A Y O’

2018 in Lagos 2023 in San Francisco

@themomentconf Awards Night was the last event of the weekend. It had to be the one they never forget. We transformed the space completely. We ensured we created a completely different world. The lighting for the awards was its own production. Dramatic where it needed to be. Warm where people needed to feel celebrated. Precise on the stage where winners would stand and have their moment. Every beam was placed with intention. We thought about the winners before they knew they’d win. What would it feel like to walk to that stage? What would they see? What would the room feel like when their name was called? We designed for that moment specifically. YellowLyfe produced Moments by Mainstack, and we’d do it all over again without blinking. Thank you @whichayo for bringing this amazing project to life and we can’t wait to see what the future awaits.

Imagine a booth that looks as good as borderless payments feel. We brought the @greyfinance vision to life at the #MomentByMainstack conference with a space that is as sleek as their app.

We’re still buzzing from the energy at the Moment Conference! Our time there reminded us why we do what we do. 🗣️ We got to meet our incredible students in person and the energy was unmatched! Moments like this remind us that we’re not just building careers, we’re building a community. 💙

What a moment @themomentconf #moment2026

Last weekend I attended my first creator event ‘The Moment Conference’ hosted by @themainstack and here are a few things I took away from it: 1. Put yourself in the room As a creator, don’t stay hidden online. You need to show up in spaces where other creators are. That’s where networking, collaborations & real learning happen. 2. Be a person of value Too many Nigerian creators downplay themselves in an industry literally worth billions. Even if you start small, build something meaningful and aim higher over time. 3. Never stop learning The digital space evolves very fast; new tools and opportunities appear constantly. So stay curious and keep refining your system. All in all, I had an amazing time at The Moment… I left feeling so inspired. 🥳

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.

One of our moments at @themomentconf🥹 We absolutely loved meeting all the creators who are redefining what’s possible for the continent! It was exciting talking about how creators can use Busha to earn in crypto, buy, send, receive, and hold stablecoins, save and just make their money work as hard as their content does. Thank you for stopping by the Busha booth🥳.

🙏🏼❤️

@_EngrTee @BWLawal @themomentconf 😅😅

@BWLawal @whichayo @themomentconf I like how he can be both lol😂

And about that one that played the victim card. You did it well! You got people’s sympathy Your ambush marketing was good ngl. 👏 Grateful for a solid legal team as well. I mean you’ve done this before. You’ve served me over a simple “Mainstack vs You” comparison page. I had to take it down because I am a peaceful person. But please don’t drive the “people that have money” narrative here. - You lied that your ad placement was part of the event, why they allowed your scaffold that night… I’ll continue to stay quiet, because you’ve deleted the tweet. - so we are good! 🫶🏼

@BWLawal @thesodiqtijani 🤣🤣🤣

@thesodiqtijani On this matter I can’t be objective But the truth is the truth Also na me unleash the fire inside him like 10 years ago! No worry Ayo is not afraid of anyone or anything! 🤣🤣🤣

Omo Oro! Giran! 🤣

@bsong_HR @nelsonweze @KendysonD I am fasting please 🥹

@nelsonweze Please cc me 😭

It was out of respect for all parties involved that my team and I chose not to respond earlier. I have seen allegations that we paid people to spread lies or even something about shares. While I don’t really see a fault in the latter, I would love to see those receipts.

@BWLawal 🤣🤣

@whichayo Smh I can’t with you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Giran 🤣

Adviser isonu and I are good 🫶🏼 Onto the next one.
