Quite simply, "No Evidence" is a vibe. I premiered my latest single with a live performance at my recent 2-day web3, music and wellness festival 'VIBES WITH DR ADAKU 2.0' (December 2023).
A vibrant and soulful track that seamlessly blends the energetic rhythms of Amapiano and Afrobeats. Sung in Pidgin, a language that speaks to the heart of Nigeria's dynamic culture, this song is a bridge between my British-Nigerian heritage and the world. "No Evidence" is all about the vibe. It captures a unique essence, a rhythmic pulse that invites listeners to feel and move with each beat.

- **OPEN ACTION TIPPING ENABLED FOR VIBES WITH DR ADAKU 3.0** 😎 How do you summarise 2 days of greatness? I’ve been thinking about this a lot! 3 weeks ago, on 29th-30th December, 2023 ‘VIBES WITH DR ADAKU LAGOS 2.0’ occurred in Nigeria and it was truly everything and more. A music, technology (web3) and wellbeing festival with a twist! The impact was clear and so rewarding.
On day 1, we had rust-based Aleo coding workshops with 100 software developers. It was a day full of excellence: multiple workshops primarily consisting of technical coding workshops educating devs on building ZK blockchain apps on Aleo which were 'learn and earn'. @lens/alysiatech and I put our heart and soul into everything and it was truly so rewarding to be able to do this in Nigeria! The education and engagement didn’t stop after day 1, we’ve been doing troubleshooting, more education, code reviews and connecting everyone to more learn and earn opportunities with projects like 'Puzzle' who also did a workshop on the day. Thank you to Aleo for making this a reality, shoutout to Izzy too, their Nigeria ambassador!
We had all sorts of developers from smart contract devs, web2 devs, creators, even musicians who also code! As well as the coding workshops we also had: monetisation workshops led by Victoria Ajayi - Chief Financial Officer at TVC, group therapy led by Lagos based therapist Sandy Brown, meditation led by Good Faith Yoga, free food, drinks, snacks, merch, networking, games and so much more! That was just day 1! On day 2 - the concert/vibe/creator day- we had performances, my full set, body art, health/wellbeing and natural hair panels, games, giveaways and so much more (video coming up next!)
This lens post has some cool features activated!
**Split revenue** - with Alysia!
**Open action tipping feature enabled** - Alysia and I are continuing to build up with developer and creator ecosystem and economy in Nigeria (and the worldddd!) - watch this space!

- DR ADAKU - daalu (Visualiser) 📺
Happy 30th birthday to meee 🎂💖 I created a wholesome visualiser for my song "daalu" as a birthday thank you! 🎁 As a reminder, the word "daalu" means 'thank you' in Igbo and I’m not really much of a birthday person but I just wanted to say, I’m forever forever forever grateful! Gratitude is a must and Little Miss Adaku would be sooo proud of Dr Adaku, I’m literally doing everything she ever dreamed of 🥺

- Delivered a 3-hour workshop at Oxford University on the topic of ‘Wellbeing for Changemakers’ - 6th July 2023 with the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Saïd Business School #MapTheSystem! Spoke about everything from burnout to having an outlet to purpose to stress and more. One of the key narratives is always the prioritisation of wellbeing and integrating small actionable daily changes that add up to make a positive difference, especially in the context of social impact entrepreneurs as you need to look after yourself to look after the world! Forever proud to be a Skoll Centre fellow and a postdoc at Oxford University. I always say, my purpose is to improve the wellbeing of society 💕
