YAY! So excited to share the news that the Junior Library Guild has selected KOROBA BOOK 1: CASE OF THE MISSING KOLO as a GOLD STANDARD Selection!
Cant wait for kids to dive into Korobá's beautiful world and read this exciting new mystery adventure!
I've said it many times before, and just as nobody was listening then, I know nobody is listening now, but I'll say it again because hey, why not?
Dear African organised private sector:
The reason that your operating environment is always trying to kill you, and you struggle to grow despite having a market of 1.4 billion of the world's youngest people, is because nearly all of the think tanks, policy research institutes, civil society organisations, and media in Africa are owned, funded, directed or controlled by external actors who are trying to kill you. Your growth and success are not in their interests.
If you have ambitions of becoming what you really ought to become, you must come together and fund African think tanks, policy research institutes, civil society organisations, and - especially - media. You need to do this with the full understanding that these things will never turn a direct profit for you, and they are investments with a long turnaround, but that if well done, they are the difference between remaining a village champion capitalist and getting Africa Finance Corporation to approve financing for a pipeline that raises your country's energy generation by 50,000MW and turns you into billionaires.
If you don't come together and do this, rest assured that white men are already doing it for you. Just that their think tanks are recommending that your countries should defund higher education and starve you of the human capital you need to succeed; their policy research institutes are publishing papers calling for the continent with 3.9 percent of global emissions to do "energy transition" to cut the emissions it doesn't have; their civil society organisations are focused on LGBTQ - which is famously Africa's greatest and most pressing issue; and their media is drip-feeding your market of 1.4 billion consumers with every type of misinformation and disinformation under the sun.
If you're happy with that, then never mind me. I'm just some Nigerian yapper who thinks too much for his own good, and we're all gonna die anyway. ✌🏾
WALKING IN THE SKY 🔥🔥
Red Bull is trying to get the Perfect Lagos Selfie with Jaan Roose from Sterling Towers, Marina Lagos to the Onome Rig.
Jaan Roose is an Estonian slack liner and Guinness World Record holder.
Slack Lining is a sport that can be a balance training, recreation and a moving meditation.
This project is to showcase the beauty of Lagos State and the Red Bull team is working together with Lagos State Government through the Lagos Safety Commission.
He is still warming up tho 🔥🔥
Stay Tuned for the Perfect Lagos Selfie.

"If you don't help bring about justice, then one day, you too may experience injustice."
Critical thinking and the power of your voice should be taught in schools. From basic to tertiary education.
But the powers that be won't like that now would they?

“For God For Country”
2 days ago, we were at Ajegunle Baptist church, Saki Oyo state , to sensitize the youths of this worship assembly on the projects allocated to their community in the 2023 FG Budget and how they can ensure implementation.

@nTRAPPreneur I luv seeing things like this. It gives me hope for the future of STEM innovation in Africa.
What can be done to improve?
1) Make it electric.
2) Reduce the size?
3) Improve/optimize steering and balance.
4) Build a racing league or aspirational lifestyle around it.
Bless up
