A Halloween Party... in Nigeria? But Who Are We Really? It’s funny, almost surreal, but it got me thinking. Sure, I get the excitement around trying out something different, something that feels straight out of Western culture. But every time we lean further into this, I wonder: Are we losing pieces of who we are? This isn’t about being “anti” any culture; it’s about celebrating our own. We’re in a time where people all over the world are curious about Africa’s authenticity, about our traditions, cultures, and our way of seeing the world. Meanwhile, we’re sometimes the ones drifting toward theirs. Halloween, summer, Thanksgiving… all fun, sure, but at what point does it blur our own cultural lines? That said, would I attend the party? Probably, for the experience. But it leaves me asking the bigger questions: Who is Africa, and are we losing our way? Are we becoming more western & less... you know... Us. There’s beauty in the unknown, in the spontaneity of our environment and how it shapes us. And that's what Africa is & represents, at least to me.

We've had you waiting all week long for this.... So here goes. Have you ever heard that people buy from people they know, like, and trust? Is that true. What was the last thing you bought from someone you know, like, and trust. OR, did you make a purchase based on your need, not on relationship? On the opposite side; how do you make your self known, liked, and trusted so that people will purchase goods and services from you? How do you create the atmosphere of being known, liked, and trusted? We are going to spend the month of March diving into both sides of this coin. We will start today by looking into the make yourself known, liked, and trusted side of the coin. Look for our first post of helpful information tomorrow (March 2nd) You do not want to miss this conversation! #herewego #knowliketrust #creatingrelationships #genuine #authentic

How's your LinkedIn journey been? Last night I had an awesome session learning from Eno-obong Akpan as she spoke on LinkedIn Optimization program organised by Techies on LinkedIn. It was an expository session. She spoke mainly on "The type of content to create on LinkedIn". They include: 📍 Your projects : It could be any project you are working on. You can talk about it before you begin, while carrying out the project and also talk about the conclusion of the project. 📍 How to do things you have knowledge of It could be - how to respond to irate customers, how to answer the phone properly as a customer support agent, how to write a cover letter etc. 📍 Industry trends : Latest updates in your industry. 📍 Your achievements : Share your personal stories, a course you just concluded, personal goals that you achieved, a new certification etc. 📍Engaging contents: These could be texts, videos, presentations or carousels. 💜 She also emphasized on the importance of story telling. Story telling makes your content less boring to people. I'm sure going to make the best use of what I have learnt so far. The program is still on. It's free. Tomorrow, Precious Obo will be teaching "How to land clients on LinkedIn". I can't wait for today's session. You can join using the link below. See you there.

Celebrating the grit and unbending spirit of every Nigerian out there, keeping hope alive in the face of daunting challenges and obstacles. This has been our identity - always finding reasons to smile, and creating our own happiness in the middle of storms. Happy Independence Day to us. In the end, everything will be fine. If it's not yet fine, then it's not the end. Hope is what keeps us alive. It's obviously not a strategy, but it can strengthen the mind that births the strategy.
