The Spirit of Nigeria Radio Interview

In this episode, I am engaged by Eyiyemi Rogbinyin of The Spirit of Nigeria Radio. We talked about one of my new projects called "skyTrain" where we plan to build a veritable rail network but in the sky. We talk about how critical Nigerians in the diaspora are and how they can change the fortunes of this country if we at home can engage them on a level, possibly, never seen before. We also talk about how we need to see Nigeria as an infinite journey to fulfillment and not the finite journey that the developed world keeps telling us. This episode, while long (nearly 60 minutes), is truly a gem.

The power of us! Nigerians around the world.

In this episode I explore where the world is going and how the battle lines are being drawn in the midst of the pandemic. This should serve as a wake up call for us here that we need to engage our diaspora so that we can together bring solutions that solve our issues in ways only we understand. Please reach out to me via email, LinkedIn or Instagram if you want find out more about what we are doing.

She is a founding member of Enough is Enough Nigeria and was a key driver in the passage of the "Not Too Young To Run" bill that paved the way for younger candidates in Nigerian Politics.  Chioma is a writer, holds columns on Huffington Post and Premium Times, and is the Fairy GodSister on her blog.

What Next? Fulfilment is the key!

In this episode I answer the question I posed 10 days ago of what next? Here I give my own simple solution for a clear path to fulfilment. We must play the infinite game and change the rules of engagement. Though simplistic, this is a start.
