A decade ago, I imagined taking The Future Awards Africa to the grassroots through TFAAi. Last year, I handed that vision to RED Group CEO Ayodeji Razaq. This year, it has become a movement.
TFAAi Port Harcourt has launched. Abia, Oyo and Kano are next.
So proud. #MadeForAfrica

Today, it feels surreal to have been announced as a member of the The Future Awards Africa (Independent) Oyo State Jury, alongside the exceptional Kemi Irinoye and Charles Alade.
There are moments in life that quietly remind you how far you’ve come.
Years ago, I admired The Future Awards Africa from a distance. It was the platform that celebrated young Africans who were redefining excellence, innovation, and leadership. Like many others, I looked forward to the announcements, inspired by the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
This is more than an appointment; it is a responsibility. To help identify and recognize the next generation of creatives, innovators, and changemakers in Oyo State for one of Africa’s most respected and credible awards is an honour I do not take lightly.
To everyone who has trusted my judgment, supported my journey, and believed in my commitment to excellence, thank you. I look forward to serving with integrity and celebrating the incredible talent our state continues to produce.

Well, your boy won 🏆
I won The Future Awards Africa Independent Prize for Technology, Rivers State.
I have been thinking about this since I saw the email and announcement.
Because I don't think I ever really decided that “technology” was going to become this huge part of my life.
I just really really liked building things.
Then I liked writing about the things I was building.
Then teaching them.
Then contributing to open source.
Then maintaining open source.
Then building products.
Then building tools to help other people build products.
And somehow I have spent the better part of my adult life doing exactly that
There have been some really good years.
There have also been plenty of things I built that nobody cared about, ideas that didn't work, money lost, bugs at ungodly hours and moments where I wondered what exactly I was doing with myself.
But I kept building.
So having that body of work recognised with The Future Awards Africa Independent Prize for Technology feels really, really good.
And funny enough, I still feel like I am just getting started.
I have increasingly become obsessed with one question:
What can we build from Africa?
Not just consume.
Not just work for.
Build.
Our own products. Our own infrastructure. Our own technology companies. Our own open source. And things good enough that the rest of the world wants them too.
I want to spend the next part of my life finding out just how far we can take that.
For today though...
I won an award
Thank you, The Future Awards Africa Independent.
Onwards 🚀
From nomination to winner. 🏆
