BD Expert Contributor's Network

About Bendada.com Contributor's Network

In September 2022, we launched a web series in partnership with Jeremiah Ajayi. For over a year, Jeremiah has been a guest contributor, publishing some of our impactful reports.

Here’s it, we believe that we have a cream of readers that are brilliant with insightful perspectives on different issues that are affecting the African tech ecosystem. In the past, we have received guest articles—that we published and sometimes, we missed out on the requests and were unable to follow up properly.

Aware of the aforementioned, we have launched the Benjamindada.com Contributors’ Network, a community of volunteer contributors who will at their convenience share brilliant analyses of the African tech ecosystem.

Will You Steal My Ideas?

No, we are a newsroom that abides by journalism ethics and intellectual theft is not something we will indulge in. All submitted articles if approved will be published.

However, we will also inform you with evidence, in a case where our in-house reporters or another contributor was working on a similar report. In such situations, we might suggest a collaborative coverage.
