About Joseph

Joseph started advocating for young people to take action in their relationships early since college. He has led different sessions where he discussed the pursuit of happiness in simple everyday self-giving. As a writer, Joseph finds joy sharing and commenting on the impact and stories ‘Of Lagos and other Developing cities on Love’ for young people.

A hopeless romantic as he once called himself, Joseph passion for love and family had allowed him to write poetry pieces and short stories on both subjects especially on how broken homes affect children and the fear fear of it and other ‘unknowns make young people run away from the precious gift of marriage. Joseph spends most of his time, today, building products in the EdTech industry as the education of his children, siblings and grandchildren led him to pursue a career in communications, branding and product management in this sector.

His favourite books are Richard Wright’s ‘Black Boy’ and Jack Welch’s ‘Winning’.

Learn with a comprehensive curriculum

1. Communication

Communication IS at the heart of every relationship. In fact, most relationships slowly die when there is a communication barrier established by a ‘little’ fight. In this aspect of the session, you will learn the critical aspects of communications in building a relationship. I will share with you real life lessons and case studies on different communication styles and critical constructive communication.

2. Love Languages

We have all learnt about love languages in passing or even in critical conversations. There are great books that have been written by experts and bigger platforms created for this.

3. Fear

We will discuss fear and how it can slow down the entire relationship. We will discuss the different factors that influence fear and how we can manage them.

4. Dealing with the Unknown

The unknown is the major fears that stops young people from taking the bold step to relationship. In this lesson, we will demystify the ‘unknown’, establish if it is a myth and then see how we can use lessons around us to deal with this

5. Taking the Bold Step: Money is never really a problem

This is a difficult aspect of the relationship. There are over 1000 ways to do this. I will share case studies and blueprints on popping the question, and my own personal journey

6. Managing Outside Influences

There are several influences that do not even affect the relationship, why you are not ‘serious’ or no talks of engagements or marriage has happened yet. When marriage comes, the man and the woman struggle with a new identity, and managing everyone in between. This is a major test of the relationships. Most relationships will set up for failure if they do not manage this properly. In this session, I will share case studies from established relationships and a personal journey in a committed relationship

7. My Story

I will share with you my personal story from ‘thinking about it’ to ‘I do’ and how my relationship ended with a ‘Yes’ at the Raddison Blu Hotel in Ikeja. I will share what I thought about when making that decision and why you should not take this aspect of the asking the question lightly. How faith is important
