Weekend Summary: Introducing A Brand New Opportunities Board from Lagos Meet
Hey everyone,
We’re entering a new chapter at Lagos Meet — one where we aren’t just celebrating exceptional creators, but actively push more people to become one.
Yes, we’ll keep spotlighting the talented Nigerians doing brilliant work. But it’s now become very clear that to truly grow the creative scene in Nigeria, we need more people stepping up — we want to inspire every Nigerian creator to strive for excellence; in both our work and our character.
Our best creators are leaving because they can’t find the support and opportunities they deserve here. If we don’t raise the bar—both in the quality of our work and the integrity with which we do it—we’ll keep losing great talent to other markets. We need more of us to step up now, so that Nigerian creativity becomes a reason to stay, not a reason to leave.
So here’s what we’re now going to be doing:
We’re going to double down on community — through regular hangouts, live conversations, and our signature ‘round table conversations’ where anyone in the community can share what’s on their mind. We’ve always believed the best way to get to the heart of any issue is by bringing the right people together, online and in real life.
We also know that creativity looks different for everyone. Some of you are just starting out, others are deep in your careers, and many are somewhere in between. That’s why we’ll be sharing resources and opportunities that meet you where you are — whether you’re a student, a creative executive, or a hands-on maker. And to this end, we’ve launched our new opportunities board at opportunities.lagos-meet.com.
We’re starting with something straightforward but impactful: a board filled with jobs, gigs, and openings you can apply to right now. If you’re hiring, send us your listing and we’ll connect you with talented creators from our community.
