If you wanna go fast go alone, if you wanna go far go together.

While some of you are falling for scams in this comment section. Atleast soak in the principle Tolu spoke on. Grow something that’ll pay you for life

Volunteer and none profit work is unparalleled in terms of productivity, mindset and overall abilities tbh. They are used to work on shoestring budgets and no one is there cause they have to but cause they want to. I've been a huge advocate of more for profit companies taking notes on best practice by big international volunteer organisations.

Don't be afraid of fear because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger.and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self.

I agree. Quite the remarkable work and research. And of course debunking the age old belief that profit in a non-profit effort is some form of profiteering. Indeed if you want to be successful long term in sustainability and development profitability is a must. I hope this can be integrated into the development work in other sectors like the energy sector as mentioned. Thank you for the Ted Talk and repping 🇳🇬

Isn't this what a social enterprise all about?

Isn't "agent banking" just a loan shark????

[High-Tech-Geek]

Banks take all their consolidated money and make large profits on the world market through investments and loans. Banks pay employees. How much are you paying the agents? I hope you're not just telling them it's going to increase customers for their retail business. How much training are you giving the agents? The agents will be robbed if they become known cash points. What kind of security are you providing for these "human ATMs"? I hope you're not charging fees to the customers for withdrawals and deposits (other than fair market interest on a loan and low late fees). I hope you're paying customers interest on their accounts. Don't squeeze your customers. Don't abuse your agents.
