promotional and non-notable.Probable paid editor rsponsible for a number of similar articles. The references look impressive, but they do not hold up: they are promotional interviews where the person speaks whatever he pleases--and, as can be seen from the titles and confirmed by looking at the text, some of them duplicate. The various annual Forbes "30 under 30" and similar lists are promotional gimmicks, and do not lead to notability  DGG ( talk ) 23:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete —, couldn’t have said it any better. The whole article is a promotional piece for a subject seeking a Wikipedia presence. Only one source appears to be reliable but they don’t discuss subject with significant coverage. Furthermore undisclosed paid editing might be a factor here as author of this article @ has two more of such articles on non notable “prominent” businessmen but both thankfully have been declined appropriately by the AFC process.Celestina007 (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - ordinarily I would try to argue the Guardian coverage is a good start, but it seems every single piece of independent coverage is tied solely to these rankings in Forbes, etc., not noting any particular notability beyond that. Perhaps a case of too soon, but either way delete. I also couldn't find other sources online to add to what is already on the page. 67.243.20.177 (talk) 22:46, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment That two other articles I created got declined by the AFC process shouldnt mean I am a paid editor as I am not. It should be a case of not meeting the notability requirements which I have openly admitted to  but unfortunately I have not had it easy in getting advice and help on how to edit articles better. I know there are articles to read about the guidelines and process, which I have read and tried to adhere to. I enjoy the process of editing Wikipedia pages and I don't think not been successful in one should stop me from trying again.Kojomo (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject is the co-founder of a non-notable company. His only claim to notability is being listed on Forbes Africa's 30 under 30 list.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 13:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW. I specifically disagree that Forbes "30/30" lists provide notability; they are useful as a source, however, once notability has been established. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
