My most important AI transformation work yet happened during my recent trip to Kigali, Rwanda (October 4 to October 16), resulting in a system that can save ~500k hours annually for a ministry of finance, a central bank, and another government agency: lnkd.in/p/dX_qyy7c
Following the exceptional AI strategy work in November 2025 for a central bank, we were invited to Kigali for two weeks (April 26th to May 8th) to continue work on AI readiness, AI deployment, and responsible AI for the same central bank.

This phase of my life, I like it. Because on any random day, someone could message from any part of this planet, saying thanks for a job well done. I really like it. Glory be to God..🩷
Tonight we celebrate at the #CANEXWKND2026 concert, with Fally Ipupa and Flavour..🥳
Running this 'charity session' from 4 pm to 5 pm today, then heading back to base to prep for the concert... 🪇
Some of my mother's tenants saying we miss you,we miss you, I no say na lie, what they miss is that when I was here, the gen was always on when there's no light, and the water tanks were always full. They took it for granted, until the default state of uncertainty returned..😂
About this time last year, I planned a surprise birthday party that rewired my view of how a great couple go all out for each other. Till today, I still tell her how her actions towards her husband changed me. A great woman and a great man in a great marriage, my models.
The weight of this statement, "I know how to be poor, and I know how to be rich too", is heavy! Because it's not a 'head knowing'; it's the heart!
An elder saying, "Marry someone who knows how to suffer", is them saying ", Marry someone who knows how to be rich and poor"
Money, a very interesting and powerful force;
Yet, like water, it takes the shape of its possessor.
And if unchecked, can possess its possessor;
Possessions, possessions, the possessor is possessed.
Gratitude is the great check; the steward's heart
Keeps possession at bay.
I like that both of today's readings are about money; St. Paul in the 1st says, "I know how to be poor, and I know how to be rich too. I have been through my initiation, and now I am ready for anything, anywhere: full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty."
Attitude...💯
Even more incredible is his expression of generosity as an investment with an eternal dimension "It is not your gift that I value; what is valuable to me is the interest that is mounting up in your account"
But far more incredible is Jesus' story about using money to win folks.
First of all, do anything legitimate to have many money, or build skills that can create massive value, and then lots of money will follow. Because the act of making, keeping, and multiplying resources is in itself an opportunity for all-round growth.

The last stanza of the Persian Sufi mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi's poem, "Looking for Your Face", translated by Coleman Barks, reads as follows: "My arrow of love has arrived at the target. I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer."
One of the most beautiful things you'll ever see in this world is a person whose heart is a place of prayer, usually fuelled by constant gratitude!
They may not even be 'Christian', but their gratitude feeds an unshakeable joy; they live a life comparable to that of saints.
After Fally Ipupa and Flavour perform tomorrow, I don dey go house. Make dem do quick; bring them first, abeg!

Proper new music Friday, new albums from Umu Obiligbo, Cruel Santino, and L.A.X, The Only Lover Boy Left..🍿🎵
Whatever trauma Rolen caused you, @cruelsantino, go back for more! She unlocked your genius. Damn..🎶
Maybe I can relate because once upon a time, I met a girl like Rolen. Crazy and unforgettable, but trouble long-term.
Stream 49 just ended, with 170+ people, probably the biggest cohort I've met at this bank; 2 hours and 55 minutes. Unfortunately, I've been running on inverter since morning, like Wednesday! We cannot continue like this as a country... 😤
