MOTIVATION CORNER...

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.

Okorocha seeks unity among Igbo traders in Lagos

Ndigbo must understand Nigeria’s politics, he says BY GILBERT EKEZIE Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha, last Sunday met with leaders of various Igbo trad­ers’ associations in Lagos. The meet­ing held at the Excel Oriental Hotel and Suites, along Airport Road, Mafoluko, Oshodi. The meeting, which came few weeks after the Imo Liaison Office in Lagos organised a well-attended South East Busi­ness and Investment Summit in Lagos, centred on sensitisation, empowerment and development of Igbo traders in Lagos for a better output. Addressing the traders, Okorocha expressed gratitude for the turnout at the forum. The governor regretted, however, that the Igbo, despite their large numbers in Lagos, failed to unite to achieve their objec­tives, especially in the area of influencing some certain decisions in the state for a more conducive business environment. “I am surprised to hear that Ndi...

I made N6m as a fake lawyer

Olawale Falola  | credits: Olufemi Atoyebi A fake lawyer, Olawale Falola, said he made N6m from his victims who he promised to help secure jobs at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Falola, who was nabbed by the Oyo State Police Command during a stop-and-search in Ibadan recently, claimed to be a dropout of a university in Osun State, adding that he had deceived more than 100 people with his fake identity.

I have made up to N4m from the practice out of which I bought a Toyota Corolla car. I lived in Osogbo. I came to Ibadan to visit my family when I was arrested by the police.” The car, valued a...
