A young Nigerian woman has sparked widespread discussion after directly addressing Tosin Eniolorunda, the Chief Executive Officer of Moniepoint, regarding his recent statements about the quality of local talent. The lady, known as @queen_iphe on TikTok, posted a video on May 6, 2026, questioning the CEO's generalizations that Nigerian youths do not meet global standards.
In her video, @queen_iphe argued that the issue may not be a lack of skill among Nigerians but rather the absence of competitive offers from domestic companies. She emphasized that many firms desire world-class employees but fail to provide the environment and compensation necessary to retain such talent.
Key Points Raised in the Video
The TikToker specifically asked whether Moniepoint is willing to pay global-standard salaries, offer global-standard working conditions, and provide global-standard work benefits. She noted that Nigerian companies are in direct competition with international tech giants for the same pool of skilled workers.
@queen_iphe further stated: "We also have to remember that you are in a competition with these global companies as well, not just for profit, but for talent. And if they offer better than you do to those talent, they will get to those talent before you can."
Context of the Controversy
The video surfaced after widespread backlash against the Moniepoint CEO's claim that Nigerian youths lack necessary skills. The lady's pointed message resonated with many viewers, leading to the video going viral on the platform.
In a related development, another Nigerian lady, Olokunjuwon, has sued Moniepoint for allegedly opening accounts without her consent, citing a breach of her privacy rights.
