Many salute to PROFESSOR KAMAR T. ADELEKE

Adeleke explained that 2.4 billion naira was spent in setting up the Centre at Ogun, a bulk of the money went to infrastructure, equipment and consumables. ‘’The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) partners with us. It pays half of the treatment fee for children below age five, meaning they pay two million off every child below the age of five.

We at Tristate formed a foundation called Tristate Heart Foundation (THF) to help raise funds for people who need surgery. We organise awareness campaigns talking about the heart and all things related to the heart, how to prevent high blood pressures, how to prevent sudden death. But due to FOREX, the hospital still owes about N700million.That does not mean we compromise on services.” https://www.medicalworldnigeria.com/2016/07/lsquo-centre-offers-world-class-cardio-treatment-rsquo#.WZy-iNKGPIU

Ngozi Madueke-Dozie, Manager, iflix Nigeria



Nigeria’s quantum subscriber base, our major attraction –
Ngozi Madueke-Dozie.



Poised to transform the way Nigerians access content and
avert piracy by providing affordable diverse content, iflix has
berthed in Nigeria.

The company’s country Manager, Ngozi Madueke-Dozie has
been in the communication, entertainment and technology
sectors for 12 years and has served as tech expert in various
companies, including MTN, Iroko and Bicom of Mtv Base,
before porting to iflix. In this interview, she reveals iflix’s
blueprint for Nigeria’s teaming 51 million smart phone users.





Why is iflix in Nigeria?
Nigeria would have up to 75.9 million people online by 2020
and we want to key into that. This nation is pertinent in iflix’s
goal to transform the way one billion people view content.
Nigeria has a population of 192 million; 135 million of that
number is around 30 years of age. Mobile subscribers are at
151 million while, mobile broadband base is 91million with
51million smart phone users. Mobile internet traffic is 76
percent; internet and smart phone penetration are 53 and 30
percent respectively. This is the place to be.
The potential that Nigeria has to offer is existential.
Ultimately, Nigeria is existential in iflix’s existence, in terms of
our goal in Africa. We are trying to reach a billion people but
first of all we need to reach the most populous, we will still
get to the less populated countries, but in terms of relevance
and importance, we cannot come to Africa without launching
in Nigeria or without first being successful in Nigeria.
Most importantly, we are here to feel the pulse of Nigerians, to
build Nigerian based content and give the people only what
they want.
What is iflix?
We are a leading Subscriber Video on Demand platform
founded in Malaysia two years ago. We are now in Nigeria
and in partnership with over 200 studios and distributors in
the world. Simply put, iflix is an application where you can
watch and download movies. With iflix you have access of
thousands of content from Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood,
sports, cartoons, series, you name, we have it. You can access
iflix with N800 monthly with the first month being free. Iflix is
how we intend to combat piracy by giving people quality,
convenient and affordable options from an array of highly
diverse content.
How does iflix generate content?
Our goal is to create our own content, which is not only unique
to us but it is sought after and subscribers will be more than
willing to pay for it. We have sports highlight on the
application, we are however looking to get life feeds.
There are movie houses that have movies exclusive to their
viewing platform. The truth is that content is king and you will
always have to pay for content if you are not generating your
own content. Eventually, there will be iflix exclusives.
Nigerians can send content to us by mailing Ali Yakubu, the
Content Aquisition Manager at ali@iflix.com or bring it to us
on the 1st floor, Workstation, at 7, Ibiyinka Olorunbe Close,
Victoria Island, Lagos.
How can iflix be accessed?
First step is to download the application from your mobile
store, like Playstoreb for instance. Next step is search and
download. After the first month ubscription is N800 per month
as opposed to other than charge N1,000 and pay TV which
goes for N4,500. Invariably, the average 20 minutes series will
cost 25mb, so with 1GB data you can get a full season. We are basically cheaper and we bill in dollars. We have over five
million members and five billion minutes of movies streamed
since it was launched in 2015.
What are your plans to censor content?
We are talking with religious bodies to get religious content
for interested subscribers. We are also following the guidelines
of the Nigerian Film and Video Censor Board, NFVCB, to
ensure that only content that fits their specifications, are on
iflix Nigeria.
Also, iflix has a parental control feature which gives parents
the ability to determine the kind of contents their children
view. There isthe support section where users can lay their
complaints concerning the application, in case of any.
How does the presence of iflix improve employment in
Nigeria?
We think beyond our direct employment; thousands of youths,
as talent, movie producers and marketers are going to get
employed due to the existence of this service in Nigeria. This
is because we are offering a safe and far reaching portal that
is piracy free and suited for the Nigerian audience.

percent of Nigerians owning a smartphone..


We are uniquely great!

Video on Demand platform
founded in Malaysia two years ago.

Lord knows there is a lot of online video out there these days, but only a tiny proportion of it has been transcribed (less than 1% according to some estimates). Searching the mountains of video generated by businesses, governments and educational institutions for the valuable information within is almost impossible because the words hidden in the audio are invisible to search. Waiting for it is not just the world, but the many people who can’t access that video because of their disabilities. Transcription unlocks the gold-dust buried in them there video hills.

This would involve transcription on a vast scale, but this is exactly the problem Koemei aims to tackle. It’s a SAAS platform for speech recognition in video. Today at TechCrunch Disrupt it announced it has completed an integration with YouTube’s API in preparation for a potential launch. It also announced the successful completion of its first pilot with the University of Geneva and IMD Business School.

Simple video lectures can be uploaded, translated, linked to and visible on other platforms like YouTube. Users get to see an interface where they can go through the lecture and check the transcription.



Based out of Martigny, Switzerland and with offices in San Francisco, Koemei is a startup leveraging years of academic research. It was spun out of the Swiss Institute of Technology (Idiap institute), which worked with Sheffield University and Edinburgh University on a seven year EU-funded project (which has about $30 million spent on it already). Koemei acquired all the IP under a transfer agreement, has a patent pending and now plans to use its platform to transcribe video content on a super-scale.

The problem they are out to solve is obvious. Manual transcription is expensive (as much as $5 per minute). They claim to reduce the cost down to $0.09 a minute. The startup estimates the market for video transcription is around $16 billion annually, given that there are around 120,000 people doing this work in the U.S. alone. It anticipates there will be a 21% year on year growth in the business. The market for corporate and educational video is clearly the most lucrative here.

Koemei claims its automated transcription program works better than current systems from the likes of Nuance, because it not only transcribes the video’s soundtrack into words, but also produces an interface for humans to check the transcription. This can be open to the public or closed off for designated users. In other words, it ends up being like a crowdsourced effort to check an AI’s transcription, making it far more accurate than AI alone. An hour audio takes an hour to transcribe, claims the startup.

The transcriptions can be pushed to YouTube, Vimeo etc and you get the first 10 hours of transcription free, just in case you need convincing that it works. Of course the technology needn’t just work for the likes of YouTube. There is also videoconferencing, telepresence, web collaboration, group meetings, classroom lectures, webcast; the list goes on.



So far they’ve done a pilot rollout with some university partners which has brought in some revenues and proved the model. Next up will be more partners, plus an enterprise solution they want to offer to the likes of Vimeo, Brightcove, and Kaltura among others.

On the horizon, their potential competition is Nuance, Google (Google Voice) and solutions like Amazon Mechanical Turk. This is not exactly a weak opposition, but they reckon they can beat all comers. They claim Nuance has issues with long conversations; Google Voice is low quality and closed for other platforms; and mechanical turk solutions involving people are pricey – and may even be customers for Koemei in the end.

The startup predicts it could have $44.9 million in sales by 2014, with a potential exit to any number of players including, not unexpectedly, most of their opposition.

Backed with Angel funding, they’re now raising a $1.5 million Series A round, following a commitment from a European early-stage VC.


The team is led by Temitope Ola, formerly of Silicon Graphics, and comprises three others, most of whom worked on the platform during its academic development.

In accordance with Education Law §2-d, as Chief Privacy Officer, Ms. Akinyemi’s duties will include to: lead investigations of security breaches and privacy-related emergencies and recommend required actions to NYSED executive management; provide technical assistance, including model policies, to educational agencies within the State on minimum standards and best practices associated with privacy and the security of student, teacher and principal data; establish a protocol for submitting complaints of possible breaches of student, teacher or principal data; and consult with the Commissioner to develop regulations establishing standards for educational agency data security and privacy. With input from parents, education and expert stakeholders and the public, Ms. Akinyemi will also review and enhance the Department’s existing Parents Bill of Rights for data privacy and security.

The platform is an online store gift superstore for seasons, occasions and events, making it easy for individuals and corporate bodies to order branded souvenirs, gifts, corporate gifts and promotional items for different purposes.
Users ordering sovernirs for parties, and events of any type can also customise the party packs/sourvenirs before ordering, and have it delivered.
According to the founder, “We have a network of manufacturers and suppliers locally and internationally, and we fulfill customer orders using a special drop shipping method”.

We believe that all women are beautiful and exquisite and they deserve to look it. Our goal is for women to complete their outfits with beautiful footwear without breaking the bank.

BeauBelle Africa was inspired by simply wanting to have ready-made Ankara/African Print clothes for Children, I felt Adults were well catered to and there was a void for children, also having my daughter in 2014 was a big push for me because I pictured seeing her in cute clothes made from vibrant prints. The idea for BeauBelle Africa was birthed April 2014, and a full year after May 8th 2015 BeauBelle Africa’s site went live and ready for people to shop. I currently run BeauBelle Africa while working full time.
