Creating multi-sector brilliance

My work creates transformative value for individuals, organizations and nations, expressed through tech, education, business & faith.

Shining Brightly in Multiple Worlds.

I personify God’s creative intelligence, powered by a grace that makes excellence and complexity look simple and achievable, because actually, they are. Phil 4:13

The different hats I wear on different days.

Innovation Catalyst

I inspire creativity and innovation in children aged 5–18 through coding and entrepreneurship, equipping them to launch their first startup before age 18. I develop learning resources and pathways for parents, teachers, schools, and governments to raise an innovative generation. I'm the author of Early Coding for Kids - Nigeria's first programming textbook for primary and secondary schools, alongside various courses, resources, and training programs on early innovation.

Transformational Entrepreneur

I created and lead impact-driven businesses in Tech and Education. I'm the co-founder of Brainy Hive Schools - a future-driven K-12 school working to raise a different breed of students in Uyo. I'm also the founder and CEO of Daveshoope - a software development and consulting company with two distinct products in EdTech and ChurchTech - SchoolX and SmartChurch powering schools and churches across Nigeria.

Consultant, Strategist & Trainer

I use my multi-sector experience and multi-disciplinary training to bring unusual insight, ideas and strategic perspectives that transform the future for individuals, businesses and organisations. I have multiple degrees from the fields of Science, Leadership, Education and Strategy, combined with multiple certifications. These allow me bring tremendous value to boards and strategic committees. I run coaching programs such the Personal Growth Accelerator (PGA), Exponential Growth and Reposition for Tech.

Consultant, Strategist & Trainer

Purpose Discovery Coach

I am passionate about guiding young people on their journey of discovering purpose and living a life of maximum impact. I run different layers of mentorship programs for boys, teenagers and young career starters, helping them achieve balanced and lasting success early in life.

Purpose Discovery Coach

Conference Speaker

I speak at conferences and meetings, and facilitate high impact trainings, seminars and workshops both nationally and internationally. My gift of teaching enables me simplify complex subjects and expand truths and principles to bring out actionable insights that transform individuals, audiences or entire organizations.

Missions Mobilizer

When I'm not in a business or board meeting, I am off to some unreached places to help people find their way to Jesus, or I'm somewhere mobilizing others to do same. I am the founder of Backseat Adventures, a project documenting the lives and stories of Nigerian missionaries and I serve as a Missions Pastor in my local church - Insight Bible Church among many other ministry and leadership roles.

It's okay to be many Things.

Have you ever felt like you’re more than the box people try to define you by? If you do, then you’re perfectly okay, because God has deposited so much in you that only one channel cannot sufficiently express. You don’t need anyone’s permission to bring out all that God has put in you. Be free to be many things. Don’t put a full stop where God intends to put a comma. You can be a professional, an entrepreneur, a minister, an artist, writer, singer and much more. Don’t wait for anybody’s permission to be you, because I’m not.
