  The Story Behind Resolve and Resolute.Young, bold, and on a mission — Bolaji Tinubu is the marketing consultant who believes every African brand deserves to shine. By Bolaji Oyindamola Tinubu  |  Founder & Lead Consultant, Resolve and Resolute. There is a fire in Bolaji Oyindamola Tinubu's eyes when she talks about brands. Not the passive kind of fire — the kind that politely admires a problem from a distance. The kind that refuses to sit still until something changes. For Tinubu, the problem is one she has witnessed up close, again and again: brilliant Nigerian businesses — full of potential, full of passion, full of genuinely great products and services — failing not because they lack quality, but because nobody knows about them. Or worse, the wrong people know about them. Or they are being presented in the wrong way, with the wrong message, to an audience that was never really theirs to begin with. "I kept watching great businesses shrink and disappear," she says...

          As African music continues to expand across global markets, Nigerian independent label TheCAPMusic is entering what insiders describe as a new chapter: one that builds on its producer-first foundation while broadening into full-scale artist development. Left to Right: (SPINALL, Ella Emeruwah, Tolulope Sodamola, Kizito Ibezim) The company first gained attention within industry circles for its early emphasis on producers, at a time when most labels focused almost exclusively on front-facing acts. Producers such as Killertunes and Stunna were positioned as central creative pillars, contributing to a period widely regarded as pivotal in the international rise of Afrobeats around 2018. But according to one of the company’s senior managers familiar with the label’s current direction, that phase represented a foundation rather than a final identity. Founded by globally renowned DJ, producer, and cultural curator SPINALL, TheCAPMusic was structured as a creati...

Oluwabunmi Ogunsemowo understands the financial realities of Nigeria’s event décor industry through lived experience, not theory. As a creative entrepreneur who has spent years executing high value projects that require international sourcing, specialised materials, skilled labour, and complex logistics, she has seen firsthand how limited access to finance constrains growth across the sector. Despite the scale and economic value of many décor projects, event creatives often remain excluded from formal financing structures that support other industries. Throughout 2025, Ogunsemowo has used industry conversations, panels, and professional engagements to advocate for greater financial recognition of event décor as a legitimate and structured economic sector. She has consistently emphasised that the industry goes far beyond aesthetics, involving planning, procurement, project management, storage infrastructure, staffing, and risk. “The biggest challenge we face is funding,” Ogunsemowo said...

   Education consultants have raised concerns over the increasing number of UK study visa refusals affecting Nigerian students, attributing the trend to weak financial documentation, poorly structured study plans, and growing scrutiny by UK immigration authorities. According to Grewn Agency, a Nigerian study abroad and visa consultancy with offices in Lagos and Ibadan, many applicants underestimate the level of detail now required to convince UK visa officers of their genuine student intentions. “A large number of refusals we see are not because students are unqualified, but because their applications fail to clearly explain why they are studying the chosen course, how it fits into their career progression, and how their education will be funded,” the agency noted. Industry observers say UK visa officers have become increasingly cautious, especially with applications coming from high-volume countries, leading to stricter assessments of applicants’ academic background, financial history...

    Every year, hundreds of thousands of skilled professionals graduate from universities across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. These are software engineers, data scientists, financial analysts, healthcare professionals, and project managers who have invested years into building real, marketable expertise. Many of them are ready to work at an international level right now. Yet when they apply for roles in the UK, the US, Canada, or Europe, the results often do not match their ability. Applications go unanswered. Interviews never materialise. And for most of these candidates, the reason is not a lack of skill. There is a gap between how they present their experience and how international hiring systems are designed to read it. This is not a reflection of anyone’s capability. It is a design flaw in how global recruitment works, and it affects talented people from every emerging market. The good news is that once you understand the gap, it becomes surprisingly ea...
