In the ancient tradition of Deborah — judge, prophetess, and leader — the Tent of Deborah is where Nigeria's leaders come to think, learn, and be renewed. This is not a pulpit. It is a palm tree: shade, sustenance, and perspective for the long journey ahead.
Here you will find ABA's latest video addresses, long form leadership essays, and curated resources for stewards at every level of society. Whether you are a governor or a grassroots organiser, the palm tree has shade enough for all.
The Tent is open seven days a week. Wisdom does not keep office hours.
Leadership is not always about making the loudest declaration. Sometimes it is about sitting under the palm tree — listening, discerning, and knowing when to speak. Deborah judged Israel not from a throne, but from the shade of a tree.
The woman selling akara at the junction is not informal. She is the economy. Our frameworks must catch up with the reality our people live every day. It is time we gave her the institutional recognition she deserves.
Every morning, 220 million stories begin. Mothers, traders, engineers, artists — all writing the Nigerian story the world refuses to tell on our behalf. The #IAMANIGERIAN campaign is our collective authorship.
