Why you need to go harder..... Naija

They say; regardless of how it goes down life goes on ...... you can either choose to live your life or let your life live you.  The world tends to bestow upon every individual a role to play, but you can choose to accept the role or tell the world; go f**k yourself.

Excuse my French,  i,m very passionate about being being different , especially in an environment where people thrive on  talking more but do less. A couple of months back like 3 months ago to be specific. i came across an article written by an info-tech correspondent, for  a popular media company who hinted that Africa especially Nigeria's future potential in the area of on-line business ( social commerce, E-commerce) will be  massive. Since everyone is going mobile it was only logical .

President Barrack Obama last month predicted Nigeria to be the next economic success story in the world. Hmmmm seems like a Wash statement right ? but when you take a look at the number American companies currently flying in to the country to set up shop, you better think again they all know something we don't know.

 Last weekend... i again stumbled upon a  blog post about " How 30 year old Ladi Delano created a billion dollar investment company" .

CEO, Bakrie Delano Africa (Nigeria)

 Rick Ross's hustle ain't got nothing on this Fresh Naija Bo$$. Quoting what he said at the end of the article Ladi said  " All entrepreneurs suffer periodic ups and downs and running a successful, profitable business isn’t easy. If it was, everybody would be doing it. But this is Africa’s time and the demand levels within our own continent’s domestic economy needs satisfying. This is a huge opportunity for entrepreneurial, hard working individuals.”

Enough said. The people who say there are no opportunities in Nigeria need to look again, and those who say things are hard .... well .... its time to go harder.

The Focus On Chithub's Potentials.

Lightning Bolt

All he needed was 9.63 seconds in London in other to smash his Beijing Olympic record of 9.69 seconds. Usain Bolt is simply an urbane athlete

Canada’s 1996 gold medalist Donovan Bailey, proving to be as good a prognosticator as he was an Olympic performer, had said it was going to take 9.6-something to win, and shrugged off all the negativity surrounding Bolt.

"Somebody is going to have to run a perfect race to beat Usain,” he said. No one else had ever come close to that kind of perfection. Bolt was the only one who knew the way. I can bet my money that Bolt can turn off the lights in his room and hit the sheets before the lights go off. That is what the world recognizes; Super Achievers, Bolt has that in mind delivers 100% and He's personal brand just keeps soaring.

   A couple of months back i had to attend a certain function not because it's a hobby of mine, but primarily because of a client. I had to psyche up myself to go because it was a long drive but the small chops made it worthwhile. Anyways before I made my way into the hall i spotted this makeshift stand, you get to see at functions, and the lady manning the station caught my attention ( don't judge me). After introducing her business i got interested because i've got keen interest in business, especially on-line business.

She called the name of her company chithub very catchy name and very easy to remember. Today's focus will on what chithub has to offer.

 Basically it an on-line business that provides a secure and reliable  E-commerce platform. With Central Bank Of Nigeria trying to promote cashless transactions in the economy, i have started noticing a few E-commerce platforms springing up gradually even though the awareness is still at a premature stage, the future looks promising.

Chithub Services

  On-line shopping and selling, reservations, auctions can be performed on this site on your laptop and mobile devices. They have got quite a number of companies operating on their clientèle base, which involves companies who seek for a way to make the products and services known to the populace.

 

 Seems like an ideal way for entrepreneurs to market their goods or services don't you think ? Actually this is the first E-commerce site i have stumbled upon in Nigeria that, offers an affiliate program.

The affiliate program is free and enables members to earn revenue by placing a link or links on their web site or blogs which advertises chithub or specific products on it. 

 

Any sales made to customers who have clicked on those links will earn "you" the affiliate a commission. The standard commission rate is currently 5%.

 

 Check it out and give me your feedback on your observations or experiences you have had with them and, if you have information of on-line business in Nigeria offering an affiliate program please share !

 

The Act Of Giving And Taking In Entrepreneurship

Where,s he running off to ?!

  And the games officially kicked off in London yesterday. I actually missed it though, because i felt it was gonna be the say same old display, like the previous opening ceremonies. Well to be frank i don't remember watching the previous opening ceremonies for the past Olympic games or even the world cup.

It's always takes too long .... I'm always like goshhhhh just get on with it already ! Our naija people never fail to represent as usual especially those dudes who wearing shades by 11 pm in the night. They were coming from a Dbanj concert that is the only logical conclusion, we are   still right behind you Team Nigeria.

I love creativity even before i actually understood what it meant, mainly because it portrays one as being original. I held that notion in my head till i bumped into this definition “Creativity is…seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how
you can bring it into being, and that way be a playmate with God.” - Michele Shea

It sure does take courage especially when you want to become an Entrepreneur. The absolute belief that people will actually buy into the goods or service you intend to offer takes a while to build on into once mind.

On my blackberry messenger when going through my updates i always notice hilarious display pictures on some of my contact's profile.

Is it Morroco or Osadebe that made this song ?

 
I was compelled to see more for myself so i went to the site myowndp.com, which seems to be the source for the pictures and saw the many Dps that were available for free download. Different pictures for different moods giving people the chance to express themselves on their BBM profiles.

Very creative and funny pictures i must admit and a catchy name for a site which will make the it stick to your head. But on instinct i began trying to analyze how the income flows in for this on-line business.

Don't blame me it's just a reflex, all thanks to my igbo blood. So obviously the heads behind this on-line enterprise where targeting a potential area, which is the creating a business-page service.

The Myowndp.com Team

Basically an organization, a musical artiste, seeking to build up it's brand equity, depending on your target market could use this service. Because the business page will provide a platform dedicated to your brand where your fans/customers can download display pictures expressing their love for your brand.

People love pictures, they simply offered the pictures for free which lead to increase in traffic unto their site thereby promoting the awareness about business page services, that they can offer to BRANDS. Very creative ... talk about the act of giving and taking.
