Some takes are best kept in pencil.
A few weeks ago I clocked Iyinoluwa Aboyeji's big week, and the Africa Finance Corporation's (AFC) part in it, as a sovereignty moment prone to awkward oversimplification.
Aboyeji read it differently.
In the LinkedIn comments he said he wasn't sure I had it right, and pointed me to a 25-minute fireside chat with Tage Kene-Okafor at Accelerate Africa's AA4 Demo Day on 30 May 2026. So I watched it.
I reckon part of why Aboyeji is easy to misread is that he speaks from several roles at once. He has been a founder and, in some ways, still is.
