Seth Godin wrote my favourite books on marketing plus I have followed his blog religiously for a very long time now, so you can imagine what an honour it is to be hosting him on my Instagram - Live on Friday. 6pm (WAT) / 1pm (EST).

The best part of getting into Mandela Washington Fellowship is knowing that I do not meet the Age eligiblity requirement and thus fall within the category “. although EXCEPTIONAL applicants ages 21-24 will be considered”. #Grateful

It took only 1387 days & 189 videos to hit 1M channel views. My biggest lessons are .1. - No matter what niche you play in, if you keep going long enough & work hard enough, you will hit the big numbers too. #Consistency.

A few months ago, I did a TED talk @TEDTalks and it is now live. It was an honour of a lifetime to go on the TED stage and share some of my favourite stories featured on @theFCshow_ and to remind the one that Africa is not building. “A new reality has emerged, one where

I realized today that I do not actively want “small things”. I want money, I want to travel, I want to build and create evergreen stuff, I want to buy houses in different continents but that’s just it. No small stuff.

Sometime in 2021, I had a crazy idea to interview as many people as I could (founders, investors and talents) about the history, growth and key moments that has defined the Tech scene in Nigeria, and put it all together in one video. Many months, two private screenings (and

It doesn’t matter what your peers are doing better than you or even less than you. Focus on your own journey!. “The shortest distance is always a straight line” and that straight line, is simply you maintaining your lane instead of jumping onto others.

Things are rarely all of one thing and none of the other; more often, they are a confusing mishmash of beautiful and difficult, things you dream of and things you dread, things that make you grow and hurt like hell in the process.

2016 was such an interesting & defining year. I had graduated from Uni the year before & was waiting for NYSC. During the wait, I took every free digital marketing course I could find - Hubspot, Google Academy et al. I also signed up for and started getting $5-$15 gigs on fiverr.

Been 22 months since I hired for this role, and it's time again. I am now looking to hire a content marketer who can also double (20% of the time) as my E.A. It's a junior role, ideally for someone who has 2.5 years of experience or less. Your primary focus will be content.
I think I am ready to hire an assistant/intern. Someone with a knack for admin, content creation (research, writing & trendspotting), and an interest in growth and marketing.
