In Africa's tech scene, a space where creativity and skill converge at a breathtaking pace. Storytellers are the vital link between innovation and the world. They translate complex leaps into stories we can all understand. Among these essential voices, Benjamin Dada stands out. A Nigerian entrepreneur and insightful tech journalist, he is the founder of CONDIA, a publication that has become a cornerstone of Nigeria's tech media.

What sets Condia apart is its commitment to depth. It doesn't just report news; it provides crucial analysis, especially in the high-stakes arenas of African fintech and cross-border payments. Benjamin extends this mission from the page to the screen as the host of "The Big Tech Show" on YouTube. Here, he engages founders and investors in conversations that go beyond the surface, making the forces shaping Africa's digital future accessible to everyone.

The impact of this work is clear. Benjamin's authoritative reporting has earned recognition, including the Art of Technology Journalist of the Year award. More importantly, by building Condia into a trusted platform, he has directly amplified the stories of countless startups. He doesn't just document the ecosystem's growth; he actively helps build its narrative, cementing his role as both a chronicler and a shaper of Africa's technological ascent.
