We are very sorry for scheduling issues for this webinar. We started it very late and will redo it next week as follows. It was planned for 90 minutes and we want to have the full time to deliver it.

• Topic: African Empires of the Future: Path to the Castles
• Presenter: Ndubuisi Ekekwe
• Date: Saturday, Sept 4, 2021
• Time: 2.30pm WAT
• Zoom link:  use this link (Only the first 100 will be on Zoom. Other members will watch via a webcast we will synch here via YouTube)

Statement on Lateness : Good People, let me apologize for the breakdown in our programming today. We scheduled an open webinar today (Aug 28) at 4.30pm WAT but someone I did not make it. My team mistakenly logged the time as 4.30pm my US time in Calendly. Sure, it was all my fault.

By the time I was alerted, I got there 90 minutes late. Yet,  many were still waiting. We began, but I stopped the event since completing the 90-minute presentation would have taken all the Saturdays from families. The event is now rescheduled as as noted above.

Again, my apologies.

Webinar Overview

Digital technology is facilitating the process of socio-economic development in nations. It has offered new ways of exchanging information, and transacting businesses, efficiently and cheaply. It has also changed the dynamic natures of financial, supply chain and many industries, and provided better means of using the human and institutional capabilities of countries in both the public and private sectors.

Increasingly, this technology is rapidly moving nations towards knowledge-based economic structures and information societies, comprising networks of individuals, firms and states that are linked electronically and in interdependent global relationships. This remarkable success has cushioned advancements across many industrial sectors, accelerating productivities, and redesigning economic architectures. New species of firms are born and new empires are emerging!

Ndubuisi Ekekwe will examine how this transformation is powering African empires of the future. He will also explain the path into the castles on how people, firms and nations can capture value.

Images from the mechanical assembly factory. We call it Cloud Hospital and what we are doing is to make it possible to set up a “hospital” in hours. LaFiya TeleHealth Kiosk takes geography out of healthcare services. If your Abuja doctor had moved to Saudi Arabia (you can add Australia, UK, Canada, etc), with Lafiya in your church, mosque, Wuse market, office, etc, he/she can still support you with capabilities to do diagnostics, etc in real time. We did three core things: satellite connectivity, solar power, and proprietary healthtech engines.

We loaded this device with the following, among others:

• 12 lead ECG, URT (Urine Routine) & GLU (Glucose).
•  UA (Uric Acid) & Blood Lipid (TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, TCHO).
•  Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) & Infrared Forehead TEMP.
•  Pulse Oximeter/SPO2, Heart Rate (HR) & Pulse Rate (PR).
•  GLU (Blood Glucose) & UA (Uric Acid).
•  GLU Strip 50pcs/bottle & UA Strip – 50pcs/bottle.
•  Urine Analyzer & 11 items urine test strip 100pcs/bottle.
•  Dry Biochemical Analyzer & Blood lipid strip 15pcs/bottle & Adapter.
•  Hemoglobin Analyzer & HB strip 50pcs/bottle.
•  WBC Analyzer & WBC strip 100pcs/bottle for 100 persons..
•  ETC

We designed originally for Africa but US states like Texas, Mississippi, Indiana, etc are ordering. We need the doctors to stay in Nigeria/Africa, and let me assure that we can use technology to deepen productivity and pay those which remain better.  Yes, we can triple their benefits even as tech helps them to generate more than 10x output.

A healthy future is a promise; Tekedia Capital is funding the future.

Let us have a conversation about Africa’s economic agenda. I have postulated in Harvard that the path we are taking today might have expired. Yes, replicating what China did about three decades ago may not be impactful when you model the perturbations technology systems have provided over the years.

On Monday, that message and more will be live on DSTV,  StarTimes, GOtv, NTA, etc as Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)’s Tunde Bakare speaks with Ndubuisi Ekekwe. Tune it at 11am WAT.

By 2030, I expect 80% of richest Nigerians to have made money from technology. Nigeria is having its finest cambrian moment on the formation of enduring companies. The last time we were this bold, on entrepreneurial capitalism, was in the early 1990s when some of Nigeria’s current leading banks were established.

The 1990s gave us the new generation banks. The 2000s brought voice telephony. The 2010s ushered mobile internet. The 2020s would deliver the era of application utility across industry sectors and market territories.

At Tekedia Capital, we are democratizing how to become part of this future. Taka action here.
