Happy birthday to my superwoman - my wife and the mother of our adorable twins, @mohiniufeli ! ❤️🐥 As you turn 33, your year of alignment, I thank the Almighty for how your life continues to come together - as a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a professional, and a creative. I pray that your path continues to open in good ways, and that your lot keeps falling in pleasant places 💚🙏🏾 I love you mucho, and I’m grateful to God for the gift that you are 💝 Happy birthday, my love ❤️🐥

Earth day is 22nd April every year, but what if we gave it one extra day? or two? a week? a month? a year? Perhaps everyday? 🤔 Would that be unreasonable for a planet that gives itself everyday to us? 💭 We don’t think so. That’s why we @akankastudio @sanctuariesofnature @ekondolife @greenercitiescollective are taking responsibility for Earth by slowing down to connect people back to Nature — One person at a time, one space at a time, one city at a time 🏡 Because when people care for Nature and are grateful for it, they inevitably care for themselves, for each other and for the Earth ❤️🌳 Make Earth Day everyday, and the world a better place by connecting to Nature and its lessons today 💚🌍 ____ 📸: #shotoniphone by @chineezeks

At #BIP2025, Chine(@chineezeks ) and Chuba (@chubaezeks ) Ezekwesili delivered a nature-inspired, science-backed framework for designing your mindset, built from lessons learned in their garden during the 2020 lockdown. Their big idea: slow down, give gratitude, take responsibility. Three steps that completely transform how you navigate anger, anxiety, and every emotion in between.

#Throwback to Big Ideas Platform 2025, where three ideas challenged how we think about the most powerful organ we own, and the bodies that carry us. @a.s.nevin , dropped a truth we couldn't unhear: you are the architect of your own brain. Your habits, your multitasking, your sleep, every choice is building or breaking the brain you lead with. @funke_treasure , broke open what too many have ignored, the deep link between menstruation and mental health, and the silent torture millions of women can't put into words. @chineezeks & @chubaezeks took us to their garden, and gave us a framework for life; Slow down, give gratitude and take responsibility. You are the designer of your own mindset. Big Ideas Platform 2026 is Here.

We’re excited to officially launch Greener Cities Collective 🌳 Greener Cities Collective was born from a shared vision by @akankastudio @ekondolife , @edenbotanical_garden , and @uzoma.studio to reimagine our cities and communities as greener, healthier, and more sustainable spaces. Through eco-garden creation, tree planting, and the promotion of sustainable living and working environments, we are taking practical steps toward that future. In just the past 12 months, we have: 🌳 Planted over 100 trees 🌿 Established 10+ school gardens 👩🏽‍🏫 Engaged and educated 200+ students 🌱 Trained and inaugurated dedicated tree guardians 🤝 Collaborated with Climate-change organization, FCT Abuja And this is only the beginning. As we grow, we’re looking to partner with corporate organizations, communities, and changemakers to drive meaningful social, economic, and environmental impact—locally and beyond. Join us on this journey to build greener cities and a more sustainable future for all. #GreenerCities #Sustainability #ClimateAction #urbangreening

This year, I wondered whether to share my personal birthday note to @chubaezeks . In the end I decided to lean into celebrating my loved ones out loud and sharing what I appreciate about them. It also happens to be the heart of this video. Here goes ☺️ Happy Birthday My Preciousss ❤️🐥 And welcome to your first birthday as a father 👶🏾 👶🏾 I was scrolling through my gallery, pulling clips for your annual video recap, and I just got stuck watching you (That’s why the video is taking so long 😂) Because 90% of my archive is you being a Super Dad. Dancing while carrying babies. Dancing while feeding babies. Beatboxing to babies. Changing diapers (with the occasional dance during this high-risk activity 😂) Beyond the ceaseless dancing, in this new era of you as dad, you've been my steady, generous, and untiring rock. Parenting with you has felt easy, not because we're never tired (we are always tired), but because the energy you bring makes the journey joyful. With your perspective, there's something to be grateful for through all the episodes. Something to laugh about and enjoy. You show up before I even have to ask "I've got the night shift." “I’ll change the diaper.” "Give me Fifi/Bubu" "Have you eaten?" "What do you need?" Thank you for keeping me your baby, especially now that we have actual babies 😁❤️ As you step into your first official age as daddy, welcome to fatherhood! You wear it so well 😍😘😋 You're an incredible dad. An incredible husband. An incredible man! And you deserve all the love, peace and joy this new season holds. Happy birthday my lurrrve! My Gift from God that keeps on giving 😘❤️ With so much love, from Fifi, Bubu, and me ❤️🐥

On the latest episode of #createyoursanctuary, watch how I saved and elevated our broken Rattan couch by layering it with art 🏔️🌲☁️ This couch, a thoughtful gift from a friend moving out of the country, had seen better days and was in need of repair. Instead of discarding it, I transformed it: I converted our babies’ Huggies carton into a landscape artwork and layered it over the surface of the couch, giving it new life and character 🤩 What started as a broken piece became a centerpiece of creativity - a reminder that even objects that seem past their prime can be transformed with a little imagination and care. Sometimes, the obstacles in front of us are just invitations to create something unexpectedly beautiful 💚

On the latest episode of #createyoursanctuary, I took on a new creative upcycling project and transformed our babies’ Huggies carton into a landscape of a mountain, forest, birds, and clouds 🏔️🌲☁️ The meaning behind this piece is simple - the obstacle is the way. Every mountain can be climbed when we: 🔴 Slow Down and take one step at a time 🟡 Give Gratitude for the progress made and the lessons along the journey 🟢 Take Responsibility for moving forward, one step at a time Reflect: Think about a challenge you faced this year. How did you climb and move past it with intention? Look forward to my next video, which will show where this piece ends up 🏔️

“See how you’re glowing! Pregnancy didn’t humble you. You humbled pregnancy.” - a friend 😂 March 15, 2025 This morning, I reflected with @mohiniufeli on her pregnancy earlier this year. It wasn’t 100% smooth sailing but she navigated the difficult times with strength and a smile on her face. I’m deeply grateful to God for that inner fortitude - the kind she sometimes forgets she has, and the kind I find myself reminding her of 😜. So yes, @mohiniufeli , remember that if you could navigate twin pregnancy with complications - and still glow throughout - there is nothing you can’t overcome ❤️🐥 📸: @chubaezeks

On this episode of #CreateYourSanctuary, @mohiniufeli and I create our mini-cactus Christmas tree 🎄 Steps: 1. Declaw the cactus with a scissors ✂️ 2. Add accessories 🎁 3. Add lights 🔅 And as always - at Sanctuaries of Nature - each accessory has a meaning 🌟

At @startupfesthq , I got to do something I enjoy: mentoring founders on building a high-performance culture ⚡️. Here are the top 10 lessons I shared based on questions I was asked.
