From Timbuktu Chronicles Mon Sep 1 2014, 19:20:00

Odeshi in conversation with Victor Asemota founder of Swifta:

Victor starts his entrepreneurial journey by putting together computer systems in exchange for transportation fare. With little experience and the aide of a friend he launches an indigenous technology company to service the growing demands of the Nigerian market.

He eventually relaunches his prior failed business and today operates a successful pan African technology company from Ghana.
