SMEs just found a friend! Enterprise54.com launches for Africa | “A medium for highlighting startup stories,” says Chika Nwobi
GO Media has launched an entrepreneur-based news and magazine platform, Enterprise54.com. The multimedia platform, which was launched on 1 July 2014, reports ideas, tools and resources that empower entrepreneurs across Africa, with a focus on small business.
“With small business being the engine of emerging economies across the world and a major solution to Africa’s youth unemployment, it is imperative that enterprise flourish on the continent,” said Goke Oyeniyi, the editor-in-chief.
“However, there’s an absence of media platforms dedicated to telling the stories and spotlighting the issues that concern entrepreneurship and the SME sub-sector which is a crucial pillar of the continent’s economy.”
Research shows that an average of 60 percent of small businesses across the continent close shop by their fifth year – a lack of capacity being the major factor. Enterprise54.com’s mission is to mitigate this by publishing actionable advice and highly resourceful content.
“We are excited to help Africans build and grow their businesses,” Oyeniyi, who worked with Ventures Africa for two years, added. Serial entrepreneur and MTech, L5Lab and 440.ng Co-Founder, Chika Nwobi has commended the startup.
“Enterprise54 will be a useful medium where start-up stories are highlighted to motivate Nigerians, and Africans, to launch successful enterprises,” he said.
Clocking in its one-month anniversary, the site has tremendous growth in numbers and engagement, and has already structured and deployed partnerships with pan-African entrepreneurship events to engage with SMEs.
Enterprise54.com is launched in partnership with Red Media Africa, the omnimedia group that holds the continent’s largest portfolio of youth media brands.
Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Jide Kosoko, Iretiola Doyle, Lala Akindoju and others all set to take the stage for The Wives in October
The Wives, a play written by Professor Ahmed Yerima, will be showing at the Muson Centre in Onikan, Lagos in October. It will show on 9, 1o and 11 October, 2014.
The play is presented by The Make it Happen Productions, the same company that produces Open Mic Theatre every other month and V-Monologues in May, 2013.
The play focuses on the intriguing character called Chief Theophilus Gbadegeshin Olowookere, his sister and his three wives, Angela, Cecilia and Tobi.
The cast of the play parades Nigeria brightest acting icons including Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Jide Kosoko, Iretiola Doyle, Kemi Lala Akindoju and others.
“We are excited about this play,” says Kemi Lala Akindoju, who is producer of the play and Creative Director of Make it Happen. “These are immensely talented members of cast and the audience is going to leave the play thoroughly entertained.”
“In The Wives, the question ‘can a man keep his most cherished secrets forever?’ is the central theme of the play. There lies a sordid little secret and no one wants to talk about it. It is a dark comedy rich in sensuality and scathing humour.”
The author, Ahmed Yerima was General Manager of the National Theatre of Nigeria and Artistic Director of National Troupe of Nigeria.
