Don't Biafrans kidnap and kill each other?

Aren't Biafrans wicked to each other?

Don't Biafrans push drugs?

Don't Biafrans do rituals in their evil forest?

Don't Biafrans sell their babies for money?

All the aforementioned [i.e lecturers] also happens in Biafra.

[size=18pt]Facebook and Jumia inspire Nigerian entrepreneurs with growth ideas[/size]


Last Thursday, Facebook and Jumia Nigeria partnered to host the first ‘Boost Your Business’ event in Nigeria at the Landmark Event Centre.

More than 500 Nigerian entrepreneurs gathered to network, hear about marketing best practices, and learn about how they can use Facebook and Jumia to grow their businesses.

The event served as a rallying call for Nigerian entrepreneurs, who have an invaluable role to play in growing the country’s economy.

The one-day workshop provided entrepreneurs and business owners with best practices and advice from top business owners, illustrating how using Facebook and Jumia can help them maximise sales on Black Friday, this Friday 27th of November. The first 200 people that registered each received a N5,000 voucher for Facebook Ads.

The backbone of the economy

“We enjoyed sharing our ideas at last week’s workshop about how effective, easy to use, and mobile social media solutions can help Nigerian entrepreneurs accelerate the growth of their businesses,” said Nunu Ntshingila, Head of Facebook Africa.

“SMEs are the backbone of Nigeria’s economy and encouraging entrepreneurial activity is critical to its growth and development. As of May this year, more than half the people on Facebook in Nigeria were connected to an SME.”

Added Jeremy Doutte, CEO of Jumia Africa: “Jumia is proud to partner with Facebook in Nigeria for the very first time. We are delighted to host an event for the booming Nigerian business community and our sellers in particular, providing them with a better understanding of how they can use Jumia and Facebook to grow their businesses exponentially.

Black Friday is also around the corner and we have been witnessing already 100 times more traction on our website than the traction we had last year for this sale. This event was thus an opportunity for us to bring our sellers together, and coach them on how to make the most of Black Friday”

With more than 15 million monthly active mobile users, 16 million total monthly active users, and 7.1 million daily active users in Nigeria, Facebook is the mobile solution for Nigerian businesses of all sizes.

Facebook is where customers spend their time

“SMEs are the engines for job growth in the world economy, accounting for 80% of jobs worldwide.

As a platform that democratises marketing, Facebook can help small businesses to reach their full potential,” says Ebele Okobi, Facebook’s Head of Public Policy for Africa. “We give them a platform to advertise where customers already spend their time and make it easy for small businesses to communicate with people anytime, anywhere.”

Nigerian start-ups and small businesses are already benefitting from the way that Facebook helps them to talk to customers in an affordable, personalised manner. Jay Osbie Clothing, a seller on Jumia for example, is using Facebook to promote its brand for fashion-forward men and bring interested customers back to his shop on Jumia.

“Facebook is significantly cheaper than other channels. Actually, it’s not even comparable,” says Jay Osbie, the founder. His Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/jayosbie/?fref=ts) has 6,500 fans and his Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/jayosbie) has 1,800 followers.

Jay produces strong visual content and reached an Average Relevance score of 7 out of 10. He also recently ran link ads and paid $260 for 14k clicks ($0.02 per click).

Girly Essentials, a one-stop shop for affordable and unique women’s products, has 176,000 fans on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GirlyEssentials/?fref=ts) and 3,200 followers on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/girlyessentialsshop). It’s all about building a community, says founder Chinma Nwaozuzu, adding, “People ask how I’ve grown my business – I say Facebook – ads on Facebook.”

Chinma does not have a team of people; “it is only Chinma!” she says and adds that she has grown her business by building trust through building a community first.

[size=22pt]Nigerian start-up Paga attracts foreign backers[/size]





When Tayo Oviosu quit his job in the US technology sector to return to Nigeria in 2008, he was a man in search of an idea. In common with many other start-up visionaries, his eureka moment sprang from an everyday frustration: in his case the need to carry large bundles of naira because cash machines and card readers seemed perennially on the blink. The result was Paga — the country’s answer to PayPal — which this year crossed the threshold of $1bn of transactions since inception.

Paga’s story would be notable solely for the light it sheds on the thrill-ride of entrepreneurship in Nigeria, where investors have tended to focus on the established oil and banking sectors rather than assume the considerable risks of starting new businesses from scratch.
More

But Paga’s prospects also have implications for Nigeria’s broader trajectory. If the six-year-old company is able to find private equity investors or other backers, its service could play an even bigger role in supporting the small- and medium-sized enterprises needed to diversify an economy long distorted by the oil industry.
“What was driving me was my own frustration of carrying cash in Nigeria — I was banking at two different banks, point of sale machines were never working, ATMs always had errors,” says Mr Oviosu, founder and chief executive. “If Nigeria is going to be the economic juggernaut we think it can be, we need to solve payments.”
Africa’s mobile banking revolution has been well documented in countries such as Kenya, where city-dwellers increasingly rely on phones to send earnings to relatives in their home villages. In Nigeria, which has a more developed banking sector, Mr Oviosu sees Paga’s role primarily in terms of facilitating payments for goods and services.
To expand the reach of its mobile platform and Android app, Paga has enlisted a network of shopkeepers and kiosk owners to provide the basic functions of a bank teller. These Paga agents can deposit cash directly into a bank account on a customer’s behalf, for example, or redeem payments sent by a Paga user to a non-user’s phone.
With some 9,000 agents across the country, Paga effectively boasts double the number of branches run by Nigeria’s entire banking sector — and it plans to expand its network dramatically in 2016. The system is already being used to settle monthly pay-TV, internet and electricity bills and is particularly handy for Nigeria’s smaller businesses and self-employed professionals, who often request payment via a bank deposit — partly accounting for long queues seen at counters.
Mr Oviosu has managed to attract a core of foreign investors who are sufficiently bullish on Nigeria’s prospects to risk their money in a young business that aims to become profitable next year. His next challenge is to find backers with pockets deep enough to fund plans to rapidly increase the numbers of users in Nigeria, then expand into Ghana and ultimately other African countries.
Mr Oviosu says: “What we’re trying to do at Paga is to make an efficient payment system accessible to all Nigerians. Whether you’re a business, an individual — banked or unbanked — how do you pay and how do you get paid?”

nairaland mods are very tribalist and bias in their FP topics.
Always negative news from the SE/SS and positive news from SW.Go to linda ikeji blog and you'll be surprised at the amount of raping,kidnapping,armed robbery and rituals happening in the SW daily that never hits FP here.Linda is unbiased and posts negative and positive news from all regions of naija(probably why she's more successful)
Tribalism has eaten deep on this forum.

Really should that surprise us? That an Igbo owned website digs up bad news about Yorubas?
