Impact.

The most fascinating thing happened to me this weekend.

While trying to avoid the traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, I took the Sagamu route on my way to Osun.

Who would have thought Akara would become one of the biggest talking points of 2026? Thanks to the First Lady's comments, "Akara" has gone far beyond food 😀.

But one question keeps coming up: Would you advise your child to start an Akara business?

My answer surprised even me.

The issue isn't Akara. It's what we've chosen to believe about local businesses, and what it takes to build them at scale.

I shared my thoughts in my latest article.

What Moniepoint had done for the SME space is not talked about enough. So many merchants getting working capital loans without having to bring an arm and a leg.

Big shout out to @SycamoreNG as well.

💯 right. The El-Salvador President just told the world why terrorism is thriving in a country like Nigeria 🇳🇬. Just listen to his submission… something we all know but don’t want to address.

When you delay a payment , you’re actually affecting people’s lives.
Especially for work already done. I need the big companies to understand this. It’s so unfair.

We’re called students of English not English students. English students are of England origins while the other are learners of the language.
Difference btw lie and lay can be seen in how APC lie all the time and Nigerians lay all their hopes on PO to save us in 2027.

Nigerian fintech, @SycamoreNG, wants to build a deposit base that could exceed ₦40 billion ($29.13 million) as it expands from digital lending into banking and payments following its acquisition of a microfinance bank licence.

Lol, why would I delete it?

Back in 2020, because of the exceptional performance of Seyi Makinde during his first term, I said he had the qualities to be President. Fast forward to 2023, while he was contesting for reelection as governor, Peter Obi came on the scene and, based on his track record, I volunteered to be his campaign photographer pro bono because I genuinely believed he was fit for the job.

I didn’t stop at taking pictures. I went back to my polling unit on election Day, voted, bought snacks, and encouraged people to stay until every single vote was counted. Peter Obi won there too. For context, that polling unit is close to the PDP national secretariat in AkwaIbom, and Udom Emmanuel was the PDP campaign DG.

In 2025, I returned and continued my work as his photographer. So why exactly should I be ashamed that I saw visionary leadership in 2020 and wanted it at the national level?

Unlike some political jobbers who once praised Peter Obi and later switched up, I’ve never changed my stance on Seyi Makinde. I’ve never insulted or disrespected him.

I’m not just a supporter of Peter Obi, I work for and with him. He has the capacity to lead this country, and Seyi Makinde does too, based on proven track records.

At the end of the day, it’s better for productive and competent people to contest elections than to leave leadership in the hands of drug dealers, certificate forgers, and people with no traceable background.

I want a Nigeria that works and I’m happy the race is competitive, unlike the coronation some people were hoping to have.

I’m starting to see that the gospel isn’t about forcing yourself to stop sinning, but about loving God so deeply that sin loses its appeal.
