About Me

From Enugu, Nigeria to screens worldwide

Early Life

I grew up in Enugu, Nigeria, a place rich in culture and stories. From an early age, I was fascinated by how things worked—not just machines, but systems, people, and the invisible forces that shape our world.

My curiosity led me down many paths: from tinkering with electronics to devouring books about finance and technology. I didn't know it then, but I was preparing for something bigger.

“I didn't set out to be an influencer. I set out to understand how the world works.”

Journey into Tech

The tech world opened up new possibilities. I started creating content to share what I was learning—breaking down complex topics into stories anyone could understand.

What began as a way to document my learning quickly grew into something more. People connected with my approach: no jargon, just real talk about real technology.

Blockchain & Content Creation

When I discovered blockchain technology, everything clicked. Here was a system that could reshape finance, ownership, and trust—and most people had no idea what it actually meant.

I made it my mission to bridge that gap. Today, I translate the complex language of blockchain into human stories. I don't just talk about tech; I talk about how it empowers us, connects us, and changes our future.

Whether I'm speaking on a stage in Dubai or recording a reel in my studio, the mission is the same: to bridge the gap between art and technology, and to show the world what Africa has to offer.

“The mission is to bridge the gap between art and technology.”
