Self-Confessed Leader Of Dreaded Eiye Confraternity, Ibrahim Balogun aka Small Jpron Nabbed By Police


The Police in Lagos on Wednesday paraded a self-confessed leader of the Eiye Confraternity, Ibrahim Balogun, aka Small Jpron, for allegedly killing five persons during different cult wars.
The PUNCH reports that 29-year-old Small Jpron was arrested on Saturday by detectives attached to the Alade Police Division on Apata Street in the Somolu area of the state.

It was gathered that Small Jpron was arrested after some suspected cultists attacked the area on Saturday and the suspect came out with his boys for a reprisal.
Reports suggested that Small Jpron allegedly organised a gang which set a house ablaze in January 2016 on Oshinfolarin Street, Bariga, during which a 65-year-old woman, Adejoke Adefuye, was burnt to death.
A police source told The Punch that Small Jpron had been declared wanted for five murder cases in the Somolu and Bariga areas in 2016.
Speaking while being paraded at the command headquarters, Ikeja, on Wednesday, the suspect said he joined the cult to avenge the murder of his friend in 2009 by suspected Aye Confraternity members.
He said, “I am an Eiye cult leader. I joined the cult in 2009. The reason for my joining was to avenge the death of a close friend, Sunday Folorunsho, aka Small Biscuits.

'I handed over the best Nigerian government to Buhari' - GEJ says

In a recent statement, former president Jonathan said he handed over the best Nigerian government, and the largest economy in Africa to president Buhari. Read other things he said after the cut...
“I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World, with a GDP of $574 billion.
I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.

I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement.

In 2009, the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.

The former President stated that democracy will continue to grow in the African continent if leaders value the process of elections more than the product of the process.

Even in the 2015 general elections in my country, Nigeria, there was potential for major crisis if I was not a President duly elected by the will of the people.

The campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian vs Muslims and North vs South divide. Most World leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis.

Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls.

That is where the leadership question comes into play. As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first.

How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties?

With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through.

Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it.
My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body”.

NYPD rescue suicidal naked woman dangling perilously on top of an AC unit
A naked suicidal woman jumped from the window of an apartment – but was saved when she landed on an air conditioning unit two stories below.
The woman, who has not been named, jumped out of the window of a building in Marble Hill in The Bronx, New York, on Saturday morning.
Officers from the Emergency Service Unit managed to convince the woman not to take her life and pulled her back inside, the New York Post reports.

She tried to fight them off, but they managed to get her inside, clothed her and then carried her out on a stretcher.
The woman was taken to North Central Bronx Hospital, where she will have a psychiatric evaluation.



“She was saying that God is coming and everybody has to be better people, and we have to love each other,” Rosario said. “She was saying God loves us . . . and God loves everybody . . . and clean your house of bad things, bad energy.”
Neighbors called the police. They also put pillows and sofas outside beneath the air conditioner to cushion the woman’s fall in case she jumped.
The woman attempted to fight her rescuers, but they managed to pull her back in through the window.
Rescuers clothed the woman and then carried her from the building on a stretcher.

Africa’s richest man plans refinery to end Nigeria’s fuel woes

ALIKO DANGOTE 600
Aliko Dangote

A plan by Africa’s richest man to transform one of the continent’s largest oil industries is taking shape on a swampy piece of land outside Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos.

Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote is constructing a refinery that has the capacity to turn 650,000 barrels of oil into gasoline, diesel, kerosene and jet fuel – enough to potentially satisfy all the country’s daily needs.
When completed, it could end Nigeria’s reliance on imported gasoline and diesel.
A weeks-long shortage of imported fuel that occurred earlier this year is one reason why economists believe Africa’s biggest economy is poised to enter a recession.
“By and large, you are looking at the future of the country,” Dangote, who made his US$14.4bn fortune from his sugar, flour and cement companies, told journalists during a visit to the construction site of the refinery and adjoining fertiliser plant.
When Nigerians go to the pump, they’re usually filling up with imported petrol and diesel. The country has four refineries, but they barely work, so Nigeria exports its crude and buys back the fuel it needs.
Disputes and strikes have periodically led to disruptions in fuel importation, leading to shortages across the country.
By refining oil at home, Dangote says importation will end.
“I mean, it’s simple, you have it here. As you’re producing, it’s going into the market,” he said.

Supply and demand
Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and most populous country. Those aspects may ultimately undermine Dangote’s ability to serve the country’s fuel needs, said oil and gas analyst Bala Zakka.
Nigeria doesn’t produce enough power to keep the lights on all the time, and those who can afford it rely on gasoline or diesel generators.
As the population grows, Zakka says demand may outstrip supply.
“Strategic domestic, strategic commercial and strategic industrial are being run on generators. And those generators will require so much diesel and petrol. And that will mean we will not have even enough for the automobiles,” Zakka said.
Another problem Dangote may face is oil supply. Pipelines are targets for oil thieves and, more recently, organised militants. Attacks by a group calling itself the Niger Delta Avengers have cut Nigeria’s oil production by as much as half.
Refinery administrators have cited pipeline attacks as one reason they can’t produce enough gasoline.
Dangote plans to build the pipeline supplying oil to the refinery underwater, in hopes that will keep saboteurs away. He also plans to build two natural gas pipelines to feed power plants.
If Dangote’s refinery pays off, Zakka said it will be a signal to other refiners that Nigeria is ready for investment.
“I wouldn’t want to say he’s a guinea pig, but Dangote is definitely going to be a pilot test,” Zakka said. – VOA

Youth should ask themselves: ‘Where is the money to be made in agriculture?’

C.D. Glin
C.D. Glin
In some African countries, such as Kenya, there have recently been concerted efforts to encourage young people to venture into agriculture. But many youths have negative perceptions towards the sector, associating it with dirt and poverty. There are also various barriers to entry for the youth, such as lack of access to land and financing. In addition, the industry itself suffers from poor infrastructure, bad policies and weak market structures that have frustrated farmers for decades.
So is it realistic to expect young people to overcome all these hurdles? How we made it in Africa speaks to C.D. Glin, associate director for Africa at The Rockefeller Foundation, about why the narrative of youth and agribusiness needs to go beyond crop production. Below are edited excerpts.

Where are the opportunities in agribusiness for young people?
I think the entry point doesn’t always have to be in production in terms of actually tilling the land yourself. You can get involved at other points of the value chain – anything from the storage, processing, packaging or distribution. There are probably more entry-level, early-stage opportunities that can enable you to really understand what happens when crops leave the farm. It could be working at a supermarket in the dairy section or at a dairy-processing company, and then working your way back to actually owning cows.
I think the attractiveness of agriculture is going to come to the youth from beyond the farm. It is going to come from ICT, for example. Think of how to digitise the process of milk going from a farm to a store shelf, or doing actual milk transportation, or doing the marketing. We need to really expand the narrative to attract young people.
Something young people should ask themselves is, where is the money? Where is the money made in agriculture? Is it made on the production side or on the value-addition side? Is the money made on growing mangoes on the farm, or on processing those mangoes into dried fruit or juice? One kilo of fresh mangoes can sell for Ksh.100 (US$1), while one kilo of dry mangoes sells for Ksh.700 ($7). You make more money just by drying the mangoes and then selling them on the shelf, as opposed to selling them fresh on the roadside.
So if young people want to get involved in agriculture they should think about where it makes more sense to play. They should follow the money – the value addition, processing and storage part of the equation. The gap really is in value addition, especially with urbanisation and rising consumer spending.
From your observations, are young people actively getting into the industry, and which areas appear to be of interest?
It is really interesting. One area I see young people interested in is production, but not necessarily the production of cereals and grains. I don’t see young people getting excited about being maize farmers or sorghum farmers. I can tell you the success story of a guy who used to work in a bank and started growing strawberries through vertical gardening, and became a distributor to formal retailers here. So I see young people being interested in agriculture beyond cereals and grains. They are interested in horticulture and cash crops – not necessarily coffee and tea, but crops like avocado or mangoes. Higher value crops where you can see real dollar value from your level of effort.
Another area is in the ICT space. Is there an app for that? They are thinking of and building innovations around weather prediction, information sharing, disease prevalence and so forth.

But many tech start-ups targeting the agriculture sector have failed to generate real traction. Aren’t we overplaying the idea that I can build an app and manage to sell it to a 70-year-old farmer?
There have been surprising things that’ve happened in terms of technology adoption. Think of just using a phone to call the middleman. Twenty years ago you had to walk to go look for that guy.
Adoption is driven by the incentive and the value proposition. Does using this phone make my life easier and is there an economic return to the utilisation? Smallholders, whether rural or urban, are very economically rational. They don’t do things for the sake of doing. They won’t change to using a smartphone just because it is the newest thing. They don’t want to be early adopters. But if they understand that by using a certain mobile solution will save them X amount of money, that becomes an incentive to at least try. Let us not underestimate the speed and rate of change that can happen.
Think about M-Pesa – a grandmother in a rural village is transferring money without ever using paper. So let’s not underestimate the speed of change, but I agree with you, let’s also not overplay it.

The Nigerian entrepreneur with the swimwear brand for African women

 

Kambili Ofili-Okonkwo is the founder of Kamokini, a swimwear brand catering to African women.
Kambili Ofili-Okonkwo is the founder of Kamokini, a swimwear brand catering to African women.

“Money is not the only driver for me. It is definitely first about providing value. The money will come as long as there are people that you are providing value to.”
Nigerian Kambili Ofili-Okonkwo (28) is the entrepreneur behind the Kamokini swimwear brand, which has the African woman in mind.
The idea came from her own challenges with finding a swimsuit that she could feel both beautiful and comfortable in. Ofili-Okonkwo grew up in Nigeria, but moved to the UK to complete her high school and university education. It was here she discovered how few bathing suits catered for the bodies of African women.
“A swimsuit is kind of like wearing your underwear in public. So the inspiration for Kamokini came out of a self-conscious need to feel beautiful and comfortable, and look confident while I’m so exposed.”
She first started designing her own costumes in 2011 and it wasn’t long before friends and family asked her to design for them too. But it was only once she moved back to Nigeria in 2014 that Ofili-Okonkwo saw the potential to turn her designs into a business.
“People who saw my swimsuits on [mutual friends] started asking if they could get one too. And the more this happened the more I realised people actually want this,” she recalls.
“I decided to start with a small collection because I didn’t have much funds and was using my own savings to see if this idea could come to fruition.”
She contacted factories in China and Turkey, and brought out her first few designs. She began selling through a handful of stockists in Nigeria, as well as on her own website. Today she also supplies retailers in Ghana and the US.
Ofili-Okonkwo is currently conducting market research into designing swimwear for the many different proportions seen in African women.
“The biggest difference between the West and Africa is our proportions… [African women] might have a bigger butt compared to their chest and you can find really skinny girls who have larger bra cups… You get that a lot in Africa. We are just more voluptuous,” she continues.
“Yet no one has really tapped into the fact that things have to be turned on its head to be made for us. So that’s kind of where I am now. I’m trying to completely change this… and it is taking a little bit of research and development.”
Kamokini designs.
Kamokini’s designs can be found at a handful of stockists throughout Nigeria, as well as on its website.

Production: Local vs foreign
Outsourcing clothing manufacturing to countries such as China and Turkey comes with its pros and cons. On the one hand, these markets already have the skills and infrastructure required to produce quality garments.
“And in that regard it’s more cost effective because you do not have to develop the skill set yourself,” Ofili-Okonkwo explains.
“Plus you have less quality issues and less re-runs. The skill set is so good that you have less rejects. You work with more experienced hands.”
However, she notes that the benefits of foreign expertise are often counteracted by the high cost of importing.
“The custom clearance fees you pay are so high when you import into the country that it substantially eats into the benefits of that cost reduction [from outsourcing manufacturing].”
Local manufacturing allows entrepreneurs to have more control over supply and they can execute decisions faster.
“Because it’s closer to home you can change things quicker. So you can decide a particular style might not be selling as well as you thought and can quickly make decisions to re-work it… Whereas it takes a lot of time to start shipping mistakes or defaults back to factories abroad.”
Ofili-Okonkwo says domestic production is ultimately the only way forward for her brand, especially with the recent devaluation of the naira which has considerably increased the cost of imported goods.

‘Don’t be afraid to be the bad guy’
While Ofili-Okonkwo says she has always had an entrepreneurial mind, there have been some parts of running her own business that she has had to learn to adapt to. For starters, she finds it difficult to delegate tasks to others and instinctively wants to micro-manage.
“When it’s your business and your dream, it is very hard to let go and believe that other people can share that dream as much as you do. So I think sometimes I have gotten too hung up on the fact that this is my dream and I haven’t let people execute to their fullest capacity.”
However, she adds that entrepreneurs also need to trust their own instincts and must not be afraid to be the “bad guy” when it comes to demanding results.
“I like to consider myself as a nice, friendly person. I don’t like offending people and I don’t want to be the bad guy. But in business you have to be able to put that aside at times and actually get down to it,” she says.
“I find I’m constantly training myself on how to talk to people and give them constructive feedback when they are not doing what I need them to do. In the end, if you can’t say how you really feel, the only person that suffers is you… And I’m still working through being able to speak my mind irrespective of who I think I am going offend or who is not agreeing with what I think.”
She warns aspiring entrepreneurs to ensure they have the willpower to keep going through the tough times before going into business.
“You need to be able to be disciplined enough to push through those bits. And if you can’t do it, don’t expect someone else to be able to sacrifice that time or effort to do it for you. That is definitely something I would say is important in business,” she emphasises.

Serial entrepreneur Simeon Ononobi is going global with a new way to advertise

Simeon Ononobi, founder of MyAds

MyAds, the newest venture from Nigerian serial entrepreneur Simeon Ononobi, helps deliver advertisements directly to target audiences.
The app allows advertisers to select specific demographics based on factors like gender, location, income and age. The ads are then connected to the chosen users, who earn reward points by allowing them to appear on their phones during incoming calls.
The points can be exchanged for cash, vouchers, coupons, airtime, and other rewards that correspond to the MyAds partners’ products.
Redemption partners differ from country to country, says Ononobi. In Lagos, for example, users will soon be able to use their points to buy bus tickets or get through toll gates.

Rewards – too good to be true
The size of the reward depends on how the user interacts with the advert that is displayed. If they visit the advertiser’s website or buy one of their products, for example, they get paid more. And there are conditions in place to make sure that the system can’t be abused. A call must last long enough that the caller has spent more money on the call than the value of the reward they receive.
Partners are also paid differently depending on their role and contribution. “Let’s assume the advertiser pays us 10 naira per impression. We give the user five naira, we keep five naira, which we give to different partners. So if the telcos are involved we give to them; if agencies that are bringing advertisers come on board, we give them part of that,” explains Ononobi.
However, MyAds faces a unique issue in that many of its users in Africa see it as something that is too good to be true, finding it hard to believe that they could get paid just for seeing an ad.
This and other snags, according to Ononobi, will be worked out as the company gains momentum, which it seems set to do: the app currently has about 80,000 users and over 15 advertisers, including MTN, Airtel, Pass.Ng, United Bank for Africa, Co-Creation Hub Nigeria and AfroCab.

Solving global problems
Over the course of his career, Ononobi has found solutions to many African problems. These include an app for GT Bank; Backup My Phone (which he later sold); SimplePay; and YouWIN!, a programme designed for the Nigerian government to drive youth entrepreneurship.
These solutions were created within and for an African context. MyAds, however, will be different. He plans to take it global, as well as expanding across Africa.
Already it has reached its first new continent. Launched September last year, MyAds has since been introduced in India, and is spreading across Africa fast.
“So, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda – those are the ones we are going to instantly, almost immediately. They are where we’ve found great partners and where we have tested a bit – and the reception we got was really awesome,” says Ononobi.
In India, MyAds users can use their points to pay for services like water and electricity, an option that could benefit African countries in the not-too-distant future.
It’s important for Ononobi to try and solve problems experienced globally, not just those endemic to Africa. “The more I travel, the more I try to relate to the communities and the places I go to, to see if I can solve a global problem rather than a local one,” he says.

Nigerian vs Silicon Valley
Ononobi has been part of the budding Nigerian tech space for many years and believes that it could one day rival Silicon Valley. “Right now, before investors put money into ventures in Nigeria, you have to show some form, some kind of traction. It’s different in Silicon Valley, where all you need to do is show a great idea and you have investors just pumping money into it,” he says.
He sees the Nigerian way as a stronger model. He believes that if ventures show that they will be successful and generate revenue on their own, they’re more likely to do well once they receive the investment needed to scale up.
“M-Pesa should not be our only success story. We should be able to grow and teach the world what needs to be done. So I believe that all we need to do is just have one, two, three, four success stories and we will be bigger than Silicon Valley.”

Failed businesses: A path to entrepreneurial success.

 

notes business plan 600x350
Sometimes knowing when to start again is the best thing you can do as a budding entrepreneur. ActionCOACH’s Pieter Scholtz discusses using a failed business idea as a platform for success.
To be a truly successful jockey, you’re going to have ride a lot of horses. There’s no way to tell how well a horse will compete on race day until it’s on the track – and by then, what you thought would end in success, might be headed for a fall. It can be the same for entrepreneurs. Few have an idea that is an immediate success – and some simply never get out of the gate, no matter how passionate or rambunctious an entrepreneur you are.
It’s a hard reality to face, but facing that failure and learning from it is crucial if you’re still going to make a success of yourself. See, a successful business should not be your ultimate goal; instead, it’s a means to an end. Your goal should be to fulfil your aspirations – to live a comfortable life, or retire to a beach house on the coast. So when something isn’t working in your business, the trick is not to abandon the sport, but to find a new horse. But how do you know when it’s time?

Reassessing your business model
The first step is to re-articulate your business model – to flesh it out on paper and really think it over. Ask yourself: Is what you’re offering merely a copy of a service or product offered by a competitor, or is it a genuine innovation? If it’s the former, it’s time to call it quits. Moderately better goods and services as well as price-cutting doesn’t work, at least not in the long term. However, if you believe you’ve got something that will truly disrupt the market place, then you should keep at it.
Once you’ve established that, it’s time to take a look at the value proposition of your business. If your stakeholders, business partners or customers are left pondering your business’ existence, it’s time to throw in the towel. Innovative or not, a business will never see profitability if it cannot improve the lives of its customers, or solve their problems.
Just be sure not to let your risk overshadow the return possible. When expenses continue to flow out and there simply aren’t measures in place to prevent your capital from steadily declining, the risk is too high. You can usually tell because running your business has become a lot scarier than it is fun.

A failed business does not mean the entrepreneur has failed
If your current business is all but guaranteed to fail, what you need to do is to fail fast and fail cheap. When it looks like it’s not working, it helps to be agile, to quickly adapt and take another crack at the market, or perhaps, a new market altogether.
Learn from your failure, identify a model that will generate revenue and focus on building that new business model. Pumping more capital into a failing business will not suddenly make it profitable. Instead, as the jockey, you need to find a new, faster, better horse.

Patience is a virtue
It’s worth mentioning that starving yourself should never be a part of the plan. It sounds obvious at first, but you’d be surprised by what a determined, budding entrepreneur will give up to fulfil their dream. Always remember that failing cheap also refers to putting your mental health and well-being first. Sticking with a sinking ship will only alienate your employees, friends and family, and your morale and confidence will eventually succumb to the pressure.
That includes taking care of yourself while you re-evaluate the market place. Just because you’re in the planning stages of a second, or even third attempt at a business, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat. Have some work to fall back on while you plan your new business. Yes, it will likely slow you down a little, but patience and preparedness is key. Urgency may mean missing the right angle of attack – a death knell to your next business, before it even starts.
Remember to ask yourself the hard questions: Why do I believe my business will succeed? What am I willing to sacrifice to make it work? And to really commit to it. To sacrifice it all for your business – especially if its plan isn’t clear – is to put the horse before the jockey, which doesn’t make a lot of sense.
