Picture this: techies ditching their screens to let loose and groove. Last December, OyaMakeWeGroove made this a reality again, welcoming over 500 guests—from ambitious tech founders and seasoned investors to corporate leaders, tech media, and key decision-makers.
Hosted annually in December by TechCircle’s founder, Oo Nwoye, OyaMakeWeGroove is more than a party—it's a gathering of Nigeria’s vibrant “techosystem,” as Oo aptly calls it.

Infinity and Beyond: Key Highlights
The eighth edition of OyaMakeWeGroove was themed “Infinity and Beyond,” symbolizing the boundless possibilities for growth, innovation, and collaboration within Africa’s diverse tech landscape—despite a challenging economy and rapidly evolving industry dynamics.
Familiar faces graced the event alongside prominent sponsors represented by their founders such as Ayo Shodipo of InfluxAI, Fola Olatunji of Sporting Lagos, Lanre Akinlagun of Drinks.ng, Odiong Akpan of Ubulu Africa, Tomiwa Aladekomo of Big Cabal, Harri Obi of Solana, David Adeola of Gbox, and Damilola Tiedi of Ventures Platform, among many others.
Our sponsors were a mix of high-growth companies and rising stars, all well-represented by their founders and team members. The event provided the perfect atmosphere for networking, deal-making, and collaboration. Sponsors included Flutterwave, Datamellon, Raenest, InfluxAI, GBox, Paystack, Google, Anchor, AWS, Busha, Big Cabal Media, CloudPlexo, Fez Delivery, Drinks.ng, Ventures Platform, Voltron Capital, Verto FX, Ubulu Africa, TLP Advisory, Solana, Qucoon, PipeOps, PalmPay, DotCV, and Waza. And yes, they had a blast—they said so themselves.
Unmatched Vibes and Unforgettable Moments
The energy was electric from the moment guests arrived. Drinks were served right at the entrance, setting the perfect mood for the night. Guests enjoyed endless rounds of delicious food—including crocodile and palm wine! The fun didn’t stop there—board games, VR, snooker, and more kept the vibes at 100. Check out the picture and videos to relive the magic.
More Than Just a Party
Beyond the music and dancing, OyaMakeWeGroove has become a powerful platform for forging meaningful partnerships. It’s a space where founders and investors signal their ambitions for the year ahead, where connections spark, deals close, and the stage set for future collaborations.
On the red carpet, hosted by the ever-elegant Nwanne Nwonwu, sponsors and guests shared their thoughts about the event and their excitement for what’s to come. Watch the Red Carpet interviews. As always, we can’t wait to see the success stories from this year’s event.
