    MIN S6E01: Why We Chose to Stay in Nigeria Despite Everything

    With everything happening in Nigeria, why did we choose to stay? Welcome to Season 6 of MiNibA: The Business of Building. In this opening episode, Akinfemi and Senami get personal about their decision to remain in Nigeria despite the challenges, opportunities abroad and the uncertainty of building a future here. But the conversation goes beyond staying or leaving. Are we building lives we genuinely want, or simply working hard to survive? Does making more money automatically mean a better life? And are our businesses giving us freedom or quietly taking it away? We explore japa, success, financial freedom, purpose and why we believe Nigerians have a role to play in building the country they want to inherit. It's an honest, sometimes funny conversation about choosing what matters and building something worth staying for. Here's our question for you: If you could leave Nigeria today, would you stay or go? Follow MiNibA on Spotify for more conversations about building meaningful lives, successful businesses and a better Nigeria. Made in Nigeria. Inspired by Africa.

    MIN S5E10:The Nigeria We Want Won't Build Itself

    Season 5 Finale Ten episodes, incredible conversations, big ideas and plenty of lessons. But after an entire season exploring Nigeria's challenges, one question remains: What are we actually going to do about them? In this fun, unscripted finale, Akinfemi and Senami reflect on the season, play Build It, Rebuild It or Bin It, revisit the SLIM VS framework and even get into a lively Michael Jackson movie review! Expect laughter, honest reflections, a little disagreement and a reminder that building a better Nigeria is everyone's responsibility. Because Nigeria isn't somebody else's responsibility. It's ours.

    MIN S5E09: Can Finding Your Purpose Help Fix Nigeria? ft Reuben Ovili

    What if you become everything society calls successful… but still feel unfulfilled? Money. Status. Recognition. Achievement. What happens when you have it all, but still don't know why you're here? In Episode 9 of miNibA Season 5, we sit down with Reuben Ovili, purpose coach and founder of Why My Life, to explore what purpose really means, how to discover yours, and why success doesn't always guarantee fulfilment. We also explore a bigger question: Can a nation without purposeful citizens ever reach its full potential? From discovering your unique value to building something that outlives you, this conversation might change how you see your life. ️ Episode 9: Can Finding Your Purpose Help Fix Nigeria?

    MIN S5E08: Why Nigerians Want Everything Sharp Sharp

    Why are Nigerians always in a hurry for results? From business and wealth to careers and nation-building, we explore our obsession with “sharp sharp” — and ask whether impatience is holding us back, or whether Nigeria has simply taught us that waiting is dangerous. We unpack strategic patience, the difference between patience and tolerance, why some things need time to compound, and the things Nigerians should stop tolerating immediately. Because maybe the answer isn’t simply patience. It’s knowing when to wait, when to act — and having the discipline to keep building.

    MIN S5E7; Nigeria's Schools Are Producing People Nobody Wants to Hire ft Alex Onyia

    Can Nigeria educate its way into becoming a first-world country? Alex Onyia joins Akinfemi and Senami for a powerful conversation about why Nigeria’s education system may be producing people the market doesn’t need — and what must change. From curiosity and critical thinking to technology, order, infrastructure and nation-building, Alex makes the case that education isn't just about getting children into classrooms; it’s about intentionally deciding the kind of Nigerian we want those classrooms to produce. If Nigeria wants a different future, perhaps we need to start with a different kind of education. Listen to Episode 7 of miNibA Season 5.

    MIN S5E06: We're Solving the Wrong Problems in Nigeria

    What if the things we blame for Nigeria’s problems aren’t actually the root cause? Five episodes into Season 5, we connect the dots: mindset, identity, broken systems, business structure, technology and resilience — and ask what really needs to change if we want different outcomes. From poverty and EVs to entrepreneurship and personal transformation, this is our mid-season reality check. Maybe the problem isn’t where we’ve been looking.

    MIN S05 E05: Nigeria Will Test You. Here's Why Some People Still Win. ft. Comfort & Temitayo

    Nigeria will test you. That might be the most honest business advice you'll hear today. In this episode of MiNiBA, we sit down with two inspiring Nigerian entrepreneurs who are building thriving businesses in one of the world's toughest environments. From navigating inflation and changing customer behavior to overcoming self-doubt, they share the mindset that keeps them moving when giving up seems easier. One lesson stood out: **Success in Nigeria isn't built on one secret. It's built on faith, consistency, resilience, and the courage to keep showing up.** If you've ever wondered whether your dream can survive in this economy, this conversation is for you. Because nation-building doesn't only happen in government. It happens every day- in bakeries, skincare brands, classrooms, small businesses, and ordinary people who refuse to quit. **What's the biggest lesson entrepreneurship has taught you?** Share it in the comments—we'd love to hear your story.

    MIN S05E04: Shift Your Identity, Unlock Your Freedom Ft Michael C. Ngene

    What if the problem isn’t money… but identity? In this episode, Michael returns to explore one of the most powerful drivers of growth: identity. How you see yourself shapes how you think, what you notice, and ultimately the results you create. From opportunity to behaviour, it all begins internally. We explore: How your brain filters reality and why you only see what you focus onWhy many people default to lack instead of possibilityThe link between identity, perspective, behaviour, and outcomesHow to consciously redesign who you are becomingWhy consistency is built on certainty, not motivation This conversation invites you to rethink how you approach success, growth, and opportunity. Key Takeaway: Change your identity → change your focus → change your results. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 02:50 – Understanding how your brain filters reality 04:00 – Identity and results 09:40 – The red car effect 12:00 – Designing a new identity 20:50 – Alignment and action 23:15 – From possibility to certainty Guest: Michael C.
