…collaborates with Naija Lives Matter and American Internet Business School to offer ongoing digital self-employment mentorship

The convener of the Moghalu4Nigeria movement, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, today announced a collaboration between the movement, Dr Ope Banwo’s Naija Lives Matter Organization, and the American Internet Business School, to provide a series of digital skills & self-employment empowerment bootcamps.

Prof. Moghalu, who is a 2023 Presidential Aspirant under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said the bootcamp is targeted at Nigerian youth interested in learning how to legitimately monetize the internet for self-employment, using simple skills they can learn and deploy for profit in a matter of days.

In an unprecedented community service initiative that further sets him apart as a new kind of politician in Nigeria, Prof. Moghalu unveiled a program for the benefit of the youth and unemployed that is markedly different from the usual “fish-to-eat” practice of old school politicians handing out food and money whenever it is close to elections.

According to Ochi Ogbuaku Jnr, a senior official of Moghalu4Nigeria movement, this Moghalu “Fish-For-Life” initiative will provide training, and digital self-employment opportunities to a million youth over the next 12 months, through live online workshops, recorded trainings, and ongoing mentorship by seasoned trainers from the American Internet Business School, coordinated by Naija Lives Matter organization. “This initiative is part of a big picture vision we have been working on for some time, and we are excited to be finally kicking it off.

The first batch of training will commence on Tuesday March 15th – 18th and every month thereafter for the next 12 months and hopefully beyond. This free, 5 Day bootcamp will provide practical, and immediately marketable skills, to attendees in the areas of freelancing, affiliate marketing, info marketing and e-commerce. The program will be declared open by our convener, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu.”

Dr. Ope Banwo, Founder of Naija Lives Matter and American Internet Business School, the co-organizers of the initiative, said: “As someone who has benefitted immensely from taking advantage of the amazing business opportunities in the digital marketplace for years, I know for a fact that acquiring digital business skills is one of the fastest routes out of the cycle of unemployment in most developing countries, regardless of level of education, technical skills, or economic conditions. The Fish-For-life initiative is all about training and certifying people interested in getting trained and certified for highly-in-demand digital business skills across the world.”

Fish-For-life initiative will empower up to 1 million youth with basic digital self-employment skills they can learn and deploy in literally a matter of days with zero investment. Any Nigerian interested in learning digital skills for self-employment can apply now, 100% FREE, at www.moghalu.org/fishforlife.

According to the program’s website, the attendees can look forward to:

Immediate past governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, who was arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has spent second night in the custody of the anti-graft commission.

 

Okowa is currently being investigated and detained over the alleged diversion of N1.3 trillion.

 

The N1.3 trillion reportedly represents the 13% derivation fund from the federation account between 2015 and 2023.

 

According to sources within the commission, Okowa was invited to the EFCC office in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he’s subsequently detained by officials.

 

One of the sources stated, “Okowa was at our Port Harcourt office following an invitation from investigators probing the allegations against him. He was then arrested. The commission is investigating him regarding the N1.3 trillion 13% derivation fund from the federation account between 2015 and 2023.

 

“He is also accused of failing to account for the funds, as well as another N40 billion he allegedly claimed was used to acquire shares in UTM Floating Liquefied Natural Gas. He reportedly bought shares worth N40 billion in one of the country’s major banks, representing an 8% equity stake, to support the offshore LNG project. The funds are alleged to have been misappropriated for other purposes.

Investigators are also examining the alleged diversion of funds by the former governor to acquire estates in Abuja and Asaba, Delta State. He is currently being held at the EFCC facility in Port Harcourt.
