Why OneNaijaBoy? My Unfiltered Take on Nigeria (and Africa’s) Development Journey

Let’s be honest: scrolling through news about Nigeria and Africa can feel like riding a rollercoaster, hope one minute, heartbreak the next. But what if we stopped just watching and started building? Hi, I’m Onb, and this is OneNaijaBoy: your no-fluff space to explore how we’re actually developing, who’s leading the charge, and where you fit in.

I started ONB because I’m tired of the extremes. We’re either painted as a continent forever ‘rising’ but never arriving, or reduced to stereotypes of poverty and corruption. The truth? Nigeria and Africa is a mosaic of grit, innovation, and stubborn hope. Here, we’ll spotlight:

• The policies that work (and the ones that flop).
• The unsung heroes building tech hubs, schools, and farms from scratch.
• The hard questions our leaders should be answering.

This isn’t just a blog; it’s a call to action.
