Recently I traveled to Lagos in Nigeria, to deliver motivational lectures, one in Lagos and then one in the capital, Abuja.

Click the radio mic to listen to the interview I gave on Nigerian radio show Inspiration FM with DJ Azubuke Osumili, or Azu for short.

Once the capital city of Nigeria, Lagos is the financial and commercial capital of Nigeria, is the third most populous city in Africa, and is estimated to be the second fastest growing city in Africa at present, and the seventh fastest in the world.

About to take off – I always try to fly British Airways.

I have performed my motivational lectures in many countries, including  South Africa, and I have lectured to a wide range of audiences, but this is the first time I have lectured in Nigeria. With all the travelling I do it is quite rare that I get to see a country, or even a city that I haven’t seen a number of times before.

Comfort! One of the reasons I always try to fly BA, the service is always great.

Great cabin crew, and lots of signed bent spoons.

What a fascinating trip! I’ve seen some incredible sights in Nigeria, I’ve met some fantastic and interesting people, I’ve delivered two motivational lectures to two great audiences, given a press conference on the power of positive thinking, no doubt I will be back to Nigeria.
