It was driven home to me today how our immigration system isn't about coming "the right way"—it's about having money, the right passport, and the right skin color.

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.
On the back of that announcement was an exciting partnership with payments startup Klasha.
I had a thrilling conversation with the team that made this happen.

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.

In the words of @tori_crandall —charismatic, larger-than-life founder personalities routinely dominate the headlines. We’re flipping this over and spotlighting one of the heroes behind startup excellence in the ecosystem.
I’m interviewing Yanmo Omorogbe, COO of @investbamboo, about her daily grind and what makes Bamboo successful for @bigtechthisweek's next issue on Sunday.
I’ll love to hear from you. What questions do you have for Yanmo — whether you're curious about her strategies for operational excellence, the dynamic relationship between the CEO and COO, or Bamboo's expansion plans.
Drop them in the comments. Please RT for the tech enthusiasts in the back!

Last week, Tennessee passed legislation to allow international medical graduates to obtain licensure and practice independently *without* completing a U.S. residency program.
This is BIG news.
So you know what that means.
Time to break it down, Winners & Losers™️ style.

The coronation of Charles III was quite a deliberately inclusive event.
But beyond that, a number of British-Nigerians were fairly closely involved in the ceremonies by virtue of their positions.
Here are some of them.
