In this episode of StartUp Suits, host, BellaRose Okojie-Duruji moderates a Q&A session with some of the brightest legal minds in Nigeria's legal startup landscape;

Chiemela Iwegbulem - Legal counsel at Kuda

Adebayo Fabamise - founder of CrestHall Attorneys

Temitope Arowosegbe - Litigation Lawyer

Temitayo Sonuyi - Senior Counsel at Cresthall Attorneys

These legal talents thrash out issues between online businesses and their customers as well as startups and their approach to legal representation.

The episode also shines the spotlight on specific issues bedeviling the startup ecosystem in Nigeria; what founders should be wary of when conducting business and the process of making a suit which in our opinion, turned out to be much simpler than what we were made to think.

In this episode of the #TechCity #Podcast, we expose some of the things that #LoanApps in Nigeria do which border on destructive, intrusive and an infringement on privacy rights of its #customers. From the manner with which they market their products to the defaming ways they demand repayment, you will be stunned by the revelations made by our guest who is a ex-employee of a loan app company in Nigeria.

On the illegality of these actions by the loan companies, please refer to this bill published by the Nigerian Communications Commission (#NCC) - https://www.ncc.gov.ng/documents/911-data-protection-bill-draft-2020/file

Sometime in 2022, #techmaven #IyinAboyeji, founder of #Andela, #Flutterwave and other revolutionary tech companies was photographed making a presentation at #APCPresidential candidate, #bolaahmedtinubu's policy forum. 

This appearance of Aboyeji's got many people talking and it informed the question, should tech entrepreneurs go public with their support for a candidate or a party? Giving the position that their products and services often put them between government, regulatory bodies and their users.

On October 24, 2020 at the Bund Summit in Shanghai, China’s wealthiest man Jack Ma was preparing to float Ant Group, a fintech company, in what was billed to be the largest IPO in the world. But the listing never happened. That night was the last time that he was seen in public. In other puzzling happenings, #EndSARS protester and youth representative on the Lagos state End SARS judicial panel @savvyrinu called Nigeria a "Zoo" and was dragged for it. Aren't there more important things to "drag" though? Plus, the tech community lost a talent, David Ntekim-Rex to armed robbery and police nonchalance. We at TechCity condole with his family and pray for the safety of all. Thanks for listening, please like, subscribe and share this podcast everywhere! Also, wear a mask and keep a social distance. Cheers! ~ The TechCity team.

Tunde Leye is our guest on this episode finale of the CBN sanction series. While Tunde Leye is currently promoting his new movie title finding hubby, he first gained prominence when years ago, he started a blog called "Finding Hubby; The diary of Oyin Clegg." Bella says she read the blog religiously at the time. Haha, now many awards and published books later, not many know that Tunde at those times was neck deep into banking and financial solutions. He joins BellaRose on this episode to talk about the CBN sanction announced sometime this year from the perspective of a fintech operator, a bank user and the guy next door. Thanks for listening and please share this podcast to everyone you know and we hope you have a happy 2021. Here's to more episodes and more insightful conversations. Cheers from Team #TechCity!
