The name of the show is “The Entrepreneur with IBM Bangis”, the show is design to analyse different business and harness the experience of different business owners by interviewing key players in the business world and sharing their thought and experiences with our viewers.Over the course of my experience as the host of this show, I have been able to analyse over 150 different business ventures, putting a spotlight on their pros, cons, challenges and how they overcame those challenges.

In 2 years of operation, my team and I have had to overcome most of the problems that comes along with building and sustaining a business in Nigeria, from the issues of finances, to issues to competition and issues of unfavourable atmosphere due to some government policies and bureaucracy. As a founder, I attended the IFAIR programs (an incubation program by the Vice President’s office and the Embassy of Israel) which is an extensive incubation program for business leaders to build and showcase their ideas and prototype to the world, at IFAIR I was exposed to extensive leadership and team building training and workshops over the period of 21 days.Our team also took part in the Total Energies start upper challenge, we made it to the top 15 finalists out of over 5000 start ups that applied in the country. I was privileged to undergo all-embracing business building and leadership training in Lagos for a period of 10 days. As the Lead Founder of commodity Nigeria, I learned how to build a business, source for funding for a business, manage the business finances, manage the team, motivate the correspondence and ensure efficiency in our data that is been captured, processed and served to the world for their perusal.
