Okechukwu Ofili is one of the few young Nigerians that has been able to combine his professional experience as a Design Engineer (graduated from University of Houston - Go Coogs!) with his love for art and writing.

His blog - Ofilispeaks.com is one of the few blogs focused on encouraging and empowering young Nigerians to take charge of their future. His imaginative prowess is unparalleled. He is also the founder of Okadabooks, a mobile platform that provides access to lots of e-books by Nigerian authors.

His blog articles are known for their humor, honesty and creativity in challenging the status-quo of work, life and family. They have consistently been featured in numerous online blogs including Bellanaija, YNaija and FABmagazine.

Ofili recently spoke at TEDx in Nigeria. Listen to what he had to say about our innovative abilities.
