn left when you see a two-storey building.” But the harder part isn’t the building, it is the convincing - convincing people it matters, convincing systems to adopt it and convincing your own country and government to believe in it early. Too many Nigerian founders live in the space of “almost” - almost funded, almost adopted, almost seen, only to watch imported solutions take their place. Nigeria doesn’t lack ideas, It lacks early belief in its own. Still, builders keep going.

I need you people to follow this man’s story from the very beginning, go through his TL and you’ll understand how frustrating it is to be an innovator in Nigeria. This Gridcode is supposed to make our lives easier but he’s not getting the support he needs. So sad.

It’s insane how Nigeria’s leaders and failing economy crush dreams daily… yet everyone is sleeping on Gridcode, the one tool that could fix so many of our everyday struggles

It’s so sad that Nigerian leaders and the economy itself is a killer of dreams, But they’re sleeping on this Gridcode that can easily solve our everyday problems. SMH

If you’ve ever had to describe your house with ‘the second turning after the filling station at the junction’ then you will understand the reason Gridcode is very important.

I’m happy the founder of Gridcode didn’t give up when he wasn’t getting the support he needed, we’d have missed out on this brilliant piece of Tech.

I absolutely agree! Give us the resources and support, and we'll solve problems left and right! It's not just about funding, it's about creating an ecosystem that empowers innovators to scale. If we had more initiatives backing our local talents, the possibilities are endless. Gridcode is a perfect example.

The solution an innovation like Gridcode is offering is one that should be given proper attention by the government because this an addressing system that would make everyday navigation easier for Nigerians

When Nigerian talent gets the right support, everyday challenges become simple solutions. Gridcode is proof of that

Solutions like Gridcode show that if a Nigerian talent like this is given a proper backing, our everyday problems will get easily resolved.

It’s honestly so discouraging tbh. If Nigerian creators get all the support they need, this country will be one of the most developed in Africa. An app like GridCode makes life so easy for everyone especially people in logistics and transport business like dispatch riders and bolt guys. It’s a kind of innovation that we should all be talking about and amplifying.

2018: I took GridCode Digital Addressing to government. Months later NIPOST announced a partnership with What3Words instead. My intervention led to GridCode presented at FEC in 2021. FEC directed a minor review. 7 years was lost. A military veteran's story lnkd.in/dkfmtisU
