Fisayo Kolawole is one of the most brilliant leaders I have ever listened to (and I do not say this lightly). You see, ​nothing prepared us for the depth we were about to receive sitting with Fisayo Kolawole, Country Manager at Paystack. But we were ready.

​Nine years at Paystack, and the previous seven at Interswitch—a leader like Mr. Kolawole brings a rare level of high-grade wisdom, invaluable experience, and data-backed perspective.

​We weren't there for motivation. We were there for the uncomfortable truths leaders do not often say in public, for the insights you have to pay to hear, and for the perspectives that only time can realistically give.

Actress Yetunde Barnabas shared footage of her little son dragging the steering with her.

This is very risky because imagine trying to cross the road and then one person is doing this rubbish 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Didn't they all sign an undertaking to stop this?

BREAKING: Toluwanisings' mother's family members have come out to drag his wife for coming to Ikirun to accuse them of being behind the reason her late husband withdrew from taking care of his father while alive.

The family also alleged that his wife suggested that the pressure they mounted on her late husband could be the reason for his sudden death.

Now, the mother's family have resumed hostilities from where the father's family stopped.

In all of this, I would have expected DunmininunKingdom to stop setting up camera to invite late singer Toluwanisings' family because it's no longer looking nice.

All in all, I pray and hope his body is committed to mother earth today just as planned.

@grok @X what would it take for us to ensure we have accurate Yorùbá translations? Other languages have accurate translations. When it is our own, you'll start seeing Vietnamese. What do we have to do, ehn?

In those days, when an influencer was paid, it was so organic that majority of the people who contributed to the conversation didn't even know they were being part of paid marketing 😂

[Demotivational Speaker @OdunEweniyi]

it's not even hard to tell when people are being paid to promote something anymore

influencer marketing was supposed to feel organic, we're losing recipes

[Tolulope @Mr_Eto]

Much of the commentary on this subject has been mostly amẹbọ/gossip disguised as Christian concern or a demand for accountability.

I attended WIMBIZ’s 25th Annual Conference, which marked 25 years of championing women’s leadership in business, management and public service.

The future of Lagos will be stronger when more women have the opportunity to lead, build and shape it.

The discussions at WIMBIZ showcased the talent and achievements of African women, as well as the need to give more women the support and opportunities to grow their businesses, take up leaders and succeed on the global stage. In Lagos, we have made progress but there is still more to do to remove barriers and expand opportunities for women to thrive.

This is an important part of The Lagos PROMISE. Through our commitments to Opportunity and Inclusion, we want to create more pathways for women to participate in the economy, access opportunities and contribute to decisions that shape our future.

WIMBIZ has spent 25 years advancing this cause. We must build on that work and ensure that more women have the chance to rise and succeed.

Considering the circumstances under which "Nigeria" was formed, I don't know why none of the governments we've had have taken this advice seriously.

[Dr. Calafiori 🦇 @fimiletoks]

Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s prophetic warnings about Nigeria’s constitutional design are central to his political legacy.

Long before independence, he explicitly foresaw that a heavily centralized, unitary-style government in a multi-ethnic nation would inevitably plunge the country into economic stagnation and political and systemic instability.

In his foundational books, "Path to Nigerian Freedom" (1947) and "Thoughts on Nigerian Constitution" (1966), Chief Awolowo provided a comparative global analysis of multilingual and multi-ethnic states. He warned that enforcing a unitary system over deeply diverse populations would naturally breed systemic friction.

He famously observed that a centralized government wearing a federal mask would at its best "groan poignantly" and at its worst "suffer a nervous breakdown". He argued that centralizing resource control, forcing states to look to the center for monthly financial handouts, would destroy regional productivity.

He correctly anticipated that shifting from a system based on productivity and derivation to one based on population size and political leverage would paralyze local economies, breed mass corruption, and slow national development to a crawl.

Chief Awolowo viewed federalism not as an abstract political theory, but as an absolute requirement for survival. He firmly believed that national unity in Nigeria could never be coerced or built through slogans; it had to be structurally earned through a balanced division of power where no single group lived in fear of exclusion or domination.

Chief Awolowo advocated for a constitutional framework where boundaries were drawn logically around linguistic and cultural lines. He maintained that true stability could only be achieved if minority groups possessed their own autonomous, self-governing federal units rather than being swallowed up by an overbearing center.

Awolowo envisioned a secular constitutional framework where regional and cultural identities were preserved through decentralized governance. A highly decentralized, truly federalist Nigeria that actively protected ethnic minorities from regional domination. highly decentralized, truly federalist Nigeria that actively protected ethnic minorities from regional domination.

He was right 79 years ago; he is still right today.

I wish Nigeria had lawful apolitical historians. Historians who are bound by law to objectively record every single thing; decisions made by heads of states, positives, negatives, impact, results and repercussions. Everything.

2011 was actually the origin of APC.

The SW voted for Jonathan (he won 5/6 states).

And what they did they get in return? Nothing.

No VP, no senate president or deputy senate president, no speaker or deputy speaker, no important minister (the most senior Yoruba minister was… the minister of agriculture). They didn’t even get SGF, and the defence minister was a junior minister under Hailiru Mohammed.

The only substantive appointment was as chief of Defence staff, which was (or should be) a non-political appointment.

Of the 12 top positions in the country, Yorubas held none.

Worse still, there was absolutely zero hope that the trend wouldn’t continue in a Jonathan second term, or even in a world after Jonathan.

That’s why SW politicians decided to deal with Buhari where they were certain of a stronger stake.

Very few people talk about this.
