5 years ago Deloitte Nigeria started the cybersecurity academy to train and keep their own cyber talents. People with zero experience were trained for over 2 years and sent to the field to work with top clients and that is how I got into cybersecurity. You can’t stumble talents.

when you don’t pay your staff so you can’t even contribute to this conversation before person quote your tweet <<<

Financial Institutions, especially one like Moniepoint that seems to have a very high ceiling, it should adopt the GTBank approach. GT over time has developed a very structured and disciplined approach to talent development. They do pre-NYSC internships, OND-HND placements and year round Graduate Trainee programmes. They have a dedicated training school infrastructure dedicated to this and highly invested in. We have seen this pipeline progress talents from Trainee roles to mid-level, into management and board executives….all from Training school (mind you, GT had been doing this even as a new bank in the mid 90s) This strategy has helped them deploy internally trained staff across their African subsidiaries and even into its non-banking ventures. Through this, they have a shared culture, and unified way of operation as a bank & I believe it has become a competitive advantage. Access & Zenith are trying too. Their need for external experienced hires is less than 20% of their total staffing needs and infact other big institutions hire from them up to the executive level. It’s a long, painful process but it’s important for any future-thinking organization.

I remember tweeting that I led the recruitment of COREN-certified engineers, and one CEO reached out to me saying he needed four of them. He mentioned his budget was 500k, and I was seriously laughing. Some engineers receive Hilux with their offer letter, and you’re saying 500k.

@Head_91 I like you jare 😂

The battle between Architects and Engineers is like the battle between Army and Police. At the top, the generals and Commissioners of police are collaborating, shaking hands and eating good. At the bottom or slightly below the food chain, their men are fighting each other. 😂

Fueling your car and generator at N1,330/L is not the right way to live.

The most successful people tend to have extremely high respect for others at the top of their field because they understand just what it takes to be there, while everyone else underestimates it

Real Engineers are so pissed when peasants call themselves Engineers 😭😂😂 My structural engineer just de crash out say him jam one “engineer” for site - the “engineer” no know anything 😭

I’m pleased to share my paper on “Strength and microstructural characteristics of conventional concrete incorporating rice husk ash and bacteria (Bacillus pasteurii and Bacillus subtilis)”. link.springer.com/article/10.100… #SustainableConstruction #Concrete #Research

It is not enough to be good, you must be competitive. Yeah, I know you a 90, but what happens when you enter rooms where the median is a 95?

My mind and life got better when I stopped fantasizing on everything I wished for myself that I wasn’t willing to work for. Focus on things you can chase and chase them on day at a time.

Chasing gratifications rooted in compounding results. E fit be today. E fit be tomorrow. E fit be next week. I showed up. I show up. I’ll keep showing up. 🙏🏾 #ChasingValidDreams #StayJiggy 🫶🏾

We Are Seriously Paying The Price For The WAEC Miracle Centers our generation used to pass WAEC Its sad You cannot game certain things and its clear

I'd argue that sequencing is what makes an album an album and not just a collection of random songs.

Women love cohabitation more than men.

Today, I reflect on my journey and the trajectory of my life and I’m deeply grateful for how God has guided me every step of the way. Started investing 19 years ago when I was 26. I have studied over 1000 audited and annual reports through this period. Studied Computer Sc. Attend Engineering, Project and Production Management program in university of Brighton in 2012. Attended Project Management MBA crash program organized by PMI in Pennsylvania in 2014. Financial markets course in Yale. I began my career at Microsoftware, where I worked for a couple of years as a Technical Assistant to the Director and Software Architect, the only role in which I served as an employee. During that time, we were among the pioneers using PowerBuilder (a 4GL programming language) alongside Sybase SQL. I was privileged to be part of an exceptional team, contributing to the development of several Enterprise Pension and Personnel Management Systems (EPPMS), including a major development and deployment for the Nigerian Railway Corporation, supporting over 35,000 staff and more than 100,000 pensioners at the time. Printwiser, Labelwriter, Guk solutions for Academy Press, APBF, Megavons security, just to mention a few. In 2010, I transitioned into consulting, advising one of the largest microfinance banks in Rivers State on ICT infrastructure evaluation. By 2015, I became involved with WETV project at its inception, where I played a key role in building critical CTO-level systems. Wacom Cintiq cartoon solutions. Through strategic collaboration with Eurocom, we delivered specialized systems. I also contributed to multiple projects across media platforms including Cool FM, Naija Info, and Wazobia FM. In 2017, I was part of the team that deployed a critical hardware security gateway layer, working with UN Unlimited South Africa for the largest revenue-generating government institution rep in Nigeria. In 2018, I collaborated with Crossmatch Identity Solutions (now HID, USA) on integrating advanced identity systems for a major government revenue agency. Built rendering systems for Lekki Gardens, during the pandemic. And some specialized systems for Clout Studio during the pandemic as well. Ventured into real estate in 2022 I have also worked on several strategic projects with Webb Fontaine Nigeria, contributing to platforms that powered Nigeria’s bilateral trade and revenue systems at some point among other impactful initiatives throughout my career. Today, I am living a lifelong ambition, sharing insights and helping others build strong investment portfolios on the NGX through my work on X. Cheers to 45 🍾
