How Jeremiah’s The Bit Gazette is Becoming Launchpad for Nigerian Media Talent on Global Stage

As the world increasingly relies on remote work, The Bit Gazette, a leading crypto and Web3 publication, is pioneering a new model of operating on a global stage while being powered intentionally by Nigerian talent. We sat down with its founder, Jeremiah Musa, to explore how he is building not just a media platform, but a launchpad for the next generation of Nigerian media pioneers.

Jeremiah, your last interview touched on building a team in Nigeria. It seems this is now a core part of your identity. What’s the philosophy behind this “remote-first, Naija-best” model?

(Smiles) It’s simple, really. Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. I believed that the most insightful perspectives on how crypto and Web3 would impact emerging markets wouldn’t come from a boardroom in another continent, but from the people living that reality daily. So, we flipped the traditional model. Instead of hiring Dubai talent, where The Bit Gazette is headquartered, we went to the source of the story. We are proof that you can build a world-class, globally respected publication with a team that is deeply rooted in the Nigerian context.

It’s one thing to have a philosophy, another to see it in action. Can you share the impact this is having on your team?

The impact is the most rewarding part of this journey. This isn’t only about giving people jobs; it’s also about nurturing global voices. Don’t just take my word for it. The work they do and the growth they experience speaks for itself.

Ayuba Haruna, our Editor, puts it this way: “Working with The Bit Gazette over the past four months has been transformative. As editor, I’ve gained invaluable exposure to the global crypto terrain, deepening my understanding of market trends and blockchain innovation. This platform has been a true launchpad, sharpening my editorial skills while immersing me in one of the world’s most dynamic industries. It’s been an eye-opening experience that’s positioned me at the forefront of crypto journalism.”

That’s remarkable. What about the writers who are building their careers?

This is exactly where we see the transformation happen first-hand. We’re giving them a global portfolio and a byline that carries weight internationally.

Victor Ohagwasi shares his experience: “My time at The Bit Gazette has been nothing short of eye-opening. Stepping into the global crypto space through their platform helped me understand the industry beyond headlines and hype. The team challenges me, guides me, and gives me room to grow. My time here hasn’t only refined my writing but also gives me real exposure to the international crypto ecosystem and shapes my career trajectory.”

And Johnson Victor echoes that sentiment: “Working with The Bit Gazette has been a remarkable step up into the global crypto space. Contributing to its forward-thinking journalism exposed me to international industry voices, sharpened my understanding of Web3 trends and expanded my professional network beyond borders. The platform’s standard of excellence pushed me to grow, adapt, and engage with the evolving world of digital assets at a truly global scale.”

You’re also nurturing unique voices and creating opportunities for continuous learning.

Absolutely. We want our team to be lifelong learners. Their growth isn’t confined to our virtual newsroom.

Moses Edozie, for instance, illustrates this beautifully: “Writing for The Bit Gazette has given me a voice and opened the doors of my mind. I wanted two things: to write and to learn about crypto and the global conversations shaping it. TBG gives me both, plus access to national and international thinkers like Sania Arain and Adil Ashfaq. I’m writing this from a Journalism Fellowship class in Kano, Nigeria, because learning never ends. Thank you, TBG, for being my launchpad.”

Finally, what does this mean for Nigeria’s position in the global tech ecosystem?

A: It means we are no longer just consumers of information or a target market; we are active participants and shapers of the narrative. We are exporting intellectual capital.

As our writer David Okechukwu powerfully states: “This crypto powerhouse has catapulted me onto the global stage, connecting me with industry leaders and enthusiasts worldwide. Through their platform, I’ve dissected trends, decoded blockchain innovations, and amplified Africa’s voice in the crypto/fintech revolution. Grateful for the opportunity to ride this wave with The Bit Gazette!”

When you read that, you see the confidence, the expertise, the global reach. That is the future we’re building. One where a young person in Nigeria can sit at their desk and directly influence a global conversation. That’s the real power of this technology.

The story of The Bit Gazette is evolving. It began as a mission to tell a more inclusive story about crypto. Now, it’s also the story of how Nigerian talent, once overlooked by the international media industry, is being strategically positioned to lead it.
