Here is the video of my Keynote Address at the Nigeria Diaspora Economic Conference (NiDEC) 2026 in Toronto, Canada.
Unfortunately, about 20% of the presentation is missing from the recording, possibly due to a technical issue. That missing section was particularly important because it explained the distinction between Money and Capital and provided the foundation for my central message to Nigerians in the diaspora: we must increasingly move beyond sending money home to investing capital at home. Money solves immediate needs; capital builds companies, finances infrastructure, creates jobs, compounds wealth, and advances communities.
The closing section was also not captured. There, I reflected on the prophetic mission embedded in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) slogan: “To Restore the Dignity of Man.” My message was simple: if Nigerians thrive abroad and increasingly invest in Nigeria, we can help restore opportunities, prosperity, and dignity across our communities.
