Driven by a passion for problem-solving and a deep understanding of Nigeria’s economic realities, Obinna built Buzzy.ng to serve ordinary Nigerians: students, vendors, hustlers, creators, and event organizers. For him, technology should be simple, relevant, and profitable for the people who use it.

 

Why He Built Buzzy.ng

The idea for ‍Buzzy.ng didn’t come from a boardroom, it came from the streets, the campuses, and the market stalls. Obinna noticed a gap in how small businesses and young creatives were able to promote, sell, and earn online. Most platforms were either too foreign, too expensive, or too complicated.

So he decided to build something local. Something smart. Something designed with everyday Nigerians in mind. That vision gave birth to Buzzy.ng, a mobile app that allows users to sell products, host events, promote content, buy airtime, pay bills, and earn commissions through referrals.

A Proud Launch from Nnewi

Unlike many Nigerian startups that begin in Lagos or abroad, Buzzy.ng was developed and launched from Nnewi. On May 2, 2025, Obinna unveiled the platform at the Nnewi Digital Week, held at The Nnewi Hotel and Event Center. The launch attracted attention from local tech stakeholders and digital entrepreneurs, marking a big step for tech visibility in the Southeast.

His choice to build in Nnewi was intentional. He believes innovation should not be limited to major cities. By starting in Nnewi, he’s proving that tech can grow anywhere there is vision, talent, and support.

What Makes His Approach Different?

Obinna Muoma is not chasing hype or venture capital headlines. His focus is on real value for real users. Buzzy.ng isn’t a one-trick product, it’s an ecosystem. Under his leadership, the platform has grown to serve multiple purposes:

  • Marketplace for products and services
  • Event creation and voting system
  • Airtime and utility bill payments
  • Referral-based earnings
  • Business and content promotion tools

This multi-feature structure reflects Obinna’s belief that tech should work hard for its users, not the other way around.

Empowering the Digital Hustler

Prince Obinna understands hustle culture because he came from it. He knows what it means to do business with limited tools. That’s why Buzzy.ng is designed to empower side hustlers, market vendors, student entrepreneurs, and online sellers.

Whether it’s selling thrift fashion, organizing a paid webinar, or running a campus voting contest, He has created a digital home for these activities. Users don’t need to jump between apps. With Buzzy.ng, they can do everything from one dashboard.

Tech Leadership with Local Focus

Obinna also plays an active role in Nnewi’s emerging tech scene. He is known among his peers for being approachable, focused, and intentional. He collaborates with other developers, shares his knowledge, and encourages more young people to explore careers in tech.

His success with Buzzy.ng is already inspiring a wave of tech confidence in the region. It’s not uncommon to hear tech enthusiasts in Nnewi say, “If Obinna can do it here, so can we.”

Challenges and Vision

Building a startup in Nigeria comes with its challenges: limited funding, infrastructure gaps, internet issues, and more. Obinna didn’t shy away from these. Instead, he built with them in mind. Buzzy.ng is intentionally lightweight, easy to use on low-end phones, and constantly being improved based on user feedback.

Looking ahead, Obinna hopes to expand Buzzy.ng’s reach, introduce offline integrations for low-connectivity areas, and create job opportunities for young tech talents across Nigeria. But even as the platform grows, he remains committed to his roots.

As part of the platform’s future growth, Obinna and his team are also working on a digital in-app reward system called Edo Coins. Inspired by the Igbo word “Edo”, which means wealth or gold, the feature is designed to let users earn value as they engage with the app, from referrals and transactions to promotional activity. While not a cryptocurrency, Edo Coins reflect Obinna’s long-term vision of building an ecosystem that rewards digital hustle and puts value back into the hands of users.

A Face of Nigeria’s New Tech Era

In many ways, Prince Obinna represents the future of tech in Nigeria. He’s not just a founder, he’s a builder, a community voice, and a problem-solver. He represents the shift from flashy startups to sustainable, community-first digital platforms.

His work with Buzzy.ng is proof that big ideas can start small, and that with the right mindset, any city even one known for manufacturing can become a tech city.

Conclusion

Prince Obinna Muoma didn’t wait for the perfect opportunity. He created one. From Nnewi, he built Buzzy.ng, an app that makes tech work for everyday Nigerians. His story is still unfolding, but already, it’s a story of vision, impact, and purpose.

As Nnewi continues to rise in the tech world, Obinna stands as a symbol of what’s possible when passion meets action. And for anyone still wondering if good tech can come from the Southeast, he’s the answer,  loud and clear.
