Most small and medium-sized businesses in Nigeria collect sales records,customer information,and operational data daily. My proposed approach is to develop a lightweight,accessible business analytics template toolkit for SMEs #KodeCampBuilds#kodecamp#kodehauz
Growing up in Nigeria
You see a class of 50 pupils
Only 10 are bright and are doing well
The remaining 40 are struggling
Many of us did not know that amongst those 40 were special kids who were not olodos but couldn't learn with the structure provided
- Some needed visual learning
- Some needed reinforcement learning
- Some needed mind mapping and other techniques
But they could not get it.
So, the system called all of them Olodo.
They grew up with the low self esteem and gave up on themselves
Nigeria is not working, the UK is too boring and individualistic, the USA is too volatile, Canada is too far and too cold.
Where person wan even go sef like this
Most people don’t fail because they’re not smart enough.
They fail because they quit too early.
Success is usually just someone who stayed in the game longer than everyone else.
Stay. In. The. Game.
Imagine if Sir Elon was into football, Mark Zuckerberg was into forex trading,Thomas Edison decided to do affiliate marketing.
Then you won't hear of Tesla, Facebook and the world will be dark.
Lesson:
Stay on your lane. Avoid distractions
I feel burdened for thousands of students yearly entry into the university. Taking my engineering discipline as a case study. Trained to find the value of "x" for 5-6 years , with no practical application.
Students come out only to discover they are seriously left behind
