It's February 2022 – @shollsman stunned the internet with breaking news.
Just two years after Paystack's acquisition, he was launching a football club – Sporting Lagos, to nurture Nigeria's football talent over the next 40 years.

Earlier today in Abuja, I had the honour of delivering a keynote address at the National Dialogue on "How to Make Nigeria Work,” organised to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Udenta Udenta, the founding National Secretary of the Alliance for Democracy (AD). This dialogue brought together individuals from various walks of life, all united by a shared concern for the future of our beloved nation.
