The Mainland Hangout took place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Bukka Hut, Alagomeji, Yaba, and was hosted by Mr. Rasheed Jaiyeola.

The Mainland Hangout was heartwarming as members reconnected over good food, games, great conversation, and shared goals. Hosted by Mr. Rasheed Jaiyeola, the Founder of Bukka Hut, the event created a space for both celebration and strategy.

A memorable moment was the surprise birthday cake presented to all May celebrants, a thoughtful gesture made by the Network Vice President, Theodora Nwenyi. It was a beautiful reminder that we are not just about business, but also about honoring the people behind it.

Beyond the celebrations, the hangout offered depth. Members engaged in discussions about the direction of the Nigeria Chapter, brainstorming ways to build stronger connections and create more value across the network.

The highlight of the evening was a knowledge session led by Adanma Onuegbu on “The Power of AI in Business.” Her engaging presentation demystified artificial intelligence, showing members practical ways to integrate AI tools into their operations, regardless of business size or industry. The session sparked lively dialogue and left many inspired to take action.

The day ended with a group photograph, cake sharing, more bonding and photographs.

As we look forward to more regional hangouts across Nigeria and beyond, we encourage members to stay connected, get involved, and keep showing up, not just for events, but for one another.
