GLOOMY, SCARY AND UNPREDICTABLE FUTURE


This episode was half way when I was struck by sudden ill-health... now recovering at God's speed.

Right and wrong decisions are based on resources and information at your disposal, right?

What if you garner vital resources from messages and digital gifts we serve on this platform, and suddenly it becomes extinct.  Wouldn't that affect your decisions? Maybe.

We thank  you for the loads of 'likes'. However, your feedback about the quality and social value of our messages is ABSOLUTELY important to us.  

We'd be delighted to receive your comments: approve or not approve whichever is welcome.
.......

Over the last couple of days energy crisis in Europe has worsened due to the escalated war in Ukraine. 

As was expected, the economic impact multiplied globally giving rise to high cost of living and hunger in Africa and especially Nigeria, as a result of food shortages. 

Clips from the 2022 G20 meeting in Indonesia, paints a picture of imminent catostrophy across the world, unless stringent actions are taken urgently.

Leaders of the group prescribed: "recover together, recover stronger" as a global solution.

But how could that happen as situations worsen. Rather than recovering:

Nigeria's inflation rate has been on steady increase too, since 2020 according to the report of National Bureau of Statistics.

Nigeria has become world capital of poverty, a position prior held by India. Now, 133 million Nigerians are in the bracket of "Multi-dimensional Poor."

Mortgages and share prices are crumbling to level of its comparison with 2008 global economic melt-down.

Education sector is crumbling with no solution in sight. It is so scary that the Education Committee of  UN at the last UNGA77 raised alarm with a call to action.  

"A silent learning crisis is unfolding that has become devastating shock to human capital. ... We urge you the world leaders, to meet this head-on and act to improve learning outcomes for the world".

Our mission on this platform is to propound ideas that provide solutions and move our projects to the next level.

What's your take and approach to excel?

"HOW NOT TO LOOSE YOUR DWELLING HOUSE AFTER 25 YEARS"

is a Report to guide you to become an owner occupier from 2023 rather than remain/live as tenant for life.

SKILLS ACQUISITION TRAINING


Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributes to the growth of prosperity. It serves to promote healthy and socially responsible causes that impact positively.

Recently due to ailing economy and resultant hardship, politicians and public figures have come under intense pressure to assist their constituencies and communities. Of course by the nature of public offices they occupy, they're morally obliged to notice the underprivileged, indigent and dilapidating environment and take action.

How they respond depends on who they are; nature of services they render to the people and mindset.  Very often the temptations to respond through cash donations or promissory notes become irrisistible. Yet, some public officers who have aides get over some of these public relations engagement with the communities in different ways.

One of the various engagements is occasionally organising empowerment skills acquisition training for selected groups across the community.

You can leverage on our  Skills Acquisition Training Program to empower the youth, unemployed persons and retrain already working people in your constituencies/communities. Your benefits are innumerable.

Let's start with visibility. The nature of services public officers render, their venue and personalities remain opaque to some huge percentage of his/her constituents. That doesn't help loyalty, comradeship, trust and brand identity building. All that change with the launch of our training program.

The other benefit which cash donations alone cannot replace is the fact that training is seed sowing with unlimited quantity ahead. Whereas cash donations shared by few hundreds or thousands are usually for economic relief and consumption.

CONSTITUENT PROJECTS
Honourable, pause a minute to take a retrospection of various celebrations you've had: birthdays, anniversaries, thanksgivings etc. Did you consider using any of those past occasions to promote CSR? If you did the benefits would have been yours.

Now that you've gotten ideas next time you're going to engage in any or all of those activities you may wish to secure our services. It's pretty affordable because we also serve communities in one way or the other.

THE FUTURE AND YOUR VISION

Your ideas about how you would be in the future is your vision. It's often the best one would wish him or herself.

About this time of the year we begin to take stock of our activities and results so far and adjust here and there.

Call it decision, guide or resolution, whatever you may call it, the purpose is to be properly directed for a desired result.

A humble beginning like most of us have is just a stepping stone. To continue on that level, to say the least is not being ambitious. 

Who among you now a tenant wants to remain so for life? If it doesn't cost anything to dream, no one would choose to remain at the 'humble beginning' level for life.

That inert desire humans have for better tomorrow is the reason why you're reading this business message. Here's a report:

HOW NOT TO LOOSE YOUR DWELLING HOUSE AFTER 25 YEARS is a Report to guide you to become an owner occupier, from 2023 rather than remain/live as tenant for life.

We invite everyone passionate about innovations and prosperous ideas to quickly join our group to get the report.

Getting better daily is our mission. 

The internet is like a big ocean. Swimming, surfing, fishing etc - these activities unguided may lead to wasteful soujourn.

PUTTING OUR ACTIVITIES IN PERSPECTIVE


We warmly welcome those of you that have just joined. 

We also welcome your introduction and comments.

We're gradually approaching the end of the year when we 

take stock of our activIties and mission during the year. 

From online mentor, Matt Maurice quoting another 

mentor on the need to ask stock-taking question more 

frequently suggests this apt question: 

"If every person in my organization personally 

produced at the level I personally produced at 

this month, would my team be exploding with 

growth?"


If the answer is no, you have only one person to blame for your team’s lack of duplication - you!"

I tried the question and in all honesty felt ashamed.

Wait a minute...

We started with Workshop titled "Overcoming Common Challenges in Business Environment"

And discussed:

1. Capital formation

2. Resources/Raw materials

3. Record keeping

4. Infrastructural base

5. Training - Publishing

6. Compliance with regulatory authorities

The workshop, even though poorly attended was for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

According to a statistical analysis SMEs form the backbone of Nigeria economy by generating about 96% of businesses in the economy.

The secret of efficient management of SMEs according to Eric Uwaoma, director Enterprise segment, Etisalat Nigeria is networking of IDEAS.

In line with networking of ideas we intensified the campaign online and just picking up as the year ends.

The challenge now is to ensure that the period between now and the end of the year positive trends would climax our training for 2023.


The part you'd play to make this aspiration realizable cannot be overemphasized.


Your inquiries are welcome. DM as soon as possible as a new batch of training commences very soon.

Your success.

HUSHPUPPI JAILED IN US - BBC NEWS

#corporateleaders
Ikechukwu Odoemelam Esq 

"A notorious Instagram influencer from Nigeria has been jailed for more than 11 years in the US for his role in an international fraud syndicate.

Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Abbas, was also ordered to pay $1,732,841 (£1,516,182) in restitution to two victims.

The influencer rose to fame flaunting his wealthy lifestyle on his page, which boasted 2.8 million followers.

But it all came crashing down when he was arrested in Dubai two years ago.

According to Don Alway, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, Abbas had - behind the glitz of his account - become "one of the most prolific money launderers in the world".

"Abbas leveraged his social media platforms... to gain notoriety and to brag about the immense wealth he acquired by conducting business email compromise scams, online bank heists and other cyber-enabled fraud that financially ruined scores of victims and provided assistance to the North Korean regime," Mr Alway said in a court document on Monday.

Abbas pleaded guilty to money laundering last year, admitting attempting to steal more than $1.1m from someone who wanted to fund a new children's school in Qatar. Court documents in California say he played a key role in the scheme, playing "the roles of bank officials and creating a bogus website".

He also admitted to "several other cyber and business email compromise schemes that cumulatively caused more than $24 million in losses", the US justice department said.

Among them was a 2019 scheme, which plunged the European island of Malta into chaos as payment systems shut down after he tried to launder €13m ($13m) stolen by a gang of North Korean hackers from the Maltese Bank of Valletta."

LOOMING GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS REVEALED

Every part of the globe is complaining of a common 

ailment - currency crumbling. Of course we'll spot the

ailment as economics.

A subject that affects everyone. Lots of arguments as to 

solutions  That also involves almost everyone offering 

free. opinions.

From elementary economics we know the roles of CBNs, 

that it includes monetarism and demand management. 

Rising inflation has spread and become palpably present 

in the global economy. Consequently most nation's CBs 

reacted similarly by raising rates. Rates influence cost of 

borrowing  and that way passed on to the consumers.

It was miscalculation arising from inflation that led to the 

fall of Liz Traus' UK government formed on the basis of 

substantial tax cuts.

Bank of England's response was unprecedented raise of 

interest rate that threw the economy out of balance.

On Friday 28/10/2022 USA Federal Reserve raised rates 

by 75 basis points, the highest it's been since 2008.

Sequel to that, an extraordinary meeting was held in 

Washington, November 2, 2022. In attendance were the 

Federal Reserve, Comptroller of currency, IMF, World 

Bank and Governors of Central Banks of African 

countries.

The issue agreed upon was US monetary policy that from 

31st January, 2023 only recent $ currency from 2021 will 

be in circulation and acceptable. The implication is that 

currencies bearing earlier printing dates would become 

unacceptable.

You see the cloud of economic uncertainties surrounding 

us? Just as stated above, everyone everywhere is

 involved as global economic crisis looms.

Any remedy in sight? Not in the nearest future. But to be 

aware of developments and maneuvers IDEA WORKSHOP

has step-by-step guide as to how not to fall victim.

The report will be valuable asset for your entire business 

and social life through the year and armed to enter 2023.

DM for interest to receive the report.

Your success.

NIGERIA START-UPS ACT 2022


Ikechukwu Odoemelam Esq
#corporateleaders #digitaleducation #digitalskills

The end of the second 'ember' month of 2022.  My opinion, if you ask,  is that the cup is half-full not half-empty.

So today a glinpse at a WEEK OF DIGITAL ENTREPRENURSHIP.

It started with the coming into effect of Nigeria Start-ups Act 2022 earlier.  The object of the Act is to enhance innovations and creativity.  Everyone has something to benefit from the Act.  Think about digitalized professionalism.

Reports say it's the largest Digital Economy in Africa. Of course it should, going by population and size of Nigeria's economy, as well as the depth of digital connectivity.

Digital Economy Industry Working group (DEIWG) has been inauguarated. The purpose of the the platform is to instigate public-private dialogue.

Thereafter Lectures were organized to dissect the scheme and generate ideas for successful implementation. You need to search for the resources and you'd see that so much is in stock for the public, especially entrepreneurs.

For those in Advanced Digital Content Creation, it would be a field day.  Common pools of legal resources would no longer be for high profile law firms and businesses only.

Right now construction of Digital Economy complex that would house Nigeria Start-ups is on the way ..   and speedily too.

The wake up call is for every digital minded people and entrepreneurs to start taking advantage of the provisions of the Act. 

A very good and valuable opportunity if you ask me. 

That's why at IDEA WORKSHOP we've arranged basic digital Start-up skills that beginners would use as foundation for a meaningful online business adventure.

Stop procrastinating, reality is inside of you. Just say you can.

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for you to start implementing those ideas you've been nursing without results.
