All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

A case for why funding Africaʼs basic infrastructure for trade (commerce/finance/logistics) could use patience. @skweird and I will continue to pull this thread. If youʼre a founder, thinker, investor or troublemaker who wants to come along, get in touch: open.substack.com/pub/trajec…

Replying to @thesbtxt @paystack
