@asemota Holding your secret sauce is very key, A founder I pitched to was asking my software provider and I was like, if I tell you why am I pitching to you, won't you go directly. Next thing he say "if you don't tell me, I won't integrate"... lol 😆. I like Donald Duke's style now.

Being able to do basic stuff like pay for Apple Music or Spotify and order on Aliexpress from Africa is not as simple as it sounds. Due to many restrictions from Central Banks and foreign card providers, these otherwise simple procedures can be strenuous.
