    The #NairaLifeConference was a raw dive into money, work & building a life in today’s Nigeria. From salary negotiations to credit, investing & social impact, speakers shared tools, tactics and stories that proved wealth is more than naira: It’s knowledge, discipline, & purpose.

    Zikoko Naira Life Conference was more than a Money Talk Conference for me. It was a life transforming experience. I heard, saw and experienced shifts that made me sit in my thoughts.
    A lot to soak in and act upon. A lot to let go of completely…
