Flutterwave co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, has criticised Nigeria’s younger generation, describing them as “a generation of influencers” more interested in appearances than building lasting institutions.
Aboyeji made the remarks during an interview on the Afropolitan Podcast conducted last week, with clips from the conversation gaining widespread attention on social media on Tuesday.
“The generation of people who built Nigeria has passed away. What you have now are influencers. We’re a generation of influencers,” he said.
According to the tech entrepreneur, many young Nigerians have been conditioned to seek visibility rather than create enduring value.
