Afolabi Anani is an Electrical Engineer by training, a policy strategist by inclination, and a bridge-builder by lived experience. With a career grounded in analytical rigor and a gift for translating complexity into clarity, he brings a uniquely pragmatic and human-centered approach to the challenges at the intersection of U.S.–Nigeria relations.

As the Founder and President of the Twin Eagle Alliance – Two Nations, One Vision, Afolabi leads a mission to strengthen democratic partnership between the United States and Nigeria through truth, trust, and collaborative engagement. Under his leadership, the Alliance champions initiatives that advance dialogue, balance narratives, and build durable frameworks for shared prosperity and stability.

Having spent half his life in Nigeria and the other half in the United States, Afolabi possesses a rare dual-perspective understanding of both nations. This lived experience enables him to navigate cultural nuance with precision, bridging gaps in perception and ensuring that policy and diplomacy are anchored in context, not stereotype. His bicultural insight has made him a trusted interlocutor for policymakers, business leaders, diaspora networks, and civil-society institutions seeking a balanced, informed understanding of transatlantic cooperation.

An engineer at heart, Afolabi approaches leadership as both art and architecture — analytical yet deeply empathetic, principled yet solutions-driven. Whether addressing governance reform, public diplomacy, or economic development, he is known for offering grounded, actionable pathways forward — solutions shaped not by ideology, but by evidence and sustainability.

Beyond advocacy, Afolabi is a committed entrepreneur dedicated to building high-impact ventures that expand opportunity, unlock innovation, and strengthen economic resilience in Nigeria. His ventures reflect a conviction that prosperity and policy must work hand-in-hand to achieve lasting transformation.

A passionate philanthropist, he supports initiatives that amplify underrepresented voices and promote education, inclusion, and social mobility. Motivated by empathy and a deep sense of responsibility, his work reflects a belief that empowerment begins with access to opportunity, understanding, and dignity.

At his core, Afolabi is a devoted husband and proud father to two young boys, aged 8 and 10 — spirited Nigerian-Americans who inspire his belief in a future where identity is expansive, opportunity is shared, and both nations flourish together. His family fuels his purpose: to help shape a world defined not by borders, but by bridges.

Today, Afolabi stands as a transatlantic connector — equally rooted in the American and Nigerian experience — advancing a vision of partnership defined by shared values, mutual respect, and a commitment to a more prosperous and equitable future.
