I need your help. Over the past few months, I’ve made a commitment to tell more stories about Africans building remarkable things in the United States. Not because there aren’t enough stories. But because not enough people hear them. Every week, I meet Africans who are: • Building startups • Leading teams at major companies • Driving innovation in AI and technology • Owning businesses and factories • Advancing healthcare and research • Creating jobs and opportunities Yet many of these stories remain invisible. I believe representation matters. Because when we see people who look like us building extraordinary things, it expands our sense of what’s possible. So I’d like your help. If you know an African in the US doing exceptional work in business, technology, AI, healthcare, manufacturing, startups, or their career, please nominate them. Let’s shine a light on the builders. Let’s document our stories. Let’s show the world what Africans are building. Nominate someone here: AdewaleYusuf.com/feature

Do you remember Chidera Ikeoha, the youngster we found inside motor parks selling his book he wrote to feed and support his family? Public donations for his book were channeled toward his education. The remaining funds will see him through to graduation. We moved him from a public school and enrolled him in a private school in Enugu. He is currently in SS1 and will enter SS2 in September. Chidera is an A student determined and focused. Supporting his education was a brilliant decision. We have a star on our hands.

The thing nobody tells you about exponential change is that it feels like nothing is happening right up until the moment everything happens at once.

Cardoso once said he believes the fair value of the dollar is ₦800-₦1,000. I would not be surprised if they eventually subsidize the dollar to the upper end of what they think the fair value is. Time will tell, tick tock.

You have to be calm, you have to be intelligent, you have to be rational, and you have to be fearless.

The problem isn't that these cities are bad. Most are major economic and cultural centers. The problem is that movies, social media, and travel influencers create impossible expectations. Many travelers aren't looking for reality. They're looking for iconic landmarks, luxury, convenience, and the perfect Instagram photo. And some cities... simply don't live up to the hype.

I don't call the people that clean the office, "Cleaners". They do a lot beyond cleaning and they deserve to be addressed properly. I call them "hygiene officers". I'm big on respect.

System design concepts every Nigerian backend dev must know: → Idempotency — same request, same result, no duplicates → Eventual consistency — distributed systems don’t update instantly → Circuit breaker — stop calling a failing service automatically → Dead letter queue — catch failed jobs before they disappear → Optimistic locking — prevent concurrent writes from corrupting data → CQRS — separate read and write models for high-traffic systems → Saga pattern — manage multi-step transactions without distributed locks These aren’t interview concepts. They’re what keeps your payment system running at 3AM. Save this.

Meet Nigerian American Ikenna Okezie, the CEO and co-founder of Somatus, a $2.5 billion kidney care company transforming how America manages chronic kidney disease. Raised in Detroit by a family of physicians, he majored in Economics at Yale before earning medical and business degrees from Harvard. His company, Somatus, shifts kidney care from late-stage dialysis to early prevention. Using an AI platform called RenalIQ, it tracks patient health, offers virtual care, and partners with local physicians. He found a flaw in the system and fixed it. Okezie has achieved something rare: a fortune built not on sickness, but on keeping people well. Culled

There are many start ups doing way better numbers than the companies currently listed on the stock exchange. Both top line and bottom line. How can we get those start ups there instead?

What an incredible experience to host one of the only two Indians who have gone to space @spc_india. It is one of the joys of my job to be able to meet inspiring people and learn from them. @gagan_shux's advice: "Dream big and stay curious".
