Does anyone think you can have a conference in #Luanda# #Angola# or #Lagos# #Nigeria# with the headline #UK #NorthSea #OilandGas with a panel that looks like this ? Me thinks NOT!

I am Absolutely NOT supporting or going to Africa Energies Summit® | Africa’s Premier Global Upstream Conference | 13th - 15th May 2025 in London. I know some of you will be mad but my position is consistent, i don't patronise or speak at events that refuse to hire or support black Africans. Local Content is important to me and the AEC. We are a new generation of Africans and we have an obligation to ensure that Africans are respected in this oil sector that i love so much. These guys are scared and nervous around Africans. Don't spend your money where you can't work. Name one black employee at this organization or AES besides the cleanning lady or tea lady. I am not lonely. I am happy to stand for something than be another lost soul. #DrillBabyDrill #AEW2025

I can not begin to put to words how much this award means to me and many of us who love and respect @africatechie .  From the struggles and places she has come from, there are many reasons for her not to be where she is today. We are blessed to work with her, but most importantly, her continuous involvement and dedication to Cameroonian and African causes is something we admire.   I have been blessed with so many women in my path who lift me up and who push me forward when I waiver or when I feel weak. Rebecca is one. She is loyal and she has got your back. Through this Forbes recognition, she has once again been lifted and shown that support by the Africaand the world at large.  Congratulations, Rebecca , and keep growing and keep inspiring the so many young people to look up to you.

Was truly an honor to meet @anasalhajji. As an intellectual GIANT, he doesn’t only teach us energy history but helps make history by bringing clarity to complex energy matters. I have learned so much from him. He has become the lightning rod in moving the global energy agenda forward. He has access to both the streets and the suites of global energy capital to make sure that the people who are voiceless, faceless, and powerless finally have a chance to combating energy poverty.  He should be a teacher at the Timbuktu.
