Random thoughts, serious conversations, and everything in between.

Yesterday at the Bank of Industry Annual Lecture, one of the things that really stayed with me was the conversation around just how much money is currently being invested in AI infrastructure, particularly data centres.

And my immediate reaction was: are we sure this is entirely a good thing?

I am very pro-technology, but I am also increasingly concerned about how much we are outsourcing to AI. There are things human beings should still know how to do. There are skills we should retain. And sometimes I wonder where we draw the line between technology making life easier and technology slowly making us incapable of doing things ourselves.

Then today, I saw something that reminded me why I am still firmly Team Technology for Good.

I came across a fashion design platform that allows you to select a dress pattern, change the skirt, bodice or sleeves, add pockets, make adjustments and then generate the pattern you need. It even gives you a step-by-step guide for constructing the garment.

I was SO impressed.

Immediately, I thought about Africa.

Think about the number of young people learning fashion design, especially those combining formal education with vocational training. Think about apprentices in smaller communities who may not have access to expensive fashion schools or advanced pattern-making resources.

A tool like this does not have to replace their skill. The tailor still has to understand fabric. They still have to cut. They still have to sew. They still have to understand fit and construction.

The technology simply gives them another tool.

And Nigeria, in particular, has an incredibly creative fashion industry. Our designers are talented, innovative and already creating work that travels far beyond our borders. Imagine what happens when we build technology that makes knowledge, techniques and tools more accessible to them.

That is the kind of AI investment that excites me.

Not technology for the sake of technology. Not replacing human beings simply because we can.

Technology that expands what human beings are capable of doing.

#Creativate well done🎉🎉🎉

"Work hard and people will notice." — A myth told to young lawyers everywhere.

For a long time, the legal profession taught us to let our work speak for itself. But in today’s world, you have to make it easier for people to see you.

From mastering a 30-second introduction to learning the hard lesson of reading the room before pitching, here are a few practical thoughts on how young lawyers can sell themselves with substance and timing.

The state will decide. It’s called dying “intestate”. In Nigerian law, the Children of the deceased and the wife take precedence. But if he was a religious person, sometimes the customs and traditions of his tribe can take precedence. For example, the Igiogbe Custom of the Bini people, the house of the deceased man must go to his first born son. Nigerian law recognized the custom in the case Idehen v Idehen. I hope that answered your question.
