11. What Problem are you Solving? 


  • The average Nigerian driver is very disadvantagedHe works very hard, probably with little to show for it. He’s smart, but lacks opportunity. Mostly without an education due to financial or other constraints. He’s resigned to being a driver probably as a last resort. The major problems being solved here are:
  • Added value to drivers, who are mostly underpaid
  • Job creation opportunities for Drivers, in and out of the profession
  • Wealth creation opportunities for Drivers and non Drivers
  • Added value to society, by educating that avatar
  • Upsells, down-sells, cross sells for digital and other marketers
  • Mentoring And Coaching opportunities for Content Creators and related others
  • Creating opportunities for seasoned Drivers to share best practice
  • Creating multiple opportunities for Drivers to leverage 
  • Improving the quality of life for Drivers and their dependants
  • Creating a conducive and fairer society
  • Educating the avatar at a very affordable price

12. A Perception of the Nigerian driver 


  • Hard working
  • Financially deprived
  • Educationally deprived
  • Frustrated
  • Abused
  • Disenfranchised
  • Hopeful 
  • Etc


13. Inspiration for this Idea 


I had a chat with my dad’s driver. This was as my dad’s health deteriorated. I asked of his future plans and suggested a collaboration. He was very loyal to my dad. In fact, they had a father and son relationship. I was thinking ahead, as this was supposed to be part of my give back

He thought of becoming self employed, by becoming a taxi Driver.

The limitations are however, that driving skills alone, are inadequate in running a thriving taxi business.


14. What’s the Unique Selling Point?  


The products are curated digital content in languages of choice, that could empower the avatar in attaining his full potential.

It brings learning and education to them at an affordable price. As well as in a user friendly way. They could access the content at their beck and call and consume what they need or choose.
