Anyways


Lagos controls about 40% percent of Nigeria's GDP and is positioning itself to become Africa's Financial Centre.
To tap into the opportunities the future will present, the following should be done.

1. Create Technology Parks:
Technology Parks should be created at Ota, Ogbomoso, Remo, Ijebu, Ibadan, Akure, Ado-Ekiti, Ile-Ife where research from the tertiary institutions located in these cities will be commercialized.

2. Establish Industrial Parks:
Industrial Parks should be established in communities where agricultural and solid mineral resources abound. They will engage in processing the resources

3. Build Technology Incubation Centres:
Technology Incubation Centres should be established where youths with specific skills will mentored on how to build a business around it in line with modern technologies.

4. Ease the Cost of Doing Business:
The Cost of Doing Business should be eased. Startups should be granted tax holidays for the first few years until they start earning profit. Businesses
should be set up within 24 hours and multiple taxes should be abolished.

5. Infrastructural Development:
Renewable energy technologies and ecofriendly innovative building and maintenance strategies should be implemented.

Aare,
May Oduduwa prosper your hands and bless your household for this important thread and contributions. I followed the 25pages since opening, this is my first input.

These ideas are good and I believe they need to be integrated into DAWN as a commonwealth endowment, as opposed to corporate sponsorship.

Under DAWN the benefits are tailored to indigenes of the land and domains within the defined Yoruba Commonwealth. This will do two things:

1. Rebrand Yorubaland
Ensure that the commonwealth is creating, driving and sustaining development at its own pace and not dependent on dictates from non-aligned political interests and influence.

2. Hearts to God, Hands in the ground!
Create homegrown benchmarks and standards that are in harmony with our ethos and philosophical beliefs.

Introducing Pharrell-Groomed Nigerian-American Duo Christian Rich



Christian Rich, the production duo consisting of Chicago-born Nigerian twins Taiwo and Kehinde Hassan, is most likely an unfamiliar act to many music fans out there despite their impressive track record, which boasts production credits for some of today’s biggest hip-hop acts. Protégés of visionary producer and global tastemaker Pharrell, Taiwo and Kehinde have spent most of their career behind the scenes, contributing their sound to hip-hop heavy hitters like Raekwon, Lil’ Kim and Clipse since early 2003. Most recently, Christian Rich contributed production to Drake‘s chart-topping album Nothing Was the Same, Childish Gambino‘s definitive sophomore LP Because the Internet and Earl Sweatshirt‘s critically acclaimed official debut Doris.

Toyin Jolapamo of The SohoSister

She’s a style blogger, personal shopper, producer & presenter for Ndani TV, and one of the stylish people on our envy list. Toyin Jolapamo is definitely one to watch in 2015.

Also known as “The Soho Sister,” Toyin brings a fresh vibe to fashion that we are more than ready to welcome. She’s quirky, sexy, eclectic and always seems effortlessly chic. She is one to play dangerously outside the fashion rule book but also reminds you that playing outside can be fun, expressive and one of the best ways to bring something new to the table.

Oluwatobi Akintoye (T16 World of Fashion)

Oluwatobi is the creative director and founder of T16 world of Fashion. A final year student of the University of Lagos, Akoka where she is studying Guidance and Counseling. She began her career as a tailor, but because of her humble beginning, passion for fashion and drive to be successful, this helped facilitate her rise through the ranks, first as a tailor and now as a designer. In her sojourn into the beautiful world of fashion she had the opportunity to be mentored by the likes of Mai Atafo and Lanre Da Silva.

Her brand is an effortless, timeless and wearable Line that reflects the kind of woman she is herself, which is strong, bold, fun, unique and fearless. She was part of the top 15 Fashion Focus finalists of GTB Lagos fashion and design week 2014 and was amongst the Top 4 finalist of the DSTV Fashion Protege Contest. She has showcased at Africa fashion week Nigeria, Lagos Fashion And Design week, and MTN Business Overlook Forum. She has also enjoyed massive publicity on various media platforms in Nigeria.

Lagos Fashion And Design Week 2014 was her break through for this young and promising designer. She debuted her collection SS15 early this year and the year is already looking very promising for Oluwatobi.

I think the real question is "What are we not dominating?".

Yorubas are silent giants. Until you compile the list, you won't know what almost all the big Nigerian designers are Yoruba women.

Amos Tutuola who wrote the Palm-wine Drinkard was the first Nigerian author to gain international fame. Disney owns the movie rights to this popular literary work. The book was published in 1952 and is the first African novel published in English outside of Africa.
