Heritage Bank Hosts TTT, Uriel, 6 Evicted BBNaija Housemates | PHOTO

Heritage Bank Limited, Nigeria’s Most Innovative Banking
Service Provider, has enhanced capacity of Ex-Housemates
of Big Brother Naija reality TV show and other emerging
21st century entrepreneurs at an SME enhancement
capacity training programme.
Speaking at the breakfast meeting in Lagos yesterday, Mr.
Ejikeme Obiano, Head, Solutions and Propositions of
Heritage Bank said the bank was committed to creating,
preserving and transferring wealth as a timeless wealth
partner to its customers.
He said the bank sees each customer as unique and
therefore designs solutions that are tailored to address
each customer’s needs.
Obiano also said the bank prided itself as a leader in many
fronts such as the first to introduce COT free banking since
it came into operation in 2013 as well as being the first to
issue transparent cards and wallet sized-mobile POS.
The Head of Solutions and Propositions also remarked that
the bank had put in place HB Concourse offices in Lagos,
Abuja among others to enable budding entrepreneurs to
access information on SME online as well as hold business
meetings in a bid to reduce overhead costs at the
beginning.
Some of the Ex-BBnaija Housemates that graced the event
include Offiong Edet Anthony (Thin Tall Tony), Ese Eriata
(Ese), Ekemini Ekerette (Kemen), CoColce Sowode (Coco-
Ice), Gifty Powers, Uriel Ngozi Oputa (Uriel), Miyonse
Oluwaseyi (Miyonse) and Somadina Anyama (Soma).
Also speaking, Mrs. Raliat Oyetunde, a principal SME
Consultant to Heritage Bank listed some key qualities that
would enable budding entrepreneurs to run a successful
business in the Nigerian economy.
According to her, one of the qualities that a budding
entrepreneur needs to be successful is to have passion for
something, adding that it is the passion that will transform
that thing to cash.
Oyetunde who also doubles as the CEO of Prinsult Global
noted that another quality that an emerging entrepreneur
needs to overcome the fear of competition is the ability to
disrupt the ecosystem.
She advised the participants that they should be able to
determine the need of their target audience so that they
can channel their production towards meeting such needs.
The SME consultant explained that the need of the
customers must tally with the idea of the business
promoter for the two to strike a balance.
Other qualities, she listed, include identifying a box, that is
focused area; idea generation, business model canvass
(identifying customer segment you want to appeal to), value
proposition, identify channels to be used, customer
relationship, key activities, resources and partners, cost
structure, building capacity, access to market, mentorship,
funding, business registration as well as network
opportunities to market the business among others.
Heritage Bank is one of the sponsors of the on-going BB
Naija reality show which Katung Aduwak, the first winner of
Big Brother Nigeria, said was designed by its creators to
attract controversies and create agenda for social
discussions.
Beside this, Heritage Bank had earlier promoted Nigeria’s
rich cultural heritage to the global community through the
on-going Big Brother Naija.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
