About Me

“Unemployment and poverty are two of the major issues currently affecting Nigeria’s economy and its society. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the population of the unemployed in Nigeria during the last quarter of 2020 (Q4 2020) stood at 33.3 per cent – an increase of 6.2 per cent points compared with the 27.1 per cent of Quarter 2, 2020 (Q2 2020). This places Nigeria in the number three position among countries with the highest number of unemployed people in the world”

In scenarios of rising unemployment, our proposed business centre will create an enabling environment that creates employment opportunities. In addition to use of ICTs to provide new avenues for job creation that could help tackle global unemployment.

    This is just temporary. Inflation affecting my profits and living for awhile. I need to work more harder to get my pending payment from client so I can clear my loan

    I spent my last raised funds on marketing and SEO, which I am now seeing good results from. However, the amount raised was not sufficient enough to hire more helping hands to join me in making more sales. I am looking forward to raising more funding to solve this problem. Nevertheless, my tech startup is performing well.

    Struggling to balance my budget amidst high inflation rates, I realized that January's sales were not enough to meet my financial goals. It's essential to take action and find ways to optimize my sales strategy to stay ahead of the game.

    The average visit to our website generates $0.23 in revenue. This is a good average, and it means that we are earning a decent amount of money from our traffic. The majority of our revenue comes from our Ad Partners, which is to be expected since they are our primary ad network.

    EPMV (earnings per mille visits) is also good, at $1.42. This means that we are earning $1.42 for every 1,000 visits to our website. This is a good benchmark to aim for, and it means that we are on the right track to generating a significant amount of revenue.

    Our revenue report is looking good. Generating a decent amount of money from our traffic, and our EPMV is also good.

    **PLANS**

    * Continue of raising more funding for marketing to grow our traffic. The more traffic we have, the more money we will earn.

    Please my kind backers and Zidisha team am writing to request a rescheduling of my loan repayment. I am currently experiencing financial difficulties due to the current issues ongoing in Nigeria and fuel scarcity in the country.

    My business really performs poorly due to the scarcity of new naira notes. It affected me personally and my small business. I also have several fail bank transaction with UBA that I am still yet to recover back.

    Dear Backers,

    I am writing to request for additional installment adjustment to NGN 5,130 for the next payment only. This request is due to the high rate of failed transactions that I have experienced with Nigerian banks, which has resulted in significant financial losses for me that I'm still struggling to recover from.

    To help mitigate this issue, I believe that making adjustments to repayment will allow me to meet up with my loan repayment while I work to resolve these issues with my banks to get a reversal of the failed transaction. I see this as a necessary step to help me weather this difficult time, and I hope that you can accommodate my request.

    I value our relationship and appreciate your understanding in this matte.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.
