Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode.
Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded.
No more “turn left after the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are.
After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide.

Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map.
My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister @bosuntijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible.
Thank you to the NIPOST @nipostngn family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians.

Do NOT use this scheme.
A 97.5% mortgage at 6% interest. What could possibly go wrong?
You’re being encouraged to buy an overpriced new build with almost no equity, while housebuilders get richer.
Ask yourself one simple question:
Why isn’t this being offered on existing homes?
The UK property market is flat. Instead of addressing the real problems stamp duty, affordability, supply and everything else the government would rather dress it up with another scheme designed to stimulate demand and prop up prices.
This benefits the government and housebuilders far more than it benefits you.
Don’t rush into buying a house simply because a scheme makes it seem easier. You’ll be stuck for a long time and owning a house comes with significant financial pressure beyond the monthly payments.
Save a 10/20% deposit. Buy when YOU are financially ready.
This doesn’t fix the UK property market.
Patiently waiting for the book "Under The Brown Rusted Roofs" by Abimbola Adunni Adelakun to be made into a movie.
The one book that had me laughing at the comedy like I was seeing a movie.
A brilliant piece of literature, that one.
Just had the creepiest scam ever happen 20 minutes ago.
I got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas.
Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla. Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about gas I would have fallen for it.
I entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, I was so confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake. The responses were too fast for ai, I think it was a voice filter. I wish I had thought to record it.
The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones, do verbal passwords with your kids.
Bit taken aback
Not to add to the discourse, but…
It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’
You CANNOT go back in time and change the decisions you took. Forgive yourself, move on, be your best version. You're alive and until death all defeat is psychological.
Rebuild.
I found a prayer in Micah 7:7 this morning. Lord, concerning the things in my life that I cannot fix, force, or figure out, teach me to stay with You until I see what You will do. When everything around me gives me reasons to give up, keep my heart settled enough to wait for You to make things right. Let me not run ahead of You because I am tired of waiting, or take matters into my own hands because I cannot see how You will work it out. Give me the grace to say, “I will wait for the God of my salvation,” even when the waiting is uncomfortable. Let me trust that You hear me, even when the answer has not yet come. And when You finally turn this thing around, let me remember that You were worth waiting for.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.”
My Village People, my sophomore album, Cocoa Hue, will be out August 28
Pre-save link is in my bio 🗿✨🍫
Why is the album called Cocoa Hue.
It’s simple. I want you to move.
I want you to move differently. Move with confidence. Move with joy. Move away from sadness. Move with radiance.
I want you to move with your feet, your hips, your body, your spirit and your soul.
I want you to feel every flavour and savour it.
I want the music to find the parts of you that words sometimes cannot reach.
The part that wants to dance.
The part that wants to heal.
The part that wants to love again.
The part that wants to feel beautiful/handsome, alive and completely present.
I built the Nigerian Literature Archive for the books many of us grew up reading and the ones we may have forgotten.
From Ige Adubi to Ralia the Sugar Girl, Eze Goes to School and more, it’s a small way to preserve and rediscover Nigerian literature.

A grammar tip:
When choosing between “and me” or “and I” in a sentence, choose the one that works if you drop the other person.
“My sister and I went to the store,” becomes, “I went to the store,” which is correct.
“My sister and me went to the store,” becomes, “Me went to the store,” which is incorrect.
Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle.
The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.
