He is confident that the next Silicon Valley will be in Africa, African techies are close to making it a reality. Emmanuel’s favourite quote “data is the lifeblood of every successful organization” is true and highly relatable. How disorganized would things have been without data? As interesting as tech is, it can also be challenging. The survival skills techies need are: critical thinking and determination to succeed. Emmanuel views tech as a field that can be draining without a support system. Having a mentor and network of like minds is the way to overcome the challenges.
