About Me

I am an enthusiastic writer based in Lagos, with a rich experience of over 10 years in writing about economic and socio-political issues in Nigeria and West Africa.

Why do I write?

Prior to becoming an author, I was a distinguished service member in the Nigerian Navy where I had the opportunity to serve with some of the nation’s brightest men and women I have ever come across.

Over a span of three decades of service in the Nigerian Navy, I have also had the privilege to lead sailors and officers through some of the very challenging situations. After retiring, It became my mission to distill the core leadership principles I learned in the field, and to share those lessons with a broader audience, both military and civilian. Becoming a civilian also allows me to share insights and join the discourse on subjects like corporate governance, effective leadership and communication, and a wide range of other topics affecting Nigeria, In times of crisis, we need effective, strategic and forward thinking leaders and my aim is to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about what it takes to lead effectively when the stakes are highest.

What I Do

Mostly, I spend my time critically thinking and evaluating ideas, and reading to broaden my viewpoints ever before ever setting a pen on paper. But, here is a snapshot of various mediums i use to get my ideas across to the public.

NEWS ARTICLES

I enjoy writing short articles for publishing houses like Business Day. I have written over 100 articles over the last decade

BOOKS​

Currently, I have published 3 books. They range from books on leadership to marriage.

PRESENTATIONS

Every so often, I enjoy being a guest speaker at functions where I get to share my ideas and learn from others as well.
