Lately, I’ve been applying for some growth and marketing roles. Secured a few.

Then, I noticed a pattern.

Every single time I reach out, I get an immediate audience or a few days later with the founders or a core team members.

Why?

Because I’m really good at what I do. But more importantly, because I know exactly what to say to them and how to say it to make them listen. My first message is like a test and I pass it almost every time.

And it got me thinking about a truth in this industry:

If you call yourself a growth or marketing strategist, but you can’t even market yourself to get a seat at the table , how on earth is a client supposed to trust you to market their business?

Your career, your personal brand and outreach is your proof of work.

If you can’t get the attention of a founder in a crowded inbox , you won’t hook their target audience in a crowded market .

Treat yourself like the prize. Figure out the project pain points , speak directly to that problem and watch how fast they open the door for you.

If you can’t market yourself, you can’t market them.

@adewumihaas001 I think brand pages cannot grow in isolation, you have to combine some personal or human element to it; a strong personal brand - founder, employees, influencers, UGC content, males people want to follow.

When they now see value? Ahh! You've won them.

My thoughts.

[Oluwáṣeun @OD_Lawal]

@adewumihaas001 @Saamu_Eleja Run the ad via Instagram web app and select ‘visit your profile’ as the goal of the campaign.

@adewumihaas001 Depends on the niche
But ads would do good numbers with a carousel post that provides value

7. The tone of your tweet conveyed unusual hostility and contempt towards Mr. Peter Obi.

Are Nigerians to conclude that this treatment is politically motivated and reflective of a broader strategy to weaken a major opposition contender ahead of the next general election?

8. You further threatened to direct FAAN to take unspecified action against Mr. Obi.

Are you the accuser, the investigator, the judge, and the executioner in the same matter?

As Minister of Aviation, are you now positioning yourself as the law itself?

Mr Keyamo, are you the Law?

Conclusion

This issue goes far beyond a clamped vehicle. It concerns equal treatment under the law, the security of opposition figures, the neutrality of state institutions, and the standards expected in a constitutional democracy.

Nigerians deserve answers to these questions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF AVIATION, MR. FESTUS KEYAMO

Contrary to your account of events surrounding Mr. Peter Obi’s transit through the Abuja Airport on Saturday, July 4, it has become necessary to set the record straight.

Mr. Peter Obi does not have any police or civil defence personnel attached to him in Abuja, despite being entitled to VVIP protection by virtue of his status as a leading opposition figure in Nigeria. He certainly does not have a police officer serving as his driver. Your reference to a “police driver” appears to have been based on the assumption that he enjoys the level of security protection ordinarily accorded to someone of his standing. He does not.

Mr. Obi travels through multiple airports across Nigeria well over a dozen times every week. As someone who frequently travels with him, I have personally witnessed repeated instances of unusual discourtesy directed at him by some government personnel.

From your own account of events, it is evident that the incident Mr. Obi referred to during his interview occurred on a different date and at a different airport from the one referenced in your tweet.

However, let me address the incident you chose to publicise.

KEY CLARIFICATIONS

1. The incident you posted is entirely different from the one Mr. Peter Obi narrated in his interview. In that interview, he clearly stated: “I was there…” In the incident contained in your tweet, he was not present.

If we now have at least two separate incidents in which vehicles associated with Mr. Obi were clamped under questionable circumstances, does this not suggest a pattern of targeting an individual simply because of who he is?

2. The entire sequence of events you referenced, from arrival to the eventual clamping of the vehicle, lasted approximately five minutes.

At most airports around the world, including major international airports, a ten-minute drop-off window is generally considered acceptable. Where, then, did the claim of 30 minutes originate?

Do you not agree that half-truths can sometimes be more misleading than outright falsehoods?

3. Is it not a fact that several other vehicles were in the vicinity of Mr. Obi’s vehicle without attracting similar attention from airport officials? Indeed, some of those vehicles had been parked there long before Mr. Obi’s vehicle arrived, yet none was clamped.

4. I have personally been at the airport on several occasions when serving and former government officials arrived in large convoys, blocked access routes, and caused considerable inconvenience to the travelling public, without any agency of government taking similar action.

5. Under your watch, there have been other high-profile airport incidents, including:

The disruption involving Senator Adams Oshiomhole and airline staff.

The incident involving Mr. Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1), a known associate of the President, who allegedly attempted to prevent an aircraft from departing.

You are undoubtedly aware of both incidents.

Where was this same enthusiasm to instigate public outrage and issue official condemnations? Was CCTV footage from those incidents also released, or was the CCTV system only activated when it involved Mr. Peter Obi?

6. Can the publication of CCTV footage detailing Mr. Peter Obi’s movements on your personal social media platform be considered a serious breach of his personal security?

Your footage established no wrongdoing. Instead, you further exposed the movements of a leading opposition figure whose security concerns are already significant.

Would you release equivalent CCTV footage of other presidential candidates of Mr. Obi’s standing who travel in private and presidential aircraft funded by taxpayers?

Should a leading presidential candidate not be accorded security protocols consistent with democratic best practices?

The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji

Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still, when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.

Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinguished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was any direct contact made with him. Instead, they invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.

As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman, Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More importantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, “Sorry, we made a mistake.”

The public outcry concerning the state’s handling of Professor Aghaji’s case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical “brain drain” but also severely damage the country’s already precarious healthcare infrastructure.

This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.

The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO

We captured this beautiful moment as Egejurum Onyedikachi and Don-Anele Munachimso arrived at Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, yesterday to a true hero's welcome.

These are not football stars. They are not musicians. They are not politicians.

They are children.

Children who became the world's best in Mathematics in the Primary and Senior categories. Don-Anele Munachimso is also the world's best in Science.

The last literary figures from the South East to receive this kind of heroic public welcome were Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Watching our brightest young minds being celebrated like national heroes gives me hope.

For too long, we have celebrated almost everything except academic excellence.

That is beginning to change.

Education is reclaiming its rightful place in our society, and a generation of children is growing up believing that knowledge, hard work and excellence deserve standing ovations too.

This is bigger than two children.

This is the beginning of a movement.
