Highlights
Jehovah God of all nations, have mercy on "us" Suddenly, we slept in one world and woke up in another. Disney has no more magic and Paris is no longer romantic.
Suddenly, in New York everyone sleeps. And the Great Wall of China is no longer a fortress.
Suddenly, hugs and kisses become weapons. Holding hands and walking the parks become outlawed.
Suddenly, not visiting aging parents and grandparents becomes an “act of love”.
Suddenly, our bombs and machine guns, our tanks and artilleries begin to gather dust.
Suddenly, we realized that power is with God alone. And that money has no value when it can’t even buy you toilet paper.
Suddenly, we have been put back in our place by the hands of the universe.
And we’ve been made aware how vulnerably “human” we truly are, when faced with a microbe so powerfully inhumane.
What is the hottest emerging industry in Africa right now?
It’s a tough question. But if I had to make an informed choice, it would be digital financial services, popularly known as ‘fintech’.
No other emerging industry in Africa is attracting as much international capital and backing like fintech right now. In 2018 alone, fintech startups in Africa raised $284.6 million from investors, almost half of all the funding raised by African tech startups in the whole year.
It’s hardly surprising why there is a gold rush in Africa’s fintech industry.
Over 60% of Africa’s adult population is unbanked. Up to 350 million of them own and use phones, but fewer own a bank account or have access to formal financial services. That’s a huge market indeed.
By using mobile phones and the internet, fintech entrepreneurs across the continent are deepening financial inclusion and unlocking incredible market opportunities in financial services. And the opportunities range from processing payments and money transfers, to savings, and access to credit.
