Tech is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't compare your chapter 2 with someone else chapter 10. Focus on your growth #MondayMotivation

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as the Devrel & Growth contributor of the Grow3dge project at @si3_ecosystem! I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve and contribute to this amazing project, amongst other wonderful women in the space. Special appreciation to @si_karahoward for the love, support, and push. Excited to make history with you all.

Had a great session yesterday on “The Web3 Economy in Africa.” One key insight: Africa’s Web3 adoption isn’t driven by speculation. It’s driven by utility. We discussed: • Stablecoins powering cross-border payments • Regulatory uncertainty vs growing adoption • Grassroots blockchain innovation • Women shaping the ecosystem Africa may become the most practical Web3 market globally. Builders: What use case will define the next phase?

Happy new month FiTechies. March forward into new success with fresh ideas and cutting-edge solutions.

Developer Education is the New "Sales" in Web3. I had the pleasure of speaking at Lagos Ethereum Community Hub, organized by @MajemuItura and @Web3Bridge, yesterday about a topic close to my heart: How to run Community-Led Developer Education. The takeaway was simple: You can’t just "teach" code anymore. You have to build an ecosystem where builders feel seen, supported, and connected to real opportunities. In Web3, your documentation is your marketing, and your community is your sales force. As an Ecosystem Operator, my goal is to bridge the gap between "Learning" and "Operating." Huge thanks to the organizers for a stellar event. 🚀

Africa’s Web3 ecosystem is entering a coordination phase. Capital is watching. Builders are shipping. Protocols are expanding. I work at the intersection of VCs, startups & infrastructure across Africa. Open to ecosystem partnerships & strategic collaborations. DMs open.

Builder’s Circle is officially open. For a while now, I’ve been working closely with developers — beginners trying to find their footing in Web2 and Web3. What I’ve realized is this: Most people don’t lack information. - They lack structure. - They lack accountability. - They lack proximity. So I’m opening up something intentional. Builder’s Circle — an 8-Week Web2 & Web3 Mentor Program. This is not a bootcamp. It’s not a random tutorial series. And it’s definitely not hype. It’s an intimate mentorship for people ready to build, ship, and start exploring real income pathways in tech. Here’s how it works: 🔹 Web2 Track (Beginners Welcome) Tuesdays & Thursdays 🔹 Web3 Track (Web2 Knowledge Required) Wednesdays & Fridays Over 8 weeks, you will: • Learn the right foundations • Build and deploy real projects • Strengthen your GitHub & portfolio • Gain exposure to bounties, hackathons, freelancing & other side income pathways • Be guided, corrected, and pushed We begin on March 2nd. This is intentionally small. Seats are limited because mentorship requires attention. There’s a small token required for entry — not because the knowledge isn’t valuable, but because commitment matters. If you’re ready to stop hovering around tech and actually step into it properly, apply below. 🔗 Apply here: bit.ly/3OtMgiX See you inside Builder’s Circle.

A good day to say, by the end of the 2026, there is no program you want to host in the web3 ecosystem; conference, residencies, hackathon, pop up cities etc that we will not have facilities to host at @Web3Bridge in Ikorodu. We are building a city, network state of sort and each day the potential to have multiple hubs/labs, shared spaces and all spring up here is much. Come talk and work with us

@Ebunayo08 We are ready 💪

Just tested this off-ramp product from an alumni and i was ready to start calling all my BD friends and testers I know will be excited to use it!

There's an African proverb that says: "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, you go together."🤏 Community support is everything if you want to go far as a creative in the web3 space. Growing alone as a creative in web3 can be frustrating, and we get it. But have you tried growing with a community like Mgsweb3? Join us @Mgsweb3 If you're a marketer, writer, designer, researcher, or creator who wants access to real support and opportunities like never before: t.me/+POy2HPVbDV0wY…

Venues: Free vs Paid — What I’ve Learned Free venues save money — but they come with some trade-offs, which may cost you more. Paid venues give structure — but you'd have to incur some cost, which is most times huge. Choosing wisely depends on your audience, not your ego. There's nothing more frustrating than paying for a very good venue and underutilizing it.

In January 2025, I tweeted: 📌 “I’m so bullish — this is truly the year for African founders and builders.” Looking back now, that conviction wasn’t misplaced. Over the past year, I have worked closely with early-stage startups across Web3 — and I have seen firsthand what African founders are capable of when given the right support, clarity, and access. Some real progress. Some real lessons. Some real wins. Going into 2026, I’m doubling down on this belief — and committing more intentionally to supporting early-stage founders to become investable, while helping ecosystems and investors access better, more grounded deal flow. This isn’t hype for me. It’s work.

The Biggest Lie People Believe About Tech Events The biggest lie? “That tech events are easy.” People see the photos, the crowd, and the speakers — they don’t see the stress, the follow-ups, the costs, or the real work that starts after the event. Because a successful event isn’t the room being full. It’s how many people you convert, onboard, and retain once the lights go off. If you’re thinking of organizing one, you deserve the full picture.

@Faytey7 @MGS_Web3 @Blockheaderweb3 @Web3LagosCon @Web3Bridge @Web3Clubs @web3afrika @_one_dev @blockfuselabs @ETHGlobal Yes the struggle is real, thanks for sharing 🙌

EPISODE 2 My First Event — What I Completely Underestimated About Speakers My first tech event taught me something the hard way: good intentions don’t manage speakers. I underestimated how much emotional and mental energy it takes to coordinate speakers — the follow-ups, schedule changes, reminders, and the quiet anxiety of hoping everyone shows up. When events go well, people only see the stage. They don’t see the work it took to get the speakers there.

@Faytey7 @_one_dev @Blockheaderweb3 @blockfuselabs @Web3LagosCon @web3ladies @web3afrika @Web3Bridge @DAOfest @CoLab_kd Awesome 👌

Why I Started Organizing Tech & Web3 Events I didn’t start organizing tech events to build a brand. I started because access was limited — and someone had to do the work. I wanted spaces where people could actually learn, ask questions, and feel like they belonged — not just watch speakers and go home. What I didn’t know then was how much happens behind the scenes. This series is about that part.

@Faytey7 @Web3LagosCon @Blockheaderweb3 @Web3Bridge @_one_dev @Web3Clubs Let's go

Would be dropping a series on how I organize and plan tech events, my takeaways, frustrations, failures, successes, what to look out for, how to save money while planning tech/web3 events etc Stay tuned to this space

Learning web development is my next step toward building solutions, growing my skills, and shaping the future with tech. Hoping to join @FitechCommunity Cohort 2 to make it happen! 🚀 #WebDevGoals #LearnToCode
