Entrepreneurial Journey - From Airwired Nigeria to Ètò AirwiredX
In 2013, I founded Airwired Nigeria Limited, bringing advanced security solutions to the market with the help and support of my mother. Partnering with Motorola Solutions Avigilon Security, we delivered high-tech AI-driven surveillance across the country.
Some of our clients that benefited from our solutions include:
• Elizade Nigeria Limited
• Wema Bank PLC
We deployed over 200 security networks across Nigeria—but the vision had to expand.
In 2025, I founded A Software Ltd and Ètò AirwiredX was born.
The Ètò AirwiredX Vision – No Limits. No Barriers. No Excuses.
This is not just about software. This is about building the digital backbone for an entire population.
There are no limits to what we will build. Our goal is to continually expand the tools and platfomr to serve Yoruba and Pidgin speakers in all aspects of their digital lives whether through:
AI-powered Platforms – Smart, adaptive, and continuously learning systems.
Gaming & Interactive Learning – Because technology isn’t just utility—it’s also creativity.
Mobility & Logistics Solutions – Ridesharing, last-mile delivery, and transport intelligence.
Community & Decentralized Banking – Financial systems designed for people, not institutions.
Communication Platforms – Language-first messaging and connectivity.
Security & Privacy Innovations – Keeping digital spaces safe, private, and autonomous.
The technology is open-source.
The possibilities are endless.
Ètò AirwiredX is not here to compete with existing tech—it’s here to build what they never thought to create.
A Global Movement, Not Just a Project
The Yoruba language is not regional. It’s a global phenomenon—spoken across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
The world already recognizes Yoruba influence in music, business, and culture—but now, we’re building the tech to match.
Every great movement starts with a group of people who refuse to accept the status quo.
This is that movement.
This is Ètò AirwiredX.
The tools of the future will be built by us.
Join the Revolution – Coming Soon
We are building the foundation, and soon, you’ll be able to join, contribute, and shape the future.
Stay Tuned: Updates will be released as we launch new tools.
Connect with Us: A community-driven future starts with people who believe in it.
Ètò AirwiredX is coming. Be ready.
