NYBLS 2015 - WHY TINAPA?
"The Cross River State remains the most enterprising state in the country, in terms of building an economy fueled by tourism. Its Tinapa Project remains one of the biggest projects of its kind on the continent, and with rapid development ongoing at the Summit Hills, the state's solid reputation for world class tourism is well grounded and rooted, like an oak tree with expansive roots"
- Solomom Elusoji, ThisDay may 27, 2015
Tinapa is abandoned. The idea, to export structures incapable of directly impacting the people it is designed for, makes grand ideas like Tinapa a "Black Elephant Project".
The reason that Tinapa is an international edifice for enterprise makes it key in our search to raise the dead, do the almost impossible, raise local awareness and drive entrepreneurial traffic to Tinapa to make it attractive to tourism, the main stay of the state of Cross River.
Between Tinapa and Summit Hills, is a perfect setting for entrepreneur explosion that will set the tone for the development of "Ideas-Park", "Production-Lines", "Industrial Parks", like the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo put it, "Edifice such as this, will be a 'One Stop Solution Point", because as he said "with change comes very high expectation..."
Our expectations from Tinapa is for it to live to its billing - provide Tinapa the needed human traffic to fuel Cross River State tourism with a bias in entrepreneurial activities, in other words, make Enterprise the core reason for tourism.
From 2007, the government said it struggled quite a bit with "trying to crack the Tinapa debacle, because according to some of the things that should have been in place were not in place at the time."
What the government according to Nzan Ogbe did was to create a support; "so what we needed to do was create a steady flow of traffic, because that is the only challenge that Tinapa has."
BEgroup Professionals have assessed the potentials of the "Enterprise Monument" called Tinapa, a brain-child of Donald Duke, a former governor of the state and wager that the idea should be grounded into the psyche of our youths to raise the much desired Entrepreneurial Empowerment to transform our National Economic lifestyle.
Why Tinapa?
It is an Entrepreneurial haven beginning September 27, 2015; 800 youths from all over the 774 Local Government, 360 councils, 36 states of the Federation comprising the six-geopolitical zone of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, will meet at TINAPA, Nigeria's Entrepreneurial Monument to breed the seed that will see the future and take action to work for posterity.

As a group, Mr Morah said their desire is to encourage young Nigerians with good minds and "great ideas" to become Entrepreneurs by providing them with persons, right circumstance and a convivial environment supported by relevant institutions to actualize their personal work.
Professor P. O. Donli, one of the Speaker for the 2nd National Youth Business and Leadership Summit at the event advised would-be delegates to return to Tinapa, venue of the NYBLS2015 with a mentality to fill in what she calls "The needs-gap". In similar development, BEgroup Professionals consultant and patron, Mr Moses Akaezer implored delegates to hold on which he simply meant Job-Creator not Job-Seekers.
The President and Executive Director, Honourable Quadri-adu S. Kehinde of Alliance Africa Sustainability whose motto is "Africa must survive" was on hand to discuss with some of his members who are also taking part in the Delegate Aptitude Test. He expressed confidence in the criteria used for selecting the delegates.

guided our measurability and assumptions approach to arrive at a prognosis, convinced
of the facts on ground, we worked non-stop to attain the objective of building
800 more properly equipped Entrepreneurs whose intent and purposes to up the
nations GDP is guaranteed. At BEgroup, we confirmed that this project(NYBLS
2015) cannot come at a better time now that we have the wind of change blowing
us all.

THE SEARCH FOR ECONOMIC NATIONALISTS - BEgroup Professionals
“Unless we improve our bedrock of skills,
we are in for a struggle to keep our place on
the global stage”, -John Crisland
Nnandi Azikiwe, the “Zik of Africa “ made it clear that a people must produced a few at every epoch to champion their cause when he stated that:
“Any nation that lacks the spirit of hero worship is incapable of
great achievement. For it is at the alter of the veneration of a great
soul that seed for a greater achievement is germinated”.
- Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe
A look into why nations have attained any form of greatness is most often traced to the activities of a single person in history whose contributions and impact cannot be overlook.
The Isrealites, Jesus, Britain, Wilson Churchill, America George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jnr, F.D Rosevelt too many to mention,
Arabs, Prophet Mohammed, France Charles – De – Gaul, Indian – Indira Ghandhi, China – Chairman Mao Tse Sung. Most of this champions have one thing in common, the ability to communicate their stand very effectively to their followers to engender appropriate reaction to carry out progressive actions that can impact on the national feelings of the people concerned.
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu of the Ikemba of Nnewi in Nigeria got close to becoming such a speech Hero but for his sectional learning.
The time for political nationalism in Africa is almost wearing out; the present challenge of defining our home grown participatory government is claiming its victims and all manners of local and international meditative solutions are proffered. To this end, Nigeria’s former senate, president has made it very clear that no nation can stamped another nation to adopt their solutions as their solution when he states;
“People want to tell us how to run our own democracy in this country.
There is no democracy from another place and super imposed on any country…
I think we should fashion our own democracy to suit our culture and to suit
our custom”. - Senator David Mark
The idea of our “home grown democracy” has been there for long and has been muted by various African leaders as the only panacea to a strong vibrant government in any African state. It takes a completely artificial (simulation) to grow apples on African soil.
Speakers for Economic Nationalism must begin to emerge, Mr Adagbo Onoja, a Special Adviser to former Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, on media affairs is agreeable to the fact that;
“… the enlightened management of capitalist modernization that
Yaradua seems to be promising deserve the support of all forces of
economic nationalism. Because that is where the future of an African
country like Nigeria lies, not in speculative accumulation model”.
-Adagbo Onoja
To spearhead this paradigm shift, a new class of individuals and groups must emerge. They are merchants and traders in the “intangibles” or “knowledge-workers”, they are speakers, the new catalyst that will power Entrepreneurial Empowerment for Development to meet our economic demand by the year 2020.
“Unless we improve our bedrock of skills,
we are in for a struggle to keep our place on the global stage”,
-John Crisland
This is the word of John Crisland the Deputy Director-General of CBI. The sure way to improve skills is through effective communication using appropriate presentations.
Adolf Hitler stumble on the secrete of effective presentation when he said “to the majority I speak with emotion, to the few I speak with reason, for men go to war much more out of emotions than reason”
Nigeria and Africa is in dire need of speakers to spearhead the evolution of a super-human infrastructure to become hero of economic nationalism. So far the former governor of Nigerian’s Central Bank Mr Soludo use to be the lone voice that is heard all over the world because of his vantage position of knowing the problem of why we are the way we are as a people. Even so, some of his moves are either permanently destroyed or forever check-mated.
We need more voices because according to him;
“For Nigeria to make rapid progress in the quest
to become the China of Africa, it has to run at extraordinary
SPEED in the creation, adaptation of relevant institutions”.
- Chukwuma Soludo
At BEgroup Professionals we are of the opinion that “The era of speculative buccaneer capitalists” has given way to “Economic Nationalists”. and as part of this design, we have launched out a man-hunt for 800 strong youth entrepreneurs this September to conglomerate at the Tinapa Lake-side Business Resort to raise the bar in entrepreneurial discuss under the theme: Entrepreneurial Empowerment for Development Towards National Transformation,: Options and Strategy

EXPERIENCE CALABAR – YALA “IHI – ONIPIPE FESTIBAL this August 30th 2015
Calabar
has fast assume a world cultural carnival and festivals centre. The traffic of
tourists to other parts of the world for business and leisure has since 2007
considered Cross River State, Nigeria the preferred destination.
For
several years now, the land and people of Cross River State has enjoyed mention
as one of the world’s commercially viable destinations which has invariably
impacted on the state’s status as a former heavily dependent state on Federal
allocation to a revenue generating state in the country. This is not
unconnected with the creation of The Calabar Carnival, a full month celebration
of culture, color, beauty and abundance of variety.
Since
the opening up of our cultural festivals and carnivals and as more of the world
gets to hear and come to see, it will be pertinent to transform the state into
a world-must-visit place by harnessing the more than 50 cultural groups and
dialect into one big commodity ready for the global market.
Yala,
a local government in the state celebrates
“Ihi – Onipipe”, an age long cultural festival that brings all indigenes
and friends of the community together every 30th August, the Ugep,
Obudu, Bekwara, Ishibori, Ikom and so many others can be part of a bigger
celebration all year round.
Calabar
can do well to spread the tourism message to its immediate communities and
prepare them for the change that will boost cultural affinity, entrepreneurship
and expansion of the business of growing the state through tourism and hospitality.
