    @TomieBalogun did not start out with the goal to p @TomieBalogun did not start out with the goal to provide highly sought-after financial insights for over 60,000 Millenials by the year 2021. But, when she realized that she had a challenge with increasing her wealth even after working a number of corporate jobs, she decided to do something about it.

Currently, her fintech startup, The Green Investment Club, is on the verge of committing a 6-figure fund in dollars into a venture capital (VC) vehicle to be invested into African startups. TGIC has invested over $14 million into small and medium businesses and created more than 2,000 jobs. Tomie is also the founder of The Vestract Company; a financial education and investment opportunity platform.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.
