In my two years of working in the #energytransition, I've come to firmly believe that renewable energy is the key to Africa's future. By 2050, our continent is expected to be home to 2.5 billion people, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions. The lack of access to energy and widespread energy poverty is significantly impacting people's lives and hampering overall development. Shifting our focus towards renewable energy is pivotal not only in addressing this challenge but also in creating jobs and strengthening local supply chains. In countries like #Nigeria, embracing renewable energy could result in a substantial increase in job opportunities, potentially generating 3 times more jobs compared to the fossil fuel industry. Prioritizing renewables is essential to drive economic growth and provide employment prospects, particularly for our youth. I read that investing in Africa's renewable energy sources could lead to a 6.4% higher GDP and an impressive 25.4% higher welfare index by 2050. However, it's disheartening to note that Africa has received only 2% of global investments in renewable energy, despite being home to about 20% of humanity. We urgently need to mobilize more investments into Africa's energy transition to pave the way for a sustainable and prosperous future. #africa #investment #energyaccess #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #climateaction #youthemployment

🇳🇬 'Nigerian's are the most educated immigrant group in the United States!' (MPI, 2022) You do not believe me? Let me challenge you! ⏭ Ask three people in their circle where their lawyer, their surgeon, the owner of the tech start up, their child's teacher, their business mentor comes from (outside of their home country of course). I bet a 100 bucks that the answer is ... 'originally from Nigeria'! 🇳🇬 Over the years of doing business in Africa I traveled and done transactions in over 25 of them... where ever I go I find at least one Nigerian who is 'ahead of a the pack! If you go the the US, the UK, even to my father land Germany... you will find Nigerians striving. Why is that? Well, to me this doesn't come by surprise....because... Nigeria = plentiful Nigeria = resilience Nigeria = never give up Nigeria = tomorrow e go betta The spirit of Nigerians is incredible and I usually say that you can place a Nigerian into any environment he/she will strive! Watch and see... 📣 This post goes out to all my Nigerian brothers and sisters. Tag a brother and a sister who have done well and made Nigeria proud. #nigeria #nowahala #africa #resilience #opportunity

As a Christian, and unashamedly so, I have often wondered what it means to be a Christian in the work place? I believe our everyday lives, including our careers/work are an opportunity to represent Jesus and show his nature and character to those we come in contact with. So what does this look like in a professional setting? For me, it looks like: - Being diligent & committed to my tasks (Prov 22:29, Ecc 9:10) - Striving for excellence in all things I do (Phil 4:8, Col 3:23 ) - Integrity; Consistency in character.( Matt 5:16) - Uplifting others through words of encouragement & leading with grace (Col 4:6, Romans 12:18, ) - Operating in divine wisdom; knowing what to do, when to do it and how to do it in a way that ensures optimal success (James 1:5, Prov 2:6, Deut 8:18) - Operating in unusual grace & favour (like Daniel & Joseph) - Spreading the love of Jesus by extending that same love to everyone I encounter irrespective with no bias to sexual orientation, gender, race or faith . (1 Thessalonians 4:11, Romans 12:18) We are Christ's ambassadors so let's represent him PROPERLY everywhere we go. How do you show up as a Christian at work or in your business everyday? Let me know in the comments! Have a great & productive week! #business #opportunity #success #work #careers
