ADE­MOLA AJIBOLA TO COMBINE CANDID CONVERSATIONS WITH LITERARY REFLECTION AT LAGOS EVENT

Nigerian entrepreneur and creative industry stakeholder, Ademola Titilopemi Ajibola, popularly known as Maya, is set to bring together candid conversations, personal reflections, and literature at the pilot edition of Let’s Be Real Conversation, alongside the official public presentation of his new book, Life As I See It (LAISI).

Scheduled for Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Proxy Lagos, Victoria Island, the gathering represents more than a personal milestone. It reflects Ajibola’s continuing interest in creating platforms that offer value, stimulate thought, encourage meaningful interactions, and leave participants with something more enduring than the experience of simply attending an event.

For him, value creation has increasingly extended beyond business and conventional event production into the development of platforms that connect people, exchange ideas, and create opportunities for personal and collective growth. The forthcoming engagement brings that philosophy into focus by combining the power of conversation with the lessons that can be drawn from lived experiences.

The pilot edition of Let’s Be Real Conversation is designed to create room for honest, thoughtful engagement around the realities of life. In an environment where public conversations can often be dominated by appearances, social expectations, and carefully curated narratives, the initiative seeks to encourage more authentic exchanges about the experiences, choices, challenges, and lessons that shape the human journey.

Complementing the conversation series is the official public presentation of Life As I See It (LAISI), Ajibola’s new book, which draws from his personal observations, experiences, and evolving understanding of life. The work offers an opportunity to explore the lessons that emerge from changing circumstances, human relationships, ambition, adversity, and the continuous process of personal growth.

By bringing the book presentation and conversation series together, Ajibola is creating a connection between ideas expressed through writing and those explored through direct human interaction. It is an approach that places engagement, reflection, and shared learning at the centre of the experience.

His work through Maya Awards Africa reflects an interest in recognising talent, celebrating excellence, and creating platforms for African achievement. The forthcoming gathering extends this wider outlook into the realms of personal development, literature, and meaningful conversation.

As the pilot edition of Let’s Be Real Conversation unfolds, the ambition is to establish a foundation for future engagements that place authenticity, intellectual exchange, and human connection at the heart of public interaction.
