AY Makun, the king of Nigerian comedy and entertainment, was all suits and swagger at the Qatar Economic Forum powered by Bloomberg in Doha, Dubai. He turned heads in a sleek navy pinstripe suit and black tie, proudly repping Naija and the spirit of African excellence.
The event brought together global business leaders, innovators, and industry icons—and guess who was at the center of the action? AY, networking like a boss and sharing moments with heavyweight banker Tony Elumelu, who stood tall as Africa’s ambassador on that high-profile stage.
AY came through with an inspiring message: “I felt so proud as a Nigerian to have been part of the Qatar Economic Forum and to see Tony Elumelu representing Africa so positively on such a prestigious platform. Can’t wait for the entertainment and sports conversations. It’s time to completely eradicate the negative narratives often associated with the African continent.”
From posing on the red carpet to shaking hands with movers and shakers, AY’s presence at the forum signals a bold new era for African creatives, business moguls, and the power of collaboration across continents. His energy and optimism? Pure fire. That’s how to break the binderies—by stepping into global rooms, shining bright, and changing the conversation for good.
Africa to the world, Naija no dey carry last.
