Public opinion— the ghost in collective consciousness
One can hardly predict the zeitgeist from an event. For example, even though Queen Marie Antoinette was innocent, public opinion still found her guilty of the diamond scandal, and the culprits innocent. Perhaps the reason why top PR firms are close to big corporations and politics. They provide a very important service — gauging public opinion. When the feedback from the ghost in collective…

Change makers can change dirty games
The saying, “Politics is a dirty game” is not an epicurean position. It is an admonition to well meaning people so they understand that they will encounter people whose values and ideas might not align with theirs. It does not mean that politics is for dirty people.
The same way ‘good people’ do not necessarily make good managers, politics requires a unique set of skills and attributes. We…

On Race and Racism
I really hope that things can change through advocacy and education, but history keeps reminding me that it is impossible. The best you get is little reforms here and there with no lasting progress, hence the efforts for instance in the US to roll back the tides. By and large, whenever a group is oppressed, it is often down to that group to pull itself together against all odds and find…

Future Works (Our Workforce Recover Initiative)
By way of background the vision started in 2014 after I resigned from work in 2013 to embark on a study sabbatical. This led to a second degree in Theology, Media and Communications, and an MBA. Healingsprings is a volunteer Jed organisation which started as a means of using skills and knowledge from my course in community organising and empowering people within my local community to be change…

Healingsprings fellowship’s Workforce Recovery Initiative
Due to the economic impact of the present pandemic, academics and policy makers agree that we are currently faced with two major problems: high level of unemployment, and a deskilled workforce as a result of economic inactivity.
At Healingsprings fellowship we believe we can help reduce these figures through our Workforce Recovery Initiativeby opening up volunteering opportunities couple with…

Social Constructionism
Social constructionism is a theory of knowledge in sociology and communication theory that examines the development of jointly-constructed understandings of the world that form the basis for shared assumptions about reality.
Some brilliant examples of social constructs are captured in this statement by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:
“I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that…

Fertility rate: 'Jaw-dropping' global crash in children being born (BBC)
Fertility rate: ‘Jaw-dropping’ global crash in children being born (BBC)
Clearly religion gave legitimation to suffering in the past, and in its absence people are increasingly concerned about why children should be born to suffer.
Even though wealth has increased globally (let’s leave the question of distribution for now), and we are living longer, data also shows that we are less fulfilled and unhappier. Scholars even argue that we now suffer from poverty of…

Business Post 2020
It is imperative that leaders understand that their firms are first and foremost technology companies, and secondly, that they are competing in a global market. When you understand that you are simply a global technology company that offers XYZ, that paradigm shift in thinking will automatically reshape your product development.

Trade and Foreign Affairs
The Athenian envoys said to the Melians:
We both know that the decisions about justice are made in human discussions only when both sides are under equal compulsion, but when one side is stronger, it gets as much as it can, and the weak must accept that” – (416 B.C.E)
In similar vain, Africa’s cry for justice and fairness at negotiating tables is in vain, until we are seen as equals. Sadly as in…

Hero Worship
Hero worship is historical and present in most faith traditions. For instance, one can find it in Christianity with Jesus being the hero of humanity through his ‘sacrificial death’ and ‘resurrection’ thereby providing ‘salvation’ for humanity.
Heroes are also linked to the concept of ‘sonship’. So we have people that were referred to as ‘sons of God/a god’ as they were said to accomplish great…

Cognitive Diversity at board level
Cognitive diversity is no longer the gold standard for firms. It’s like folding our arms after presenting a thought experiment.
Oftentimes, we still need to go that extra mile with an actual experiment to test the validity of the thought experiment. In simple terms, real people acquire wisdom from lived experiences.
Furthermore, the constitution of a board reflects the essence and it’s also a…

Hong Kong: UK makes citizenship offer to residents
People are asking why Hong Kong residents are being given a red carpet reception by the UK government, citing that Brexit was a bid to control immigration as resources were depleting.
However, as with poverty there are mainly two types of migrants— the deserving and the undeserving. For example, when the Nigerian economy was buoyant there were…

Our next event is focussing on the Digital Divide.15th June 2020, 7pm – 8:45 (UK TIME)
By way of context, the Digital Divide is defined as the gulf between those who have ready access to computer and the internet, and those who do not. To this end I will be exploring community IT provisions in slums in Lagos State in our next event.
Among other challenges with the current pandemic, perhaps the…

Reform and Progress
Thought Leaders Series: 2019
As a student of history, I have come to realise that achieving policy and institutional reforms, although extremely difficult, is still relatively easier than mobilising potential beneficiaries to see, engage and flourish from such changes.
If one can draw from ancient antiquity, It is one thing to bring the people out of captivity, a completely different and more…
