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.

https://facebook.com/groups/333916450787927/

Or DM us indicating interest to receive 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.

Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE CONSTANCY OF CHANGE

#corporateleaders

Just got up, and not quite feeling to start my daily routines but a glance at the headlines jolted me.  "Elon Musk displaces Jeff Bhezeos to become the world's richest person".

I thought that's expected. Who wouldn't foresee that, in these days when fluctuation in Bitcoins price makes you the richest in the morning and perhaps poorer in the evening.  A lot of people have been the legendary number 1, but change kept them where you find them today. Then a snap. Later in the day, having read full report a few more issues came to my mind. 

For instance unconfirmed media reports revealed that Jeff Bhezeos just had a divorce, which took about $43 billion alimony to his erstwhile spouse.

Wealth creation and philanthropy are close associates. The former is usually the products of enterprise, economy and heritage.  While the latter is as a result of acts of benevolence due to sympathy for humanity, causes and or desire to change the status quo positively.

Virtually everyone likes to associate with individual and human progress. It satisfies human desires, as well as boosts egos and social status. In response society and communities celebrate the the wealthy, the rich and the affluent. These phenomena are corroborated by Hollywood, Nollywood, Bollywood and other 'wood' video films.

While some pursuit of wealth creation are strictly profit maximization endeavors, which don't allow dilution of that goal, others deploy some chunk of the wealth to humanitarian and developmental causes. This latter act is corporate social responsibility.

Acts of corporate social responsibility is like caring for those you met while ascending the ladder, because you might need them when you're descending.

Corporate institutions' response of competition is just natural. Everyone likes a jolly good friend. Every business entity as much as individuals, would like to be seen on the scoreboard of corporate social responsibility.

Therefore the convention of ranking them and their donors by Bloomsberg, Forbes, Fortune etc. emerged. The desire, the tempo and clamor to be recognized went high.

It has become part of our social life and for some a lifestyle to check 'whoruns' to find out who change has made the richest and watch for him/her to be replaced the next morning.

Today, it has become the norm for the richest persons to be evaluated according to their acts of corporate social responsibility, even though that affects their ranking.  Perhaps that explains why Bill Gate's name has been missing for some time now.

EPITOME OF CSR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN ALUMINA

Copied "The acting Dean of Medical College, University of Ibadan,Prof Adebola Ogunbiyi ,invited all the old students who are now doctors produced by the college to a zoom meeting. The reason for the meeting was not farfetched. The professor was sick with worry about the infrastructure decay and rot at the medical college she oversees in Ibadan. She is aware that the Nigerian government is too broke to fund it, so she came up with a master stroke, which was to tap into the resources and social capital of the alumni produced by the medical college scattered all over the world to give the medical college a facelift. A Zoom meeting was fixed on Monday, two days ago, and the link was sent to the former students of the medical college. Starting off the meeting, Prof. Ogunbiyi narrated the challenges and plight the current medical students at the college are facing. The current medical students of the college need a new hostel and their classes also need to be refurbished. The acting Dean of the college ended her speech by appealing to the alumni of the college to support her in rebuilding and restoring the lost glory of the medical college. Her speech opened the floodgates of donations from the medical doctors produced by the Medical College, University of Ibadan. The donations were coming in trickles. 1 million naira here 200,000 there. Until it got to the turn of Dr. Philip O. Ozuah(attached in the picture), an old student of the college who is currently the President and CEO of Montefiore Medicine in New York. Philip Ozuah did not say too much as he went straight to the point of making a donation of $1,000,000 (700,000,000). In his words, UI’s medical college shaped and refined him into the man he is today, so he has the duty to give back to the school. When Dr. Philip announced the $1,000,000 donation, all of the old students in the zoom session began shouting, "Wow!" Wow, like an ambulance’s siren. Even the dean, who called the zoom meeting, was speechless as she did not see that coming. None of the old students of the medical college could donate again since Ozuah had set a standard they could not match. From shouting Wow! Wow! The Zoom fundraising meeting came to an end with the closing prayer said immediately. It should be noted that Ozuah had his medical degree certification at the University of Ibadan and did his internship at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital before he proceeded to Southern California for his Master's program and got his PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Let no one deceive you; legit money is good and makes life very easy to live and navigate. Copied
