    Alexa News Network CEO urges empathy-driven storytelling and resilience in 2026

    In a New Year message carried via Africa Newsroom, Alexa News Network founder Jokpeme Joseph Omode urged audiences to approach 2026 with resilience and empathy, while reaffirming commitments around inclusive, credible reporting.

    The statement positions journalism as social glue—storytelling that informs, bridges divides, and maintains relevance “across borders,” particularly in a crowded digital news landscape.

    It also doubles as a brand signal: credibility and consistency are competitive advantages when attention is fragmented and trust is contested.

    Alexa.ng published the same message, including the line “embrace resilience” and “empathy” to bridge divides. Africa24TV also reproduced the statement and echoed the same appeal about empathy and shared prosperity, repeating “bridge divides” as a central theme.

    Echotitbits take:
    Messaging is easy—standards are hard. Watch whether Alexa backs this with verifiable beat expertise, corrections culture, and original reporting that earns citations from other credible outlets.

    As reported by The Guardian Nigeria, Kayzplace Barbershop reopened in Surulere after a fire-related shutdown, drawing celebrities, loyal clients and community leaders for a visible show of support.

    The reopening was framed as both a business restart and a morale moment—proof the brand survived the disruption and is pushing forward.

    For many Lagos lifestyle businesses, December visibility can directly impact survival, making celebrity support more than just optics.

    The Guardian quoted the owner: “Of course, it was necessary. This is my business… so I had to take the necessary steps to bring it back,” he said. A Kayzplace Instagram update stated the brand is “committed to rebuilding and emerging stronger.”

    Echotitbits take:
    This is a case study in community-backed recovery. Watch whether the reopening translates to sustained customer traffic—and whether the brand secures partnerships that turn a comeback story into long-term growth.
