TEDxYaba Reboot: SegaLink, Deola Sagoe, Codebeast and More To Speak

The second installment of the hugely successful TEDxYaba conference is scheduled to hold on December 8, 2018 at Nikoms Event Centre, Edmund Crescent, Yaba.

This year’s conference, themed “Reboot” packs a repertoire of speakers who have attained notoriety and success in their various fields, and they will be delivering talks geared towards igniting the kind of thinking and ingenuity required for solving problems and breaking new grounds. Some of the confirmed speakers include Segun ‘Sega’ Awosanya, Christian Nwamba, Adeola Ade-Ojo, and Adewale Ajadi.

Speaking on the theme of the conference, Emmanuel Adegboye, convener of TEDxYaba says “If you’re passionate about positive change in Nigeria, it’s very easy to get tired and frustrated when you realise how seemingly insignificant your impact is in the grand scheme of things needed to fix the country permanently.

By ‘fix’, I mean moving the needle in a positive direction and setting us on a consistent path of undeniable progress, judging by globally accepted indices and metrics.

This has been my mood for the past couple of months but it’s time for a Reboot, and I’m very excited about the conversations this conference is going to ignite, and the changes that will follow.”

This year’s TEDxYaba conference also offers, for the first time, a TEDxYaba Women event tagged “Showing Up” on December 9th, after the international TEDWomen 2018 conference of the same theme holding from November 28 – 30.

This year’s TEDxYaba event promises a convening of women who are breaking out of the status quo, rising up and pushing boundaries to foster meaningful change.
