FRIDAY TIP Recently, over dinner with the Founder of MeOut Group, I asked him about the early days. The real beginning. moments when cash flow was tight… when doubt crept in… those head-in-hands moments. His honesty was not only refreshing, but reassuring.

This past weekend, I shared a thought inspired by one of my all-time favorite animated movies, The Lion King. Mufasa tells Simba: “While others think of what they can take, a great leader thinks of what he can give.” - This line has stayed with me! Are you a Giver or Taker?

Hey everyone, It’s a big year, isn’t it?! As many of you know, I observe a social media fast every January. I had a very productive January, and I’ll share more of those insights in the coming weeks. For now, I simply want to wish you a focused, fruitful, and impactful 2026.

Highlight from my contribution to the AACE Nigeria Annual Meeting on “The Role of Cost Engineers in a Digital Economy.” Cost engineering must evolve; For every ₦1 saved, we should ask: • How many kWh conserved? • How much emission avoided? • How much waste reduced?

2010–2020 was the decade of learning how to code in Nigeria. But 2025–2035? Startups must learn Corporate Governance Are Nigerian accelerators and incubators failing startups by teaching only product and pitch skills? Should “How to Govern Your Startup” be an added topic?

In Nigeria’s fast-moving tech space, “transparency” is still treated like an optional extra something you dust off only when an investor demands it. But here’s the truth: in the digital economy, transparency is no longer just a compliance requirement. It’s a growth accelerator!

I’m grateful for the opportunity to join @palmvalleyng in their CSR initiative in distributing wheelchairs and tricycles to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to foster greater social inclusion. Inclusion isn’t charity - it’s smart economics. #SocialInclusion @greyhobb
