This morning, we hosted two ALA Gladiators, Emmanuel Okpala (@ask_emmanuel), Creative Director at @deezeydigital and David Afolayan (@aforisms_), Co-founder at @technextdotng, for an experience-sharing session with the delegates of the 2026 #ALAMasterclass.

I am proud of these young founders. They were part of our premier masterclass in April 2018.

The edge is no longer talent alone—it’s how fast you evolve with it.
AI is reshaping creativity, scaling ideas, and redefining what’s possible.

Join Emmanuel Okpala @ask_emmanuel as he breaks down how AI is accelerating ideas, scaling creativity, and redefining what it means to win as a creator in Africa.

The real question is—will you watch the shift, or lead it?

Short story about how fast things have gotten.
Had an idea for this video, checked... nothing like it online.
Built it in a few hours.
First upload underperformed. Changed the hook → 1.5M+ views.
The gap between having an idea and reaching millions has collapsed.
Brands are still catching up. It’s why I’m bullish on Al, the people who move fast with these tools would have an edge in the market. by @ask_emmanuel

Apparently if you’re tall, you’re not built for long-distance running.
Same way I’ve heard “don’t squat if you’re tall.”

Everyone means well… but if you live by opinions, you never really find your own limits.

January I stepped on the scale, 110kg. That shock alone was enough to wake me up so I started running.

Anyways, yesterday’s run was amazing, survived the chaos to collect my medal 😄 S/O to @ovo_derhie for inspiring me to take on the challenge in January.

Turns out the body adapts when the mind commits.

Here’s to showing up… again. by @ask_emmanuel

A friend sent this to my WhatsApp from a 2017:2018 conversation with @iambellavictor 😅

Yes it’s been 8 years since we had this conversation in a studio location somewhere in Imo state and filmed by @fredrickenelamah, yet I’m blown away by how much of what we discussed has held up. by @ask_emmanuel

What I’ve seen over and over again is this:
one skill, learned and applied well, can change your life.

For me, that skill was video. It opened doors, gave me options, and helped me earn.

So this August, I’m opening up free 15-minute strategy calls for creators and beginner editors who want to:
🎥 Start building with content
💻 Learn how to turn editing into income
📈 Gain clarity on what to focus on next

Use the link in my bio to book .
