Swap Naija unveiled at Yali Network, #OLIC2 & Headies 2015
At the YALI Dinner
& Awards, on 26th December, 2015, Alex Taiwo Babalola (Chief Marketing
Officer) explained that he and his friends hope young Nigerians will be
inspired by the app; he enthused: “Now that the impossible is made possible, it
means you can also do it, break the barriers and make things happen”. The Chief
Operating Officer of the company, Opeoluwa Aiyegbusi explained that he was
inspired to create the mobile solution when his neighbour was attacked and he
thought swapping airtime across networks could have helped in making a distress
call. He advised the youths thus: “You have to be courageous to challenge the
status quo. Always look for ways to turn negativity to positivity. That is what
Swap Naija has done in enabling phone users to swap across different networks,
say MTN to Glo; Glo to Etisalat; Etisalat to Airtel, and vice versa”.
At Olamide Live In
Concert, which was held at Eko Hotel & Suites on 27th December, 2015, a

The same thing happened at Headies 2015,
where freebies were given out by Swap Naija team, and the Chief Operating
Officer of Swap Naija, Opeoluwa Aiyegbusi was interviewed on Headies Red Carpet
at the backstage. Also interviewed on the red carpet were other celebrities
like Small Doctor, Oritse Femi and MI, with the red carpet interviews being
beamed live on Hip TV.
Swap Naija in its space is a mobile app, which makes airtime
swap possible on the go in real-time. Before now, what was obtainable was a
transfer between subscribers from similar. Swap has been integrated with
different phone brands and telecom networks. The app can be downloaded at
Google Pay Store and Blackberry World (for BB10 and above) respectively. Work
is on-going to create versions for Microsoft and Apple phones. We hope to see
more innovations from this team in 2016.
Please release my husband- Dasuki's wife begs FG
According to The Nation, Mrs Dasuki made the plea on Tuesday night after her husband was re-arrested after he was able to meet his N500 million bail condition. Mrs Dasuki who created a scene outside the DSS Headquarters said;
“Nigerians should help me beg the Federal Government, the DSS and other agencies to release my husband who did his best to serve this nation. He is ill, he needs medical attention, he is not pretending. I implore the DSS not to allow him to die in custody. I saw my husband and I felt dejected. He is not just well. Nigerians should assist him to get a reprieve. We(myself, the children and relations) are all destabilised. We don’t know what is happening because three courts have granted him bail. Why are they after him? Let those concerned respect the court by releasing my husband. There is no way my husband will run away from the country under any guise. They should please follow the rule of law and uphold his right to bail.”she said
