Last night will go down as one of the most eventful milestones in my quest for excellence in the music business scene. Glad to have completed my course from the @mbaforafrica for the prestigious cohort of #MBAForAfrica24 who I believe will bring more spice to the African music scene particularly the business and creative side of things. Special thanks to the team led by the Visionary @godwintom who founded this great program in 2020, now the program has run its five years term and I count myself especially privileged to be part of the last set of this initiative. Onto the 'Creative Business Academy for Africa' in 2026. I want to show appreciation to my mentor and sponsor @_graceymae for the grant to study for this program without it all this would not have been possible. Shout out to my dear @omacita_ for coming through for the graduation ceremony it meant a lot to me. To @fynnonye and @ellensnielsen you both made school fun, it was a pleasure connecting and working with you my dears. I admire and respect you beautiful and classy women, do watch out for them, they are going to reshape the Africa creative scene in the coming years and if you can start buying their stocks now. Now out to the next phase which means more work, growing TBN, #SolidTalkWithSolomonObi and my other given endeavours. Till then, we all are on a voyage of discovery to unearth the never ending infinite of knowledge.

I just got a grant to study at the prestigious @mbaforafrica known for raising the next generation of music business experts in Africa. I owe this opportunity to @_graceymae who has been a great mentor and sponsor all in one, encouraging me to chase my dreams in the music industry and putting in the required work. May God continue to bless and enrich your brand greatly Ma. Appreciations to the brain behind this innovative idea that is shaping the course of the music business scene in Africa, @godwintom you are an icon living Sir. #mbaforafrica #mbaforafrica24

It was truly a night with the greatest of all time, a moment in time graced with memories, history, snapshots, and wonders of the child who became a KING 👑, whose kingdom is beyond tribes. Special appreciation to @jaafarjackson for embodying the role of his Uncle Michael Jackson and giving it his all with his acting, singing, dancing and trail blazing performance. Much respect to the cast and crew though there were things that were left out, the truth is that it is impossible to fit in all there is to MJ in one movie and I'm glad there is a sequel in the works. True MJ fans are happy nonetheless with this movie, no matter the conspiracy and what the critics think, Michael Jackson is and will continue to be the best and greatest to ever do it in the world of music, video, short film, fashion, art, entertainment and pop culture. #michaelmovie #jaafarjackson
