You guys are taking the piss 😂😂😂

On Friday, we shared our interview with the incredible Chinyere Obi on Substack, and the reception from our community has been truly amazing. At @LagosTUG, our goal has always been to build a space where everyone feels at home in the data world, whether you're based in Nigeria or anywhere across Africa. That's why spotlighting remarkable individuals like Chinyere matters so much to us. If you come across this post, please subscribe and share it with a friend or colleague who's looking for that next spark of inspiration in their data career or journey. We're on our way to 1,000 subscribers by the end of 2026, and every share gets us closer! Read the post now: lagostug.substack.com/p/spot…

My story as a Visionary from this part of the world has taught me one thing that has been important in making what we do visible to the global community: noise. Good noise. Being able to practically show what you have been working on, your approach to solving problems, and how you feel you can translate that to anywhere you find yourself is a huge way of exposing yourself to opportunities that would naturally have been harder to find. This is exactly why, through the Lagos Tableau User Group, our focus is to help amazing Tableau talents from Nigeria make this noise. Showcase our best talents and let the world see how much effort and driving change we can bring from this part. And nothing speaks more to this than the direction of our newsletter series: spotlighting Viz of the Day creators from Africa and having them explain the rationale behind how their community-celebrated visualizations came to life. Our first issue is out, and I think it is a must-read for everyone. Emmanuel Fakayode has done really well for himself since he became active in the community, and we are helping him amplify this noise.
