It's April! A confirmation that we're in<br />

the second quarter of <strong>2024</strong>! Have you<br />

done your own Q1 self appraisal? It<br />

could determine what and how you do<br />

things for the rest of the year.<br />

While you ponder on that, we're<br />

pleased to present Harry Olatomi<br />

Davies, more popularly known as 'Tomi<br />

Davies (TD), the influential and versatile<br />

'Africa's Top Angel' who's working<br />

assiduously with other investor-angels<br />

to maximise the capacity of young,<br />

innovative African entrepreneurs in<br />

order to change the decades' long<br />

narrative of Africa's ultra-dependence<br />

on foreign aid, products and services.<br />

'Tomi Davies and his colleague angelinvestors<br />

are ensuring that start-ups<br />

aren't bugged down by financial and<br />

structural constraints.<br />

In another breath, the lessons TD<br />

learnt from his late father, Chief H. O.<br />

Davies, a pre-Independence nationalist,<br />

stand out as key points of our chat with<br />

him. You have to read it up!<br />

Still on the subject of giving fillip<br />

to youth empowerment, we got Dr.<br />

Peter Ogudoro for this edition's "CEO<br />

Interview". For over three decades,<br />

Ogudoro has engaged in robust<br />

advocacy to replace rote-learning<br />

with open-minded, cutting edge,<br />

democratised education. His story<br />

shows that whether one is born with a<br />

silver spoon in one's mouth or not, good<br />

success is possible with revolutionised<br />

teaching methodologies from the<br />

primary level and onwards.<br />

As always, we have objective<br />

analysis of how policies of government<br />

and global or national developments<br />

affect us. One of such is the manner<br />

of unprecedented economic malaise<br />

wheeled-in by the last administration<br />

in Nigeria. It is captured in Dr. Chido<br />

Nwangwu's "Buhari, Tinubu and Nigeria’s<br />

Money". You should read it.<br />

Dave Baro-Thomas asks relevant<br />

questions in "Parliamentary System<br />

or Restructuring: A Country at Self-<br />

Inflicted Crossroad" just as Chief<br />

Victor Olenwunne's "Military Ethics and<br />

Nigerian Citizens" does.<br />

Dr. Harry Choms, our Contributing<br />

Editor, and Senior Correspondents -<br />

Damian Ikenna Ngere, Adebayo Afolabi<br />

and Tolu Akinruli - have various pieces<br />

you want to explore. Let's get going!<br />
