Last week, I launched Marukah; a literary studio rooted in care and inspired by the power of stories.
Writing changed my life. Made me a stronger, clearer version of myself.
I want to offer that to so many more people. Visit https://t.co/ovKuRVFe5C! Your story matters 🖤
Hello! I'm in the middle of finalising our grant process for TAAF this year and it's my first time with an international grant body and I could really use some help around the financial language (fiscal sponsor, audits etc) as I'm a bit confused! Looking for someone to help pls!
In 2017, I traveled to China to source automated agricultural equipment for a commercial farming project. My focus was on battery cages, feed milling systems, and silos.
After a week of visiting different Manufacturers and Factories I couldn’t find a Battery Cage System that wasn’t Power dependent- They entire world was using Fully Automated Battery Cage System.
One young CEO became genuinely frustrated with me when I told him-His Automated Battery Cages (with sensors and temperature regulators) wouldn’t work for me because I didn’t have Electricity.
When I explained that reliable electricity was not available in Nigeria, he thought I was exaggerating. To him, uninterrupted power was such a basic requirement for business that the absence of it seemed impossible.
He asked, “How do Survive”? So I showed him on Baidu and he genuinely felt sorry for me.
Even my translator, Cherry, struggled to understand what I meant. We eventually had to research it online before she accepted that a country of over 200 million people could have such a fundamental infrastructure gap.
After further investigation, she helped us locate a manufacturer in Henan Province that produced semi-automated systems specifically for African markets—equipment designed to operate despite unreliable power supply.
Nine years later, the situation remains largely unchanged.
I still do not have Electricity in any farm I own or have helped develop.

I’m still learning as I navigate software as a PM with a more traditional background and this week I spoke about some of the things I am learning in software. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Maximizing all the avenues for wealth creation my former company provided has actually saved me immensely since my resignation.
Read the staff guide and max out everything they offer. Better is these deductions are made before it touches your account.
Ford understood this. he doubled wages and shortened the work week… not just out of generosity, but strategy.
give people money AND time, and they’ll need somewhere to go and a way to get there.
he piloted market creation with his own employees.

Made this tweet while writing to an airline requesting for more concessions on my requested refund and they gave me a full refund.
😭😭. Now I wait for the refund to my account.
I have been unemployed for 14 months now and it has shifted my view on a few things.
I have definitely become less scared of no. It still packs a punch when I get a rejection but it doesn’t stop me from trying.

- I moved my pension from RSA Fund II to Fund I earlier this year and I can already see the difference.
- Another thing i did was voluntary contributions, to reduce the tax amount I give to Tinubu and SanwoOlu.
