Nigerian music producer and artist manager, Simon Okeke has recorded yet another big win, and his fans are proud of it.The entertainer emerged as the only Afrobeats producer to represent Africa at the 2020 BET Hip Hop award which took place recently.

While giving his view on Afrobeats and its representation at the BET awards, the producer who was adorned in a traditional modern attire described Afrobeats as Nigeria’s most prized music export to the world and expressed his pride in the Nigerian music industry.He said, “Afrobeats music touches the soul and anyone no matter the language, colour or culture can feel the beats, Rhythms and want to dance to it.


“It started with Fela, Evolved in 2 face, Remedies, Dbanj, Don Jazzy and now Wiz Kid, Davido and Burna Boy are putting Afrobeats on the map with their songs trending topping world charts and packing our arenas. It feels like Hip Hop and RnB in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s and it continues to fuse with hip and RnB.

“For example, we have artists like Tems. Tems earned three nominations for her feature in Future’s ‘Wait For U’ while Burna Boy got a nomination in the Video Director of the Year category for his self-directed music video, Last Last. This shows that Afrobeats is here to stay and there will be more award-winning collaborations with Hip Hop artists and Afrobeats artists. I see a bright future for Afrobeats and Hip Hop fusion to make timeless chart-topping hits for the world to dance to. Black Sheriff and Blxckie of South Africa also got nominated in the Best International Flow category.”


Simon Okeke, a stellar producer, and talent manager also doubles as a Technology Entrepreneur. He is the owner of the on-demand shipping and trucking app LoadzPro, an app Backed by Uber Freight.

Music/Radio / VIDEO: TRUTHR - Pajamas by Lexzai: 4:50am On Jan 16, 2021
“Pajamas” – this single deals a ton with the processing of information and how that translates directly into our daily lives…the struggle to maintain our grip on our control, routines, and happiness – TRUTHR details his own personal battles along the way, creating a relatable moment in time on this single that gives you a ton of insight into what’s truly important to the man behind the m-i-c. You’ll hear the self-doubts & questioning that so many of you out there go through as artists, you’ll hear thoughtful comments & worries of being a father & the world we’re leaving behind for the future to come, you’ll hear stylistic lines that seem to simply sound great at first – but after a spin or two, you’ll realize how all these thoughts & feelings stack up powerfully together. TRUTHR’s essentially battling depression out loud in the open here, all in real-time, beating back the pain of observation & consciousness through the power of music & the catharsis it brings through the process. It’s the very answer to the question he poses at the very beginning of this single if you’re listening, which brings it all full-circle by the end. Why does he keep on the path of an artist? Because it’s important for the SOUL. You gotta get thoughts like these out into the world however you can if only to simply avoid your own self-implosion…the fact that TRUTHR is able to do that & express himself through music is a true gift in more ways than you or I could possibly understand.

Business / Jake Adebayo’s Services Platform Skillpatron Expands To Kenya by Lexzai: 6:46pm On Dec 30, 2020
SkillPatron, the leading digital b2b online marketplace platform in Nigeria that connects large corporate procurement departments with specialized services & outsourcing projects, has expanded to East Africa with its services booking platform in Kenya.

We live, breathe and bleed “outsourcing specialized tasks & projects”, says Mshima Agah - Client services manager at SkillPatron.

Although Jake Adebayo’ SkillPatron operates in a relatively old industry as business-to-business platforms have been around for over two decades, becoming an almost invisible engine of commerce at many small and medium-sized businesses. Inspite of b2b being around for two decades there’s one arena that online marketplaces have yet to penetrate to nearly the same degree and that's the large corporate procurement departments. This holds true even as of this writing as concerns about scale, quality, and reliability have made leaders hesitant to change their longstanding reliance on dealing directly with suppliers. At its conception SkillPatron found this is especially true for the more complicated purchases that fall under the label “indirect spend”: everything from IT and telecoms to transportation, professional services, and marketing.

With the foray of SkillPatron into the b2b online marketplace that’s starting to change. The project managers hired by SkillPatron are a new generation of procurement leaders, who have grown up buying online for increasingly complex personal needs and are beginning to wonder whether buying online also makes sense for business. SkillPatron’s powerful digital and analytic tools are also contributing to the new mind-set, opening new avenues for procurement departments to generate value in areas outside their traditional focus on transaction management.

Majority of SkillPatron’s customers indicate that their indirect spending has become a tougher challenge for chief procurement officers (CPOs). As SkillPatron has found not only is this type of spending growing but it is also encompassing a widening array of categories in services as well as goods—as SkillPatron companies become more reliant on third-party providers. Without the use of b2b services like SkillPatron, controlling spending, compliance, and risk has become a bigger headache.

SkillPatron as well as other B2B online marketplaces create self-service, digitally-sourced environments where multiple vendors can offer products or services to business customers. SkillPatron’s claim to make it easier to identify the right supplier, improving the customer experience by making transactions simpler and more transparent.

SkillPatron Buyers gain choice, value, and greater efficiencies, while SkillPatron sellers, under pressure themselves to grow revenues, gain access to a broader pool of buyers—without the burden of marketing or (depending on the specific marketplace) the need for dedicated sales, fulfillment, transactional, or logistics functions. With SkillPatron implemented well, marketplace procurement can also facilitate reporting and data analysis.

SkillPatron as a scope-of-work marketplace offer services such as marketing, telecoms, utilities, rent and real estate, insurance, and professional services (such as legal and consulting).

SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces offer several general benefits to business. Notable features on SkillPatron include greater transparency in product, service, and supplier availability—as well as in pricing and purchasing terms. For SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces Hours and time zones are irrelevant, making marketplaces truly global. And SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces perhaps most significantly as they provide CPOs with the means to offload the tactical, often repetitive work that dominates procurement (especially in indirect categories), improving their management so they can focus on more strategic activities.

On the other hand SkillPatron sellers also benefit from marketplaces, gaining access to new customers, visibility into the market’s pricing structures, and features and services they might not have otherwise been able to afford, such as lower shipping costs and better marketing analytics. Ultimately, SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces promise broader economic impact, expanding opportunities for smaller vendors.

SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces understand that buying online can be a risky proposition: each transaction is impersonal, and buyers cannot always be certain they will get everything they ordered, or that the quality (especially for a first-time purchase) will meet their needs and expectations. In an automated environment like SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces procurement managers are sure they will get the same level of service they would get with a direct vendor relationship—in logistics, billing, credit policies, and refund and exchange policies?

For SkillPatron as well as other Online B2B marketplaces to attract buyers they actually need to attract quality vendors. To do so, they need to promise a bigger customer base than vendors could otherwise secure on their own. Marketplaces like SkillPatron must also provide a user experience that is above and beyond what buyers get from dealing with individual vendors. By “user experience,” we mean not simply the scale of offerings or the range of amenities and features, but the total experience: how interactive it is; how much buyers enjoy shopping; how indispensable the marketplace becomes to them; and how valuable it is in helping them perform their work and accomplish their goals.

Much like online B2C marketplaces counterparts, SkillPatron offers access to a broad pool of potential vendors operating under a wide range of business models, including not only the obscure and potentially risky operators of the past, but also high-quality, prescreened vendors. And their value to buyers extends much further, to customization, dynamic pricing, and indirect-spend management and control—important factors even for sophisticated procurement functions. Perhaps most important, they can free procurement teams from time-consuming, often repetitive, transactional work that fails to take full advantage of their more advanced capabilities. When part of a broader procurement system that includes such elements as shared services or digitized sourcing, marketplaces free up procurement teams to place more focus on value-adding activities, such as strategic purchase categories, innovation, and sustainability.

As a relatively new phenomenon, how marketplaces like SkillPatron will evolve—and their impact and implications—remains to be seen. What purchasing executives need to understand now is their potential effect on the procurement function and the role of the CPO—and, more broadly, on the supply chain and spot markets. In this early stage, leaders may have fewer answers to guide them, but knowing which questions to ask can help better prepare them to capture maximum strategic advantage.

Albert Keronye, Country Manager for SkillPatron in Kenya says: “After the success of launching SkillPatron in Lagos, Nigeria in 2018, we’re delighted to be offering services to even more customers across the African continent. We take pride in helping local communities by ensuring service providers share their skills with corporate procurement departments who need their offerings.”

SkillPatron was incorporated by Jake Adebayo in April 2018 and since then, has continued with its mission to make everyday life easier for everyday people and corporate procurement departments . With service offering pricing starting from just $3, SkillPatron provides affordable options for people and corporate procurement departments seeking help with projects of all sizes. Services can be booked with both in-store and online purchases at: https://skillpatron.com/services/.

With a growing portfolio of over 3 million users, the startup, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, has transformed corporate procurement service bookings by using proprietary digital cloud-based solutions to create a singular platform enabling comprehensive access to every specialty providers.

The zeal to create a transforming experience for online corporate procurement access across its existing footprint and new markets has always concerned SkillPatron.

SkillPatron already arms more than 500 of the world’s most forward-thinking brands and agencies with the creative insights they need to make transformative business decisions.

Since SkillPatron first launched, we’ve been honoured and impressed by the level of positive response from people using SkillPatron’s project management network to get help with their everyday business and personal procurement tasks - says Yukiko Ugboaja.

Music/Radio / VIDEO: J. Maurice - You Got It by Lexzai: 3:41am On Nov 07, 2020
With an addictively rhythmic flow and dangerously melodic chorus at the forefront, Topeka, Kansas-based Hip Hop pioneer J. Maurice raises the bar to some serious new heights with his newest smash single “You Got It.”
“The sexiest thing about a girl is her hustle” boasts J. Maurice in the visual YouTube intro of this track, and “You Got It” falls right in line with that concept masterfully. Combining a neurotic flow that is reminiscent with industry heavyweights from the 90s, J puts down the flow like a tidal wave on this track with crafty versatile lyrics that are cleverly executed among its calibre. The chorus is massive, melodic and has that vocal structure that will easily leave you with goosebumps. The dexterous rhythm is formulaic and embraces the minor key beat structure that brings an erotic aura to the song’s duration. It’s a perfect track for mainstream radio but could still easily shine among the indie underground spectrum.
The production value is right on point and really showcases J. Maurice strongly and diligently. Delving into a signature sound that is charismatic and multifaceted, his delivery on this single touches effectively on equal parts originality and familiarity; giving the audience a visceral listening experience that is fresh yet still identifiable. If you’re a fan of artist pros like Usher, Ne-Yo and Biggie, then this track will definitely be a draft pick for you. The track is accompanied by a colorful music video which also really encapsulates the essence of J. Maurice‘s vibes and atmosphere.
This single is one of many successful releases for the rising established artist, but it truly raises the bar for his career altogether with the insatiable lyricism and execution of quality this song offers. High expectations are set for him now that he will be pressured to deliver content on this level subsequent to this single, but we have no doubt J. Maurice will hold it down without issue! If this song isn’t an indication, you can’t deny the musicianship factors and raw talent that J encompasses when he hits the mic – and we have no doubt you’ll feel the same way when you take a listen to “You Got It” yourself. You can find the Single on YouTube, SoundCloud, and several other digital music streaming platforms. You’ll be putting this one on repeat!

Business / The Billionaire Who Wanted To Die Broke Is Now Officially Broke by Lexzai: 1:17pm On Sep 17, 2020
It took decades, but Chuck Feeney, the former billionaire cofounder of retail giant Duty Free Shoppers has finally given all his money away to charity. He has nothing left now—and he couldn’t be happier.

C

harles “Chuck” Feeney, 89, who cofounded airport retailer Duty Free Shoppers with Robert Miller in 1960, amassed billions while living a life of monklike frugality. As a philanthropist, he pioneered the idea of Giving While Living—spending most of your fortune on big, hands-on charity bets instead of funding a foundation upon death. Since you can't take it with you—why not give it all away, have control of where it goes and see the results with your own eyes?

“We learned a lot. We would do some things differently, but I am very satisfied. I feel very good about completing this on my watch,” Feeney tells Forbes. “My thanks to all who joined us on this journey. And to those wondering about Giving While Living: Try it, you'll like it.”

Over the last four decades, Feeney has donated more than $8 billion to charities, universities and foundations worldwide through his foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies. When I first met him in 2012, he estimated he had set aside about $2 million for his and his wife's retirement. In other words, he's given away 375,000% more money than his current net worth. And he gave it away anonymously. While many wealthy philanthropists enlist an army of publicists to trumpet their donations, Feeney went to great lengths to keep his gifts secret. Because of his clandestine, globe-trotting philanthropy campaign, Forbes called him the  James Bond of Philanthropy.

Feeney and Buffett

But Feeney has come in from the cold. The man who amassed a fortune selling luxury goods to tourists, and later launched private equity powerhouse General Atlantic, lives in an apartment in San Francisco that has the austerity of a freshman dorm room. When I visited a few years ago, inkjet-printed photos of friends and family hung from the walls over a plain, wooden table. On the table sat a small Lucite plaque that read: “Congratulations to Chuck Feeney for $8 billion of philanthropic giving.”


That's Feeney—understated profile, oversize impact. No longer a secret, his extreme charity and big-bet grants have won over the most influential entrepreneurs and philanthropists. His stark generosity and gutsy investments influenced Bill Gates and Warren Buffett when they launched the Giving Pledge in 2010—an aggressive campaign to convince the world’s wealthiest to give away at least half their fortunes before their deaths. “Chuck was a cornerstone in terms of inspiration for the Giving Pledge,” says Warren Buffett. “He’s a model for us all. It’s going to take me 12 years after my death to get done what he’s doing within his lifetime.” 

Feeney gave big money to big problems—whether bringing peace to Northern Ireland, modernizing Vietnam’s health care system, or spending $350 million to turn New York’s long-neglected Roosevelt Island into a technology hub. He didn’t wait to grant gifts after death or set up a legacy fund that annually tosses pennies at a $10 problem. He hunted for causes where he can have a dramatic impact and went all-in.

In 2019, I worked with the Atlantic Philanthropies on a report titled Zero Is the Hero, which summarized Feeney’s decades of go-for-broke giving. While it contains hundreds of numbers, stats and data points, Feeney summarized his mission in a few sentences. “I see little reason to delay giving when so much good can be achieved through supporting worthwhile causes. Besides, it’s a lot more fun to give while you live than give while you're dead.”

On September 14, 2020, Feeney completed his four-decade mission and signed the documents to shutter the Atlantic Philanthropies. The ceremony, which happened over Zoom with the Atlantic Philanthropies’ board, included video messages from Bill Gates and former California Gov. Jerry Brown. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sent an official letter from the U.S. Congress thanking Feeney for his work.

At its height, the Atlantic Philanthropies had 300-plus employees and ten global offices across seven time zones. The specific closure date was set years ago as part of his long-term plan to make high-risk, high-impact donations by setting a hard deadline to give away all his money and close shop. The 2020 expiration date added urgency and discipline. It gave the Atlantic Philanthropies the time to document its history, reflect on wins and losses and create a strategy for other institutions to follow. As Feeney told me in 2019: “Our giving is based on the opportunities, not a plan to stay in business for a long time.” 


While his philanthropy is out of business, its influence reverberates worldwide thanks to its big bets on health, science, education and social action. Where did $8 billion go? Feeney gave $3.7 billion to education, including nearly $1 billion to his alma mater, Cornell, which he attended on the G.I. Bill. More than $870 million went to human rights and social change, like $62 million in grants to abolish the death penalty in the U.S. and $76 million for grassroots campaigns supporting the passage of Obamacare. He gave more than $700 million in gifts to health ranging from a $270 million grant to improve public healthcare in Vietnam to a $176 million gift to the Global Brain Health Institute at the University of California, San Francisco.

One of Feeney’s final gifts, $350 million for Cornell to build a technology campus on New York City’s Roosevelt Island, is a classic example of his giving philosophy. While notoriously frugal in his own life, Feeney was ready to spend big and go for broke when the value and potential impact outweighed the risk.
