No. 020Economics & Politics
There is something worth examining about the way we remember significant moments in our history. We celebrate independence, political movements, revolutions, military struggles and the individuals who stood at the…

I sometimes wonder if we made the most of the Afrobeats movement.

How evidence, momentum, and uncertainty shape the direction a product takes.

I used to think becoming a better designer meant becoming better at design.
No. 016Philosophy & Ideas
I used to think reading was dangerously close to indoctrination. You open a book, and someone else’s conclusions walk straight into your head. No resistance, no interrogation, just absorption. And if most of what we know…

I posted something on LinkedIn this week about an idea I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately: the difference between payment as a feature and payment as a product. I thought I’d share the longer version here…

Nigeria wants to become a trillion-dollar economy by 2030. It is an ambitious target, and ambition itself is not the problem. The real question is whether we are building the conditions to get there, and whether ordinary…

Every time an African startup crosses the billion-dollar mark, we celebrate. And honestly, I understand why. I feel that pride too. There is something exciting about seeing an African company become valuable enough for…

I have been turning something over lately. Metacognition, the strange habit of watching yourself think while you are thinking. Noticing a thought as it arrives, questioning it, asking where it came from and whether you…

No. 008Philosophy & Ideas
“Know thyself” has been a philosophical cornerstone for centuries. Socrates said it. Every self-help book echoes it. It sounds profound enough that most people never question whether it goes far enough.
No. 007Society & Culture
In broad daylight on May 15, 2026, armed bandits walked into three schools in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State, and took 46 people. Seven teachers. Dozens of students. Children as young as two years old. Days…
No. 006Philosophy & Ideas
There is a kind of intelligence you cannot study for. It comes from something harder and less optional: from living through the collapse of what you thought was solid ground, and choosing to understand it rather than…

Everyone defends democracy the same way. “It’s the worst system except for all the others.” Churchill said it. Politicians quote it. Academics repeat it. But defending something by pointing at worse alternatives isn’t…

I started listening to Show Dem Camp in 2018, somewhere in the middle of university, when I needed music that felt like it was thinking. Most of what was on every playlist at the time was loud and fast. SDC was slow…

Love does something to the mind that very little else can. It expands it.
