Thought leaders from
different spheres of life who are adept at applying native intelligence to
solve problems would meet at the 2017 edition of TEDxIkeja to offer panacea to
a world troubled by myriad of challenges.
TEDxIkeja is a TED New York
licensed conference. It tells native stories and showcase unusual ideas worth
sharing to inspire people to change their lives, communities, and the world.
Annually, the forum attracts thought leaders who offer innovation, enterprise,
and optimism as antidotes to global challenges.
Themed where do
we go from here, TEDxIkeja 2017 would dissect the various ugly
incidences that are occurring in Europe, Asia, USA, and Africa, and offer
native solution to these incidences through storytelling
techniques.
In a statement released by
the curator and organiser of TEDxIkeja, Ademola Adeshola, the world is at a
crossroads and the present crop of leaders have not provided solutions to
terrorism, terrorism financing, recession, food shortage, tsunami, and global warming.
“The fang of terrorism has
sunk deep into the social-political structure of the world system while
immigration has become a burden. Technology is disrupting everything. The new
world has not spared our belief systems, culture, and philosophy. Yet the
dividing lines between the truth and facts has blurred”, Adeshola said.
Expatiating on the thought
leaders expected on October 14 at the forum, Adeshola said TEDxIkeja
2017 would aggregate ideas that facilitate new thinking. Such ideas include
social reputation algorithm, suspended thinking, soft power, visual metaphor,
Lassa fever detecting kits, something for the girls, stories from Internally
Displaced Persons [IDP] and in need of ideology.
“We are fighting for the
rights of everything and everybody from climate change, gay right to job cut.
It feels like the history of humanity is swallowed up by liberalism”, Adeshola
said.
He added that those
expected at TEDxIkeja 2017 are the CEO of Inlaks, Femi Adeoti; CEO of Quadrant
Company, Bolaji Okusaga; Head of Digital banking, Alat, Dele Adeyinka; winner
of Big Brother Naija reality show, Efe Ejemba; MD/CEO, Studio 24, Ifeanyi
Oputa; CTO, Social Lender, Bade Adeshemowo.
Others include Visual
Artist, Visual Collaborative LLC; Comic Republic, spoken word artist, Cherry
Enterfield and other thought leaders that would share native intelligence at
the event.
Mo Abudu, Joe Odumakin,
Tunji Olugbodi, Yele Okeremi, Deremi Atanda, Kenny Black, and Deolu Akinyemi
are among previous speakers.
