I am thrilled to embark on this new chapter as Special Assistant to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy.
“This will be the last time I address you from this dais as the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives. It has been the honour of my life to serve our beloved country from this honourable House.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, convened an emergency session of the House earlier today, marking a significant departure from the norm as it is the first Sunday sitting of the 9th Assembly.
It is said that a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
These words unravel with true meaning when you examine the journey of a creative like no other -

“E Parliament “
Ever since I was commissioned to document FGB, one thing for sure that I have realized is his love for technology. His inclination in technology made him change the system in which bills are passed.

in Lagos, a haven for every creative soul. A reminder that the creative industry is the heartbeat of innovation and self-expression.
As FGB flips through his phone during a meeting earlier in the week,
a popular quote comes to mind ; “life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see and be.”
“Our struggle is not against blazing guns and mortars that fall from the sky, yet our conditions are not any less dire. Let no one be in any doubt that we are determined to triumph in this cause, and our determination to survive remains absolute.”

I’m sorry to intrude but I don’t think this is fair at all. Your hate for her principal/subject should not translate to unfairly tearing down her creative effort.
You’re a creative. I’m sure you understand this.
By the way , I hope you all know we have people that “graduated “ from “The Hat Academy” and honest truth is you can’t learn from “the hat” and you won’t be good .
I’ve long taken a tour of this space before time began and the ease i experience now is on the strength of the perfect tour guide i’ve. This is the third week of the opening of the House Of Representatives modified chamber and the deputy speaker

A week ago, I was a Panelist at the
@lens4good
Storyteller’s Conference in Lagos. A gathering of the finest and most impactful storytellers in Nigeria.
The conversation centered around how we can use storytelling in creating a new narrative for Nigeria.
This is not just a tick in a calendar, it is a duty for posterity. That our kids may know that, truly, the labour of all our heroes past are not in vain.
