Here’s a book I just read, and I would 200% recommend it to Africans in the diaspora. 

It’s a book by Ken Okoroafor, Sunday Times best-seller author. 

The book is titled Financial Joy, and I have many things to say about it. 

Firstly, the book is 100% relatable, and if you’re like me and are still finding your way around the UK system and wondering how to have financial abundance in a country that looks impossible, the book will help and trust me, it’s the only guide you need. 

Secondly, I’m really excited not only because it’s UK-relatable but also because the writers have a African background, and you know what they say about supporting your own. 

There is so much to say, and I’ve taken it upon myself to be an evangelist of this book because many of us need to be enlightened, especially on managing our expenses and living debt-free. 

So please grab a copy of this on Amazon, share it on your WhatsApp groups and tell your family members, church members and everyone who needs financial freedom.

Thank you so much, Ken Okoroafor and Mary Okoroafor, for assembling this masterpiece. 

You don’t know how much you’ve helped people like us not have to worry about watching countless videos on investing and out-paying a mortgage. 

I hope you purchase it, and you’ll see me do countless videos on what I’ve learnt from this book very soon.

Recently, a listener of my show and I had a short convo on the battle between Nigerian Jollof Rice and Ghana Jollof🤭. 

So, Jimmy Davis Duku is from Ghana, and I am originally from Nigeria. 

Jimmy said Ghana Jollof is better, and from his statement, he would rather not taste Nigerian Jollof and stick to his country’s delicacy instead😂. 
 
(For me, he needs to be detained😂).

Interestingly, somebody said that Senegal Jollof Rice is better than these two countries. 

So I'm wondering, between Ghana Jollof Rice and Nigerian Jollof Rice, which would you vote for? 

Also, to listen to the entire episode of this show, which would keep you entertained and informed for the next hour, head over to any of your podcast platforms and listen.

Have you ever considered how important trust is in content marketing? For years, brands have been using content marketing to connect with their audience and boost sales.

However, trust is often overlooked in the process. 

Did you know that nearly 44% of consumers are willing to spend an additional $500 with a brand they trust? This research by Adobe highlights the significant role trust plays in content marketing.

In this short newsletter, I talked about how you can build trust with your audience using content marketing.
