On the 25th & 26th of March, we had the honour of working as the Production/Stage Managers for Access Bank's 2026 International Women's Day Conference.
It was @Q21Solutions execution.
We ensured technical setup was on time & to our high standard. We stage managed the event.
For the 5th year in a row, we handled Production planning & Management of Fuji Vibrations for @fujiopera on behalf of @eclipseliveafr
Fuji is such a special music genre, & we are proud of our work consistently producing this concert.
Spot @thejidetaiwo, our host for the event.
Last weekend my team @TitaniumngEvent and I produced Vervelife 8.0. An exercise and Afterparty event for fitness and entertainment.
From setup to execution, we ensured the technical aspect was well put together and executed to perfection.
We were in Awka, Anambra state with our client Q21solutions for the Tiger Street Football tryouts session.
We were tasked with ensuring all Production elements came together seamlessly and the event flowed from point A to Z.

The secret to a flawless event? It all starts with Production planning! Let's unveil the planning stage, the FIRST of 7 essential steps a Production Manager takes.
"Is it not just to tell people what to do?"
No.
Event Production also has paperwork. Let me tell you some
1. Production plan
2. Production schedule
3. Production event flow
4. Rehearsal schedule
5. Site map
6. Lighting & Sound Plot
7. Tech Rider revert
9. Agreements & contracts
Dear Artists,
You don't actually need your 5 or 6 homeboys to follow you to that event or onto the stage.
They are rude to Stage Managers, annoy stage crew & greenroom staff, cost Promoters more money and are generally a nuisance.

Thank you

Dear Talent bookers/Agents/Managers,

The Basics of Event budgeting and financial management.
1. Setting clear financial goals
2. Estimate costs
3. Revenue projections
4. Create a detailed budget plan
5. Monitor and control the execution of the budget.
As a Production person, you fight with your vendors and make up again. I was setting up an event in Landmark.
My diesel guy was to deliver 2000 litres at 2pm that day.
About 10am he called to let me know he was on Water Corporation Road & would be with me shortly.
@hammanju@Chrisbamidele Some what about those of us from other South West states that are not Lagosians by origin?
Does this your story apply to us too? Or will it apply to us when you find something to upset you?
Dear @cenbank and @GodwinIEmefiele, it's been several weeks since Nigerians have been subjected to your poorly conceived currency change process and attempt to force the entire nation to adopt the cashless policy.
Legacy has seen with great concern the destruction of a historical monument that has been started at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS). We understand that this important property has been sold to a private investor, however, TBS it is a listed building:
