Pettysave Microfinance Bank has launched a new fintech solution called Genius App. The unveiling happened at the sixth Wealth Summit in Lagos.
The app offers savings, credit, and business tools to help Nigerians survive the country’s tough economy.
Over 7,000 people attended the summit, themed “The Real Money of Lagos.” Students, entrepreneurs, and professionals gathered to learn how to build wealth despite inflation and unemployment.
Chairman of Pettysave and Co-founder of Pertinence Group, Dr Sunday Olorunsheyi, described Genius as a game-changer.
“Our mission is to create platforms for financial freedom. Genius is a tool that people can take advantage of to succeed,” he said.
He added, “We don’t just complain about the economy; we provide solutions that update people’s lives, just like software updates.”
Olorunsheyi said the summit focuses on impact, not just numbers. “People come here and return a different version of them. It’s like updating your software.”
Pertinence Group has helped over 100 businesses grow in the last ten years. Thousands have received incentives like cars, homes, and international trips.
Discipline, Resourcefulness, and the Wealth Journey
Chairman of Coscharis Group, Dr Cosmas Maduka, urged young Nigerians to embrace discipline.
“Only a fool spends all he has. Start saving early, even from age five,” he said.
Maduka shared his story of hawking at age 10 and building one of Nigeria’s biggest companies.
“What matters is access, relationships, and value creation. If I could make it, anyone can,” he said.
Wisdom Ezekiel, Co-founder of Pertinence, challenged the belief that capital is key.
“Resources will always follow resourceful people. If you are not resourceful, resources cannot follow you,” he said.
He encouraged persistence. “They didn’t accept you today, show up tomorrow. Keep advancing, adjusting, and doing the right thing.”
Financial literacy advocate, Olumide Emmanuel, praised the summit’s consistency.
“This summit is bridging the wealth gap. It’s showing people the systems and habits they need to move forward,” he said.
