Veteran comedian and entrepreneur, Atunyota Akpobome, fondly called Ali Baba, has urged Nigerians to deliberately develop their talents to attain commercial and societal value. Ali Baba, from a statement on Wednesday, gave this charge while speaking at the Life Guide Colloquium in Lagos. The colloquium saw brand strategist and leadership architect, Jide Adeyemi, present his book titled “Life Guide: Stories, Lessons and Insights to Empower Your Journey.

” Addressing the theme of ‘Influence Engineering’, talent alone is not enough, noting that individuals must continuously develop their abilities to the point where they become recognised assets. Influence is built when individuals intentionally nurture their potential until it becomes valuable and indispensable to society. Speaking on “Influence Engineering,” the comedian stressed that true success should inspire and empower more people.

“We are talking about mining your potential properly until it becomes an asset,” he indicated. “Potential is where to start from, but you have to develop it enough to the point where people begin to seek it for commercial or societal value. ” He stressed the need for Nigerians to appreciate and acknowledge people who create opportunities and contribute meaningfully to society, saying recognition encourages others to do the same.

Ali Baba maintained that recognising and rewarding positive contributions is essential for building a compassionate and progressive society where individuals are motivated to continue creating opportunities for others. Speaking, brand strategist Adeyemi called for purposeful and intentional leadership in Nigeria, stressing that the country’s major challenge is not a lack of capable leaders, but the absence of continuity, genuine concern for citizens and sustainable governance.
