Like play, like play, Uncle Tunde is now an author! 😄
I've been "cooking" this for a while, and I’m super excited to announce that my book, "Economics with Uncle Tunde", is now available for preorder! It's an illustrative guide that breaks down economic concepts in simple, relatable language, and it's scheduled for release on Monday, October 21st, 2024.
This book is for anyone looking for a practical understanding of basic economics. A portion of the proceeds from every sale will go to an "Uncle Tunde Fund," which I'm also launching to support education and healthcare initiatives across Africa.
I’m beyond grateful to everyone who helped bring this project to life and to Dr. Yemi Kale for writing the foreword.
You can preorder a copy for yourself, a friend, or loved one using any of the links in my bio.
PS: Please share with friends and family, let’s spread the word!

Throwback to 2 weeks ago when I attended the Nolt Finance Summit. One of the best economic events I've attended this year. One of my key takeaways was about how we have moved from a "VUCA" to "BANI" environment, due to the current state of things in the Middle East.
Shout of the CEO of Nolt, @thebabatundedada , and the Nolt team for putting together an outstanding summit.
PS: VUCA is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex & Ambiguous, while BANI is Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear & Incomprehensible. Both are frameworks for understanding environments when things are in flux.

At the start of 2026, Sycamore had 25 open roles out of a team of 170: about 15% vacancies. Moniepoint’s reported 500 vacancies out of 3,500 people? Roughly 14%. Our realities aren’t that different (relatively speaking).
In this weekend’s article, I explore the deeper forces shaping Nigeria’s talent gap and the Talent Constraint Matrix I coined that shows what we can actually do about them.
Enjoy!

Choosing between a high-earning job and one that offers great experience depends on personal context and financial responsibilities.

When you talk about people who have dived deep into the entrepreneurship world and mastered the craft — the art of building, scaling, and sustaining businesses that actually matter — one name stands out.
Babatunde Akin-Moses.
Allow us to introduce one of the most electrifying speakers taking the stage at the Next Frontier Conference 2026 - a man who hasn’t just talked about building businesses; he has lived it.
As the Co-Founder and CEO of Sycamore Group, Babatunde has redefined what financial inclusion looks like in Africa. His fintech platform delivers credit, savings, and investment solutions to over 400,000 customers - particularly those left behind by traditional banking systems. That’s not a statistic. That’s impact at scale.
Babatunde has walked the road, run the race, and moved the trajectory of his business and on September 19th, 2026, he steps onto the Next Frontier Conference stage to hand you the blueprint.
Whether you’re a founder, a professional, or an ambitious entrepreneur ready to become a leading name in your industry — this is the room you need to be in.

Yesterday at the signing ceremony, my mind wandered back to 2019.
We had just secured our first investment of N1,000,000 and we felt like this business might actually work 😆.
A few weeks ago, we set out to raise N3 billion, but closed at N6.89 billion, oversubscribed by 230%. And quite sweetly, we're raising almost N7bn in the same year Sycamore turns 7. Call it 7-for-7!
This CP issuance is the first step in our roadmap towards our 2029 vision, when Sycamore turns 10. Glad this opening move has been a resounding success.
To our customers, partners, Sytizens, and everyone rooting for us: thank you. And don't get tired of us just yet. At least three more things to unveil before year-end.
The journey continues.
Raising money (equity specifically) was all the rave in 2021 and 2022. I recall a painful experience speaking to a journalist, who said he wasn't interested in talking to me if we had not raised at least $5m. Ouch! I don suffer sha
Anyway, the funding landscape has evolved since then. Debt has started to outpace equity, and fintech's share of overall funding is gradually declining.

If you live in Lagos or Abuja, you’ve probably spotted this billboard (image attached).
It’s actually Sycamore’s highest-converting ad to date, and it's partly inspired from principles we learned from Alex Hormozi’s book, $100M Offers.
In my latest article, I share some insights from reading "$100m Money Models," another best seller from Alex Hormozi.
