Today, we had an amazing STEP Cohort 1 end-of-program event and it was my pleasure connecting with other great Founders who have (rather than complain), chosen to build solutions to life's many challenges. The after-event hangout with Mr. Ifedy and Mr. Austin was the icing on the cake; where we shared our blunt feedback on our experiences about the program and they shared more insights on how we can form the right network to grow our Startups. This is one priceless experience. My gratitude goes to the STEP team, Idea Africa and the UK Nigeria Tech Hub who have made this journey worthwhile. Thank you all plentifully! #STEP #UKNigeriaTechHub

When the results from a test or competition is published and your children always come top on the list, you may not realize what God has done for you. Imagine having to worry about how to put food on the table and also worry that your kids are not doing well academically; this will put you in an "ikegwuru" situation. Father, thank you for fighting my battles for me. Feel free to share this video with someone. Let them know that they may not be where they hoped to be; but they're definitely not where they used to be. #gratitude

Paid a visit to Cafe One with [CoachAdaeze] while scouting for venue partnerships for the Digital Transformation Summit coming up in July. #DTS #StartupSouth

Happy Blessed Birthday [kayceefx]. I pray God perfect all that concerns you as you start this new season. 🥟

My heart breaks for people in need. But it also breaks when I feel used. Yesterday during rehearsals, someone came looking for me. I saw him sitting quietly at the back of the church—patient, almost timid. After the session, he walked up to me and shared his story: He’d just been released from prison. He had nowhere to go and needed help getting back to Rivers State. He said his mother—his only surviving parent—was unreachable. In that moment, my heart softened. I wanted to help. I always want to help. But after he left… doubt crept in. What if it was all a lie? What if I’d just been played? It hurts to think that someone could take advantage of compassion. But it hurts even more to think I might turn away the next person who truly needs help… just because I’ve been burned before. I’m struggling with this. How do you tell the difference? How do you keep your heart open without being taken for granted? If you’ve ever faced this kind of moment, I’d really love to hear how you handled it.

If you are going through a situation, you're probably being refined. Stay through the course.

Talk is Cheap — Execution is Where the Magic Is In 2019, James had a dream to start a clothing brand. He talked about it every day. He designed logos, chose brand names, even created mockups. He told friends, shared it in WhatsApp groups, and watched countless YouTube videos on how to launch a fashion business. But year after year, nothing launched. Meanwhile, his quiet friend Tolu never said much. One day, Tolu simply posted a photo of a shirt with the caption: "Available in all sizes. DM to order." No logo. No fancy branding. No hype. Just one shirt, one photo, and one action. Fast forward 2 years — James is still “planning,” while Tolu now supplies clothing to 12 stores, runs an Instagram shop with thousands of followers, and just secured a deal to produce uniforms for a local school. You see, the difference wasn’t talent. It wasn’t even about who had the better design. The difference was execution. Talk is cheap. We all have ideas. But it’s the quiet ones who show up, do the work, and start small — they’re the ones who see the magic. Years ago, I had a vision — to build an indigenous social commerce network for Nigeria and Africa. Why? Because we have the economic numbers, the creativity, and the hunger to grow. So I deployed my time, energy, and resources to move that vision beyond just an idea. Today, that vision is YuSocial, and we are on our way to scaling it — not just for one person, but for the entire community of entrepreneurs, content creators, and forward-thinkers across the continent. ✅ Have you downloaded the YuSocial app yet?
