Smart move! Very smart move. If you went to a boarding house and know how much this was a staple, you will understand the importance of these new style of packs in a carton.
See! I read for my exams and passed, but I will still acknowledge it as God did it for me—cos I see his hand in everything I do.
So yeah, that Christians say God did something, does not invalidate natural effort and process.
But this is not true. This happened after the Lekki Incident—there was no protest in Surulere at that point and a curfew was in force. Then, how is now a fall out of the
#ENDSARS
protest that was “hijacked by hoodlums” Jubril?
Don’t milk the carnage.
Yesterday, The Governor of Lagos State, Mr
@jidesanwoolu
visited the Surulere Mall, Adeniran Ogunsanya to see the extent of damage done to the mall during the fall out of the

protest which was hijacked by hoodlums.

I have made peace with the fact that I do not have all the answers when it comes to questions about God. However, I have experienced enough of him to stay put even when I do not understand.
I do not make my life about the things I do not know, when there are things I know.
I pray for the church in Afghanistan.
I pray for strength to stand and depth to grow.
I speak protection over lives and provision to survive these times.
They will know what to do, how to do it, when to do it and with whom to do it.
The church is marching on!

Hello
@inecnigeria
, when can we start registering for our voter’s card?
There is momentum now and we need to start early so that you can properly plan.
If you are Christian, when you start feeling like reading your Bible and Praying is a chore, abeg call out for help.
The standards have not changed and the slow fade can take years.
They scattered Nigeria.
They enjoyed the good times.
Went to the best schools.
Visa and all were good for them.
Came back to take control and stole everything possible.
Yet they will open their dirty mouths to blame the youths.
Una dey mad!
Yesterday I got a call from one of the startups I secretly admire to come and speak at their EOY retreat. It was hard to hide the excitement in my voice.
The goal is to discuss branding & Comms in the most lively way possible—chat and chill ☺️.
Omo!
@Risevest
will evolve into something unbelievably amazing and a reference point on the continent if they continue at this pace. They have been able to hack trust, are building a community of loyal people and understand how to manage communication.
When you can afford it, build out a complete brand & comms team: A senior brands person (usually C-Suite that can keep senior management in check on issues that concern branding, a brand designer, animator/Cinematographer/Illustrator, copywriter, digital marketer and Comm Mgr.
Some things are not magic but spurred by built systems. Thank you
@mreazi
for all you do with
@emPawaAfrica

More and more, I am excited how my bragging about you from the days of the hats and Instagram sponsored posts to now. Better person jam gem—
@joeboyofficial
Young Christians,
There is an amazing energetic atmosphere brewing. Stay alert, listen to God and take position.
Something new is birthing and I am here for it.
Omo! Communication is a big job If you are building a solid and sustainable brand. And yeah, comms is not marketing, sales and social media conversations (they are a part of it) but the total of how you carry people along in what you want to do (or is doing).
We need to start forming clusters.
Support systems for vulnerable youths so that we connect with them enough to ensure to take our side when it’s time to vote.
An ecosystem that ensures wealth transfer—including int’l jobs.
She was just grinning from chin to chin as I read out the lyrics to the rhythm.
Mission accomplished 😊.
When we got to one line like that, we just bursted into laughter. Guess where?
@Peruzzi_VIBES
on fire 🔥
So no Federal University was able to fully transition to e-learning during this pandemic?
Wow!
From the one that likes to sing Anthem everywhere to one forming Posh to the lions? None?
Even those that claim best tech University?
Okurr!
Looking at that
@SPARNigeria
comms—it’s a product of the intentional leadership from company. More like, the company said “This is what we have decided to do” and then the comms guys said “Hold my 🍻”.
Comms dey sweet when you dey work for company wey get clarity 🥺

@SholaOkodugha
radically changed my life. He gave me an image I can mirror and in a lot of ways I am grateful to God for the gift of having him as my pastor.

People call it luck, grace or chance. One power(Wheel of time) or Chaos (Witcher). But we trust in the saving grace of God to be an important part of the puzzle of our life of faith.
So, if you want more details, ask, but yeah, we know what we are saying.
Shalom.
For any young Christian who served in school (Fellowship)—this responsibility can be very intense if you are doing things right, don’t fall for that thought of “I don try, let me rest small” that comes when you graduate.
It’s a trap, a slow fade.
NYSC is a big deal for a lot of Nigerians.
And their reasons are very valid!
For some others, it’s nonsense and their reasons are also valid.
But allow people celebrate what they call wins—you no know their story.
I would still do a project topic on Femi Adesina for the next generation of Mass Communication Students.
“Journalism and Brown Envelope: An exposé on the media journey of a Nigerian press man”
This is why they structured the system to make people poor. You see how young people have brought out their own money to support the courses?
It’s one of the things they hope will not happen.
They choose who they support with B2Gs to be able to check the wealth transfer.
Oh! Yes, I did IVF or got treatment. While, you were sick, you took drugs and all, but I trust God for the success of the process.
I acknowledge him in all my ways. So, it's an understanding and not about invalidating or attributing the work of A to B.
I get a lot of questions around branding, communications and strategy. After a lot of questions on when I would do a class to share some learnings, I am bringing on my G (cos no be mentee again),
@PraisePhilemonn
for a close-knit session in November.
I do not think I have prepared for a class as much I have done for this. Not just because Uche is my guy, but cos understanding this will help to bring clarity to some existing comms team set up for startups in Nigeria--I judge a lot of things I do by my pinned tweet.
@akinalabi
I am usually against the quota system stuff! Merit should take the center stage—let people compete for their spot. There is the down side of you getting on the team and people looking at you like “You got here because of the slots”.
Would this help the team?🧐
Dear Content Creators,
No be everything go go viral.
No kill yourself.
Keep on working, building your tribe and pushing out relevant content. Sometimes, all it takes is one bang, and the whole collection will blow up. Loud noise stuff.
Walking Regards.
The last major Crusade I went for was a remote town outside Benin City (arrived, slept in the major church in the community and went into homes for Evangelism before ending the outreach with a crusade).
Today in Moro unlocked a new dimension for me.

Whatever Church you attend, don’t miss your major meetings this season. God is unleashing a new phase and many new things will be unlocking in different services.
Post this election, I am seeing how invested I am in ensuring Nigeria works. I have struggled to concentrate to do any other thing since Friday but thankfully Church helped me put some things in perspective yesterday.
My Cover Photo emphasises my stand 🇳🇬.
Always.
One of the fastest way to grow as a Christian, is to find a small community of people who are also committed to growth.
Make una dey charge unaselves together. I know because this has helped me.
My friend just said “If I see a SARS official wielding gun on the run and he stops me; I should tell him “...you have been banned” shey? Or how will it work?”
If you can, create a safe space for your guys, male friends/family to cry when they need to, talk to you on the most complex issues and even share the fears that they have.
The world is getting more complex for young male folks and we are all we have.
Be there for someone.
As much as possible, just be a good person.
Be kind.
Help, when you see people in need.
Don't abuse access.
Be reliable, transparent and trustworthy.
Be honourable.
Forgive. Avoid gossips.
The world needs more good people. Be one of them.
After a one hour + presentation today, the client exhaled in an fulfilling way and went— “I am impressed!”
Mehn! The word got a different meaning for me today. Crazy because this is arguably the team’s biggest project this year and we were stretched.
But we go again!
I spent sometime at
@SafeBoda_NGA
yesterday and was impressed by the level of efficiency from the team–a perfect blend of Silicon Valley flair and NURTW agidi. Little wonder they used to call

I just want to see more people win!
From the depth of my heart, that's all. I have found a way to make a business out of this, but the next step will be to see how to scale this.
It took months to set up call Centre with an official “Digital economy” event.
A national wide call Centre was set up in days. It’s not rocket science.
Let’s just make our country work.
I am an experienced Brand Communicator with a core focus on building the image people have in mind when they hear your name or see your logo.
I don't do marketing, PR or Growth but focus on creating content/system that gives a soul and consistent feel to execute these areas.

Your flyer shouldn't say everything.
Choose the most important points and make it easy to read. If you need to say more, do more than one or just do a short video/GIF.
Waking up in to this on my birthday shaped a lot of things for me and set the pace for this new year. The reality of the miracle that Redemption Camp is marked me.
I needed that picture.
