Nichole Yembra is a force of nature in the African tech ecosystem. As a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and an Obama Foundation Leader, she has overseen over $500 million in capital raises and fostered the growth of giants like Flutterwave and Max. In this deep-dive interview on Found Connect, Nichole shares the raw, unfiltered reality of what it takes to build, fail, and scale in Nigeria and beyond.Nichole discusses her transition from a high-flying career at EY in Atlanta and Brazil to becoming the "Chief Problem Solver" in Lagos. She opens up about the "Mamba Mentality" she adopted from Kobe Bryant—a relentless, competitive drive that pushed her to leave her comfort zone and redefine success. She explains why she dropped "loyalty" as a top value after facing a betrayal that forced her to start from scratch, and why she now prioritizes authenticity and curiosity above all else.This conversation goes beyond business metrics. Nichole talks about the physiological nature of emotions, the "cognitive loneliness" of leadership, and the power of female friendships. She breaks down why most businesses are actually not "venture-backable" and provides a masterclass for founders on the importance of timing, execution, and customer money over investor funding. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor, or someone looking for the motivation to "craft your life," this episode is packed with gems.From her early days as a "terrible child" jumping gates in Lagos to building 143—a wellness and Pilates sanctuary—Nichole's story is one of evolution. Learn how she balances being a mother of twins, a managing partner, and a creative spirit while maintaining a deep sense of gratitude and peace in the chaos of Nigeria.

"I was able to take my younger brother through university"Young Africans care about work because work is now the clearest route to mobility. In this episode of Limitless Africa, Claude Grunitzky explores how American tech platforms are transforming opportunity across the continent through remote work, AI upskilling, and online networking.Nicola Lyons explains how Andela evolved from a Lagos founded fellowship into an AI native data and services company supporting global enterprises. Koffi Kelvin, an engineer trained through Andela, describes how remote work makes it possible to contribute to companies like GitHub from Nairobi while earning above local market rates. Preston Ideh argues that Africa must not become only a consumer of AI tools and should move earlier in the value chain by building talent and products.

If you ever needed proof that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is less a museum and more a cultural argument with a gift shop, Episode 13 of On The Record opens by doing what the institution does best: stretching the phrase “rock and roll” until it politely accommodates everyone from Wu‑Tang Clan to Shakira, with a quick stop at INXS (or, as Michael once heard on the BBC, the new Australian sensation “Inks”). Brian runs through the 2026 nominee list like a gig guide for the afterlife—The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Phil Collins (solo, because apparently we're double-dipping now), Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, New Edition, Pink, Luther Vandross—and lands on the question that always makes the Hall quietly hilarious: who is this for, exactly? Michael's baffled by the ceremony mechanics (do nominees really “turn up hoping”?), while Brian reassures him it's not quite the Oscars, before casually dropping the detail that there's a public vote. Nothing says rock's rebellious spirit like “exercise our democratic right” via a link. The more interesting subtext, though, is what induction inevitably drags in: absence. Several nominees have key members who've died—Buckley, Michael Hutchence, Ian Curtis—prompting the kind of morbid logistics only a Hall of Fame can inspire. Michael wonders aloud whether New Order could be coaxed into a once-only appearance, and if so, would Peter Hook be anywhere near the bass, given the long-running fallout. Rock history, as ever, is part music, part family law. From there, the episode pivots into “telly as coping mechanism” territory.  Michael has started season two of Hijack, acknowledging (with Idris Elba's own executive-producer embarrassment) the inherent silliness of re-hijacking a man who has already been hijacked.  Brian, meanwhile, goes looking for light relief in bleak news cycles and discovers Resident Alien—a show he'd dismissed as fluff until it turns out to be fluff with enough teeth to feel like therapy. The alien-in-a-small-town premise becomes an excuse for a few sharp jokes about humanity's trajectory. But the main event is the week's shared homework: Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the new documentary spanning the years between the Beatles' breakup and Lennon's murder.  Brian begins with dread—opening on “Silly Love Songs” is hardly a confidence-builder—but both hosts admit the film wins them over. They praise the craft: strong editing, collage-like imagery, and an effective “no talking heads (but their voices)” approach. Then they do the responsible thing and ask the awkward question: how honest can a documentary be when McCartney's own company financed it? Their answer is satisfyingly unresolved. Michael argues it's “warts-and-all enough” to avoid feeling like a total snow job—especially when the film lets other musicians (Nick Lowe, Chrissie Hynde) politely wonder what on earth Paul was thinking during the early, patchy years.  Brian agrees McCartney produced plenty of throwaway material, though he'll still go in to bat for Band on the Run and even dares to defend “Coming Up” (which Michael treats as a personal affront).  They both wish the doco lingered longer on the Lagos chapter, one of the few moments in the Wings story that feels like true risk rather than post-Beatles reputation management. The emotional spine, however, is Scotland. The documentary's portrayal of McCartney retreating to a remote farm with Linda is read here not as quaint pastoral cosplay, but as a survival strategy—grief, disorientation, and the sudden absence of the band-as-family.  The hosts talk candidly about parental loss, the Beatles as McCartney's “emotional prop,” and Lennon as the creative foil who kept Paul's “twee” instincts on a leash.  Linda comes out of it as both partner and lightning rod: necessary to him, mercilessly judged by everyone else.  Along the way, Brian remembers seeing Wings at the Myer Music Bowl in 1975 (yes, he was there), and the hosts revive Norman Gunston as the patron saint of awkward interviews—plus Michael's conspiracy theory that McCartney's infamous Japan marijuana bust may have been a deliberate exit strategy from a tour that Wings' hearts weren't in.  It's ridiculous. It's also, perversely, the kind of narrative logic rock biographies thrive on. By the end, the Hall of Fame is still a “broad church,” McCartney is still a genius with a questionable edit button, and Scotland remains the unlikely setting for both reinvention and retreat.  The biggest twist is that for two men who can't even land a sponsor, they spend 30 minutes proving the oldest rock cliché true: the past is never really over—someone's just nominated it.

1er septembre 1973, nous sommes au cœur de l'Afrique, au Nigeria, un pays étonnant dont les incroyables ressources en pétrole, gaz, fer et charbon ont produit une société à deux vitesses. Sa capitale, Lagos, est une ville étonnante, grouillante de population, polluée sous un climat tropical, et ceinturée de forêts luxuriantes.Alors qu'est-ce que vient y faire Paul McCartney, ancien leader des Beatles qui n'ont jamais vendu autant de disques avec les rééditions de tous les 45 Tours et des deux doubles 33 Tours, rouge et bleu ? Pas y fêter son premier succès mondial, Live and Let Die… Un triomphe, comme le film d'ailleurs, qui impose un nouvel acteur dans les habits de James Bond.Et bien figurez-vous que c'est encore une de ses idées à lui pour tirer le meilleur de sa créativité. Maintenant qu'il est bien rôdé avec un nouveau groupe, il compte y retrouver les grandes heures qui lui ont permis d'enregistrer des disques novateurs comme Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band, tellement génial que quelques jours après sa sortie, Jimi Hendrix, en faisait déjà un cover sur scène, Paul avait éprouvé un indicible frisson en assistant au concert.Et donc, il demande à EMI, la multinationale qui le distribue, où ils possédent des studios. Un peu partout dans le Commonwealth. Los Angeles, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Athènes. Oui, euh, vous n'avez rien de plus … exotique ? Exotique ? Attendez … Johannesbourg, Bombay, Hong Kong, Lagos … Lagos, c'est où ? Au Nigeria.Paul se voyait en touriste la journée avec son band, au boulot le soir et la nuit, ce n'est pas exactement ça qui se produit. Déjà, juste avant le grand départ, il perd son bassiste et son batteur qui n'ont pas envie de risquer leur vie dans ce coupe-gorge. On leur en a parlé de Lagos !Et donc, les Wings sont réduit à trois quand, sortis de l'aéroport, ils découvrent des rues encombrées et des trottoirs débordant de miséreux, de malades, errant devant des maisons délabrées … et un studio entouré de hauts murs protégés par des bouquets de fils barbelés. Ambiance. Un studio … pas exactement comme celui d'Abbey Road. Un matériel très ancien, des micros qui ont souffert, des pièces mal insonorisées où il règne une chaleur humide insupportable. Et si ce n'était que ça. Rentrant un soir avec Linda, Paul subit un vol à main armée, entendez-moi, les mecs ont des armes de guerre, et perd ainsi les cassettes démos de tous ses titres. Il est aussi dérangé par Ginger Baker, l'ancien batteur du groupe Cream et partenaire d'Eric Clapton, expatrié là-bas, et franchement menacé par Fela, pape du jazz africain, et surtout chef tribal, qui n'entend pas non plus qu'un ex-Beatle enregistre à Lagos sans son autorisation.Mais rien n'y fait, on n'arrête pas un passionné, Paul arrondit les angles, sympathise avec tout le monde et enregistre un album aux sonorités franchement nouvelles, la pochette d'ailleurs, fallait oser. Le disque fait un triomphe montrant que, contre toute attente, non seulement, il peut y avoir un “après Beatles” mais surtout qu'il en était la machine débridée à entraîner la création. Et un musicien de scène qui n'a depuis jamais perdu l'enthousiasme de se retrouver face à un public …

In cities across low- and middle-income countries, traffic crawls 24 hours a day. In Dhaka during rush hour, speeds average around 15km/h. At three in the morning, when the roads are empty, they average about 20km/h. Urban transport in the developing world is not only slow because of congestion. And so congestion policy, Adam Storeygard of Tufts University argues, gets you a small fraction of the way to solving the problems of urban transport in LMICs.That counterintuitive finding is one many themes in Storeygard's wide-ranging review of what research actually tells us about how people in LMICs get from A to B. From informal minibuses to bus rapid transit, from a field experiment in Bangalore that tested congestion pricing to the long shadow of colonial railroads still shaping African trade today, the picture that emerges is more nuanced and more interesting than many policy blueprints suggest. He tells Tim Phillips what the evidence supports, where it runs out, and why fixing the roads won't fix everything.The research behind this episode:Storeygard, Adam. 2025. "Transport in Low- and Middle-Income Countries." NBER Working Paper 34354. Forthcoming in a special issue of Regional Science and Urban Economics.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim. 2026.

Much of his work uses geographic and satellite data to study how infrastructure shapes where people live, how they move, and how economies develop.Research cited in this episodeAkbar, Prottoy Aman, Victor Couture, Gilles Duranton, and Adam Storeygard. 2023. "The Fast, the Slow, and the Congested: Urban Transportation in Rich and Poor Countries." NBER Working Paper 31642. The paper behind the Dhaka finding: assembling travel speed data across 1,200 cities in 152 countries, the authors show that cities in poor countries are roughly half as fast as those in rich countries, and that most of the gap is not congestion but structural low speeds in the absence of traffic.Björkegren, Daniel, Alice Duhaut, Geetika Nagpal, and Nick Tsivanidis. 2025. "Public and Private Transit: Evidence from Lagos." Working paper. When Lagos introduced a major new public bus system, informal drivers on affected routes left,  so bus frequency on those routes fell on net. The big benefit accrued to other routes that informal drivers switched to, where prices and waiting times fell. Winners and losers, not a clean gain.Franklin, Simon. 2018. "Location, Search Costs and Youth Unemployment: Experimental Evidence from Transport Subsidies." Economic Journal 128 (614). A randomised trial in Addis Ababa: providing transport subsidies to unemployed young people helped them search for and find formal jobs. Effects did not persist once subsidies ended, raising questions about how much the transport constraint itself was the binding one.Borker, Girija. 2021. "Safety First: Perceived Risk of Street Harassment and Educational Choices of Women." World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 9731. Women in Delhi attend less selective colleges than male peers with identical academic credentials, not because they are not admitted, but because of perceived harassment risk during the commute. Delhi university students overwhelmingly live with their parents, and the daily journey matters as much as the institution.Kreindler, Gabriel. 2024. "Peak-Hour Road Congestion Pricing: Experimental Evidence and Equilibrium Implications." Econometrica 92 (4). A field experiment in Bangalore, paying drivers to avoid congested areas and times. The finding: congestion pricing would produce only modest benefits in Bangalore because traffic density has a relatively moderate impact on speed there, meaning you would have to charge astronomically high prices to shift behaviour significantly.Jedwab, Remi, and Adam Storeygard. 2022. "The Average and Heterogeneous Effects of Transportation Investments: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa 1960–2010." Journal of the European Economic Association 20 (1). Shows how transportation infrastructure investments, including the legacy of colonial railroads built primarily to connect mines to ports, continue to shape where Africans live and how countries trade, with consequences that push African economies toward overseas rather than intra-regional commerce.More VoxDev Talks on this topicMichelson, Hope, 2026, “African agriculture's underappreciated supply side.” VoxDev Talk.

Makoko, přezdívané „africké Benátky“, je největší plovoucí slum na světě. Leží na laguně u nigerijského velkoměsta Lagos, přímo naproti luxusní čtvrti Victoria Island – jednomu z nejdražších míst v Africe. Kontrast mezi domy z prken a plechu postavenými na kůlech a mrakodrapy na protějším břehu patří k nejvýraznějším symbolům extrémní nerovnosti v Nigérii.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (27): O bicheiro Adilson Oliveira Coutinho Filho, conhecido como Adilsinho, foi preso na manhã desta quinta-feira (26) em Cabo Frio, na Região dos Lagos. A ação foi realizada pela Força Integrada de Combate ao Crime Organizado (Ficco/RJ), que reúne agentes da Polícia Federal e da Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro, com apoio do Ministério Público Federal. O governo do estado de São Paulo anunciou a liberação de R$ 10 milhões para apoio imediato às vítimas das fortes chuvas que atingem o litoral paulista em 2026. A Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Social (SEDS) informou que os municípios podem acionar os chamados Benefícios Eventuais, mecanismo ágil para atender famílias afetadas por alagamentos, deslizamentos e outras situações de calamidade pública. Um juiz federal dos Estados Unidos suspendeu a política do governo de Donald Trump que autorizava a deportação de imigrantes em situação irregular para “países terceiros”, ou seja, nações com as quais eles não possuem vínculo direto. A decisão judicial determina prazo de 15 dias para que o governo apresente recurso. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva se reuniu nesta quinta-feira com o líder religioso Ulisses Soares, em meio a críticas relacionadas ao desfile que o homenageou na Marquês de Sapucaí, no Rio de Janeiro. Levantamento da Paraná Pesquisas divulgado nesta sexta-feira (27) mostra empate técnico entre o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) e o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) em dois cenários de 1º turno. No primeiro, sem Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), Lula aparece com 39,6% das intenções de voto, contra 35,3% de Flávio. No segundo, sem Ratinho Junior (PSD), o petista marca 40,5%, enquanto o senador soma 36,6%. A margem de erro é de 2,2 pontos percentuais. No 2º turno, o filho do ex-presidente avança e fica com 44,4% das intenções de voto contra 43,8% de Lula. O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), ministro Edson Fachin, solicitou ao Executivo e ao Legislativo a indicação de representantes para compor uma comissão técnica que irá propor um regime de transição para o pagamento de verbas classificadas como indenizatórias, conhecidas como “penduricalhos”. A sessão da CPMI do INSS desta quinta-feira (26) foi marcada por uma confusão generalizada que terminou em agressões físicas entre parlamentares. O estopim foi a aprovação da quebra de sigilo bancário de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, o “Lulinha”. O ministro Gilmar Mendes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), afirmou que o inquérito das fake news tem “importância histórica” e classificou como “dramático” o início do governo do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) para a Corte. O decano declarou que sempre apoiou a investigação, aberta em 2019, que apura disseminação de notícias falsas, ameaças e ataques contra integrantes do tribunal. Pesquisa da Reuters em parceria com a Ipsos indica que a maioria dos norte-americanos apoia a deportação de imigrantes em situação irregular nos Estados Unidos, alinhando-se à posição do presidente Donald Trump. No entanto, o levantamento mostra desaprovação às táticas consideradas linha-dura adotadas pelo governo. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices.

Set in Nigeria in 1993, Akinola Davies Jr.'s elliptical, atmospheric My Father's Shadow is a portrait of a country on the cusp of a political crisis. We experience these events through the eyes of the film's young protagonists, two boys who spend a day in Lagos with their father. They're thrilled at the prospect of some quality time with their often-absent old man—but they also sense that there's trouble brewing around them, even if they don't understand all the details.  Film Comment Editor Devika Girish spoke with Davies, who just won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut for the film, about the extent to which he drew upon family memories while writing the script with his brother, Wale; how the crew recreated the textures, sounds, and feel of 1990s Nigeria; and why it was important to have a children's perspective at the heart of this story.

Today we're joined by Bruno Carvalho, Chair of the Program of History and Literature professor at Harvard University, where he teaches courses on cities. He is the author of The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World on the history of urbanization—from Lisbon to New York, Paris to Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires to Lagos and Porous City: A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro.

Kemi Badenoch is the Conservative MP for North West Essex and the Leader of the Opposition. Since winning her seat in 2017, she has held cabinet positions as Minister of State for Equalities under Boris Johnson and Secretary of State for International Trade under Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. She became leader of the Conservative Party in 2024 after Rishi Sunak's resignation and is the first black person to lead a political party in Britain. Her Nigerian parents came to Britain for medical treatment and Kemi was born in a private hospital in Wimbledon in January 1980. Her parents returned with their newborn daughter, and she was brought up in Nigeria in an affluent suburb of Lagos. After a series of military coups and economic downturns, her family, along with many other middle-class families in Nigeria saw their wealth decline and Kemi was sent to London to study for her A levels.Instead of following her parents into medicine, she chose to pursue Computer Systems Engineering and went to Sussex University.

Abiodun Oyeniran lost his sight completely at age 21. At 28, he finally makes it into the University of Lagos, only to realise the campus is not equipped to fully support the needs of blind students. So, Abiodun becomes an accidental activist, creating a grassroots system that helps visually impaired students navigate exams for 5 years—until the university decides his solution is a threat to their policy and shuts it down.Show NotesSources:2017 National Policy on Inclusive Education 2018 Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Prohibition Act2023 Study on Nigerian Visually Impaired Students' Computer SkillsThe TweetAcknowledgements:This episode would not be possible without support from Fondation CHANEL, Ford Foundation, and Luminate.Support the showWe can only do this work because of your support.

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome director Akinola Davies Jr. who talks about his powerful new film My Father's Shadow.A semi-autobiographical story set during a single, turbulent day in Lagos amid the 1993 Nigerian election crisis. Davies Jr. shared how the film draws from personal and collective memory, using an intimate family journey to explore a nation on the brink. The narrative follows a father, estranged from his two young sons, as they navigate the sprawling city while escalating political unrest threatens their return home — turning an already fragile reunion into a tense emotional and physical odyssey.My Father's Shadow is currently playing in theaters.Host: JamieMusic by: SammusEdited by: Jamie Broadnax

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 고향의 환상| Romanticizing Home: Two Months in Nigeria and What It Taught Me About Belonging — The One with Doc Ayomide | Episode 39 (2025)In a moment where diaspora conversations often swing between "I miss home" and "I'm never going back," what happens when you actually spend two months living—not visiting—in the place you left behind?This episode brings Doc Ayomide back to us on The More Siby podcast for an unfiltered conversation about my recent two-month stay in Nigeria. What started as a trip home became a masterclass in adaptation, comparison, and the uncomfortable work of holding two realities at once. We explore why we romanticize past lives from a distance, the classism we have been trained not to notice, and how obtaining a simple passport became a months-long ordeal that cost nearly a million naira and still has not been fully resolved.We also talk domestic staff, Lagos airport chaos, the five-year-old who is picking up "ọ" faster than expected, and why something about Nigeria's resilience makes American "breaking news" feel a little dramatic. Three weeks, we decided, is probably the sweet spot. Two months will teach you things you did not ask to learn. This episode will not give you closure. But if you have ever been caught between loving a place and being exhausted by it, between the version of home that lives in your chest and the one that charges you 250k for a letter, you will find company here.PS: Shout out to Nigerian teachers who reminded us what patient, collectivist education actually looks like. And to the government officers charging 250k for letters, we see you, and we are tired. Available now on all major podcast platforms.

Your heart reveals more about your performance capacity than you think. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Leah Lagos, clinical psychologist and performance expert, to explore the science of heart rate variability and how a simple breathing practice can transform cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. From working with elite athletes on the PGA Tour to coaching world leaders and executives, Dr. Lagos breaks down how resonant frequency breathing changes baseline heart rhythms, prevents cognitive fatigue, and allows high performers to make critical decisions without fear. This conversation will equip you with the physiological tools that separate sustained excellence from burnout. Here's what you'll learn: Why heart rate variability is a more reliable indicator of cognitive capacity than most people realize How 15 minutes of resonant frequency breathing twice a day can rewire your nervous system Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance Want to improve your performance? Start with your heart. ---- Show Notes: 02:58 – Dr. Leah Lagos explains the science of resonant frequency breathing and how it creates homeostasis in the nervous system. 06:20 – Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance. 12:06 – How chronic stress compounds over time and shows up reliably in your heart rate variability. 13:36 – The lifestyle factors that tank HRV: alcohol, dehydration, excessive caffeine, and who you spend time with. 17:59 – Why HRV training expands prefrontal lobe bandwidth and prevents cognitive fatigue under pressure. 22:35 – How resonant frequency breathing differs from meditation and produces measurable baseline changes in four weeks. 28:45 – The practical protocol: 15 minutes twice a day, finding your resonant frequency, and committing for ten weeks. 37:35 – The role of vagal tone in connecting heart, gut, and brain for better decision-making and health. 39:25 – Why breathwork is a must-have practice for longevity and sustained excellence, not just recovery. ---- Links & Resources: Dr. Leah Lagos Heart Breath Mind by Dr. Leah Lagos Oura Ring WHOOP Garmin Polar Alex Honnold ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Last year, a movie called My Father's Shadow made history when it became the first Nigerian film to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Set over the course of a single day in Lagos in 1993 (a day that happens to be one of the most catastrophic in Nigerian history), the film follows two young boys who join their father on a trip to the city so he can collect his paycheck. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on director Akinola Davies Jr.'s own family experiences. During the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, Akinola sat down with Tom Power to talk about memory, Nigeria's lesser known history, and the stuff you learn about your parents after they're gone.

In Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, authorities have demolished Makoko - the country's biggest informal waterfront settlement. The Lagos state government says some structures built beneath high-tension power lines pose a serious safety risk. But the scale of demolitions has left thousands of residents displaced and families say they were given little warning and no clear relocation plan. And in Sierra Leone, President Julius Maada Bio has announced January 18th as Remembrance Day for victims of the civil war. Between 1991 and 2002 the west African country's military alongside UN peacekeeping troops fought against rebel groups, resulting in the killing of thousands of people and displacement of more than half of Sierra Leone's population at the time.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine, Keikantse Shumba, Chiamaka Dike and Ayuba Iliya Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla
