On this episode of State of the Nation, Ade Balogun talks with Oseloka Henry Obaze, a former United Nations diplomat, former Secretary to the Anambra State Government and Anambra governorship candidate in 2017. Obaze argues that in 2027, voters in the South East, not the governors, will have the final say.

It now shapes how we bank, learn, farm, get treated in hospitals, and even how we vote. For Nigeria and its diaspora, the question is no longer whether AI will arrive, but whether we will be makers of this technology or only its consumers. In Episode 17 of Future Proof, host Ade Balogun sits down with Amos Tarfa, [title/organization], to look past the hype. Together they consider what AI really is, where it is already changing African economies, and what leaders, educators, and young people must do now to avoid being left behind. The discussion covers jobs and skills, data ownership, local innovation, and the policy choices that will decide whether technology closes Africa's development gap or widens it. Key Conversation Points Beyond the buzzword: What AI is, what it isn't, and why the difference matters for decision-makers. AI on the ground: Real uses in African fintech, agriculture, health, and public services, and where the gains are actually showing. Jobs and the workforce: Which roles are at risk, which will grow, and how workers can stay relevant. Education for an AI age: Why critical thinking, not just coding, is the skill that will set people apart. Who owns the data? Digital sovereignty, privacy, and the danger of Africa becoming a data source for others' technology. Policy and leadership: What governments should be doing now on infrastructure, regulation, and investment. Being future proof: Amos Tarfa's practical advice for young Nigerians, entrepreneurs, and the diaspora. Closing Line The future won't wait for anyone to be ready. Future Proof asks how we get ready anyway. Watch Episode 17 on the Atlanta Discuss Channel. Reshaping the narrative, one conversation at a time.
