Various Schools and Youth Events — Inspirational Speaker
I have spoken to student bodies across Nigeria including Triple Braid Christian School in Jos and various groups after NYSC and graduation. I tell them: "You are never too young to lead and you should never doubt your capacity to triumph where others have not." — Kofi Annan. There is a feeling of inspiration that comes from knowing that someone who was once in your shoes was able to cut through the challenges of your present moment. The beautiful minds we groom today are the minds that will spur the next frontiers.

Think Like a VC, Global Student Venture Challenge
Really enjoyed serving as a judge for this Global Student Venture Challenge. What stood out most was the quality of students' thinking across 14 countries. Evaluating venture opportunities requires more than enthusiasm. It demands structured reasoning, market intuition and the ability to separate signal from noise. Many participants demonstrated exactly that. Congratulations to the winners and all participants who adopted the mindset of investors and operators. Kudos to Rajeev Nayan Vaishnav and his team for creating a platform that pushes students to think rigorously about venture building and capital allocation.
