I am thrilled and honoured to be a panelist at HIT Conference 3.0 by The Phoenix Group.

We’ll be talking about how tourism grows when communities, local businesses, and digital systems work together. I look forward to contributing to the conversations.

Sometimes, trust the detour. What you missed now might have been for your protection. Pray for discernment, to recognise and understand the signs of the times.

[🎙OLUOMO OF DERBY 🇳🇬 🇬🇧🇬🇭 🇿🇼 @Oluomoofderby]

We honestly have a serious problem within the Nigerian community here in the UK, and I think it’s time we started having this conversation openly.

One thing I have noticed is that, compared to women from some other African communities, many Nigerian women seem less willing to share household bills and financial responsibilities with their partners, despite the fact that we all understand how expensive life is in the UK and how the system works here.

Since 2022, I have attended over 34 burials, and heartbreakingly, about 90% of those who passed away were men. Even more worrying, approximately 50% of them were under the age of 40.

I won’t say much more than that, but gentlemen, please hear this: Do not put yourselves under unnecessary financial or emotional pressure trying to satisfy a woman or maintain a lifestyle you cannot comfortably afford.

Marriage and relationships should be partnerships, not one-sided financial responsibilities. You should be able to support each other, share responsibilities and build together.

Your health, peace of mind and life are far more valuable than trying to impress anyone.

Don’t destroy yourself financially or physically trying to meet expectations that should never rest on your shoulders alone.

At the end of the day, you will be the one who pays the price.

a lot of people speak with the kind of confidence you can only get by never having done or having to do the work

They knew exactly where to go… It takes a village, and seems like these kids have a good village.

[Uchenna. @Favour_Ogazi]

Sometimes the first person in a family to earn significantly more is not building wealth at all. They are financing everyone else's transition from survival to stability. It is a responsibility that deserves more nuanced conversations.

Someone online said Ondo is not Yoruba because we speak several dialects. I told the person that the Owa of Idanre still holds Oduduwa’s famous crown, “Ade Ide,” simply the Brass Crown.

While the Ooni of Ife holds the ancestral Ade Aare, the Owa of Idanre holds the physical custody of Oduduwa’s ancestral Adé Idẹ (Brass Crown).

Olofin Aremitan found Idanre, and Idanre still worships Olofin.

That is why the Ooni was the first to congratulate our new Owa of Idanre.

Long live Abaiye, Owa Agbogbo maja.

God bless Idanre, Yoruba Land, Ondo State, and Nigeria.

Besides complaining, how do we actually go about fixing Nigeria?

[Tosho @richtosho]

If you are looking to travel the world for work, conferences, competitions, summits, volunteering, workshops, education, and more across Pakistan, Nigeria, SA, UAE, Nepal, India, Ghana, the UK, the US, and beyond.

I spent hours during the weekend finding companies abroad that are actively hiring and funding and compiled them into one sheet.

Application links, eligibility criteria have been added, so all you have to do is review the sheet and apply.

Friendship is not something I want to pursue randomly or simply because one person expressed interest. A genuine one needs alignment and willingness to show up. It’s not about wanting to be friends; do you have capacity & willingness to build and sustain a meaningful connection.

[Leader @RozayPopping]

I'll try to put this into words as best I can. I can't speak for all parents, but from the few I know, I sometimes wish parents did more to prepare their children for the harsh realities of the world.

My father taught me to be fair and just in all my dealings. He never said it outright, but he implied that the world was a fair place and that the values he gave me would be returned in kind. That was the world many of us grew up believing in. Then you step out into it and discover that those values were meant to guide your own conduct, not to guarantee how others would treat you. You learn that the world can be fair one moment and unfair the next. You learn that it can be cruel, and without cause.

That realisation can shake you deeply. It can make you question everything you were taught and everything you thought you knew.

Perhaps I'm being unfair to parents. How else could they have shown us this cruel side of the world? Maybe those principles were never meant to shield us from it. Maybe they were the very tools we needed to find our way through it. - Rozay’s Musing 💭

God really does restore. He makes up for times and seasons you thought you lost
He gives beauty for ashes.
Makes all things beautiful in its time 🤍

[oluwatise @maintishe]

Fuck African world leaders fr. Japa culture steals dignity as well. You have to trade your dignity and identity for stable income, basic necessities, human rights, education and healthcare. Just so you buy bags for foreign babes, cars and spoil your kids while your people have to become second class human beings in another man’s land. you steal family gatherings, relationships, memories and a chance at a legacy for them. fuck western imperialism as well.

[Cogito, Ergo Sum @ItsMeGitau]

This is something I used to ask myself until I realised that we live in a low-trust society.

It's often easier to scam Westerners precisely because they come from high-trust societies, and we mistake that trust for stupidity.

Take the US, for example. You can print your own check, deposit a check by simply taking a picture with your banking app, and even start using some of the money before the check has fully cleared. You don't even have to visit a bank.

Compare that with most parts of Africa, where something as simple as forgetting your banking app password can mean physically visiting a bank branch with all your identification documents.

We have become so accustomed to suspicion and distrust that we mistake our cunningness for intelligence and other people's trust for foolishness.

We think we are smarter because we are harder to fool, without realising that we have built societies where nobody trusts anybody.

[Achalugo @_MsLinda]

The Nigerian government, and Nigerians generally, need to start taking aesthetics a lot more seriously.

Look at the backdrop of the National Theatre. That beautiful lake, the bridge and the Blue Line running across it. It is such a stunning composition. It should be a defining visual of Lagos, an iconic postcard that people deliberately visit to photograph, much like the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

But you get there and the bushes around the lake are overgrown and there is litter everywhere.

Aesthetic is not frivolity. So many countries/cities have used aesthetic to create and attract massive economic opportunities.

The ROI on keeping your mouth shut is extremely high.

Don’t let naysayers distract you. If you’re on to something, trust your instincts and trust the process.
