Hello and welcome to a new episode of the Paul Olubayo presents: The Conversation.

My guest this week is Temidayo Seriki

Temidayo is the founder of The Man Up Initiative. My Conversation with Temidayo focuses upon the work of Man Up and their goal to challenge and shape the value systems of young men in order to build a more inclusive society.

Within this conversation we touch upon a number of different issues including; Man Up's goals as an organisation, the tactics which they use to achieve these goals and the importance of 21st century men the world over being accountable.

You can find out more about Man Up at their website: http://manupinitiative.com/ which features a number of articles concerning Man Up's goals including their most recent publication 'The Boy Child: A Societal Approach to Shaping the Men of Tomorrow'

I am deeply thankful to Temidayo for sharing his knowledge and expertise on a very serious and pressing issue, and I hope you all enjoy our conversation and learn from Temidayo's insight.

Bio

Temidayo was born in Lagos. He attended Greenwood House School and GreenSprings School for his primary and high school education respectively. He then relocated to the UK for the completion of his further and higher education. Temidayo graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and Marketing from Keele University. Upon the completion of his studies, Temidayo returned to Lagos and became increasingly aware of the neglect that existed within the society with regards to the social development of men; both young and old. In a bid to solve this problem, Temidayo created Man Up Initiative. This initiative aims to challenge and change cultural and social norms in men that have stifled their development. Temidayo’s passions do not stop there; he is also particularly interested in human capital development and is launching a company called Vision, which aims to give guidance to young Nigerians with career and entrepreneurial aspirations.
