Proud to have completed the @economicspeace Ambassadorship Program, gaining valuable insights on positive peace and peacebuilding. Excited to continue promoting these principles as an IEP Ambassador.

If you're proud of your Dad. Retweet this.

Yesterday, I attended a corporate event in DC. During the fireside chat, one of the organization’s board members was asked what he would do differently in his career if he were younger. He said he was very pleased with all he had accomplished, but his only regret was stepping aside after 30 years to allow a younger person lead the organization’s Africa operations. There was a brief silence in the room after he made that statement. He then added that the young man had a PhD from an Ivy League institution and was also from the continent. According to him, the young man bankrupted the organization within seven years. When dinner was served, I had a brief conversation with the speaker and asked if he could share more details about his earlier comments. He obliged and asked where I was from. After I responded, he said, “Yes, that’s where the young man ran the organization down.” The conversation stayed with me, not as an indictment of African talent, but as a reminder that degrees and credentials alone are not enough. Sustainable leadership requires mentorship, institutional support, accountability, and long-term investment in young African entrepreneurs and leaders.

When you exempt candidates seeking to study education related courses from taking JAMB examination, you send a message. Whether you intend to or not, the message is this: becoming a teacher in Nigeria requires less academic scrutiny than becoming an accountant, an economist, or an agricultural engineer. You are institutionally signaling that the profession responsible for forming all other professions does not need to meet the same entry standard as those other professions. That is not just a policy error. It is a values statement. And it is the wrong one! open.substack.com/pub/thejacobse…

Don’t let anybody deceive you, you’re not entirely separate from what you put out there on the internet, and what you post consistently will surely shape how people see you.

People say communication is key, but I believe comprehension is what truly completes it. Without understanding, communication is just words passing by.
