NYBLS 2015 - WHY TINAPA?

"The Cross River State remains the most enterprising state in the country, in terms of building an economy fueled by tourism. Its Tinapa Project remains one of the biggest projects of its kind on the continent, and with rapid development ongoing at the Summit Hills, the state's solid reputation for world class tourism is well grounded and rooted, like an oak tree with expansive roots" 

- Solomom Elusoji, ThisDay may 27, 2015 

Tinapa is abandoned. The idea, to export structures incapable of directly impacting the people it is designed for, makes grand ideas like Tinapa a "Black Elephant Project".

The reason that Tinapa is an international edifice for enterprise makes it key in our search to raise the dead, do the almost impossible, raise local awareness and drive entrepreneurial traffic to Tinapa to make it attractive to tourism, the main stay of the state of Cross River.

Between Tinapa and Summit Hills, is a perfect setting for entrepreneur explosion that will set the tone for the development of "Ideas-Park", "Production-Lines", "Industrial Parks", like the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo put it, "Edifice such as this, will be a 'One Stop Solution Point", because as he said "with change comes very high expectation..."

Our expectations from Tinapa is for it to live to its billing - provide Tinapa the needed human traffic to fuel Cross River State tourism with a bias in entrepreneurial activities, in other words, make Enterprise the core reason for tourism.

From 2007, the government said it struggled quite a bit with "trying to crack the Tinapa debacle, because according to some of the things that should have been in place were not in place at the time."

What the government according to Nzan Ogbe did was to create a support; "so what we needed to do was create a steady flow of traffic, because that is the only challenge that Tinapa has."

BEgroup Professionals have assessed the potentials of the "Enterprise Monument" called Tinapa, a brain-child of Donald Duke, a former governor of the state and wager that the idea should be grounded into the psyche of our youths to raise the much desired Entrepreneurial Empowerment to transform our National Economic lifestyle.

Why Tinapa?

It is an Entrepreneurial haven beginning September 27, 2015; 800 youths from all over the 774 Local Government, 360 councils, 36 states of the Federation comprising the six-geopolitical zone of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, will meet at TINAPA, Nigeria's Entrepreneurial Monument to breed the seed that will see the future and take action to work for posterity.

THE SEARCH FOR ECONOMIC NATIONALISTS - BEgroup Professionals

“Unless we improve our bedrock of skills,

we are in for a struggle to keep our place on

the global stage”, -John Crisland

Colonialism is no longer our bane, political nationalism that gave the great African orators and statesmen such as Kwame Nkrumah, Nnandi Azikiwe, Nelson Mandela who bestride the landscape of African political terrain like colossus have done their bids.

Nnandi Azikiwe, the “Zik of Africa “ made it clear that a people must produced a few at every epoch to champion their cause when he stated that:

“Any nation that lacks the spirit of hero worship is incapable of

great achievement. For it is at the alter of the veneration of a great

soul that seed for a greater achievement is germinated”.

 - Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe

A look into why nations have attained any form of greatness is most often traced to the activities of a single person in history whose contributions and impact cannot be overlook.

The Isrealites, Jesus, Britain, Wilson Churchill, America George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jnr, F.D Rosevelt too many to mention,

Arabs, Prophet Mohammed, France Charles – De – Gaul, Indian – Indira Ghandhi, China – Chairman Mao Tse Sung. Most of this champions have one thing in common, the ability to communicate their stand very effectively to their followers to engender appropriate reaction to carry out progressive actions that can impact on the national feelings of the people concerned.

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu of the Ikemba of Nnewi in Nigeria got close to becoming such a speech Hero but for his sectional learning.

The time for political nationalism in Africa is almost wearing out; the present challenge of defining our home grown participatory government is claiming its victims and all manners of local and international meditative solutions are proffered. To this end, Nigeria’s former senate, president has made it very clear that no nation can stamped another nation to adopt their solutions as their solution when he states;

“People want to tell us how to run our own democracy in this country.

There is no democracy from another place and super imposed on any country…

I think we should fashion our own democracy to suit our culture and to suit

our custom”. - Senator David Mark

The idea of our “home grown democracy” has been there for long and has been muted by various African leaders as the only panacea to a strong vibrant government in any African state. It takes a completely artificial (simulation) to grow apples on African soil.

Speakers for Economic Nationalism must begin to emerge, Mr Adagbo Onoja, a Special Adviser to former Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, on media affairs is agreeable to the fact that;

“… the enlightened management of capitalist modernization that

Yaradua seems to be promising deserve the support of all forces of

economic nationalism. Because that is where the future of an African

country like Nigeria lies, not in speculative accumulation model”.

-Adagbo Onoja

To spearhead this paradigm shift, a new class of individuals and groups must emerge. They are merchants and traders in the “intangibles” or “knowledge-workers”, they are speakers, the new catalyst that will power Entrepreneurial Empowerment for Development to meet our economic demand by the year 2020.

“Unless we improve our bedrock of skills,

we are in for a struggle to keep our place on the global stage”,

-John Crisland

This is the word of John Crisland the Deputy Director-General of CBI. The sure way to improve skills is through effective communication using appropriate presentations.

Adolf Hitler stumble on the secrete of effective presentation when he said “to the majority I speak with emotion, to the few I speak with reason, for men go to war much more out of emotions than reason”

Nigeria and Africa is in dire need of speakers to spearhead the evolution of a super-human infrastructure to become hero of economic nationalism. So far the former governor of Nigerian’s Central Bank Mr Soludo use to be the lone voice that is heard all over the world because of his vantage position of knowing the problem of why we are the way we are as a people. Even so, some of his moves are either permanently destroyed or forever check-mated.

We need more voices because according to him;

“For Nigeria to make rapid progress in the quest

to become the China of Africa, it has to run at extraordinary

SPEED in the creation, adaptation of relevant institutions”.

- Chukwuma Soludo

At BEgroup Professionals  we are of the opinion that “The era of speculative buccaneer capitalists” has given way to “Economic Nationalists”. and as part of this design, we have launched out a man-hunt for 800 strong youth entrepreneurs this September to conglomerate at the Tinapa Lake-side Business Resort to raise the bar in entrepreneurial discuss under the theme: Entrepreneurial Empowerment for Development Towards National Transformation,: Options and Strategy
