Wait for my Eid pictures and videos. Kai!




Trust is the keyword, maybe not in your dictionary 😩🫵🏾

So let me get this straight 🌚 You’re losing customers and leaving money on the table… to wait for a product that doesn’t exist yet? No further questions.


Why they’ll wait = Trust and Loyalty to a platform that has delivered for them over time 😝!!!

Nah, they don’t. BUT we’d be launching our upgraded community platform in a few weeks! I’m so excited for our creators to try this! It’s so breathtaking 🤭

Chude literally "brought me to Lagos". He gave me my first big break when he remotely hired me to design all the graphics for The Future Awards Africa in 2014. I was charging 5-10K Naira for logos on the FUTA campus in Akure. These were Lagos people and so I called the biggest amount I could think of. I had a deal for 150K Naira. The scope was a lot more work than I had ever done but I also couldn't believe my eyes. Or ears. "This design thing is real o". The drill was over. The night of the awards was my first time in Lagos by myself as a young adult. I needed to be there to see it all live. What a night! I muttered "Hi Asa, I'm Victor" as she walked by, then froze when she replied "Hi Victor". Did she just call my name?!? I finally saw the one called 'Falzthebadguy' from one of the posters I was designing. How did his mother allow such a name? I thought. It was a lot for me — the lights, the shiny clothes, the accents, but also the inspiring stories of the nominees and the gratitude in the eyes of the winners. I was both overwhelmed and inspired. It was a whole new world, and I was ready to take it. I would be back on that stage years later as a winner, I thought. I was. So much would happen in the decade to follow but a seed was planted that night, and Chude kept guiding, training, and coaching that potential to fruition. I had asked him if I could bring flyers from Akure that had my name and our 'VGC Media' campus label as the official graphic designer of the event. Chude said 'why not?' and even approved adding it to the packs for guests that night. The prints didn't make it but in the months that followed in Lagos, I would come to cringe at the idea and also understand how gracious it was he didn't mind the thought. It was the beginning of a long journey with him as my employer, client, mentor, and big brother. When we were to start @fourthcanvas in 2015, he told me I had what it took and he believed in me. He even helped choose the name 'FourthCanvas'. When I was stabbed in 2016, he was next to my hospital bed the following morning saying "you are going nowhere, we have a lot of big things to do together"😅 Imagine the full circle moment — me interviewing Chude on stage 12 years later about his own journey on the stage of Moment, a conference for which @fourthcanvas designed the graphics and overall brand. What a Moment! Thank you, @Chudeity 🥹 And thank you @whichayo and the @themainstack for such a huge feat, and the thoughtfulness that evidently went into the speaker selection and pairing, as well as other components of the event.

Elizabeth Ajao didn’t plan to work in tech. Now she’s building for it. techcabal.com/2026/03/18/eli… After graduating in March 2020 from Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State, southwestern Nigeria, with a Botany degree, Elizabeth Ajao appeared set for a career in finance. She had spent years planning to pivot from discipline, only for the global COVID-19 pandemic to rewrite her plans.
