Kwese and Strive Masiyiwa

Raising Entrepreneurs in Africa.

I recently got in touch with an Entrepreneur via his Facebook page. He posts articles weekly. Someone referred me about 2 months ago and since then, I have been hooked. Here is the link to his page. https://web.facebook.com/strivemasiyiwa/?_rdc=1&_rdr. 

The Entrepreneur is Strive Masiyiwa. He owns the Econet brand. when I hear the word 'Econet', I think of a GSM brand that ran away from Nigeria but there is more to that Story. The brand was forced out as a result of some corrupt practices by some government officials. James Onanefe Ibori comes to mind when I talk of this. 

Strive recently started the Kwese TV platform. Something like the DSTV where you have a decoder and a dish that receives signals. The company also has an app. If you search for Kwese TV on Google Playstore, you are sure to find it. 

Here is the reason for this.

There is a channel on the Kwese TV called Kwese Inc. It is all about entrepreneurship. There is no channel presently showing in Africa that rivals this. Not even DSTV matches up to this. I remember HiTV took over the sports channels by getting a license before DSTV could at a time but DStv took over about 2 years later. I believe this will be a strong point for Kwese TV. Imagine talking business or business related things all through. CNN launched the 24 hours News channel about 37 years ago.  Same with Kwese Inc. I would like to get the Kwese for the Kwese Inc channel alone.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
