Speaking & Press

Commentary you can quote with confidence.

Sourced, plain-language analysis of Nigerian money and markets — from an MBA (Finance & Investment) who also runs a retail business through the same economy he explains. English and Hausa.

How to use me.

Media commentary

TV, radio, podcasts, and print — fast, sharp reaction to MPC decisions, FX moves, inflation prints, and reform announcements, translated to what it means for households and SMEs. Same-day availability for breaking economic news.

Panels & keynotes

Conferences and summits on Nigerian markets, investing literacy, SME finance, and Northern economic development. No motivational filler — every claim carries a number or a source.

Training & workshops

Financial-literacy sessions for organizations, cooperatives, and professional bodies — from "what is a T-bill" to building an SME cash-flow discipline. Plain English, Hausa where it widens reach.

Press quotes & data checks

Writing a story on the naira, loan apps, ponzi waves, or Northern business? I'll give you a usable quote, point you to the primary source, or tell you plainly the data doesn't support the angle.

Three things most
commentators can't offer.

Operator's receipts

I run a retail business in Kaduna. When I describe what a rate hike does to inventory financing, it's my own ledger talking.

The Northern lens

National analysis anchored in the North — the most under-served, under-explained economic region in the country's coverage.

Plain language, both languages

Complex policy in words a salary earner or trader actually uses — in English and Hausa. No grammar.
