Biography

A seasoned professional radio and television Broadcaster, Media Consultant, International Relations and Hospitality Management Manager, Motivational Speaker, Content Developer, Political Analyst, and British trained Security Officer.

As a very firm Pan-African, Joseph has been at the forefront of educating and campaigning for Africans to unite in order to realise an integrated Africa in trade, investments, and business within and amongst Africans.

Over the years, his relentless drive through his radio program “Wake Up Africa” breakfast show on the then Voice of Africa Radio London clamour for the realisation of the vision and proponent of most of our foremost pan-Africanists, such as Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and others who advocated for One Africa, Single Currency, Single Market, Common Defence System, Common Language (Swahili), and many other initiatives as measures aimed at developing and transforming Africa.

In other developments, Joseph is an ardent promoter of our arts and culture particularly as a Benin man from the Great Benin Empirical Kingdom, capital of Edo State, the Heartbeat of Nigeria which unarguably is described as the cradle of African civilization, home of culture, and the eye opener to the African world, Edo’Isiagbon, Edo2dworld. These are the custodians of the famous Benin artefacts and the globally renowned Queen Idia Mask emblem, which was the accepted or adopted face/logo for the largest world assembled Arts and Culture Festival dubbed Festac ’77, held in Lagos, Nigeria.

His love, passion, and promotion of cultural activities earned him the lofty appointment by the Edo State Government via the Ministry of Arts, Culture, Tourism, & Diaspora Affairs as Cultural Ambassador to the UK in 2017 and several other awards.

Joseph looks at the Africa Diaspora, pulling resources together in all ramifications to develop and transform Africa for the benefit of all. He sees the vision to create an avenue or a rallying point for the African Diaspora to key into the realisation of the AU vision 2063 – The Africa We Want and explore the abundant investment opportunities that the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) initiative in trade, business, tourism, arts, culture, heritage, real estate, architecture, banking, finance, fashion, foods, films, music, entertainment and lot more.

This is a realisable dream, Joe says, let’s make it happen.
