Hi Opeyemi, I'd recommend Wild Fusions; I think they are the best digital agency in Nigeria and have a good balance of expertise and creativity. Anakle is a close second, definitely with a more creative and daring element, but both great places to gain experience and work with some really bright minds. Sure thing! I'm @ToyinJolapamo on Twitter and Instagram. LinkedIn is my name.

Hi Ebechukwu, It was my pleasure. There's a lot that goes to creating brand ambassadors; the obvious place to start being with a good product, seamless experience and impeccable customer service. On the marketing side, here are a few things you can do:- Encouraging user generated content and tapping into your customers creativity, remember to reward them!- Nurture your relationships with your customers and offer value at every point you come in contact with them, you can think of the kind of information you share on SM, or in your e-mail marketing campaigns, etc. P.S. people also like personalised messages- Ask for feedback and take the feedback - make them feel heard and like they are an active and useful part of your brand. - Create an online community

Great reaction!!! Trust me when I say we live in a man's world where for some reason even at the top echelon, woman are scrutinized. I've personally decided to be at my best and in most cases ignore the unnecessary pressures that come with being a woman. Developing a thick skin too helps in the sense that you don't take everything personally and remain authentic. Lastly, endeavour not to be a people pleasure because women are expected to always be fine with the rubbish that is thrown at them. I maintain my standards and work at being better and I break the rules for a living. I don't know if this answers your question?

To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

Hello Toluwanimi. I completely agree with you. ADHD is underdiagnosed in Nigeria. The diagnosis has very specific criteria which include hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity of a certain duration. A lot of healthcare workers are unaware of the criteria. Parents may also seek help late or not at all. When the diagnosis is made, there is little consensus on what management methods work best. This lack ofuniformity of therapy makes management challenging. Coping for families involves support groups, a Multispecialist approach to care including the paediatrician , paediatric nurse, paediatric psychologist, child psychiatrist and the occupational therapist. Children with ADHD may have other issues like oppositional behavior which need to be addressed. Building capacity to diagnose and treat ADHD as well as creating public awareness will go a long way to help children with this condition

Hello Mercy, Yes, there are tools that give you a good insight into the best posting times on social. You can look at Hootsuite and Sprout. Those are two I have used personally, but I'm sure there are a lot more you can find and try out.

For startup, the vision and mission of the founders should be very clear that every employee can identify with them and broken down into measurable behaviours expected from employees with the founders leading by example.I don’t have a blog at the moment. Maybe in the near future 😊

The most amazing things about Skill Haven are; We have created tangible impact in the mushrooming crypto space in Uganda. Some people who have been part of our education programmes and events have picked up crypto/blockchain focused careers like crypto content creators, journalists, writers, Web3 developers, influencers etc The other most interesting thing about Skill Haven is that we are the only crypto & Blockchain Education focused start up in Uganda.Skill Haven has various programmes and we've reached out to over 500 participants in our education programs through open public events/meetups and personal encounters. I can't point out the most amazing thing but people are making great strides in the crypto & blockchain space and that is our ultimate pride.

Interesting questions Cyrus...On the first question, I think it’s largely about perception and it varies from one Organization to the other. An example is HR is responsible for hiring and firing, but the truth is we only support the process to ensure fairness and consistency, the decision maker is mostly the Line Manager or the Functional Head.On the second question, for permanent recruitment, I will rather go for culture fit and train the individual, but if it’s a short term fix, then I will go for the highly skilled.On the last question, my advice is to always go above the legal requirements as much as you can...but it’s good that we have a compensation act in place, which at least serves as a minimum requirement especially in extreme cases like accident and death. However, it needs to be reviewed at intervals to align with current realities.The legislation I struggle with is ITF and I think it should be restructured

Hi Peter, I think your positioning statement needs to take into account making your product seem meaningful and appealing to your niche audience. You want to focus on how the product/service appeals to them, and what makes your service/product stand out. Also think about your brands identity, values and your vision.
