Semi Agro-Processing Has A Huge Opportunity in Nigeria for Investors

0

I am seeing something in the Nigerian startup ecosystem: semi agro-processing companies will unlock huge opportunities over the next decade. Yes, while everyone is fixated on fintech, the companies which can actually IPO (initial public offering) on the Nigerian stock exchange will be agro-processing startups.

In the last 6-9 years, Okomu Oil (a big agro company) and similar firms have outperformed most sectors, but telecoms, in the exchange. Yes, if you picked Okomu or Presco as your investment a couple of years ago, your Salah or Christmas will be looking bigger now. Indeed, they have returned solid numbers, superior to most banks.

But they’re yet to unlock core latent opportunities in the agro-processing category. We think their own “fintech” moment will happen just as fintech, superimposed on banks, delivered alpha. The “fintechs” of the agro-sector look promising.

(I do not want to list these companies yet, but there are about 3-5 of them which can lead that future)

People will eat and the paralysis of forex in Nigeria will put these new species of agro-companies in solid competitive positions to create strong moats. Those positions will deliver superb numbers for investors. At Tekedia Capital, we’re closing on one, and we hope to expand our antenna to pick the signals out of those domains. #agroWealth is real.

ApeCoin (APE) and Aave (AAVE) Showcase Worrying Performance While HedgeUp (HDUP) Moves Ahead With Stage 2 Presale

0

Asset diversification can play a major role in protecting your capital. Numerous investors will typically invest in numerous types of assets and industries in order to get more exposure to different classes and ensure that if a single industry or asset decreases in value, their portfolio does not take a large hit.

HedgeUp (HDUP) is one of the latest projects that aims to revolutionize how investors can begin buying or selling alternative assets, and today, we will compare it to some competing projects such as ApeCoin (APE) and Aave (AAVE).

HedgeUp (HDUP)

HedgeUp (HDUP) has the advantage of being a first-mover within the Web3 space and is a platform that will disrupt how people will gain access and availability to the alternative assets market.

The HedgeUp (HDUP) user base will gain access to numerous asset classes through the power of fractionalized ownership after minting a non-fungible token (NFT). The original asset gets stored within licensed and insured vaults, which include liquor, gold, diamonds, luxury watches, and much more.

By enabling fractionalized ownerships, any investor can start with as little as $1, making this industry much more accessible.

However, there are also additional features behind HedgeUp (HDUP), such as a master class, dedicated wallet and banking use cases, and investment basket, a HedgeUp (HDUP) Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), and the HedgeVerse.

As for the native token, it’s currently at Stage 2 of its 8-stage presale.

Throughout this stage, the HedgeUp (HDUP) token is offered at $0.013. The token launch will occur after all eight stages are complete or on June 24, 2023.

Only 26% of the total supply will be available, and the smart contract behind HedgeUp (HDUP) was successfully audited by Solidity Finance.

The founders and team tokens are also locked for an 18-month time frame.

Analysts predict that HedgeUp (HDUP) can climb to $1.95 by the end of 2023, meaning that investors who want to get the most out of the project will want to jump into it early.

ApeCoin (APE)

On March 31, 2023, ApeCoin (APE) made an announcement that reminded the community that Special Council Member Gerry and the WG0 Stewards are discussing the proposal for the DAO’s Working Group Structure.

Despite the hype surrounding this announcement, the value of the ApeCoin (APE) cryptocurrency took a hit.

Specifically, on April 20, 2023, ApeCoin (APE) had a value of $4.10. In the last 24 hours, its value decreased by 3.8%, and in the last 30 days, it is down 1.6%.

This indicates that ApeCoin (APE) is showcasing a worrying, bearish outlook and is entering the red zone. Uncertain about the future of ApeCoin (APE), investors and traders are diversifying with altcoins such as HedgeUp (HDUP).

Aave (AAVE)

Aave (AAVE) made an update on Twitter on March 31, 2023, indicating that in the last 63 days on the mainnet, the V3 Ethereum on Aave Protocol showcased the utility of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) in numerous ways. For example, the market size reached over $1 billion, and $193 million of WETH was borrowed in E-mode, with $143 million in flash loans and over 5,300 unique users.

While the Aave (AAVE) network and ecosystem are showcasing a high level of utility, its value has not managed to recover.

As of April 20, 2023, Aave (AAVE) was trading at $73.56. This price point indicates that in the last 24 hours, Aave (AAVE) decreased by 3.4%, and in the last 30 days, its total decrease was at 7.30%. Based on this, it is clear why investors are looking elsewhere for high-growth altcoins.

I wish she was elected!

0

When I heard about the possibility of a woman governor in Nigeria, I was excited. It excited me the most when I saw that there is a possibility that the first woman governor will hail from the northern region of Nigeria; a region where religion and culture prohibit women from public appearances, going into public office, joining politics and even going to schools. 

I can vouch for the fact that every feminist in and out of Nigeria and every advocate of women’s inclusion in governance definitely supported this move and we all rooted for her. 

I really wanted her to win so as to break the longstanding barrier and become the first female Governor in Nigeria, especially from the North because it would have made a big and bold statement and inspired a lot of girl children out there. 

But, if a female governor must be elected, it must be done through the lawful, legal and constitutional process; what we saw play out in Adamawa state which a lot of folks cheered on out of the desperation for there to be an elected female governor should never be allowed to repeat itself again or thrive in our democracy and the perpetrators of those embarrassing electoral crimes should be made to dance to the tune of the law.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner of Adamawa state who has no legal power to declare any candidate elected or returned took the law into his hands and declared Aisha Binani elected even though results are yet to be fully collated. This is an electoral crime. 

She (Aisha Binani)  with the knowledge of the surrounding events that got her purportedly elected went ahead and gave her acceptance speech as the governor-elect of Adamawa state, this act makes her an accomplice to the crime committed by the Resident Electoral Commissioner; she is in the same category guilty just as the REC that illegally declared her elected. They are both electoral criminals. 

She was also accused of bribing the REC with a huge sum of money which gave the REC the impetus in order to work for what he has been paid for, stepped in and usurped the power of the returning officer to declare her the governor-elect even when results are yet to be totally collated. Well, the bribing rumors are merely accusations which are yet to be established in a court of law but I can say that there’s the possibility of truthfulness in it and this is not the precedent we want to set for our upcoming female politicians. 

Her running to court afterwards praying to the court to hold that INEC has no power to nullify her declaration as the governor-elect is quite amusing. You were declared governor-elect by a busybody who has no power to declare a contestant elected or returned, not just that, results were still being collated with millions of votes yet to be counted when you were declared and you are still boldly asking the court to put a seal on and endorse the illegality. You cannot use the court to enforce illegality. Lawyers often say that he who comes to equity must come with both hands clean.

While we hope that Nigeria will one day have an elected female governor and even female president but she must be elected following due process and not snatch power through anyhowness or illegality.

There’s Abundance in the Future and AI will Create More Jobs, the Challenge is Making Sure Your Skill Is Relevant

2

Good People, there should be no panic as a result of my post on the expected displacement, disintermediation and dislocation of jobs as AI and robotic systems move into production phases at scale, across markets and industries. Here is the fact: across human history, most new technologies have always created more jobs, over time, even as they distort some in the short-term.

Indeed, more jobs have been created by computers and Microsoft Word even though Isaac Pitman shorthand experts lost their jobs. Technology makes societies better, but it is not guaranteed that everyone will benefit at the same level. 

During the industrial revolution, workers demonstrated that machines would take over their jobs. But when you look decades later, you would see that the revolution was far better for most people even though a small population of workers were displaced. Yes, their panics did not come to pass when you examine the big picture. Our responsibility is to make sure that we remain relevant, with updated skills, as the wind blows and companies lay off workers like nothing.

Everything will change as AI moves at scale into products. I have noted that Microsoft Word now seems like Microsoft Phrase with its expanded ability to suggest phrases and clauses, not just words. Simply, it is no more word processing, but phrase processing. And wait for years, you can feed your email system to AI, and it can compose responses using your calendar, previous messages, etc, on certain topics. All you would need is to ACCEPT for the email to be sent.

Knowledge has always defined empires, and it remains the most important factor of production. We The People must work to ensure that we do not become mere numbers by elevating our game to whatever the future brings. That means, continuous learning, to deepen our career resilience and employability.

In other words, we must continue to seek new knowledge, through continuous learning, for assured career resilience and employability.  When you have knowledge, you become a factor and cannot be tossed around by firing HR managers. Go for knowledge.

Why Sparklo (SPRK) is Becoming a Better Alternative to Monero (XMR) for Investors

0

Savvy investors are always looking for the next big opportunity in an ever-changing crypto landscape. With Monero (XMR) facing challenges and concerns over delisting rumors, Sparklo (SPRK) is emerging as a more attractive alternative for investors seeking security, innovation, and growth. Here, we delve into why Sparklo (SPRK) is gaining traction and why it’s becoming a preferred choice over Monero (XMR).

Monero (XMR) Slip among Peers amidst rumors of Delisting

The once-popular privacy coin, Monero (XMR), has experienced a significant decline as rumors of potential delisting from major exchanges circulate within the crypto community. The uncertainty surrounding the coin’s future has caused its value to plummet, leaving investors scrambling to find safer and more promising alternatives in the market.

The delisting concerns stem from Monero’s privacy features, which have attracted regulatory scrutiny and made it difficult for exchanges to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

Why Sparklo (SPRK) is becoming a preferred choice over Monero (XMR)

As Monero (XMR) faces an uncertain future, Sparklo (SPRK) is emerging as a better alternative for investors due to its unique approach to investment opportunities and a strong focus on transparency and compliance. Sparklo’s innovative platform allows users to invest in fractionalized NFTs backed by real-world assets such as gold, silver, and platinum bars. This approach diversifies investment portfolios and provides investors with a more secure and stable option.

Furthermore, Sparklo (SPRK) has successfully passed its audit with Interfi Network, ensuring the safety and reliability of the platform. The attractive tokenomics and a low initial price point of just $0.015 make Sparklo a potentially lucrative investment for those looking to capitalize on the burgeoning crypto market. With a team of experienced professionals driving innovation and growth, Sparklo (SPRK) is well-positioned to outpace Monero (XMR) as the preferred choice for those seeking massive growth potential in the crypto world.
