The Naira Life Conference is Zikoko’s flagship money event. It brings together wealth builders, entrepreneurs, financial leaders, and everyday Nigerians for a day of conversations about money, careers, scaling businesses, and growing wealth.
Join us as we cut through the “hush culture” to give you unfiltered stories, expert insights, actionable strategies, and direct access to the people and tools that can change your financial game.
Shoutout to @zikoko_mag for creating the anonymous space for money conversations to be had. We need more legitimate money conversations to gain currency out here.
I’m obsessed with @Zikoko_Mag’s #NairaLife and #Money articles. They are so insightful and motivate me to make money. ‘Cause truly there’s money to be made.
There’s nothing that makes me feel excited about Monday morning like @Zikoko_Mag Nairalife weekly content. I love what @Insidethe Cabal team are doing with the Nairalife section👏👏.
