Uche Eze leads a pack of Nigerian internet moguls with her famous
blogazine, BellaNaija and with her meek nature and quiet demeanor one
could almost assume that she lacks the kind of drive that keeps her at
the top of the Nigerian blogosphere! Meeting her years back was such a
pleasure, knowing her an even greater one. She has inspired, motivated
and got a whole generation of young entrepreneurs in the country believe
in and strive towards actualising their individual dreams!
In Uche's words; I remember meeting the ever-stylish Bode years back as well, a committed
music entrepeneur who I would later discover was a geek to the bone!
Bodes passion to create his own brand of computers was infectious. I
recall years ago, that he would show me prototypes and share with me the
awesome software he was creating to power these devices. I recall the
glow on his phase when he announced to me that his local factory was
set-up and ready to churn out these amazing devices and today his VEDA
brand is catching on quite fast amongst the youth population who love
the colourful pieces and the executives who love the silver-lined ones.
Uche and Bodes relationship was one of Lagos’ best kept secret and I
only found out a few years ago at Bodes twenty-somethingth birthday
party. As I type on my VEDA computer (yes I own one) and take a quick
look at BellaNaija.com, I realise that this couple have indeed touched
my life (not just because I know them) amongst millions of others!
