The governor of Zimbabwe’s central bank said it will begin issuing its own version of the US dollar bill. The cash-strapped country will start using the bond notes in October, and expects $75 million to be in circulation by the end of the year. Zimbabwe is a multicurrency country since it stopped printing its own money, the Zimbabwe dollar, in 2009 due to hyperinflation. It uses the South African rand, the euro, and the Chinese yuan, alongside the US dollar. The central bank governor, John Mangudya, said the cash, known as bond notes, will be backed by $200 million from the Africa Export-Import Bank. The specially-designed two, five 10 and 20 dollar notes will have the same values as their US dollars equivalents. Bank customers are not always able to withdraw the amount of US dollars they would like on of a shortage of dollar notes. The country already has “bond” coins that represent US dollar values. For each coin in circulation there is an equivalent US dollar held in the country’s reserves. “The bond notes will be at par with the US dollar and will be used and treated in the same manner as bond coins,” John Mangudya, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe told CNN money...

Before we start, we would like to say a few words about black spots and what causes them. Well, dark spots or hyper-pigmentation is a skin problem that can affect men and women of all ages, and can be very embarrassing and make people self-conscious. They are usually caused by excessive production of melanin in the human body. People who have darker skin are more prone to have this skin problem. Acne are also very bad and annoying, but you can get rid of them fast with the right remedy or medication. But, this is not the thing with dark spots. Dark spots won’t clear up as quickly, and sometimes it can take a combination of preventative measures, corrective products and procedures to keep our skin looking the way we want it to look. These are the most common reasons for their appearance: exposure to sunlight, history of skin inflammation, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, Addison’s disease, lack of sleep, too much stress, etc. Here comes the million-dollar question – what should you do? You shouldn’t be worried, because we have the right answer for you. In this article we are going to show you how to make the best homemade remedies to help you get rid of black spots on your face in just 15 minutes. These remedies are very simple and easy to make. You just have to follow the simple instruction. Home Remedy 1 Here’s what you need to do – first, you need to take four teaspoons of buttermilk.

Kaduna State Government under the leadership of Malam Nasir el-Rufai in its effort to improve the living condition and well- being of the people of Kaduna State has gone into partnership with a waste management expert company, ZL Global Alliance (Nigeria) in the collection of waste in a project called “waste to cash” programme. At the official launch of the “waste to cash” project at the weekend in Kaduna, the managing director of ZL Global Alliance Nigeria, Mrs Abiola Bashorun, said it was in recognition of the governor’s commitment to keeping the state clean, green and healthy. According to the MD/CEO of ZL Global Alliance, the ‘waste to cash’ initiative is meant to encourage the people to turn in their waste in exchange for cash, emphasising, “Under the scheme, we shall be paying N1.00 per kilogramme of waste. We, however, expect a minimum of 10 to 25kg per lot. “The state government under the initiative wants to take its commitment to get job and wealth creation a notch higher. The state government has found that it has a large population of youths and women who are either unemployed or under-employed,” she explained. The waste management expert further explained that the programme which is scheduled to kick- off on September 14, 2016, will begin with the two major cities of Kaduna and Zaria, then Kafanchan and other towns will in no distant time. She disclosed that ZL Global Alliance and the international partners were investing over $1billion into the ‘waste to wealth’ initiative across states in Nigeria. http://www.leadership.ng/news/550215/job-creation-kaduna-launches-waste-to-cash-project 4 Likes 1 Share |

http://naijanewsline.com/2016/09/09/zuckerbergs-non-verbal-message-to-nigerian-entrepreneurs/ Babatunde Fajimi, [email protected], 07080511600 Nigerian entrepreneurs can learn from the recent low-key business visit of Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg, the tech entrepreneur and young billionaire is a fairy tale of how a college student became the founder and manager of Facebook (from its forerunner, Facemash), one of the most influential websites in the world. He was in Nigeria the previous week. He went around Yaba, Victoria Island and Lekki in Lagos, the economic heartbeat; and later Abuja, symbol of power of Nigeria. He met with young technologists, social entrepreneurs, technology companies, investors, Nollywood stars and government functionaries. He talked, walked, jogged and shared meals with everyday people. His humility, simplicity and fraternity with people belie his $54.5bn worth and are a sharp contrast to the pictures of rich people in this clime. With his visit and lifestyle, Zuckerberg communicated non-verbal messages to Nigerian entrepreneurs, to challenge their world-view about enterprise and sustainable wealth creation. Cultures are inter-related in post-literate world. Capacity development and learning are global tools. Global citizens are progressives who think globally and act locally. They draw inspirations from ideologies that work from any part of the world and contextualise them in their environment. Work hard to succeed Most people are superstitious. They expect the divine to interrupt nature and transform paupers overnight into millionaires through petitions and supplications. Unfortunately, superstitions and luck do not make people successful in business enterprise. The founding fathers of America laid its foundation on the puritan ethics of honesty, responsibility, hard work and self-control. The divine is impartial. Saint or sinner, the laws of nature guarantee success to individuals who work purposefully and patiently hard to create wealth. Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak worked hard when they started Apple in the former’s parents’ garage. Then he was 20 and in 10 years; Apple grew into a $2bn company with over 4,000 employees. Adapt, change and thrive Nothing is static in life. Everything changes. Yesterday, it was yearbook. Today, it is Facebook. Some ingenious entrepreneurs are already interrogating present products and technologies and negotiating a future of possibilities. Entrepreneurs cannot afford to be idle in boom times or depressed in recession. Sessions come, seasons go! There had been boom in this economy. There is recession today. It is cyclical, it will not last forever. Entrepreneurs should be learners, who question their challenges and rethinking their environment. The society is always evolving and entrepreneurs should be open to exploring new and better ways of engaging their target markets. They should stay hungry and always strive for excellence. Gain mastery of lifestyle The undoing of the typical Nigerian entrepreneurs is the quest to upgrade their lifestyle when they start making money. They want to live larger than life. They become afflicted with the incurable disease of ‘bigmanism’ once they start making money. The cocoa farmers of the South West in the 1980s made money during economic prosperity, married more wives, spent lavishly on ceremonies and funerals and bought brand new Peugeot 504 to announce their new-found wealth. The trend subsists till date. Entrepreneurs want to live as celebrities when they make more money and ironically crash before they build any meaningful brand in the marketplace. Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart stores in America, told his story in his autobiography titled, ‘Sam Walton: Made in America’, that he drove his old pickup truck for years, wore a Wal-Mart ball cap and got his hair cut at the barbershop, off the town square. Expenditure has a way of ri to income. Entrepreneurs should maintain moderate lifestyle and keep their expenses lower than the average even when their fortunes grow. This is the way of Spartan lifestyle for entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable legacy for posterity. People matter always Entrepreneurs have the tendency to make friends with their equals: they dine with the high and mighty in the society. They seldom care about their employees or feel the pulse of the society where they do their business. Yes, entrepreneurs need to be in the good books of government and fraternise with powerful people. But, more importantly, people, matter always. People – employees and customers are equally important stakeholders in the business enterprise equation. They can only be neglected to the peril of ignorant entrepreneurs. Smart entrepreneurs surround themselves with intelligent and talented employees, youthful and enthusiastic consumers. They are comfortable around mentors, coaches and people who inspire them to innovativeness and greatness. Building businesses in capitalism is about profit- making but profit-making is practicable and sustainable when the motive is wrapped around the love for people; the desire to create solutions and products to make their lives easy and better. Zuckerberg is back in America Zuckerberg was here. He promised to come again when another opportunity comes. The opportunity he desires is always with us. Nigerian entrepreneurs can find their acres of diamonds here faster than anywhere in the world. With or without recession, dreamers, potential entrepreneurs and start-ups should not stop thinking about tomorrow. http://naijanewsline.com/2016/09/09/zuckerbergs-non-verbal-message-to-nigerian-entrepreneurs/ 54 Likes 10 Shares |

The economic and social development of a country is largely dependent on the productive employment of its working age population. Empowering our working age population will improve their lives as well as allow them to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s national development. The Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in its latest report, stated that Nigeria’s employment crisis worsened in the first quarter of 2016, with unemployment rate rising to 12.1% in March Quarter of 2016, up from 10.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, reaching the highest since December of 2009. The number of unemployed persons rose by 18 percent to 9.485 million. Meanwhile, youth unemployment increased to 21.5 percent from 19 percent. Multiple sources, such as the Trading economics, have estimated that Nigeria’s Unemployment Rate is projected to trend around 12.56 percent in 2020. This is why there is an urgent need for the private sector to the government’s efforts in creating empowerment platforms and opportunities for its working population. It is on the backdrop of such projections, that in July 2016, Interswitch formally launched its latest initiative, ‘Quickteller Paypoint’, with an aggressive target to build a network of over 150, 000 active Agents by 2020. Set up to improve access to financial services for the unbanked and under-banked Nigerians, by bringing a rich bouquet of financial services closer to them. This will be a one stop service point where consumers are able to pay bills, initiate funds transfer, top up airtime, receive funds, etc. To achieve this, Quickteller Paypoint will in the next 5 years empower over 150,000 Nigerians, by building a vast network of Agents across the country who would act as Paypoint Agents. With cost of living on the rise, disposable income dwindling, and unemployment rates rising, Quickteller Paypoint seeks to provide enterprising Nigerians with a stable source of income for the unemployed, and an additional source of income for the employed. The double arrow benefit that comes with rolling out Quickteller Paypoint is enormous and exciting. An initiative that seeks to offer thousands of Nigerians the opportunity to earn additional income, create job opportunities for the unemployed across the country, and promote private enterprises, as well as influence the economic behaviors of the unbanked and under-banked, will no doubt contribute immensely to the socio-economic development of Nigeria. Interswitch’s commitment to promoting a financially inclusive ecosystem, where no one is left out and access to financial services is available for all, has only been reiterated with the introduction of Quickteller Paypoint http://naijanewsline.com/2016/09/07/150-000-nigerians-to-benefit-from-interswitch-empowerment-initiative/
