DIGITAL ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE

With the enactment of Nigeria Start-up 

Act 2022, anxious stakeholders and 

teeming unemployed persons, are

poised to activate various aspects of the

infrastructure for economic

advancement.

The pertinent component to this 

development is financial intelligence.

OnlIne streams of income, e-commerce, 

website-building, content writing, 

payment system providers etc. are 

some of the activities you legitimately 

can engage in.

ICT contribution to GDP has been on the 

increase since 2020. From statistical 

report it was 24.72% at the 1st quarter 

of 2020, 17.92% in 2021, 18.44 in the 1st 

Q of 2022.

With the youths and stakeholders 

making sufficient input into the outcome

of the Act, it's bound to be a welcome 

phenomenon.

National Digital Innovations 

Entreprenurship Council with President &

vice as Chairman and vice Chairman is 

to be established.

According to excited Minister of 

Communications and Digital Economy, 

Isa Pantami, the foundation will 

commence with take-off grant of at 

least N10 billion.

That's another boom to the benefits of 

stakeholders.

It's a new money making platform

leveraging on the power of technology

different from the traditional model.

For increasing number of non-

professionals, various opportunities 

abound to create valuable contents, but 

most of these are not monetized. 

Some have acquired the relevant skills 

and moved on. But for those who are yet

to learn the skills opportunity beckons. 

We're available to teach you how to if 

you partner with IDEA WORKSHOP. Just 

DM indicating interest.

Your progress.

ACHIEVE MORE WITH INTENTIONAL DECISIONS

#corporateleaders

Welcome new members. If you join IDEA 

WORKSHOP, it's a thumb up for 

entreprenurship.

Entreprenurship is calculated dreams...

..one of the prescriptions by experts 

to rescue world economy showing signs 

of recession.  

Minister of Communications and Digital

Economy, Dr Isa Pantani announced that 

Nigeria Startups Bill has been passed 

into law - a boost to entreprenurship.

During recessions everything becomes 

small, shrinked and valueless.

American musician, Ryan Shupe said,

"dream big if you want to dream;

because it might come true." 

Entreprenurship is limitless, and also 

known world over to be the shortcut to 

wealth creation. 

Embracing entreprenurship is usually a 

difficult decision if you've been working

all your life and suddenly jobs begin to 

elude you. Funny enough, most of the 

jobs you apply for through physical office

addresses are now available only online. 

What's more, you need online skills to 

get them.

You see what my message is all about?

If you're one of those seeking bridging 

skills to transform DM us for a guide.

Some stranded ASSU strike students

have acquired this bridging skills and 

are now working online as they resume 

after the strike.

These books are available for $0.99 for 

those of you commencing our program on 

24th October, 2022. It's bonus offer if you 

want. After that date the price goes back 

to $8 each.

ECONOMIC STRANGULATION PREDICTED FOR NIGERIA

Former CBN Governor and dethroned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi attended Kaduna Investment Fair.

His call for the balkanisation of NNPC stole the show. It was no hold bared, and forthright.  

Nigeria's indebtedness analysis was scary and horrifying.  Every amount of income earned by FGN henceforth would be used for servicing loans alone - no savings!

Recurring expenditures like salaries would be funded through borrowing.

This came on the heals of dollar sharp rise against other currencies especially Naira N700 fetches $1. Unbelievable.

You don't need to be an economist to know that the survival of ordinary individuals like you and I is seriously at stake.

Do you see any solution on the horizon? Jobs have taken flight already. What else?

YOU!  That's the only thing left...

DECISION.

Are you one of those seeking some rewarding escape routes out of the imminent economic strangulation?

STEP into 2023 with solid one or two skills that could liberate you from the hardship politicians cannot cure.

Just DM interest. We'd guide a few serious interested individuals how stranded ASSU strike students are now making reasonable income and ready to go back to school.

These books are available for $0.99 for those of you commencing our program on 24th October, 2022. It's bonus offer if you want. After that date the price goes back to $8 each.

EVERY ECONOMY THRIVES ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP

#corporateleaders

Nigeria is again at the penumbra of transition having run full circle of the constitutional limit of democratically elected government. Despite the slogans and policies put in place for agriculture, food production and prosperous nation, it's on record that Nigerians have been empoverished, with close to 80% of citizens living below poverty line of $1 a day.  There's high inflation with 2015 as a base.

Check the cost of living indices from 2015 to date; what do you find? The common man's staple foods cost as much, if not more than their imported substitutes, that you begin to wonder the sense in banning their importation when we're not ready with domestic supplies. Frustrated consumers become induced economic saboteurs and short changers, although some are deliberate. Earnestly there's a case of cutting the nose to spice the face.

The political class don't seem to have a clue as to how to change the trajectory that brought the economy to where it is right now. Repeating the same trajectory and hoping for a different result?  Doubtful.

THE STORY OF ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT: 

The level of food crisis in Nigeria today has necessitated the sad story of this fallen hero of entreprenurship. Entrepreneurship and leadership often emerge from crisis and emergencies like Kentucky fried chicken global food vendor. Kentucky is one entreprenurship venture that makes US economy thrive.

Until his death October 2022, USMAN ABUBAKAR RIMI was a Final-Year Medicine and Surgery student of Usman Danfodiyo University Sokoto, UDUS and an indegene of Rimi LGA in Katsina State. According to Umar Idris, Chairman of 21st Century Entrepreneurs Hub and an ally of the deceased, Rimi had leadership and entreprenurial spirit, and was the Katsina State coordinator of 21st Century Entrepreneurs Hub. It was in that capacity  that he coordinated the Global Entrepreneurship in 2019 and 2020.

As a result of the prolonged ASSU strike, the entreprenurial spirit drove Rimi to establish Food Vending/Indomie joint at the diplomat area of Sokoto state to earn income as the strike action continued. It could only be someone with the entrepreneurial disposition like Rimi that did that. I was pained to read of his demise just days before going back to school to graduate. What a monumental losses!

COUNTING THE LOSSES

As ASSU calls off the eight-months old strike which has paralysed education sector and  the economy apparently the time to commence counting the losses inflicted by the behemoth has come.

At the just ended United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77) the President of World Bank group hit the nail on the head when he aptly observed:

"A silent learning crisis is unfolding that has become devastating shock to human capital.  We need to work to prevent further damage and build more effective systems. We urge you the world leaders, to meet this crisis head-on and act to improve learning outcomes for all children everywhere"

If you extrapolate that to Nigerian situation you'd find a devastating blow not only to the students and their financial losses, but also a blow that has thrown the Federal Government off balance. 

Certainly this is a tough time for all the stakeholders in this prolonged strike action requiring each of them to mitigate their losses.

Our sympathy is always on the students and their sponsors for going through the rough road. Yet, there must be something to fall back on......

One or two skills acquisition training should have been completed during that period of discontent and unproductivity.

Some of the students that took advantage of our training program are better equipped than their counterparts.

You're welcome to DM and find out details of how to keep learning even when you've been stopped from continuing by circumstances beyond your control.

Your progress.

WOULD YOU PREFER WORK FROM HOME TO PHYSICAL WORK PLACE?

Your answer should not be that of your colleague or neighbor. The reason is not farfetched. Location, commute,  circumstances, motivation, ambiance, lifestyle, rewards etc influence choices and options.

However, the debate about hybrid workplace options has been raging as an off-shoot of global onslaught against COVID-19 pandemic. While in real life (IRL) has remained the traditional, capitalist model and the status quo, a new model work culture was birthed as a result of lockdown and other policies put in place globally to combat COVID-19 which came to be known as the new normal.  Therefore it became 'new normal' for employees or everyone to avoid traditional businesses/workplaces, yet perform work activities at home.

It also became new normal for companies and employers to provide alternative office space and tools, appliances and devices to their employees who have been 'forced' to work from home. Work from home is fast becoming adventurous floodgate which some companies like Spotify has adopted for their employees across the globe.

This phenomenon has increased the advent of work-at-home syndrome that has become 21st century lifestyle and work style. Whether part-time or full-time, more and more people are opting to work remotely.  This feature has been commended as a measure of social progress and necessary component of thriving entrepreneurship.

Different comments and analysis have been proferred for and against each option and a hybrid of options. Where do you stand in all of these?

The poser has been graphically constructed thus:

In Real Life (IRL) V. Remote work, striking a balance.

IRL has more stress and distractions; less productive than remote work. Raises issues of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. IRL has propensity to induce toxic staff relationships. Decision about suitable options requires surveys, feedback and open discussion not in a silo. However, different hybrid options for different companies.

On the other hand who cares if you have more than one job .. that doesn't breach any labour law, unless specifically prohibited by a particular contract of employment.

Imagine working from home, applied for maternity leave; spent the period and just one morning got management email welcoming you back to work, then you resume at home...

As a result of these changes taking place technological innovations are reflecting these choices. In other words whichever option you make would surely have it's economic value with it. 

We all have the inert ability to learn, grow and develop. Don't be a victim of the negative consequences of the changing work model. 

How ..?

If your employers adopted work from home policy and you haven't upgraded your digital skills, guess what happens ...

We at IDEA WORKSHOP are offering you work from home training to equip you with relevant skills at your pace and convenience. DM for details.

Your progress.

SKILLS, TECHNOLOGY AND COMPENSATION

#corporateleaders

SKILLS, TECHNOLOGY AND COMPENSATION

The shabby treatment of Immigrant workers in Qatar has drawn world's attention. These guys offered their services to prepare qatarworldcup2022 and were not adequately rewarded.  Some of them skilled, others not but the shame's uncalled for.

This is coming after 'Future of Jobs Report, World Economic Forum' that about 50% of all employees will need reskiling by 2025, as the adoption of technology increases.

Quite pathetic you may say.  Keep emotions out. See, it's either you reskill and be abreast with technology, or wither away or be treated shabbily.

Get this shocking fact straight.  In the next Mundiale these unskilled workers would have no chance or services to offer.  Reason: technology would have decimated the number of human contribution needed.

So lots of teaching to erase  Tech-knowledge deficit. That brings to fore teaching jobs needed and that's why today, 5th October every year is celebrated as World's Teachers Day. Don't miss the opportunity to join our teaching group on this platform.

You can access digital skills acquisition training at IDEA WORKSHOP where we teach various niches that suits you,  available to earn steady income in today's digital economy.
