Nigerian Cybersecurity Prodigy Named As Trailblazer In American Magazine

Nigerian’s cybersecurity talent, Samuel Afolabi (Lordsam) has earned international recognition after featuring on the cover of November’s CIO Magazine as a Trailblazing Cybersecurity Leaders to Watch in 2025. The United States–based tech publication is headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts.

Afolabi is among a class of young African tech professionals spotlighted by the global magazine for excellence, thought leadership, and industry impact.

Described by peers as a “cybersecurity multi-potentialite”, Afolabi has carved a niche in FinTech, E-Commerce, EdTech, Insurance, GovTech, Consulting and others.

His journey into technology, he said, was marked by curiosity, self-learning, and a knack to solve complex problems.

From software engineering (low-code) to networking, data centre management, cloud computing, and ethical hacking, Afolabi’s technical depth has positioned him as a sought-after mind in secure systems design and cyber-defence infrastructure.

A former Fellow of Pan-African Youth Ambassadors for Internet Governance, professional member of Cybersecurity Experts Association of Nigeria, and certified Ambassador of Management & Strategic Institute, Pennsylvania, U.S, Afolabi holds industry certifications from Amazon, Microsoft, CompTIA, EC-Council, Fortinet, and GitHub.

More to the benefit of America than to the benefit of Nigeria, which is the world’s capital of extreme poverty and out of school children.

TheBedWench:
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]

The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.

Nice one, but I hope FBI will not come out tomorrow with their own version

Oduduwa offsprings that have allowed progreThieves scam us to steal our commonwealth and destroy our communities instead of employing teachers to make education free for all children

Babasessy:
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Right now in this era of modern technology, I think Tech as a distinct subject should be taught in all our elementary and secondary schools. I'm not referring to all those archaic Intro-Tech and Basic Tech o. We should teach our kids modern skills like coding, programming and ICT. This is 21st century.

Una don start with all these fake PR
"Trailblazer" indeed.


In case you don't know what the CIO Magazine stands for, this is their offical objective:
"The CIO Magazine helps organizations and their Technology & Business leaders to share their stories, extend their market reach, and increase brand recognition."

Meaning anybody can spread their fake PR as far as you have the money to pay for it. There is nothing that this dude has achieved other than finding a cool secondary school nickname like "LordSam." Moreso, I hope una know say this boy has not even obtained a degree, yet, yet he feels like the first thing in life is to spend on PR. There is something naturally wrrong with a Afrrican man's mind. There is a deeps rooted need in them to be relevant by show off than to be relevant by value.

Thanks for sharing your initiative, don't worry you'll work at the company.

Bro! You sound very pained and agonized over infidelity, promiscuity and above the most deadly and venomous one paternity fraud. Truly, that problem is an epidemic and should be declared State of Emergency all over the world not only Nigeria and most a times I blame the men for that, we want to trade love and affection with money and material things when LOVE especially from the woman bound on her EMOTIONAL needs.

The Omoluabi spirit will make you do good.

Some people find out the hard way, especially the children. May we not be unfortunate. Children who found out through DNA that they're not the one may be advocates for the test

Are you into medicine? I don't see any reason why you can't. Tech is not the future, your medicine is. There is no tech without medicine and tech does not work in abstract. If there is a problem in Beirut, lives that will be saved is more paramount than tech. Even in tech, they say human lives is the number one priority when an incident occurs. I will advise you to try some areas of tech you're comfortable with but never leave it for medicine. Except you are not interested.

Is it possible for two brothers whose father are dead to do DNA test to ascertain if both are from the same man?
