Team

Loy Okezie 

Founder & Chief Editorial Officer

Loy is a Lagos-born, Lekki-based new media entrepreneur who founded Techloy in April 2008 (formerly StartupsNigeria), and now growing it to become a leading source of local technology and business information in Africa.
Prior to starting Techloy, he helped start-up CareersNigeria.com in 2007, one of the leading job portals in Nigeria and was hired as a Content Strategist in 2009 to help start-up an information search portal for Nigeria.
A Business Administration graduate, with a major in Marketing, Loy has consulted for several small and mid-size companies looking to increase their online brand awareness and has advised several start-ups on strategic implementation of ideas and revenue strategy.
In 2011, Loy had a brief stint in a newsroom while working at 234NEXT, where he was part of the news media company’s digital content team, responsible for keeping its website content fresh as well as managing its social media pages.
One of Loy’s biggest moments was when some of the world’s biggest blogs VentureBeat and GigaOM, tried to break his servers by linking to his personal blog after he broke the news about the Encipher INYE, Africa’s first tablet PC.
In the past, he wrote about emerging Internet companies for Memeburn and has contributed stories to the BBC, CNN, as well as other local and foreign media. He also provides commentary and analysis to international news sites such as CNN from time to time.
Loy is as busy as a beaver, so if you have an exclusive story you would like him to cover, kindly email: editor [at] techloy.com or reach him via Twitter @Loy_Z or Skype him with loy.okezie
Tip: I personally look out for the product, person and pitch for a possible coverage.

UPDATE

TechLoy.Com is Shutting Down

Loy Explain Why
Well, what can I say…OK, I’m not shutting TechLoy down :-p At least not yet, but I’m using this medium to announce that we’re moving the 9-year old technology blog to Medium — arguably the coolest publishing platform right now.

Why the move? Simple: We’re fed up with the issues around hosting, payments and security threats.We are bloggers and just want to focus on writing daily about the stories that matter and the startups that make things happen, rather than handle server and security issues on a daily basis.Of course, we understand the consequences of making this move from WordPress and are aware of the limitations of Medium at this time.
