The conversation around wealth creation is often universal in theory, yet highly fragmented in practice, especially for Africans building lives outside their home countries.

The Game of Money, a financial education platform founded and organized by Tope Mark-Odigie — entrepreneur, television host, wealth coach, and real estate developer, is attempting to close that gap with its 2026 UK Tour, with Manchester positioned as one of its key stops.

The Game of Money is a one-day financial transformation event designed around conversations about wealth creation, ownership, and financial literacy among Africans in the diaspora.

Originating in Nigeria under Reb360, the Game of Money began in Nigeria as a financial education platform, built around a simple but disruptive idea: that wealth is not accidental, but structured, learnable, and often poorly understood by the average person.

Over time, it has now grown into a wider platform and a movement that challenges assumptions around money, encouraging participants to rethink earning habits, ownership models, and financial decision-making.

Scheduled for May 17, 2026, the Manchester edition brings together professionals, business owners, investors, and individuals exploring more structured ways to understand income, investment, and long-term financial planning.

It forms part of a three-city rollout across Chesterfield, Manchester, and London, with each stop designed to reflect the financial realities of Africans in the diaspora from different perspectives.

For Tope Mark-Odigie, often referred to as TMO, the expansion into the UK is less about geography and more about accessibility.

“This is not just an event; it is a shift in how people see money, ownership, and opportunity.” She has always explained.

The Game of Money edition that will be happening in Manchester is structured around lived experience, practical frameworks, and conversations that challenge financial habits, beliefs, and decision-making patterns.

The Manchester Speaker Lineup

The Manchester edition will feature a curated lineup of speakers drawn from education, real estate, investment, and business development, each bringing a grounded perspective to wealth-building conversations.

Among them is Jumoke Quadri, founder and CEO of Nurturing Foundations, an education and community development consultant based in Manchester. She is known for her work in supporting families, strengthening learning environments, and bridging community development with practical education outcomes.

At the event, her perspective is expected to add and explore the human development lens to wealth creation, particularly around stability, structure, and long-term planning.

Also speaking is Sunday Aderibigbe, a real estate investor and wealth coach, and CEO of The EB Properties. He is recognized for his work in guiding individuals through property investment strategies and helping clients understand how to build income streams through structured real estate decisions. His contribution will focus on practical entry points into property, financial positioning and long-term investment thinking.

Joining the lineup also is Paul Foh, CEO of Sales Factory Global, a sales and business development strategist known for his work in scaling revenue systems and helping entrepreneurs and organizations improve conversion, sales structure, and business growth performance. His contribution is expected to centre on income generation systems and the mechanics of scalable business growth.

Leading the conversation across all UK cities is Tope Mark-Odigie herself, CEO of Reb360 and convener of The Game of Money. Through her work in real estate, wealth education, and personal development, she has consistently advocated for a shift from financial survival thinking to structured wealth creation and ownership-based economics.

What Attendees Should Be Expecting

Rather than a traditional seminar format and long speeches with no action. The Manchester session will be structured around practical engagement. Attendees should be expecting conversations on investing, income diversification, real estate strategy, financial decision-making, and the psychology of money, particularly how beliefs and environment influence financial outcomes.

Beyond these well structured sessions, attendees are expected to engage in networking and informal exchanges that encourage collaboration and shared learning.

One of the goals of the event is to create a conducive atmosphere for networking, collaboration, and peer-to-peer conversations among individuals navigating similar financial realities in the diaspora and attendees are expected to maximise the opportunity.

The emphasis is on practical clarity, translating financial concepts into steps that can be applied in everyday personal and business decisions.

As The Game of Money 3.0 UK Tour is being anticipated in the city of Manchester, the event stands as a key stop in what is increasingly becoming a cross-border financial education movement.
