Thank you, Ada. Truly, thank you. Last year’s Asafotufiami was a special experience for me and my family but this year’s celebration was something else entirely. I’ve been privileged to receive warm receptions in many places I’ve visited. But you, Ada, have always given me more than just a welcome: you have opened your doors […]

If there’s anywhere to be this weekend, it’s Ada. Every street here has been painted in the colours of history, tradition and heritage, as people have come to celebrate this year’s Asafotufiami. As you take part in this year’s celebration, I hope you experience the joy, pride, and spirit of Ada. Asafotufiami is not just […]

There’s so much silent work you have to put in that nobody will ever know about. It comes with zero applause. No praise. No support. It’s just you and your ideas, discipline and vision. But one […]

“Don’t play with your finances. Life is merciless to a poor man.” That may sound a little inconsiderate but it’s the truth. The world doesn’t slow down for anyone who mismanages their money.
