First Bank Plc is the largest company in Nigeria; Dangote Group, The Most Profitable Company; Julius Berger Plc, The Highest Employer of artisans and informal labour; Oando Plc, The Highest Revenue Earner; D'banj the highest paid entertainer, Zenith Bank Plc, The Most Capitalised Company And Dangote Cement, The Most Valuable Company in Nigeria. Also on the rise as world class Nigerian emerging brands comes Globacom, Wizkid, GTbank... Where do you stand in all these. Are you among the: 81 percent of Nigeria's working graduates that earn below N100,000. 57 percent of these claimed "working adults" and "entrepreneurs"are logically unemployed (they are either being owed, are the "MD/CEO" of their "one man business", claim to work as a "no choice" so they won't be considered idle, frustrated, to get by or engaged to a job they hate). How did we get here. These group can not shake the GDP of this country. They only widen a gap. There's a gap between the successful and the struggling. The Pareto's management 20: 80 theory is so true here. In Nigeria, less than 20 percent of the people controls more than 80 percent of the wealth. The problem is that there is a gap between the cliché knowledge our schools are teaching, the craps they are graduating and the real life we face. Else, what's your First Class, 2.1, 2.2 if you can not use it to solve problems that would add value and shake the economy profitably (Business). "A degree is a certificate that shows we went to school, not of being educated or being able to solve a problem". We can do much better. We are ArchMedia. We help to manage your event.

13 things you’ll find yourself doing between now and New Year.

Maybe it’s some kind of turkey-induced coma or maybe it’s just the dark nights catching up with us. Either way you’ll probably find yourself doing at least one of these between now and New Year’s. 1.

Wearing all the new items of clothing you’ve been given, possibly at once, to prove to the family how much you like them (and that they definitely won’t be getting shoved to the back of the wardrobe then taken to Oxfam after three ye...
