Back home in Lagos 🇳🇬
Moderated 2 high-impact panels at the Diaspora Series hosted by Woodhall Capital .

This wasn’t just another panel.
It was a room full of decision-makers;diaspora leaders, investors, operators asking hard questions about Nigeria’s future.

Here’s what we explored.

🌟 Panel 1: Coming Home to Opportunity Fiona Uwagwu Egomaron Jegede PMP, DCE, CSM Eneni Oduwole QRD®, QRE®, FCRM, FICRS
What actually makes diaspora investment work in Nigeria?

The conversation centered on:
→ Rigorous due diligence (people, governance, risk)
→ Investing in products and platforms already shaping daily life
→ The urgent need for better data, especially in Africa’s fast-growing creative economy

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆?
𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲.

⭐️ Panel 2: Navigating Nigeria’s Business Landscape Wole Abu Oyeyemi (Immanuel) Aderibigbe Oyinda Akanbi, FCCA
This was about mindset as much as markets.

We talked about:
→ The mental shift required to move back home
→ Letting go of anti-Nigeria narratives in favor of solution-building
→ Why we scale too cautiously for a country of our size
→ And how weak infrastructure limits our ability to compete globally — even in hosting world-class conferences

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆. 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁.
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲.

I also had the privilege of a fireside chat with Mojisola Elizabeth Hunponu-Wusu- President of Woodhall Capital Group.

Her message was clear:
→ Come home with competence, not just capital
→ Lead with structure, not sentiment
→ Identify what makes you different and be bold enough to disrupt

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

The room was sold out, the feedback was strong, and the conversations were exactly the kind leaders are hungry for right now.
Thank you to Evelyn Oluwole Damilola M. Oguntade Tamilore Sophia Olalusi for trusting me to step in.

If you’re planning diaspora-focused events, AI-driven conversations, or economic-building initiatives in Nigeria for 2026 and need an event host/moderator, my inbox is open.

This conversation isn’t optional.
It’s essential.

Ps. my 1st question to the panelists: "what Afrobeat song is currently stuck on repeat on your playlist?"
Mine: "HEHEHE" by Rema, what's yours? 😆 

Happy New Year ✨

The most dangerous thing an entrepreneur can do in 2026?


Build a business based on 2023 logic.

The "hustle harder" era is dead. The "burnout for growth" model is failing. 

If your business relies solely on your 1-to-1 time, you aren't building an asset, you're building a cage.

On January 29th (7pm GMT. 8pm WAT), I’m joining Graphy Inc. and a panel of heavy hitters to break down the new blueprint for sustainable scale.

No B.S. Just the mechanics of:
1. The "Weightless" Skills: What actually moves the needle now (and what to stop doing).

2. Cognitive Load Systems: How to grow without your nervous system becoming collateral damage.

3. Resilient Income: Moving beyond 1:1 work to create true stability.

I’ll be sitting down with Chris Croft, Anmol Goel , and Romina Massa 🐙 to show you how to build a business that holds up while you actually live your life.

Ready to future-proof your systems?

2026 Ready; Skills, Systems and Income streams Every Entrepreneur needs

The biggest mistake founders/creators will make in 2026?
Building alone

If you’re building in secret, you’re building for a graveyard. (yep, i said it 👀 )

The biggest shift we’ve seen this year isn’t AI, it’s the return to Radical Transparency. 

The founders winning right now aren’t the ones with the biggest ad budgets; they’re the ones with the strongest ecosystems.

I’m going deep on this with Graphy Inc. on January 29th. 

We’re moving past the "hustle" and into the Systems of Scale.

We are breaking down the 3 pillars:
✨ Building in Public: Why your "work in progress" is more valuable than your "finished product." It’s how you turn an audience into an army of advocates. 

✨  Network Leveraging: Your "network" shouldn't be a Rolodex; it should be a feedback loop. Learn how to bridge the gap between networking and true community. 

✨  Invisible Systems: How to build the infrastructure that handles the "boring stuff" so you can stay in your zone of genius (without the 2:00 AM burnout).



The future of business is collaborative, transparent, and systematized.

From family therapy to leading global teams, my career has always been about finding purpose in the messy, driving strategy with empathy, and making an impact where it matters most. Whether scaling operations, driving wellbeing initiatives, or building teams, I thrive at the intersection of people, process, and meaningful change.

With over a decade of experience navigating complex challenges from protecting digital communities at Adobe and Snap to leading trust & safety initiatives at leading BPOs. I now focus on bringing innovative solutions to new areas and creating cultures that prioritize both performance and well-being. I am passionate about special projects that push boundaries and empower teams.

A few highlights:
• Led policy and operational changes that safeguarded millions of users and built trusted systems
• Managed diverse, high-performing teams, coaching the next generation of leaders
• Spearheaded global wellness programs, integrating well-being into business strategy
• Balanced empathy with strategic execution to drive transformative change

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me hiking, gardening, or thinking about what’s next for purpose-driven leadership and innovation. Let’s connect if you’re interested in new ideas, collaboration, or exploring how we can create impact in today’s fast-moving world.
