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.

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.

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.
