THE BIBLE V. TRADITION👹

Death is the necessary end of life. And so everyone aware of what happened to the entertainment industry and Nollywood last week must have come terms to the sad and inestimable loss of talents, brothers, sisters, husbands, men and women👥. None of the victim's' names is bigger or more important than the other as they say, death is an equaliser, ALL of them to the debit side of our ledger.

Jnr Pope Odonwodo being the leader of the crew 🚢 dominated the episode for two reasons. First he was giving online account of the risky voyage🛥️on social media, while subscribers were on-the-voyage with them until the turbulent incident.

Secondly Jnr Pope 'died' and 'revived and was alife again' to the jubilation of fans, as if other confirmed victims no longer mattered. But that was short-lived.

My worry for writing this comment is the comedy- like demand for money to appease the marine god and that was why the body of Abigail Frederick was buried at the bank of the river.🏞️

My heart 😭 bled when I read the report of her father's inability to provide N150,000 necessary traditional rites to appease the marine god. Couldn't anyone have asked for her body to remain in the mogue pending when relations, sympathisers or fans show their strength?

✍️That's why I felt I should volunteer this comment on behalf of those members of the public in my school of thought, and at same time thank Pastor Umo Eno, Governor of Akwa Ibom state for ordering exhumation of Abigail's body for a decent burial by her family.

Reports say it was Akaninye Tommy TC Chairman Eket LGA probably Abigail's home, who alerted the governor about what happened. That's a thumb up sir.

The governor has two callings: a clergy and governor. No one of good reasoning and judgement would spot anything otherwise than exactly what you did. Bravo.

In conclusion that money 💰 belongs to God was mentioned about 2000 times in the Holy Bible. Demonising money can shroud or even kill conscience, good reasoning and judgement. Otherwise who would have thought that communal ritual could isolate a young lady's body eternally from her home, only a stone throw away without a will?

ABIA PENSIONERS

In the bustling cities of Abia these retirees led by Emeka Okezie had a knack for turning the mundane into the extraordinary. And concerned Abians often show sympathy.

At one certain press conference the governor Alex Otis government vowed to start payment of pensioners. As they lounged on the benches, sipping their 'pure water' (only those who could afford it: N50 each), some doubting skeptics suddenly exclaimed, "That's what you said during the campaign, where's pension?" But for numerous silent ones 

the thought about the economic value of pension payments prevailed.

The group exchanged puzzled glances until more questions were answered after the conference. Just think about it folks pension payments aren't just money pensioners receive to enjoy their golden years. They're like drops of water in a vast ocean, circulating through the economy and keeping the wheels turning!

Quite often intrigued and curious pensioners set out on a quest to uncover the true impact of their pension payments. Along the way, they encountered shopkeepers, farmers, and even the mayor, each with their own stories to tell. Ahhh, who do you believe?

They learned how their pension payments helped support local businesses, allowing shops to thrive and communities to flourish. They discovered how retirees spending their pensions injected vitality into the economy, creating jobs and opportunities for everyone.

With newfound understanding, the pensioners returned to lobby government and relevant stakeholders their hearts brimming with pride. They realized that their pension payments weren't just numbers on a check—they were the lifeblood of their town, sustaining its prosperity and ensuring a bright future for generations to come.

And so, with Emeka Okezie leading the charge, the pensioners continued to cherish their golden years, knowing that their economic contributions were as valuable as gold itself.

NOW the government and governor Alex Otis are trending and the joy of pensioners is fuelling it.

HAPPY EASTER!

LAW FIRM PARTNERSHIPS: A BARGAIN?

On 6th March, 2024 when my attention caught this viral picture on Facebook of a couple legal personalities ROSS OSEI Esq and SYLVIA MAMLE ASSEM called to Ghananian Bar on 23/10/23 along with Ghananian Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayokor Botchway, I erroneously wrote they were called to the Nigerian Bar. Incidentally that also went viral.

However, it was the account of GhanaCelebrities.com that gave us the correct version.

The incident also reminded me about my call to the Nigerian Bar decades ago along with a couple legal personalities too.

I'm just wondering whether there's anything you've learned, especially our colleagues out there who may be itching to know before making the decisions Ross Osei Owusu Esq and Sylvia Mamle ASSEM Esq made?

Running Law firm partnerships could be difficult and sometimes a disaster. In some negative instances associates/partners rather than operate like birds of same feathers, turn out to be in thug of war: totally the opposite of business partnership, everyone moving against the tide. Are there antidotes to that?

However, we've seen law firm partnerships developed from informal structures to become quoted companies at the global stock lists.

According to reports quoted commercial law firms within one year, recorded 26% rise in value. UK law firms Gateley Holdings Plc and DWL Attorneys were cited as examples.

Similarly a report from law.com cited South Africa's EndAfrica as the first among 50 largest commercial law firms in Africa, lending credence to the benefits of partnership law firms.

Like other businesses law firm partnerships face challenges and fortunes, however everything depends on the leadership and how far their vision could take them.

My story would revive you; reset your mindset; whet your appetite for success and realize that the barrier between you and making money online is relevant skills that you can acquire in just 3 days.

PRESIDENTIAL V. PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION presidential parliamentary lawmakers constituency projects people government million Naira CorporateLeaders corporate social responsibility mindset community

The humongous disbursement of N500 million to lawmakers for constituency projects has sparked off a debate as to which type of constitution is more cost-effective than the other.

Nigeria recently changed government with the resultant ailing economy and hardship. Consequently 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 irrisistable. 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 organizing 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 N500 million 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.

PASSAGE OF EUROPEAN AI ACT 2024

Ikechukwu Odoemelam Esq, 

Corporate Attorney- I Consultant 

16 points you need to know about European AI Act is a brief account of the passage of the long awaited Act which the world want to model in order to combat AI 

While the case,Getty Images Inc and associates, against Stability AI, was still ongoing the long awaited European AI Act was passed into law, Wednesday 13th March 2024 by members of European Parliament. Getty had alleged Stability AI“scraped” millions of images belonging to Getty without its consent.

Getty's claims included copyright infringement, trade mark infringement passing off as well as database right infringement

Just as the defendant seemed not to come to terms with the main claim yet, instead they're entering 'no case submission' defence.

After a glimpse at the 'Act' classifications were dominant as one of the features of the Act. Here are some of the outstanding ones:

Unacceptable Risk AI Systems: AI systems posing significant risks to fundamental rights, safety, or welfare that are prohibited for use or restricted to prevent harm.

High-Risk AI Systems: AI systems with specific characteristics or applications that could pose significant risks to health, safety, or fundamental rights, subject to stringent requirements and oversight.

Limited-Risk AI Systems: AI systems with moderate risks, subject to certain obligations to ensure transparency, accountability, and user protection.

Minimal-Risk AI Systems: AI systems posing minimal risks to health, safety, or fundamental rights, typically exempt from extensive regulatory requirements but still expected to comply with basic standards.

Exempt AI Systems: AI systems falling outside the scope of regulatory oversight due to their negligible or insignificant risks.

Autonomy was embedded in the broad definition of AI.

A duty of fundamental rights impact assessment is now imposed on banks, insurers and governments.

AI systems and GPAI models now come with special transparency obligations.

A right to complain is provided for as well as mode of enforcement.

Bearing any errors or objections by European Council, the Act will come into force in May 2024.

Twenty days after Publication of AI Act in the Official Journal the Act will become enforceable.

Enforcement of prohibited AI practices begins after 6 months.

AI systems and GPAI models obligations commences in 12 months.

AI Act will apply in 24 months as well as most other obligations.

High-risk systems obligations listed in Annex II commence in 36 months time.

Public high-risk AI by authorities excluded from the market takes effect in 48 months.We need more information on the Act and responses from the general public as comments, reviews and critiques unfold. 

Till then,

QUICK OFFER TO NEWBIES

Congratulations once again if you're one of the 4,412 person's called to the Bar,⚖️ on 5th March.🗽💰 Among you was a former Governor and Transport Minister, Rotimi Amechi, just as we had former military Governors David Jemibewon and Yohanna Madaki during our call to the Bar.

Welcome to the job market for some of who would soon embark on job-hunting - good luck. But some of you entrepreneurship and independence💰 are beaconing on you.

For a lot of people especially school leavers, the dream of securing choice jobs soon become deflated after unsuccessful serious efforts at job-hunting. If that's you, don't be despondent.😞 Here're various activities to start making money online without much financial outlay. You sometimes marvel at how a lot of people are building money making businesses off and online and you're among them?

I was one of such people wishing to be making money effortlessly online but I got frustrated😡 and began to think that the results posted online about earnings were false. It took a while before I realized that the difference between those earnings 💵 and me are:

1. Lack of knowledge  2. Indiscipline

3. Impatience  4. Negative/poor mindset

5. No leverage

Soon after I embarked on the acquisition of the opposite of those 5 negative attributes which I'm offering to guide you through, I began to see results. And interestingly there's no other magic across the globe.

Something that comes near it is probably hiring someone who has acquired those skills and you employ his/her services but you'd get results that takes care of the cost of employing skilled manpower.

"Hello Ikechukwu,

Your wallet has been funded successfully! 🤑

The details are shown below:

Transaction Type: USD to USD Amount tendered: USD 25.58 Amount received: USD 25.32 "

This may not be significant earnings for someone who has been hungry for thousands and millions others are making online; but if this drops intermittently as a beginner wouldn't you be hopeful?😀

It happened to me.

INCIDENTS OF COLLAPSED BUILDINGS: PREVENTIVE/CURATIVE MINDSET AS PANACEA?

In 2022 alone 62 incidents of collapsed buildings 

occured in Nigeria. Towards the end of 2023 more than 

half of 2022 figure had occurred; raisins the question

whether measures are in place to abate the occurrences. 

Of course we'll know it's both national as well as states

issues. 

Let me start from acknowledgement of the

establishments of Building Code Advisory Committee

(BCAC) and Building Collapse Prevention Guild and the

mischief of their establishments. 

If the provisions of the National Building Code are

observed to the letter why do we have rampant incidence

of building collapses and defective structures leading to

accidents? Apart from security threats, loss of lives and

properties arising from these avoidable incidents it has

raised questions about the efficiency and capability of

professionals and government agencies responsible for

enforcing the provisions of the relevant laws.

These days it seems to me that we need to move fast 

with updates and amendment of our laws. The building

code was established long before digitalization, therefore

 it would not be out of place to ask for requirement

digitalized construction of structures to tally with global

standards.

There seem to be lapses along the line of all agencies

responsible for enforcement. We have to start from

creating awareness of the law sine Nigeria is largely rural

in construction compared to advanced countries. The

awareness is also necessary for those who apply and

enforce the laws.  For instance those who issue

approvals for buildings and constructions going on in the

communities should be held responsible in tort.

Many professionals are involved in the building and

 construction industry and it would be unfair to single out

 one professional for blame.  However, it amounts to

 criminal silence on the part of Quantity Surveyors and

 Construction and Cost Management professionals not to

 whistle-blow or report when buildings are being set up

 without proper compliance with relevant laws,

 specifications and approvals leading to their collapses.

Within six weeks into 2024 there have been several

incidents of collapse of defective structures arising from

fire or poorly constructed structures in Abia State.

The government should tackle the menace headlong.

THE POWER OF GEOMETRICS

The idea of "Integrated Power Project" IPP for ABA at a time Nigeria was crippled by NEPA failure, is unique and should be applauded.

The Electricity Acts of 2005 and 2023 put together so far, failed to achieve what they were intended to do; making the applause for Geometrics reluctant to quench.

Obviously these discos least expect to cooperate to promote "private alternatives" that would render their services unprofitable. For instance how did they respond to using their structures like distribution channels by consumers? 

This may not be understandable until you go through the Act and BPE (Bureau of Public Enterprises).

By way of suggestions the least to be expected is the possibility of the Discos entering into inter-Discos collaboration MOU and with alternative power providers to use existing structures, conduits, channels etc exchange power supply. But it would asking for too much to expect the Discos to perform like Geometrics.

I'm aware that part of the Act provided subsidized electricity for rural communities. That suggests that if the communities are making efforts on their own, the Government being a stakeholder and defender of rural communities would ensure that such efforts are not frustrated.

 How the Government plans to tackle power supply in Nigeria remains a conundrum unless they borrow a leaf from Geometrics. The implications are far-reaching because the Transmission Companies have to should be thinking outside the boxes. There're now numerous sources of generating energy.

How do we even address the dimensions of gas being a component of power generation in a country that flares gas?The minister's response often is that of shortage of gas which is a critical component of power supply.

Why can't we make gas supply as a separate commodity abundant, rather than flare it. At least this could stop the embarrassment the frequent collapse of national grid. I doubt if common ideas like this are directed to right and relevant destinations. If they don't as I suspect, the "Geometrics" out there know what to do with them.

Thanks for attention anyway.

NIGERIA'S WORSENING SOCIAL MALADY AND UNDERNOURISHMENT

I wonder how many people in Nigeria wake up and desire to listen to the news or newspaper headlines. Okay, someone says how can you avoid sources like that which announce weather, traffic, crime and terror flashpoints.

But the fact is that the safety and health notifications are now the most important news items.  Some of these probably sponsored by government agencies or corporate Institutions are largely because the governments' duty to provide security and welfare are crumbling from the federal to local level.

The rest of the news items would be dominated by the suffering of the masses. Soaring cost of basic necessities, school fees, transport etc , protests in Niger,  Kano and Delta. 

Apparently government indicated preparedness in the reduction of cost of Gas, instead increase occurred. And what do you hear now? That they're considering removal of electricity subsidy.

During Sam Amadi's Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) administration, I'm aware that part of the Act provided subsidized electricity for rural communities. That suggests that if the communities are making efforts on their own, the government being a stakeholder and defender of rural communities would ensure that such efforts are not frustrated.  

The world's is watching as Nigeria drops to low level in human development. "Nigeria's Human Development Index (HDI) value is at 0.539 and ranked at #161 of 189 countries in the world."  "Nigeria's life expectancy is 54 years (compared to a global average of 73)." 

Social Progress Indices of a country are based on certain critical aspects of human existence like their well being basic needs and drive for opportunities. Without these rudimentary environment restiveness, dispair would set in.

Between 1990 and 2015 halve of the globe lived under $1.25 per day.  During this period more than 90 million children were undernourished. That questioned United Nations (UN)'s Target 3 to eradicate hunger? Is Nigeria's Indices not showing how precarious the masses are with daily hues and cries?

During same period, 1990 and 2015 the UN's target 2 was to provide full and productive employment whereas 300 million workers were living below $1.25 per day.  Extrapolate these analysis to 2024, specifically to Nigeria. What do you see? Scary, isn't it?

The only word for those who find Nigeria's environment indescribable is #resilience.

QUINTESSENTIAL NATURE OF COMMUNICATIONS AS BRIDGE BETWEEN LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS

Whether as a lawyer, corporate consultant, copy writer, author, digital marketer or any professional, I found communication skills quintessential. For you to be able and ready to make this presentation or any other training presentation, you'd agree that the mode or bridge between you and your audiences is effective communication.  Without that, you and your knowledge would remain at one end while your audiences would be at the other end.

Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful leadership and organizational cohesion. In the intricate web of modern conglomerates, the ability to convey ideas, values, and goals is paramount for fostering a sense of unity and direction. This comment explores the quintessential nature of communication as a bridge between leaders and the led, drawing insights from successful conglomerates where robust communication strategies have played a pivotal role in their achievements.

1. Clear Articulation of Vision: A prime example of effective communication as a bridge is evident in the success of Apple Inc. Under the leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple's vision for innovation and user-centric design was crystal clear. Jobs was known for his charismatic communication style, which resonated with both employees and customers. His product launches were not just presentations; they were performances that conveyed a passion for excellence. This clarity in vision and the ability to articulate it contributed significantly to Apple's success.

2. Open and Transparent Communication: The quintessential nature of communication is further exemplified by companies that prioritize openness and transparency. Google, now a part of Alphabet Inc., stands out for fostering a culture of open communication. Employees are encouraged to share ideas and feedback freely. The company's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, created an environment where communication is not hierarchical but collaborative. This openness has contributed to Google's innovative culture and its ability to adapt swiftly to market changes.

3. Adaptability and Responsiveness: Conglomerates that thrive in dynamic markets demonstrate the importance of communication in adapting to change. Amazon, led by Jeff Bezos until his retirement, exemplifies this adaptability. Bezos was known for his annual shareholder letters, where he outlined Amazon's principles and goals. This transparent communication helped stakeholders understand the company's long-term vision and facilitated adjustments in strategy as needed. Amazon's success lies not only in its innovative approach to business but also in its ability to communicate and adapt swiftly.

4. Employee Engagement and Empowerment: Effective communication also plays a crucial role in engaging and empowering employees. General Electric (GE), under the leadership of Jack Welch, is a notable example. Welch implemented a communication strategy that involved frequent communication with employees at all levels. He emphasized the importance of sharing information, ideas, and goals throughout the organization. This empowered employees, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment that contributed to GE's success during Welch's tenure.

5. Crisis Communication and Reputation Management: The quintessential nature of communication is perhaps most evident during times of crisis. Johnson & Johnson's response to the Tylenol poisonings in the 1980s is a classic example. The company's CEO, James Burke, communicated transparently and decisively, recalling all Tylenol products from shelves and implementing new tamper-evident packaging. Burke's communication strategy not only protected public safety but also salvaged the company's reputation, showcasing the pivotal role of effective crisis communication.

Summary:

The quintessential nature of communication as a bridge between leaders and the led cannot be overstated. Successful conglomerates understand that communication is not just a tool for transmitting information but a strategic imperative that shapes culture, fosters unity, and drives success. Whether through clear articulation of vision, openness and transparency, adaptability, employee engagement, or crisis communication, effective leaders recognize the power of communication to build bridges that connect organizations and their stakeholders. As businesses continue to evolve in an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively remains a defining characteristic of successful leadership and thriving conglomerates.

GROPING THROUGH UNCERTAIN GLOBAL FUTURE

The 7th October, 2023 terrorist attack of Israel by Hammas drew global attention to neo-Nazism (hate) in the 21st Century. The consequential war is already taking a humongous toll.

In a case Africa brought against Israel for violations of the Genocide Convention, at the International Court of Justice in Hague, majority of the seventeen judges ruled that Israel should take steps to minimize harm to Gazans.

This ruling coincides with UN celebration of survivors of the Holocaust. UN reminded the world about the world about the consequences of hate, racism and other forms of discrimination. The purpose of the occasion was to support the voices of survivors of the Holocaust.

In world so uncertain and unequal and largely no templates nor direction to prosperity, you could comfortable in a decade and pauper the next.

Therefore one of the smartest way to create generational wealth is estates

 investment.  You don't wait until you accumulate huge capital base.  That's the conventional module available only for the rich and affluent.

For the average people globally you start with the little you can conveniently afford and progress infinatum.  This is in Chapter 1. of my ebook "A HOME OR A🏠 HOUSE".

 https://amazon.com/dp/B0BVRSQTCK

It's the safest form of investment which is not prone to any adverse economic cycle.

It's tangible asset you can easily turn into cash during emergencies.

Most business transactions requiring collaterals often find properties more acceptable than others.

Whether or not used as collateral properties appreciate every time, faster than and more reliable than any other form of investment. 

Perhaps it's the most used module for wealth transfer, gifts or inheritance among families.

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.

DATA AND AI: THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE 21ST CENTURY ECONOMY

As we stand on the cusp of the third decade of the 21st century, it is increasingly evident that data, propelled by the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), is emerging as the driving force behind the global economy, much like oil did in the previous century. The digital revolution has ushered in an era where data is the new currency, and its effective utilization through AI technologies is reshaping industries, economies, and the very fabric of society. The Rise of Big Data: The exponential growth of digital information has given rise to the era of Big Data. Every click, transaction, social media interaction, and sensor reading generates vast amounts of data. This abundance of information has become a valuable resource, providing insights, patterns, and trends that were previously unimaginable. Companies and governments alike are now leveraging Big Data to inform decision-making, enhance efficiency, and gain a competitive edge in an interconnected world. AI as the Catalyst: Artificial Intelligence, with its ability to analyze and interpret massive datasets at speeds far beyond human capacity, is the catalyst that transforms raw data into actionable intelligence. Machine learning algorithms, neural networks, and other AI techniques enable computers to learn from data, identify patterns, and make predictions or decisions. This capability is revolutionizing industries such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and more, as AI-driven insights drive innovation and optimization. Economic Impact: The economic impact of data and AI is multifaceted. In the 21st century, data-driven decision-making is enhancing productivity and efficiency across industries. Businesses can optimize their operations, tailor products and services to individual preferences through personalized recommendations, and streamline supply chains based on predictive analytics. AI-driven automation is reshaping the workforce, with the potential to create new job opportunities and redefine roles in various sectors. Innovation and Entrepreneurship: The fusion of data and AI is fostering innovation and entrepreneurship on an unprecedented scale. Startups and established companies alike are leveraging data analytics and AI to create novel solutions, disrupt traditional business models, and drive economic growth. The ability to harness insights from data allows for the development of cutting-edge technologies, from autonomous vehicles to personalized medicine, fueling a new wave of economic prosperity. AI in Healthcare: The healthcare sector exemplifies the transformative power of data and AI. Electronic health records, genomic data, and real-time patient monitoring generate vast datasets that, when analyzed by AI algorithms, lead to more accurate diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and improved patient outcomes. The healthcare industry is experiencing a paradigm shift, with data-driven approaches at the forefront of medical research, drug discovery, and disease prevention. Challenges and Ethical Considerations: Despite the immense potential, the rise of data and AI brings forth challenges and ethical considerations. Issues related to privacy, security, bias in algorithms, and the concentration of data and AI power among a few tech giants need careful consideration. As society becomes increasingly reliant on data and AI, it is crucial to develop robust regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines to ensure responsible and equitable use of these technologies. In conclusion, the 21st century is witnessing the ascendancy of data, propelled by the transformative capabilities of AI, as the driving force behind the global economy. Much like oil in the 20th century, data is shaping industries, influencing decision-making, and fueling innovation. The effective harnessing of data and AI has the potential to redefine economic landscapes, create new opportunities, and address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. As we navigate this data-driven era, a careful balance must be struck between innovation and ethical considerations to ensure a sustainable and inclusive future. Thanks for your time and attention.
