Good morning entrepreneurs. Happy Friday
I have a simple question to ask you all. What are you doing in your community/neighbourhood to create a positive impact?
Lemme go first:
I'm an active member of the youth development association, handling its finances and fundraising. I also contribute to developmental project in the community. This is what I do aside my professional job.

Please share your experience and if you haven't started doing something in your community, please start now.

I wish you a profitable day.

Hello house. I was able to connect with some aspiring and budding entrepreneurs at a seminar organized by Mandela Washington fellows of 2014. Tagged: #YaliRollOut
It was a resourceful engagement and I seized the opportunity to invite entrepreneurs to out group. 2 of them are already connecting with me on my social media account and I have added one to our BBM group.

Let's work together to build next generation of African business leaders.

Anyway, I've got load of gist for you. Trust me, I seized the holiday period to connect with a big wig in Abuja who came to town.

Good morning entrepreneurs. Has anyone started business today? Let's get to work.

@AdeCisco
Welcome again. BBM group invite sent. But it could have been better if you join our offline group, which will make you a bonafide member; that is if you have the intention of start a business in the city or you already started one.

Once again, welcome back.

Wow! I'm freaking excited that my people are responding even on Eid day.
Anyway, holiday is here. I will respond it you guys probably tomorrow. I dey tear meat at the moment.

Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim brothers and sisters in this group
Abeg do am softly ooo. After Eid holiday, business starts.

After the eid holiday, I will be scouting for entrepreneurs who have good ideas and have well prepared business model or written business plan. I will volunteer to support such business financially to register their business names.
Yes definitely you must meet some criteria

1. A native of the land or the proposed business will be located in the land.
2. The financial support is available only for registration of business name.
3. Beneficiary must be an active offline member of our meetup group.
4. You should show commitment into starting up the venture.

The reason behind this initiative is to prepare entrepreneurs for opportunities that are unforeseeable. To prepare them for different business plan competitions and elevator pitch which may provide them funding to launch or grow their startups.

** This opportunity is available to limited number of entrepreneurs** Depending on my capability and support from investors and promoters who have passion for entrepreneurship, I will come up with a quota soon.

add me on bbm 25d43f96 or send me an email to adedoyinblessing@yahoo.com[/quote]Thank you. I will contact you soon.

Good morning Entrepreneurs. I want to wish everyone of us a profitable day.
I also want to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters Happy Eid-El Kabir in advance. Abeg take am easy during the festive period ooo. Don't drink and drink and vice- versa.
Above all, don't spend above your means during the period ooo. Remember finance is the blood that flows to the heart of your business. If the blood fails, the heart stops.
Enjoy!

ogalandlord: Wat type of bags do you need,I can supply them contact me at kinslycarbon@gmail.com

Recyclable bags or other recyclable items: paperbags, recyclable plastics etc

I need recyclable bags and other items for a social action organization that campaigns against climate change and promotes green revolution.
We need to generate fund to support our cause. We thought of branding and selling these items to raise awareness and generate fund.

In a nutshell, we need contact of dealers/wholesalers of recyclable bags and other Eco-friendly item.

Thanks.

Hey entrepreneurs! Who's in?

I'm happy to see my people here are waxing stronger. Keep it up guys. We also had our second offline meeting last week Sunday. The rainfall couldn't even stop us from meeting.
Nice one guys.

biggboy: Happy new month house! Bros abeg, can I get an invite to the whatsapp room? I missed the BBM group

PM me your contact.

It's national holiday. I dey house dey flex ooo.

IT'S NIGERIA'S 54TH NATIONAL DAY!
I come with a message:

Today in 1960, history was made as a nation called Nigeria was said to have been 'liberated' from British imperialism.

Here we are today, amidst tension, struggle, insecurity, political assassination, youth and political thuggery, bad governance, corruption, oppression, religious crisis, deceit among leaders and followers.

We were liberated physically, but I feel we are yet to gain freedom mentally and emotionally. Today should mark a sober reflection on our past, critical analysis of our present situation, and logical conclusion on how to shape the future for our generations to come.

I implore our youths to take on the challenge. Let's come together to find solutions to our problems. The problem is ours, the solution lives in us and the future belong to us!

Irrespective of these challenges facing our great nation, we still have to come together as a nation to avoid the labour of our past heroes being in vain.

God bless #Nigeria
God bless Africa.
Happy 54th national day to my country,Nigeria.

Good morning entrepreneurs,
as promised, I am bringing you the account of our recent meet in Abeokuta:

Meeting schedule: 5:00 PM

At 3:45PM rain started in most areas in the city ( I rained till about 8:15 PM)
The most interesting part of the story is that the fighting spirit of our members is too strong to be stopped. We all went under the rain to make the meet.

Gazzy88 got to the venue before 4:00 PM and he was compensated by giving him special recap on what was discussed in our first meet plus highlight on the benefits of our group.

All members who attended sat before 5:20PM ( I understand, the rain caused it )

Attendance sheet was filled and we moved on agenda on the meet.

We started with introduction. After the introduction, I was convinced that we have great entrepreneurs who are experts in their respective industries.
Wow! I was really impressed with the calibre of entrepreneurs who showed up. Brilliant and passionate young leaders.

My people, its Monday, lemme attend to my personal businesses that pay my bills first.

I will continue with the account of the meet later...

I wish you a profitable enterprise week.
Ciao!
