This year’s Founders Connect event is different because we’re building it around the exact honest, unfiltered, in-depth conversations we are known for.

Except this time, you are not just watching. You get to be in the room, ask the questions you have always wanted to ask, and hear directly from founders, operators, and leaders who are gonna shape what comes next.

Paul Onwuanibe is back, and this time, you get to ask him all your burning questions.

I’ll also be interviewing Deepankar Rustagi live.

It’s an intimate gathering, so seats are limited.

This is my official invite to you so get your tickets now 🎟️

The @worldbankgroup Youth Summit has never had a storytelling experience just for them. In 13 years, not once. Last Thursday, it did with @hatricksbytolani .

I sat in front of 10,000 delegates from 176 countries and talked about why storytelling matters. For years I was the one nobody turned to face. I stood behind the camera while presidents spoke, documenting CEOs and ministers and institution builders, learning their lessons the way you learn anything from the side of a room, quietly, without being asked.

Today’s rain in Lagos is another reminder that climate change is no longer a distant conversation, it’s already shaping our cities, flooding our streets, affecting transport, businesses, homes, and everyday life.

[Toluwalope Kayode @Chucklesofficia]

Real progress is when infrastructure improves everyday life.

A Waste Compactor Truck and Motor Grader are more than equipment. They represent cleaner communities, better roads, and stronger systems.

This is how cities move forward.

[Hon Abdulahi Sesan Olowa @Olowajaja]

I am pleased to announce the delivery of a brand new Waste Compactor Truck and a Motor Grader for continuous road maintenance and improved waste management services.

- My manifesto is ready. A roadmap that draws heavily on my party’s manifesto, it offers Lagos specific interventions for the next four years. It is a product of broad consultations with all stakeholders. Therefore, to firmly establish Lagos as Africa’s undisputed commercial capital, I will, upon election, focus my energies on four main areas over the next four years.

- First, service delivery: freeing up more money for services and maintaining the biggest infrastructure investment programme in West Africa, with continuing focus on rail, roads and water transportation to link our suburbs and decongest our streets.

- Second, job creation: policies to fast track the creation of jobs for our youths and support for our brightest entrepreneurs and industrializing our state.

- Third, knowledge and skills:  Enhancing our school and teaching for our young minds such that we build a workforce and an economy that will enable Lagos to compete in an increasingly competitive international marketplace.

- Fourth, health and well-being: ensuring that our people have access to basic health services, water and can live in a safe environment, reassured by a security system that works.

Dr Obafemi Kadri Hamzat @drobafemihamzat (Lagos APC Governorship Candidate)

On offloading versus delegation, I want to offer a reframe.
Delegation is not the problem. Delegation without support is. The moment you hand something over and walk away, without the clarity, the coaching, the relationship, the feedback loop, that is when it becomes offloading.

Not because you gave the work away, but because you gave it away without giving the person what they needed to carry it well.

Leadership is not about how much you personally produce. It is about how much your team can produce because of how well you have invested in them. As you grow, more and more of the work should move through other hands.
What stays with you is the thinking, the vision, the alignment, the culture.

Just make sure the person you’re delegating to has what they need to succeed.

Sustainability starts with you" doesn't mean recycle more.

It means: find your leverage point. Your voice. Your vote. Your career. Your neighborhood.

Agency over guilt. Every time.

[Toluwalope Kayode @Chucklesofficia]

The hottest parts of your city?

Fewest trees. Most pavement. Least shade.

That's not an accident. It's decades of underinvestment.

Cooling cities isn't just climate work. It's justice work.

[Toluwalope Kayode @Chucklesofficia]

@themotunglobal Uncle Demola is one of the best gifts I've received this year. 30 minutes call with him completely shifted how I think about work.

[Toluwalope Kayode @Chucklesofficia]

Most sustainability advice makes people feel guilty.

Guilt doesn't inspire action. It inspires avoidance.

Stop asking people to do more. Start asking: what's in their way?

I kept meeting people who cared about the planet but didn’t know where to start.
So I wrote Sustainability Starts With You.

Simple steps. Real life.

Most people think sustainability starts with policies.
It doesn’t. It starts with people.

I wrote Sustainability Starts With You for anyone who wants simple, practical climate action.

Climate action isn’t complicated.
It starts with small choices, made daily.

That’s why I wrote Sustainability Starts With You practical steps for real people, real life.

@AdewuyiRoseline If the marketplace is where people are, that’s exactly where light should be. Faith was never meant to stay indoors. The message doesn’t lose its value just because the venue changes.
