Music producer and tech entrepreneur Don Jazzy has shared a warm birthday message to his Bammby Dating App co-founder, Opata Efungwu, popularly known as Potrix.
The message was posted on Instagram, where Don Jazzy asked fans to send prayers and good wishes to his partner.
In the post, he wrote: “Shout out to @potrix102 my @bammby.dating Co Founder. It’s his birthday today. Guys pls help me say a prayer for him and wish him a very happy birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO. More blessings.”
The birthday shout-out comes at a time when Bammby has quietly hit a notable milestone in the tech space. The dating app launched just a year ago has already grown to over 300,000 users, putting it among the fastest-growing relationship platforms in Nigeria.
Over the past months, Don Jazzy has openly expressed confidence in the product. In previous videos, he remarked that “Bammby’s only problem is that the entire Nigeria will soon be on it,” a playful way of highlighting the app’s rapid adoption and rising popularity among young people.
Bammby has positioned itself as a platform built on security, authenticity, and intentional matching a direction the founders say is deliberate in a digital world filled with catfishing and online scams. The founders have repeatedly emphasized that this approach is intentional, especially in a digital environment where catfishing and online scams are becoming more common. The app maintains strict anti-catfishing measures and a clear zero-tolerance stance on love scams, while its smart behavioural matching system studies user patterns to connect people who are more likely to be compatible, rather than pairing users at random. This emphasis on safety and meaningful interaction has played a major role in the app’s steady growth and its rising credibility among young Africans.
Opata Efungwu, popularly known as Potrix, is widely regarded as the technical backbone of the project. He has spent years building software solutions for companies across different industries, and beyond Bammby he leads a technology firm involved in mobile apps, enterprise platforms, e-commerce systems and other digital products. Within the Bammby ecosystem, those familiar with the project often describe him as the “brains in the background,” while Don Jazzy serves as the public-facing figure of the brand. Together, the pair have formed a partnership that blends entertainment influence with strong engineering capability.
The birthday message from Don Jazzy reflects not only a personal gesture but also the collaborative spirit behind the app and the progress it has made within its first year. With over 300,000 users already on the platform and a growing community of supporters, Bammby is gradually positioning itself as one of Nigeria’s notable tech products, driven by founders who understand both culture and technology. As Don Jazzy’s post continues to gain traction online,
fans have been sending in their wishes to Potrix, many of them highlighting the work he and Don Jazzy have done together in shaping the platform.
