According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Microfinance banks are companies licensed by the CBN to carry on the business of providing financial services such as savings and deposits, loans, domestic funds transfer, and non financial services to microfinance clients. The smallness of the loans or financial services rendered is what differentiates microfinance banks from the regular or bigger banks.

What are Microfinance Bank Loans?

Microfinance bank loans, on the other hand, are small loans granted to micro enterprises or individuals by microfinance banks based on the borrower’s cashflow. Important to note the keyword – borrower’s cashflow. Microfinance loans usually are based on the cashflow and the ability of the borrower to pay back.

Information available on the CBN website, as at 2022, shows that there are over 900 registered microfinance banks in Nigeria licensed to carry on the provision of small and micro financial services to small, micro businesses and individuals.

Online Loans in Nigeria

Online lending in Nigeria has certainly passed its infancy stage and is now steadily on the rise with may players joining in the past few years.

In 2023  the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission approved 173 loan apps and barred several other illegal ones. 119 of these 173 loan apps had full approval while the rest had conditional approvals. So this is certainly a competitive market/industry.

Some would argue that what gave rise to online loan apps is majorly due to the inability of the major commercial banks to provide easy, affordable loan products to their customers. This significant gap in the market is now being filled by lots of loan apps, a significant portion of which is provided by microfinance banks.

One of the challenges facing entrepreneurs or intending business owners in Africa is the lack of access to capital. Of course anyone can start small but some business ideas require some bit of capital, no matter how small, to get it off the ground and have a chance at success.

Asides sources of business funding like loans, investments etc there is one you can take advantage of as a budding African entrepreneur – grants.

What are Grants

Grants are usually non-repayable funds gifted by one party (usually government, non profit organisations, foundation or corporation) to a recipient who may be (but not at all times) a non-profit entity, educational organisation, business or an individual.

Thus business grants are non-repayable funds or other forms of support (financial or non financial) given to a receiving organisation or business to help it get its products/services to the market, expand or grow as the case may be.

So basically the idea of a business grant is to help the receiving business further their business goals or objectives.

Why Grants Can Be an Option for Your Business

Whether you are at the idea, product stage or already generating some revenue, grants can be a smart way to get the needed funds to grow your business.

Businesses that may need or be better suited to grants include;

  • businesses that can not easily be funded by angel investors or venture capital (eg small scale businesses that may not be very easy to scale to millions of dollars in revenue)
  • businesses that cannot take on debt funding (ie loans). Not every business owner is in a position to take business loans. Taking loans sometimes require conditions such as certain level of revenue, providing collateral etc which may be out of the reach of the average African entrepreneur

If you cannot take a loan, get investment for your business, then searching for and getting a grant could be the much better option for your business.

The demand for animal feed in Nigeria is high due to the large population and increasing demand for animal protein. The demand for animal feed is expected to increase as the population grows, and the consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products increases. 80% of individual homes in Nigeria consume chicken and eggs on daily basis.

Building a large business without raising capital is kind of a big deal. Anyone who has tried starting and growing a business knows, firsthand, how tough it can be.

So is it possible to build a billion dollar business without raising a dime in outside investment?

Tough but doable.

There are examples of several business people who were able to start and grow their own business to billions of dollars in value without raising money from investors.

There are several companies that have been sold for billions without raising outside capital. Here are some examples:

  1. WhatsApp: In 2014, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion. WhatsApp had not raised any outside funding prior to the acquisition.
  2. Zappos: Amazon acquired Zappos for $1.2 billion in 2009. Zappos had previously raised some venture capital funding, but the company was profitable at the time of the acquisition.
  3. Spanx: In 2018, Spanx founder Sara Blakely became a billionaire when she sold a majority stake in her company to Blackstone. Spanx had never raised outside capital prior to the sale.
  4. Epic Games: In 2021, Epic Games raised $1 billion in funding from investors including Sony, but the company had already achieved a valuation of $17.3 billion prior to the funding round. Epic Games had not raised any outside capital before 2012.
  5. Patagonia: In 2020, the founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, transferred 100% ownership of the company to a benefit corporation. Patagonia had never raised any outside capital.

These are just a few examples of companies that have been sold for billions without raising outside capital. There are likely many more such companies, especially in industries where it is easier to achieve profitability without significant capital expenditures.

If you have ever been a victim of fake or counterfeit currency notes before then you know how painful it can be to suddenly realise what you have is not real money.

My first experience of fake/counterfeit money was during my University days. I went to a nearby store to buy a few items I needed. After making purchases and making with cash I made to leave only for the store owner to call me back.

“This is fake money”, he said.

I couldn’t quite understand what he meant by that. He went on to explain that the N1,000 I gave him was a counterfeit.

There are several ways to detect fake or counterfeit currency notes. Here are some of the most common methods:

  1. Watermark: Most currency notes have a watermark that becomes visible when held up to the light. This is a design element that is difficult to replicate.
  2. Security thread: Most currency notes also have a security thread that runs through the note. This thread is visible when held up to the light and has text or images that are difficult to replicate.
  3. Microprinting: Currency notes have very small text that is difficult to reproduce. This text is often used in borderlines, numerals, and other parts of the design.
  4. Ultraviolet light: Currency notes have special markings that are visible only under ultraviolet light. These markings are difficult to replicate and can reveal whether a note is fake or not.
  5. Color-shifting ink: Some currency notes have ink that appears to change color when the note is tilted. This is a design element that is difficult to replicate.
  6. Texture and feel: Currency notes have a specific texture and feel that is difficult to reproduce. Counterfeit notes may feel smoother or rougher than genuine notes.
  7. Serial number: Check the serial number on the note, as counterfeiters may often forget to change this detail.

It’s important to note that no single method is foolproof and the best way to detect fake notes is to use a combination of these methods. If you suspect a note is fake, compare it to a genuine note and report it to the authorities if necessary.

There are certainly good African countries to live and work in.

We take a look at the top 8 countries in Africa to live or work in, as gathered from expats, migrant workers and tourists.

2. Seychelles

The country consists of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean  off East Africa. It has many beache, reefs and is home to several rare animals such as the giant Aldabra tortoises. Some of the tourist activities that are popular in Seychelles include snorkeling, diving, surfing. Its one of the world’s smallest countries and is relatively safe.

7. Tunisia

Overall Tunisia is rated as one of the safest countries in Africa and one of the best value destinations. The country has a significant presence of over 3,000 foreign companies (which bodes well for working from the country). Tunisia has been ranked one of the best countries in North Africa in terms of use of digital tools for economic purposes, according to Africa’s Development Dynamics report.

8. Morocco

Morocco ranks 3rd in on the list of countries with the best quality of life in Africa. With a population of just about 37 million, commute time in the country is considered as ‘moderate’. Language and culture may be reasons why it may not be a very easy place to live or work in for many people. However overall the positives outweigh the negatives for anyone looking for best places to live or work in Africa.

 

The holidays may be months/weeks away but, but we can’t help counting down as we get closer to it. The days are long and we could use a little bit of Christmas cheer in their lives right now. So, we believe that it’s never too early to start shopping. As it takes some level of patience, research and a bit of expert advice in order to know how to fill up your shopping bags with some of the items you need to get for Christmas.

Here are some items you need to get right now for Christmas:

Wireless Earbuds

The first on our list is the wireless earbuds. We all hate separating our earpieces when they get tangled and that’s why we had to recommend one Christmas gift for everyone on your shopping list, which is the wireless earbuds. These earbuds are the perfect accessory that can serve as a companion while travelling, commuting,  and returning to work in a noisy office, but there have also been a few outstanding pairs released in 2021.

Portable Power Bank Charger

A power bank isn’t the most exciting Christmas gift you can find under the tree, but due to unforeseen circumstances like a power outage or when you are on a trip, it’s one of the most likely gifts to which will be very useful once Christmas has passed.

Instant Pot

Instant Pots are still trendy. They are just as useful and efficient as they were when they first emerged on the culinary scene, and they’re still one of our favourite Christmas gifts. So, when you go out to get one make sure you get one with multipurpose functions which can be your pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, food warmer and yoghurt maker.

Sweatpants

Looking for ideas on what to get the favourite males in your life. Look no further, as the holidays are for relaxing, nothing speaks comfort as sweatpants. To get the best of your experience look for those that have quality, are cosy and good looking. Any guy would be glad to get them during the holidays.

Chef’s Knife

Wannabe chefs or actual chefs need a chef’s knife, as it is another great Christmas gift for cooks this holiday season. This is due to a large amount of meat you have to prepare for friends and family and you don’t want a knife that will make your work difficult. So, look for a knife with a sharp design, affordable and primed for cutting meat, veggies and more.

A Classic Journal Notebook

Despite being in the digital age, there is this feeling you get when you pen down your thoughts on a piece of paper. So, whether you’re writing down your deepest thoughts or scratching out a grocery list, a classic journal notebook is not only a practical Christmas gift but perfect for your parents, siblings and colleagues alike.

Weighted Blanket

The end of the year, and holiday season, is a perfect time to de-stress and get the beautiful sleep you deserve after working your butt off throughout the year. Weighted blankets are one of the best ways to get your desired result. Weighted blankets are making the waves right now and they are said to have therapeutic functions.

These blankets help stimulate the production of serotonin and decrease the production of the stress hormone, which is the perfect combination to help anyone drift off. Make sure you get a blanket that’s cooling, so you won’t overheat under the weight.

Crocs

Crocs are making a comeback as everyone needs a quality house shoe or slipper. And even if the work-from-home lifestyle ended, these shoes will get plenty of use no matter what.

These fashionably ugly shoes will make a great Christmas gift for someone on your list. Not only are they ‘the in thing’, but they are also waterproof, lightweight and breathable, they leave your feet feeling dry and comfortable. They come with a heel strap that keeps your foot secure, and they’re very easy to clean.

If you’ve ever worn any of this you will know how comfortable they are.

Air Fryer

Ary fryers are the newest kid on the block and they are great to serve as gifts for a foodie loved one who loves being in the kitchen. When searching for a perfect air fryer look for those with numerous one-touch cooking functions for frying food to ideal crispiness without oil, a large capacity that can fit an entire 5-pound chicken and the removable basket inside is dishwasher-safe.

They are the rave of the moment as you can make many recipes with or without oil. This is a must-have for everyone who loves their health.

Scented Candle

No holiday shopping list would be complete without a scented candle. They have this exotic experience they make your guest have. And one way to liven up the mood in your mom’s house is with a scent-filled candle.
