Do you actually know what’s wrong with your business — or are you guessing?

In this episode, we talk with Muyiwa Femi-Pearse of The SME Mall about why many hardworking founders, especially women in business, stay stuck despite effort and sales.

From record-keeping to pricing, from rising costs to tax pressure, this is a real conversation about diagnosis before growth.

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t feel broke, but I don’t feel secure either,”

press play. Because clarity isn’t criticism.

It’s power.

If you want to drive or purchase an EV in Nigeria while also navigating how to use it in this power epileptic environment, then this podcast is for you.

Also if you wanna be a distributor, this is the perfect episode for you.

In this episode of MINIBA Season 5, we revisit a powerful conversation recorded in Dirty December 2023 — before electric vehicles and energy transition became mainstream topics in Nigeria.

What’s shocking? How relevant it still is.

We discuss:

Why copying global solutions without fixing local systems fails

Electric vehicles vs Nigeria’s real mobility problem

Why execution and systems matter more than ideas

What founders, builders, and policymakers often miss

How to think long-term about energy, transport, and growth

This episode sets the tone for Season 5: Builders — people who stop chasing shiny fixes and start repairing foundations.

If you’re building a business, a system, or a country — this one is for you.
