African Money Code: How He Built & Sold 2 Companies by Age 22 (Without Leaving Africa) - Chidi Nwaogu

He's been to 30 countries, built startups in Ghana and Nigeria, and sold two companies before 25 - and he says the biggest lie Africans believe is that leaving will fix their lives. In this episode, Chidi Nwaogu breaks down why 90% of your situation is on you, not the government. He shares the story nobody tells about the japa dream: the uncle with a master's degree who moved to the US and became a taxi driver, while the uncle who stayed in Nigeria now owns lands and houses. From coding for food at 19, to trekking 2 hours a day for 6 years just to afford cyber café time, to selling his first company at 21 - this is the blueprint for building where you are.
