I stand corrected, but you can never be sure about your claim. I know a lot about cars as well. The fact that I didn't know there was a Range Rover Vogue (me not being an SUV guy) doesn't say anything.

Business / Econet CEO, Strive Masiyiwa Introduces His Latest Venture “Cumii And Technite” by KomradeKorsche: 12:22pm On Nov 16, 2015
On a his facebook page, Econet Group Chairman & Founder, Strive Masiyiwa introduced his latest venture and the way through which the idea was born and bred. He also addressed the issue of identifying opportunities, with an eagle eye BT first asking “How do you see?”


About two years ago, a friend of mine who runs one of the largest telecoms operators in the U.S. introduced me to a new service they had just launched: If you have a smartphone, they can install a small device in your car which sends information on things like the location of your car in real time. It also tells you how you’re driving.

“Can you license us to use this service in Africa?” I asked.

“Sure, we can license you; send a team to negotiate the terms.”

__I could see the potential to launch an exciting new business… I’m a “fast follower.”

So we created a new business. We called it “Cumii” and we recruited a very dynamic CEO to run it. The new venture was given to a senior executive in the group who had a reputation for getting things done quickly and effectively. He in turn hired the team that now drives the business.

I told the new CEO, “I want you to take this business across Africa. Sub-license other mobile network operators and launch in as many countries as possible.

“One of the big challenges was finding technicians who could install the units in each car. It takes up to two hours for a skilled technician to fit the unit which is similar to a car alarm. We wanted to install hundreds, if not thousands, every week.

__ How do we solve this problem?

I already had an idea in mind… “Uber”!

Someone commented, “Uber?! But that is a car service.”

“Let’s train and equip young people to install the units in cars. We then give them each a scooter and a mobile App on a smartphone. When a customer buys a CUMII Service, we find the nearest technician in the same way Uber finds its drivers,” I explained to our leading engineers.

“You mean the technicians will not work for us full time?”

“No they won’t. I want them to be independent entrepreneurs. We will train them, then give them a loan to buy a motorcycle and tools. We then pay them whenever they do a job for us.”

“Why don’t we create a second business, just for the installation services?” someone suggested.

“I like that. Go put together a business plan, and let’s see the numbers.”

Within days we had a business plan. I liked the numbers. I approved.

“What shall we call the new business that manages the installers?”

“Call the business Technite, and the technicians “Technites,” I said.

“Sir, may I ask where you get such names?”

“Surely you should know by now.”

Zimbabwe was chosen as the test site for the new business. Our software developers in Dubai developed the Technite platform. Meanwhile we asked our Higher Life Foundation to shortlist 250 school leavers from its scholarship program for orphans. They were quietly put into training.

Meanwhile the new CEO started to set up “Cumii and the Technites” in other countries. In the next few months we are set to launch in Burundi, Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa, and Tanzania. Next year we plan to do at least 10 new markets. The CEO and his team are based in South Africa and Kenya, with each operating country having its own management team.

Let’s review some principles for you to study carefully:

#Like our friend Logan Green from Lyft, I saw something in America, and spotted an opportunity: Green took a solution for America from Africa; I took a solution for Africa from America.

# I respected the owner of the Intellectual Property (IP).

# I moved quickly to secure the rights for an Africa-wide business.

# I hired a first class management team.

# When we encountered a major problem, we solved it by “re-imagining” something used for a different business. We took the principle in Uber and used it to develop a new business.

# We also made sure that we used the platform to empower other people. We expect to create thousands of jobs for young people across Africa, including young women.

# Finally, I did not run around announcing my plans to other people. I did it first. Don’t talk and talk about something then complain later that someone stole it!

Sandra being the first child, Christopher also has a twin brother Christian and three younger siblings Jane, Christabel and Bella Okagbue. Christopher and Sandra always had a thing that connected them to Orange Drugs Limited. Sandra won the Miss Delta Soap Pageant in 2010 organised by the Orange Drugs Ltd. She alledgedy has escapedes with Ada Mma Crooner Flavor Na’ Abania. A friendship that produced one child.

Politics / Preliminary Thoughts On The New Cabinet Merger Of The Ministries by KomradeKorsche: 11:10am On Nov 16, 2015
1. POWER, WORKS & HOUSING: Much of the social media hubbub has been on how Fashola is now a ‘Super-Minister’, combining three ‘PLUM’ Ministries. That is disturbing enough. But even more disturbing is finding that these three portfolios are being combined at a time when we have much work to do in those areas, such that, at least two of them – Power and Works – ought to be declared areas of national emergency. I don’t envy Governor Fashola, because performance in one of those portfolios should not excuse a failure in the others. Besides, one of the portfolios, Housing, will not count as one of Fashola’s strong points in his 8years of Lagos governorship, the Jakande era of 35years ago till being the reference point in a successful mass housing policy in the city.

2. INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY: I wonder why successive governments continually fail to see the natural fit of these 3 portfolios. When you adjust for the misnomer of reducing the Information portfolio into a glorified propaganda spin-booth (you don’t need more than an information unit in the cabinet for that purpose, really), the Ministry in charge of broadcast and the influential Nigerian film industry ought to fit naturally with the ones overseeing communications and technology generally. Listening to the new Information Minister, Lai Mohammed this evening, he still appears to set much store on his responsibility as the information vanguard for Government. We don’t need a Ministry, or cabinet-level role for this. The new Minister needs to understand the developmental role of that portfolio, that will give the clout to our broadcast and film industries commensurate to their contributions to the economy and strategic importance to our national development. President Buhari certainly lost the opportunity to save the cost of two Minister here!

MINISTERIES TO WATCH
3. DIVERSIFYING THE ECONOMY: The ministries to watch here are (i) Agriculture, (ii) Solid Minerals and (iii) Industry, Trade & Investment. Luckily for the new Ministers, they have the works of a few visionary predecessors to look at. In the case of Chief Ogbe, the Akinwunmi Adesina, and in the case of Kayode Fayemi, the work that Oby Ezekwezili was beginning to do in that Ministry before she left in 2007. Okey Enelamah will need, not just to continue with his predecessor, Segun Aganga’s work in resurrecting our traditional industries starting with the automotive industry (I expect Enelamah to see how the textiles districts of Kano and Ikeja, leather and footwear in Aba, etc, can be resurrected) his experience in the local PE/VC sector should also help him understand the support that emerging industries need- for example, working with his colleagues in Communications, Science and Technology to create supporting ecosystem for the technology start-up sector, and the ever-promising but underachieving creative industry.

4. MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Adamu Adamu has the opportunity to make the most difference in a fundamental way. In the Education portfolio, he has to open two fronts in his battle- (i) the issue of basic access in Northern Nigeria and (ii) overall reform for quality and content everywhere. Performance in the first is the easier and quicker to measure, but seeing how almost perennially intractable it has become, would be tasking nonetheless. A number of targets have been missed in closing the education gap between the regions with substantial Federal funding (the UBE of the 1970s and the soon-to-close MDGs). So merely throwing more money at it will almost certainly be to little avail. The problem, at its root, is cultural. Perhaps, working with the emerging political and cultural leadership of the region (from Emir Lamido Sanusi to Governor El Rufai), a new social attitude to education could be fashioned in that region that guarantees new investments and helps to close that gap at secondary school level within the next decade.

AND SORRY, WHO HAS THE ‘CULTURE’ PORTFOLIO?

Probably, It’s the Ministry of AgriCULTURE
