As part of Tony Elumelu’s $100 million commitment to empowering African entrepreneurs, 1,000 Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs, representing 51 African countries from the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme (TEEP) Class of 2015, converged near Lagos, Nigeria for an intensive two-day bootcamp session, an unprecedented gathering of emerging African entrepreneurs, from 10-12 July, 2015.

The entrepreneurs travelled from across the continent – from as far as Madagascar and Morocco – and convened in Ota, Nigeria for an entrepreneurship bootcamp made up of interactive sessions with successful entrepreneurs, political and business leaders, and an open mic session with the Founder, Tony O. Elumelu CON.

Gambian Badje Modou Lamin, whose business is in the agricultural sector, said, “The bootcamp has been a great experience. I have been able to exchange ideas with a number of entrepreneurs. This has really changed my perspective on Africa.”

Maalainine Mohamed Bouya, from Morocco, said: “The bootcamp has been a blast! Right from our journey from the airport down to the bootcamp, we have been discussing and sharing ideas among ourselves. Africa has huge potential.”

Nigerian Obinna Chukwu, said: “The bootcamp has been a wonderful experience – I have met people from all over Africa. It makes me proud of being a Nigerian. I thank Tony Elumelu and the Tony Elumelu Foundation for making this happen.”

Mr. Elumelu, the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, spoke on his life experiences and the principles that he learned from mentors, such as Chief Ebitimi Banigo, that he applied towards his own successful entrepreneurship journey. He answered an array of questions during a two-hour question-and-answer session, offering perspective on innovation, strategy, governance, financial management and decision-making.

He said: “Entrepreneurship is not a short-term journey and I am pleased that we can help these emerging leaders, as they seek to join me in transforming Africa. My commitment towards creating a thousand new entrepreneurs who can change Africa forever, has now become a reality. This is only the beginning.”

Vice President of Nigeria Professor Yemi Osinbajo, GCON, welcomed the entrepreneurs from across Africa and called on them to take advantage of the networks built in Ota to develop pan African investment and trade networks. According to Vice President Osinbajo, “This programme deserves all the commendation it is getting. Tony Elumelu has courageously put his money where his mouth is. Societies can’t develop without social entrepreneurs. I charge you to be little Elumelus and create opportunities for others.”

The Vice President was joined by other senior political leaders including Kaduna Governor Nasiru El Rufai, and Lionel Zinsou, the Prime Minister of Benin Republic.

Other speakers included Parminder Vir, OBE, CEO of the Tony Elumelu Foundation; Mo Abudu, Founder/CEO of Ebony Life TV; Nollywood screen icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde; Nimi Akinkugbe, CEO, Bestman Games; Rasheed Olaoluwa, CEO of the Bank of Industry; former SEC DG Arunma Oteh; inspirational coach Lanre Olusola; Martin Eigbike, Accenture Development Partnerships; governance expert Angela Aneke; playwright and producer Adewale Ajadi; Sam Nwanze, the Heirs Holdings Director of Finance and Investments; and David Rice, Director of the Africapitalism Institute.

The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs of the TEEP Class of 2015 represent 51 African countries and territories. They cover all of Africa’s geopolitical regions - North, East, Southern, Central and West Africa – and major language blocs – Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone, and Arabic Africa - as well as every state in Nigeria. They represent a diversity of sectors that range from agriculture to education to energy, fashion and ICT, emphasising Africa's potential.

In his goodwill message to the visiting Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR wrote, "I am proud that Nigeria (and a Nigerian) is taking the lead in this effort to promote self-worth, encourage entrepreneurship, create jobs, build and promote networks for intra-African trade, business collaboration and investment. Our Administration is committed to unlocking all such opportunities to restore dignity to our people. This programme is one example I hope others will emulate and I commend Tony Elumelu and his Foundation for their endeavor and leadership in this area. "

As he closed the bootcamp, Mr Elumelu challenged all the entrepreneurs by saying, "I want to go to Zambia when I am 80 years old and meet someone who shows me their manufacturing business or financial institution and tells me that it was built starting with $10k from Tony Elumelu. That's what this is about and that's what you owe me." He added, "The return I want from this $100 million investment is your success, because your success is Africa's success."

After the bootcamp, the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme will focus on providing the seed capital and support for the entrepreneurs to put into practice the knowledge gained from the bootcamp and the 12 weeks of training carried out prior to the event. It will also continue to foster increased collaboration between them and the rest of the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Network as it seeks to promote cross-border trade within the continent. The application portal will re-open on January 1, 2016 for emerging entrepreneurs across Africa to compete for places in the TEEP Class of 2016.

NIA YA UDIWANI KATA YA SEGEREA NUSURA UMTOE ROHO MTOTO WA MASSABURI

 Katibu wa Uchumi na Fedha Kata ya Segerea,  Steve Massaburi akiwa Hospitali ya Aga-khan leo akiendelea na matibabu.

Katibu wa Uchumi na Fedha Kata ya Segerea,  Steve Massaburi akiwa Hospitali ya Aga-khan leo akiendelea kuuguza majeraha baada ya kujeruhiwa kwa mapanga nyumbani kwake Segerea jijini Dar es Salaam jana na watu wasiojulikana. Kushoto anayemuhudumia ni jamaa yake Martin Pemba.

WATU wasiojulikana wamejeruhi kwa mapanga Katibu wa Uchumi na Fedha Kata ya Segerea Steve Massaburi usiku wa kuamkia juzi nje ya nyumba yake alipokua akirejea kutoka matembezini.

Kwa mujibu wa Steve aliyelazwa katika Hospitali ya Aga khan, watu hao wapatao wanne wakiwa na Pikipiki, walimvamia majira ya saa tatu usiku nje ya geti la nyumba anayoishi na kuanza kumshambulia huku yeye akijaribu kupambana nao.

Steve ambaye ni mtoto wa Meya wa Jiji la Dar es salaam Dk. Didas Massaburi, alisema wakati watu hao wakimshambulia walikuwa wakisema wazi wazi kuwa lengo lao ni kumuona hagombei nafasi ya udiwani katika Kata hiyo ya Segerea baada ya yeye kuonyesha nia ya kutaka kugombea nafasi hiyo.

“Walikuwa wakiniambia kuwa wewe si unautaka udiwani sasa utaugombea ukiwa kitandani au kaburini, hapa hakuna na umaharufu wa mtu kwa kuwa kila mtu anaitaka nafasi hiyo” alisema Massaburi.

Alisema wakati akiendelea kupambana na watu hao alikuwa akipiga kelele jambo lililowafanya watu hao kumuacha na kasha kukimbia huku yeye akiwa amelala chini damu zikimtoka sehemu za shavuni kutokana na panga alilopigwa.

Pamoja na sehemu ya shavuni, watu hao pia wamemjeruhi sehemu mbalimbali za mkono wake wa kushoto alipokuwa akijaribu kuzuia panga kumdhuru sehemu za usoni.

“Kelele nilizopiga ndizo zilizonisaidia kwa kuwa ziliwafanya watu watoke katika majumba yao kuja kunisaidia wakati huo huo watu hao wakikimbia kwa kutumia pikipiki zao mbili walizokuwa wamekuja nao” aliongeza.

Alisema kwa sasa hali yake inaendelea vizuri  tangu alipofikishwa hospitalini hapo jana huku akishonwa nyuzi zaidi ya ishirini katika taya lilipigwa na panga na watu hao. (Imeandaliwa na mtandao wa www. habari za jamii.com-simu namba 0712-727062)

AFRIKA KUSINI YAKABILIANA NA TABIANCHI KWENYE MIJI YAKE MIKUBWA

Mkufunzi na mtafiti, Daktari John Odindi, kutoka chuo kikuu cha KwaZulu-Natal, Durban nchini Afrika Kusini (kulia) katika mahojiano maalum na mwandishi wa Habari mwandamizi wa modewjiblog.com, Andrew Chale kwenye mkutano wa wanasayansi juu ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi, unaoendelea kwenye ukumbi wa Makao makuu ya UNESCO, Paris, Ufaransa (Picha na Mpiga picha maalum)

[Paris, Ufaransa] Watafiti kutoka chuo kikuu cha KwaZulu-Natal, Durban nchini Afrika Kusini wamewasilisha mada juu ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi kuhusiana na ongezeko la joto kwenye miji (urban temperature increase) ya Durban, East London na Port Elizabeth kwenye nchi hiyo.

Mada iliyowasilishwa na Daktari John Odindi katika mkutano mkubwa wa wanayasansi juu ya siku za usoni na kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi ‘Our Common Future Under Climate Change’ unaofanyika kwenye makao makuu ya UNESCO mjini Paris, Ufaransa. Mkutano huo wa siku nne (Julai 7-10) unawajumuisha wanasayansi zaidi ya 2500 kutoka pembe zote duniani.

Akizungumza katika mahojiano maalum, Dk. Odindi ambaye ni mkufunzi na mtafiti anasema hali ya ongezeko la joto ni kubwa na kupitia utafiti huo wanashauri jamii kuchukua hatua dhidi ya kukabiliana nayo.

“Utafiti wetu tuliowasilisha ni tumeangalia namna ya kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi dhidi ya joto katika miji hii kwani linakuwa kubwa kutokana na ongezeko la makazi mengi ya watu, viwanda na shughuli za kila siku za wananchi” alibainisha Dk. John Odindi.

Dk. John Odindi anashauri uhifadhi na utunzaji wa mazingira ya asili ikiwemo mimea, chemichemi za maji ya asili na mito kulindwa kwani vitu hivyo ndivyo vinavyosaidia kupunguza hali ya joto mijini.

Hivyo ansema kupitia mkutano huu wa Wanasayansi, kuelekea mkutano mkuu wa 21 wa nchi wanachama wa Mkataba wa Mabadiriko ya Nchi (COP21) utakaofanyika Paris , Desemba mwaka huu, anatumai kwamba mataifa yatajumuika kutafuta muafaka za kupunguza kiwango cha joto duniani.

Pia anabainisha kuwa, nchi ya Afrika Kusini imejidhatiti katika kukabiliana na hali hiyo ya tabianchi katika ongezeko la joto mijini kwani mkutano wa COP17, ulifanyika katika jiji la Durban, Afrika Kusini.

Mada hiyo inaenda sanjari na matakwa ya mataifa mbalimbali juu ya kukabiliana na kiwango cha hali ya joto na nyuzi mbili (to reduce temperature level by 2 degrees).

Baadhi ya wanasayansi hao wakiwa katika mkutano huo unaendelea katika ukumbi wa mikutano wa makao makuu ya UNESCO, Paris, Ufaransa.. (Picha kwa hisani ya Christophe Maitre, INRA).
