Almost everyone thinks of Egypt when it comes to pyramids but one forgotten kingdom outnumbers the Egyptian pyramids by far.

On the 24th–27th of this month, I had the privilege of participating in the IC4D Hackathon at the Center for Afrocentric Design Advancement (CADA), AUST, representing Arrowhead International Integrated Services Limited as part of Team Arrowhead.

I am incredibly proud to share that Team Arrowhead emerged as the WINNERS of the competition🏆

Throughout the workshop, we were challenged to rethink how homes can be designed and constructed through Industrialized Construction (IC) — developing solutions that are faster, more efficient, affordable, locally relevant, and responsive to the realities of our communities.

I was particularly pleased to be introduced to the research-driven and culture-inspired work of @cpdi_africa , who collaborated with @simi.aluko, a PhD candidate at Stanford, for this workshop. Ms. Aluko is “a pristine example of what Nigerian excellence represents on the global stage”, and her research is both important and necessary.

One of the most valuable aspects of the experience was working directly with the artisans assigned to us. It was a powerful reminder that architecture does not end with drawings or ideas. The success of any construction ultimately depends on the people, skills, materials, and processes that bring those ideas into reality.

A big kudos to my teammates, the artisans and the brilliant construction professionals from the other teams. An even bigger thank you to the organizers for putting together such a thoughtful and impactful workshop.

Always grateful for the journey. taken in African University of Science and Technology-AUST, Abuja by @theseembernaze

One man’s chickens led him to discover an entire city. If you discovered a strange pathway in your home, would you explore?

So delighted to share that “DEEP DIVE ARCHITECTURE” with $em was NOMINATED for an award at the NIA ABC Architecture Awards under the MEDIA AWARDS category. The Nigerian Institute of Architects(NIA) is a top professional body of Architects in the country and this recognition is an incredible honor.
In addition to this wonderful news, DDA with $em was also FEATURED at the 42nd general assembly of the Abuja chapter NIA.

Words feel too slight to express the gratitude and delight I feel having my work acknowledged by seasoned professionals in my field in such a short period of time.
No civilization exists without its history and I have always felt strongly that the stories, human ingenuity and heart of innovation that surround Architecture and the built environment deserve to be part of everyday conversations and not limited to studios and professional circles.

Ultimately, the goal is to do better documentation, uncover more stories and do so in real time through travel to heritage sites across the world.
Extremely proud to be one of the voices platformed, thankful to God, my family and everyone who supports, appreciates and engages my content. Special appreciation to the NIA Abuja chapter for its commitment to celebrating excellence in Architecture and its contributions to our invaluable profession.
Diving even deeper from here onwards! The only way is up🚀 taken in Shehu Musa Yar'adua Centre, Abuja by @theseembernaze

Women don’t just need applause. We need advocacy. The recommendation. The referral. The introduction. The “She’s ready.” That’s how careers change.
That’s why this African Women’s day, I’m joining the @gatefieldssa #MatchTheTrust campaign because belief in women’s leadership should be matched with real opportunities.

Before it became the tallest building on Earth… it almost became a disaster. 🇦🇪 Crashes. Debt. Impossible engineering problems. The story behind the Burj Khalifa is almost as unbelievable as the tower itself.
