Episode 8 – The Uli artist who designed the Biafra currency, Simon Okeke (1937–1969). This one runs deep: just a year after designing the currency, he died during the war. We shall keep remembering him. #uli #biafra #igboart #africanhistory #remembering

We Remember Our Fallen Heroes Today. Dear Igbo Nation, today marks 56 years since we tragically lost over 4.5 million Igbo brothers and sisters to the Nigerian–Biafran War. They gallantly fought and died so that we might live. 🕊️ Let's Retweet in their memory. 🙏

Today, I remember Biafra. I remember the millions of lives lost to war, starvation, and disease. I remember the families torn apart, the communities destroyed, and the generations forced to rebuild from the ashes of unimaginable suffering. I honor the soldiers who fought defending their people, and I honor the innocent men, women, and children who never made it home. Biafra Day is not just about a war. It is about remembrance, resilience, and the refusal to let history be forgotten. Despite the loss, despite the displacement, despite everything that was taken, we are still here. We endured. We rebuilt. We survived. May the souls of the fallen rest in peace, and may their memories never be erased.

We often talk about building products, ecosystems, and startups. 
But what happens when we focus on building humans first? @zuAfrique 2.0 has officially come to a close. Three weeks ago, we arrived in Kilifi, Kenya with a simple question: Can Africa’s builders allow themselves to feel? What followed was more than a residency or gathering. It became a space for honest conversations, shared experiences, deep reflection, collaboration, and human connection. From sessions and late-night discussions to spontaneous moments of stillness, people showed up fully not just as builders, but as humans first. And then there were the Circles. Spaces where people gathered without performance or agenda, simply to listen, share, and be present with one another. What happened in Kilifi is difficult to fully explain right now. But one thing is clear: something shifted. ZuAfrique 2.0 reminded us that innovation is not only about what we build, but also about the environments, relationships, and emotional safety that shape how we build. To everyone who attended, contributed, supported, amplified, and believed in this vision from afar, thank you. You are part of this story. #AllowYourselfToFeel #ZuAfrique2 #Kilifi

It’s been a week since ZuAfrique 2.0 came to a close ✨ And somehow, we still miss the moments we shared. There’s something about Kilifi we’ll carry for a long time. Maybe it was the people. Maybe it was the stillness. Maybe it was finally allowing ourselves to feel. Three unforgettable weeks at ZuAfrique 2.0. #AllowYourselfToFeel #ZuAfrique2

Unpacking the Igbo culture of apprenticeship and mentorship (Nwa’ boy), a session by @droidada . Tune in, learn more and share your perspective.

nwa-boy system is a system where young Igbos learn hands-on trade and business under mentors(uncles) and later receive settlement capital to start on their own @droidada explores how that can be replicated at scale to get value to trickle down and expand within African societies/spaces
