qanda: A big challenge with the younger generation is laziness to read. Why ask a question when you did not read? The answer you seek is in the content you did not read. (pls bother to read, it will help you)
To answer your question, 'please why are you still selling past questions and answers for a living?'
Answer: I do not sell Past Questions. However, providing reliable study materials to those who need them is a legit business. Reference GMATS, Kaplan and the other leading businesses in the industry.
I co-own an App where individuals who have reliable study materials can distribute them in pdf, video and audio formats for free or at a fee. It is called a shared economy business model. Think about Uber, Airbnb, Bolt, Gokada and others....
It is a problem solving and entrepreneurial effort.
Problem Statement The unemployment rate amongst the youth population is on the rise. One of the factors attributed to this development is lack of employability skills amongst a large number of the youth population. The National Bureau of Statistics projects that the unemployment rate will reach 33.5 per cent by 2020. We have identified developing an entrepreneurial mindset and skills as one of the ways to cut down on the unemployment rate in Nigeria.
Sourcing quality educational materials, entrepreneurial and vocational training resources in the form of text, audio and videos is difficult to access within the Nigerian web space. An attempt to source study materials online in the form of notes, past questions and answers, video tutorials for Professional Exams, Undergraduate, and Post Graduate exams often leaves one stressed and disappointed. Where the materials are claimed to be available, the payment method is laborious and inefficient.

Expected Impact of Q and A App • To advance the realization of the SDG4 goal of achieving quality education and substantially increasing the number of youths and adults who have relevant skills for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship. • To serve as a channel for supporting the implementation of the National Youth Policy in the areas of skills acquisition and capacity development. • To make sourcing of valuable and reliable information easy and stress free. • To empower and encourage resource persons to share their knowledge with knowledge seekers. • To bridge the mentorship gap that exists within the Nigerian society. • To create an avenue for skilled and creative individuals to transfer knowledge and earn revenue.
