16-year-old founder building NaijaStack. Helping Nigerian SMEs track orders and stop fake payment fraud.

I am a 16-year-old solo developer from Bauchi, Nigeria. I built NaijaStack to help local WhatsApp vendors track orders, manage inventory, and stop losing money to fake payment screenshots. Currently building in public and looking for my first 100 users.
