From Passyxchange to MyPassyApp: A Long-Term Bet on Trust

By Bolaji Idoko

Launching quickly has become common in technology. Waiting three years is not.

That decision defines the story behind MyPassyApp, a Nigerian digital finance platform founded by entrepreneur Passy.

The company says it intentionally postponed its launch until it believed the product met the standard users deserved.

Built from years of operating Passyxchange, MyPassyApp expands beyond crypto by bringing together cryptocurrency trading, gift cards, airtime purchases and bill payments within one application.

“We weren’t trying to be first,” Passy said. “We wanted to build something people could depend on.”

The launch event reflected both business ambition and personal significance. Hosted by Uti Nwachukwu, it welcomed creators including Valking and Mbah, alongside customers and supporters.

A memorable highlight came when Passy’s father recounted the company’s early beginnings before praying publicly for its future.

To reinforce confidence in the platform, the company processed live withdrawals worth ₦100,000 and presented a $100 Apple Gift Card during product demonstrations.

The startup says it has surpassed 1,500 users within weeks of launch, without paid marketing or public relations.

As competition intensifies across Nigeria’s fintech sector, MyPassyApp believes long-term trust—not short-term hype—will determine success.

What Mintslate Media’s Job Seekers Teaches Us About Politeness, Power, And Survival At Work

Politeness is often praised as professionalism. But in many workplaces, it is also a form of control. Mintslate Media’s upcoming psychological horror film Job Seekers examines how politeness operates as an unspoken rule within professional systems, especially when power is uneven and opportunity is scarce. Rather than presenting the workplace as neutral, the film reveals how survival can depend on silence, compliance, and emotional restraint. Founded in February 2025 by filmmaker Seyi Oluwatimilehin, Mintslate Media was created to tell stories rooted in lived experience. Job Seekers, directed by Seyi Oluwatimilehin and Alan Vega, reflects that vision by centering its story on Maya, a young immigrant attending a job interview that could determine her right to stay. “One of the reasons I founded Mintslate Media was to tell stories that are real, stories that are relatable, honest, and true to our time and existence,” Seyi Oluwatimilehin says. “Every one of these films carries a piece of ...
