Looking at the increasing challenges bedeviling Nigeria, there is no sense, denying the fact that a cloud of uncertainty hangs around her continuous existence as an independent state.
The unemployment rate, for instance, is estimated to be 33%, this year, with youth unemployment and underemployment specifically pegged at 42% and 21% respectively.
“With the negative impacts of COVID-19 particularly on economic growth, it is inevitable that the unemployment rate will go further up and might even be on a steady path of increase if no meaningful step or measures are taken, attests a report, cited in punchng.com.
Regrettably, the country’s hard-won democracy which obviously is still at a developing stage is equally seriously threatened. The threat, experts observed, is mostly fueled by actions and pronouncements by the incumbent leadership and other state’s actors.
“On the 3rd of June, the Nigerian government via a series of tweets, passed messages that could only be translated as genocidal,” Elvis Kachi, a contributor, writes, recently, in BusinessDay Weekender.
“Buhari, Lolade Akinmulere, Deputy Editor at BusinessDay, also in the same BusinessDay Weekender, notes, has…now become a threat to the same vibrant democracy that brought him into power whether it’s in the form of sanctioning the use of aggressive force against peaceful protesters or the recent Twitter ban for all Nigerians.”
It is however not debatable that in the midst of the severe socio-economic and democracy threats, highly promising and youthful talents abound in Nigeria. The country proudly boasts of young barrier-breakers whose ideas and businesses are solidly competing favorably against long-existing and high-paying ventures in other climes.
Some young Nigerian achievers are equally hitting topmost-levels with what, ordinarily, could be waved off as irrelevant side hustles. It is further clear and highly commendable that some of these young Nigerian limit-breakers are not only pulling and exclusively reserving the spotlight for themselves, they are seriously grooming other young ones to continue to water their progress.
Remarkably, these thrilling narratives are becoming more visible in Nigeria’s integrated marketing communications space. The practitioners, mostly youngsters, are not just making tremendous contributions to the growth of the industry; they are positively disrupting and developing the nation’s broader business and political landscape.
O To Ge was widely considered as one of the most successful media campaigns during the 2019 general polls. The ingenious campaign concept was reportedly designed and perfectly executed by a relatively known advertising agency managed by some young Nigerians. Daniel Obi, writing in businessday.ng, recalls “O to ge” is set to be another social phenomenon that leads a people to defining socio-political awareness and defining decision.”
Several young Nigerian marketing communications experts are equally pulling favourable recognitions and headlines outside the country with their innovative works. As usual, some of them were among those honoured for their pacesetting ideas as well as listed in the recently published Forbes Africa annual 30 under 30.
Interestingly, the list was released at a time when many businesses were brought to a complete standstill by the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic. “…they are the continent’s revolutionary thinkers revitalising ideas and industries with fresh business models and innovative leadership,” notes a report cited in www.forbesafrica.com.
It is further evident that several young Nigerian marketing communicators are moving beyond creating cool and engaging content as well as helping brands in strengthening their market positions.
They are clearly proving that businesses can perfectly use marketing campaigns in dousing sovereignty-threatening issues. In the highly competitive beer sector, for instance, various players are seriously rekindling strong patriotism in the citizens, moving beyond profit-making. International Breweries is promoting its beer brand and at the same time, helping the younger generation in keeping in touch with their culture and tradition through the recently launched Echefula.
The campaign, in Igbo dialect, means “Never Forget Your Identity.” Nwakaibeya, a short film, was reportedly unveiled by Guinness Nigeria to promote its beer brand as well as showcase the rich and colourful heritage of Nigerians from the East. Nigerian Breweries further used 508 crates of one of its beer brands in recreating the popular Niger Bridge as well as deepening relationships with its consumers.
Sadly, these young achievers are making these groundbreaking leaps at a time when Nigeria is clearly mired in crisis. Certain policies of the government, obviously, remained the major roadblock to business progress. In short, the increasing projection is that successive leadership is far from creating the desired environment for their investments.
“Other countries will want to project local industry by supporting them while ours is purportedly taking scarce foreign exchange to some seedy portfolio agency somewhere in Bahrain,” Steve Babaeko reportedly bemoans. Babaeko, currently heading the Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria, AAAN, is one of the young experts perfectly grabbing his chances in the Nigerian marketing communications space.
The good news, however, is that as Nigeria joins the rest of the world in marking this year’s International Youth Day, several Nigerian youths especially the ones in the marketing communications space are boldly challenging and changing “negative normal.” They are clearly proving that they are no longer comfortable, operating within a system where they will make little or no representation in decision-making and execution. They are clearly proving that they are no longer ready to wait idly and endlessly for responsibilities to be entrusted to them.
It is very clear that they are seriously concerned about creating and translating opportunities into appreciable gains. It is also very clear that they are seriously concerned about proving that they got all it takes to perfectly drive the future of the country. It is further very clear that in such Nigerian youths, a new and prosperous Nigeria is possible!

The Shoprite Group has launched an internationally-endorsed Master Meat Artisan Programme for its qualifying butchery managers and will train its initial intake of 52 people to join the exclusive global club of Master Butchers.
As there are only 55 Master Butchers in the world, this programme will boost the development of a particularly scarce and sought-after skill, provide career path opportunities for its employees and put the Group, and South Africa, on the map as world-class specialists in meat processing practices from farm to fork.
Of the only 55 Institute of Meat Accredited Master Butchers globally, five are South Africans, all of whom are employed by the Shoprite Group. Two received accreditation from the United Kingdom’s Institute of Meat in 2019 and a further three were certified in 2020.
The Group already trains some 200 people a year in butchery skills to ensure an adequate supply of talent into its stores’ Meat Markets across the country. The new programme, endorsed by the United Kingdom’s Institute of Meat, will ensure its butcheries continue to enhance the Group’s competitive advantage in this area.
The Master Meat Artisan Programme takes a year to complete, and participants are required to build a portfolio of evidence that includes modules on butchery expertise, business acumen and food hygiene and safety amongst others. It is anticipated that 250 of the Group’s qualifying butchery managers will be enrolled onto this programme over the next five years.
The fact that the programme requires 10 years’ experience, with at least five as a Meat Market manager, to qualify, reflects Shoprite’s commitment to being on a long-term career journey with its employees by providing them with opportunities to develop their skills, increase their knowledge of meat and ultimately grow their careers.
The Shoprite Group is arguably the only company on the continent to provide this type of programme, and as Africa’s largest food retailer, it is committed to developing and enhancing the skills of its employees. This is one of numerous programmes its employees have access to.
The first intake of 52 commenced in August 2021, and all training is undertaken by the Shoprite Group. The UK’s Institute of Meat will be involved in the quality assurance of the learning programme and learners’ achievements.
In July 2021, Iraq purchased 120,000 tons of U.S. long-grain rice (though it has not yet shipped), the first purchase since 2019. The United States has been an important supplier of long-grain rice to Iraq for over two decades.
Iraq is a major rice importer in the Middle East and imports from both Asian and Western Hemisphere suppliers. However, 2020 was atypical for the Iraqi rice market, as its overall imports were down by approximately 20 percent with India supplying most followed by small amounts from Vietnam, Turkey, and Thailand.
Source: U.S. Census Trade Data
While traditional suppliers lost market share in Iraq in 2020, India milled rice exports to Iraq increased by almost 40 percent. The Government of Iraq has traditionally been a major buyer for its Public Distribution System (PDS), buying mainly from approved origins including the United States.
NonPDS, private-sector rice imports have been rising, and private-sector buyers have been attracted to India’s competitive prices for basmati in 2020. Almost all Indian rice exports to Iraq are milled rice, with the majority being basmati rice.
This new sale is welcomed by U.S. rice exporters and the rice milling industry since the Iraqi rice market has also been a historically significant market for U.S. long-grain rice producers. Other than in 2020, in recent years Iraq consistently lands as a top-five export market for U.S. long-grain rice.

In contrast to sluggish imports in 2020, Iraq is forecast to increase its rice imports in 2021 driven by projections for higher consumption, thus granting U.S. exporters the opportunity for additional future sales. However, Iraq appears to be diversifying its suppliers, as demonstrated by recent purchases from Uruguay and Thailand.
Hot and dry conditions for much of the Canadian Prairies have significantly impacted rapeseed production this growing season. The 2021 production forecast is reduced by more than 4 million tons this month to 16.0 million. Oilseed crops are mainly used for the production of oil, a constituent of diet, being an important source of fatty acids.
Average yield is reduced by nearly 20 percent while harvested acreage is lower in response to anticipated abandonment or increased harvesting for forage. With lower production and reduced carryin from last season, rapeseed supplies are forecast to decline more than 20 percent to the lowest level in nearly 10 years.
United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service
With beginning stocks already at minimal levels due to the strong demand observed over the past few years, most of the decline in availability will be reflected in the seed exports.
Crush is also expected to decline; however, with continued strong demand for canola meal and oil in the United States, and positive margins for Canadian crushers, the impact on domestic crush volume is expected to be less significant. Crush volume is forecast to fall just 9 percent while exports are forecast to decline by one-third.
Outside of Canada and the United States, rapeseed supplies (production plus beginning stocks) are forecast to rise more than 2 percent, with increased exports out of Eastern Europe and Australia offsetting some of the declines out of Canada.
With Canada representing more than 60 percent of global trade over the past 4 years, importers such as China and the EU will face the greatest challenges, requiring drawdowns in local stocks and increased substitution with other protein meals and oils. An expected strong rebound in sunflower seed production in Europe will be instrumental in offsetting the reduced availability of rapeseed in Canada.
