Excerpts from the last Connect & Grow with AY Nigeria, session with @PrinxLouis

🟢 Connect & Grow 7.0 28 May 2026 · Guest: Prince Louis Adekola @PrinxLouis "It is 100% possible to study abroad, irrespective of your results from undergraduate." We opened a door we hadn't opened before — the whole JAPA conversation, tackled head-on. Prince Louis Adekola has lived it and helped others live it too: scholarships abroad aren't reserved for a lucky few with perfect transcripts. Our fullest room to date. Seven editions in, and Connect & Grow keeps proving one thing: a room that keeps meeting will always out-perform a plan that keeps waiting. 🎓 #ConnectAndGrow #JapaTheRightWay #AYNigeria #ScholarshipsMatter

Meet Eniolorunda, Overall Best Graduating student of (Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti (BOUESTI). CGPA of 4.84. Proud mentor moment here.

The keynote address by Chude Jideonwo @Chude at the second edition of the TINE Africa @tine_africa Change Makers Conference was a needed wake-up call. The world is changing at an incredibly fast pace, and the truth is simple — if we fail to adapt, innovate, and evolve, we may be left with no option but to watch from the other side of the fence. Relevance in today’s world belongs to those who are willing to learn, unlearn, and move with change. It was such a pleasure meeting Chude Jideonwo in person and experiencing his brilliance beyond the screens and stories. Conversations like this remind us why growth, courage, and transformation must remain constant. #TimeAfricaChangeMakersConference #ChudeJideonwo #ChangeMakers

From powerful keynote sessions to thought-provoking conversations, inspiring speakers, meaningful connections, and unforgettable moments — the 2nd Edition of the @tine_africa Changemakers Conference was nothing short of extraordinary. This wasn't just another conference; it was a gathering of visionaries, innovators, leaders, and changemakers committed to shaping a better future for Africa. Every session challenged perspectives. Every speaker delivered value. Every moment carried purpose. As I look back on these highlights, I'm reminded that real change begins when great minds gather in the same room with a shared commitment to growth, impact, and transformation. It was an honour once again to serve as the Host and Master of Ceremonies for this remarkable platform. Kudos to the Convener, @PrinxLouis , and the entire TINE Africa team for consistently raising the bar. The future belongs to those bold enough to create it. #TINEAfrica #TINEAfricaChangemakersConference #Changemakers #AYNigeria

A heartfelt appreciation to my brother and Guest Mentor, @PrinxLouis , for delivering an exceptional session at Connect & Grow 7.0. His insights challenged us to rethink development beyond physical infrastructure and focus on what truly matters—people, mindset, skills, and human capital development. It was a deeply engaging and technical conversation that broadened perspectives and inspired intentional growth. The value shared was immense, and the feedback from participants speaks volumes about the impact of the session. Thank you for investing your time, knowledge, and experience into the next generation. Connect & Grow 7.0 is richer because of your contribution. We celebrate you and look forward to many more impactful conversations ahead. #ConnectAndGrow7 #GuestMentor #HumanCapitalDevelopment #GlobalCitizenship

A few years ago, conversations around “studying abroad” used to sound distant to many young people around us. For some, it felt impossible. For others, it felt like an opportunity reserved for only the wealthy, connected, or exceptionally lucky. But over time, I have watched ordinary young Nigerians rewrite their stories through the right information, mentorship, access, and courage. I have seen people who once struggled with confidence now studying in countries they only saw on YouTube. I have seen scholarship rejection emails turn into fully funded admissions. I have seen young people leave rooms of confusion and enter rooms of global relevance. And that is exactly why the 7th Edition of Connect & Grow with AY Nigeria matters. This edition is not just another event. It is a room for possibilities. A room where conversations around JAPA, scholarships, international education, and global opportunities will no longer remain abstract dreams but practical discussions with someone who has helped many people navigate that path successfully. Our guest mentor, Prince Louis Omolayo Adekola @PrinxLouis is one of the respected voices in international education consulting, and he will be in the room LIVE — not behind a screen, not through a webinar, but physically present to share insights, answer questions, and guide attendees honestly. If you have: • Ever wondered how scholarship applications truly work… • Tried before and failed… • Been confused about the right country, school, or route… • Or simply want clarity on how to position yourself globally… Then you should not miss this session. Connect and Grow with AY Nigeria has always been beyond networking. It is about growth, access, mentorship, and building a generation that is informed enough to compete globally. Attendance is FREE. But registration is compulsory. bit.ly/3GbBpGk And because this is a deliberate mentorship gathering, your application responses must be thoughtful and intentional to be selected. Someone shared an opportunity with you once. This might be your turn to share one with someone else. #ConnectAndGrowWithAYNigeria #Scholarships #Japa #InternationalEducation
