There are maybe a dozen decent places to read about Nigerian tech. Almost all of them are written for people watching the industry — investors, founders, and reporters chasing the next raise. If you have to open a laptop on Monday and do the work, you end up reading between the lines of somebody else’s story.
This site is for you instead. Junior devs. People switching in from banking, teaching, or that long stretch after NYSC when nothing quite lands. Students. Engineers already three years deep, just wanting to know whether their salary is fair.
Every piece here has to answer one of three questions, or it doesn’t run: should I care about this? How do I do it? Or is it worth my money?
What I write about.
How-tos and explainers. The unglamorous, useful stuff. Setting things up, fixing things that broke, and understanding what a tool actually does before you commit a year to learning it.
Buying guides and reviews. Laptops, routers, ISPs, POS terminals, and cloud credits. Prices in naira from sellers you can actually reach, along with the date we checked them. A spec sheet isn’t a review.
Industry news, filtered. Funding rounds and shutdowns matter here only when they change something for you: who’s hiring, who’s about to stop, and which new rule just broke your payment stack.
Salary and career. The part that almost nobody publishes honestly is the salary. What roles pay, what interviews are really testing, and how to get paid from abroad without losing a chunk to fees nobody warned you about.
Want to work with me?
Whether you have a story, a pitch, or a correction – I want to hear from you.
Get in touchWhat I won’t do
I won’t review something I haven’t used. I won’t review a press release or a spec comparison dressed up as an opinion. If I can’t get my hands on it, I’ll say the piece is a roundup and tell you what it’s based on.
I won’t write a headline the article can’t catch. Overselling works once. After that, you stop trusting anything on the site, and there’s no version of the story that survives if you don’t trust it.
I won’t pretend the testing was more thorough than it was. If I only tried it on Airtel in Lagos, that’s what the piece will say. Your experience on Glo in Jos might be completely different, and you deserve to know which parts of my answer are solid and which are just guesses.
And I won’t take money for a verdict. Sponsors and advertisers don’t see drafts, don’t get review copies in exchange for coverage, and don’t get to change a conclusion.
Questions, answered.
Is this site monetised?
Yes — via reader subscriptions and a carefully chosen annual sponsor (shown only on the homepage, never in articles). No affiliate links, no crypto ads, and no “brought to you by”.
How do I pitch a story?
Send a 3-paragraph summary via the contact form. We respond to every serious pitch within five business days. We do not publish guest posts for SEO — only original reporting or deep technical analysis.
Do you use AI to write?
Never for the text itself. Writers may use AI for outlining, research synthesis, or editing assistance — but every published sentence is written, reviewed, and signed off by a human. Our editorial policy is public; it’s linked at the bottom of every article.
What’s your publishing cadence?
Three long-form articles per week, plus a weekly newsletter dispatch on Fridays. We’ve never missed a Friday issue since issue #001 in 2020.
