Entrepreneurs in a developing country


     An entrepreneur is an initiator, an innovator and  challenger . An entrepreneur creates something new, either in terms of service or  business for profit or for social needs. To be a good entrepreneur, you have to be: 
*Passionate about your job, As an entrepreneur, you may have to put in long hours and make sacrifices for your business especially if it is a side hustle. 
* Well  organized; They should be able to  Keep up with client records, manage business funds and run day-2-day office activity as much as  they maintain an orderly environment.
* Be realistic; Not every business succeeds.Entrepreneurs must understand that there is no guarantee to a business success, he/she has to keep learning and keep adjusting.
Having establish who an entrepreneur is and should do, let's consider why we need entrepreneurs in our nation:
*For a developing country like ours, Entrepreneurship is needed  to break the vicious circle  of poverty by mobilizing the idle funds (A mix of their fund and loans) which leads to capital formation and creation of wealth very essential for development of an economy.
*Entrepreneurs  are needed to meet the demands of  Social Change; New  innovations create room for advance tools which in turn reduces dependence on obsolete systems and technologies, this result in a greater economic freedom.
  * New and improved products, services or technology from entrepreneurs create room for  new markets and more wealth to be created, this will additionally increase employment and higher earnings.
  In summary,  Entrepreneurs are not only important to themselves or to the nation, they are also important to their immediate environment; they sponsor and can sponsor community projects when established.
 However, government can help  by redirecting surplus wealth to retrain workers who are redundant as a result of entrepreneurship, Moreso, government can nurture Entrepreneurship by regulating inflated prices,unfair market practices, pervasive corruption and criminal activity caused by entrepreneurs.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!.

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts.

Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents.
