How Technology is Revolutionizing the Way We Do Business
[Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] Community welcome to the old talk show and on today's episode we have with us a very special guest from Kenya who studies here in Clemson Algeria but lets him introduce himself so I can get to know him a bit it's my pleasure to be here yeah I'm Charles makuka I'm from Kenya and I'm student here in Algeria I do study in University of abubakar kite in Clemson which is located in the western part of Algeria close tomorrow yeah yeah it's a country in Africa Algeria and um yeah you you study here in Clemson what do you study I do automation engineering automation engineering yeah automation engineer and what's it like studying Automation in Nigeria okay I can just go in general about automation yeah it's just I can say the future okay yeah we are moving on how because automation is just making something to work on itself without need human to be there yeah so that's what is automation it's whereby you got things they can be able to work for themselves they can run for themselves without using that yeah that's what I can say okay so it's like looking at the concept of Robotics or looking at the concept of artificiality intelligence looking at the concept of The Internet of Things So to say in general yeah good those things they're being automated and just you can see the future is more that's where the future is moving because of the technology whereby you want to make things easy fast and they can be available every time when needed because as human beings we do get tired sometimes so we need machines that they can replace under us and they can work you see so yeah that's what I can say that's what I guess okay so that's that's actually a beautiful beautiful one studying automation here in crime scene and also understanding the fact of the importance of you know technology or you know automating so to say yeah and economy or automating the process so to say to simplify or make our lives much more comfortable so um basically this episode or this platform will try to try to touch on the entrepreneurial part of you know of an individual and you being a student I'm sure you you have been here means you have some kind of entrepreneurial um background so to say would you want to open a bit into your cupboard of your entrepreneurial experience Ah that's a good question well about meant uh Premier Journey oh wow yeah okay I'm an engineer but I can say I like things to do with entrepreneurship yeah we call them business yeah for sure it hasn't been an easy Journey for me if I killed can allow me to share about it yeah right now I can say I have some business that I'm running and uh they are doing well not bad they are enabling us to move from one step to another yeah so I can say I started from Far once uh I'm studying here in Algeria you're coming to a country whereby you are rewarded with a Visa the student visa when you come here you will start to figure out how am I going to survive exactly it's not easy yeah how am I going to get money should I call back my parents or how am I going to and you'll notice that you have really grown up you're supposed to be there for yourself exactly yeah so those are the questions which were running on my head what are you going to do now you're in Algeria you can't go and work in the restaurant during summer vacation so that you can get something what are you going to do I mean who is going to employ you that's the first place that's the fact yeah because you know our country though it's good it's a good country don't be like Nigeria it's a good country yeah yeah so what I can say it wasn't easy and being there started figuring out and looking at my senior students we call them Asia here yeah how they are living so I can understand so someone like me whom my country is not giving nipples because there are other countries which they normally receive posts so the students they are here they are so really hacks they don't how can I download stress to move or to do anything because the manual Pickering yes so checking like I'll look at this country I realize then they're getting something this one uh their government is there this one like this and this and I realize I noticed like I'm alone me I have to depend on my parents back at home I say no I can't find a solution because I have to survive looking at menacres I'm not seeing any business they are handling and knowing that in this country you came as a student so yeah you will have to study not one year it wasn't easy so I started figuring ways so within where I used to live in the hostels here we call them the city I could just walk and try to find a maybe when I take this thing will it give me something what should I do to this guy so that I can get something so by that time I started selling preparing some food stuff so how can you call it [Music] so I started cooking those nuts and because I to me I say it's like an opportunity because I want to see people do doing those little preparing snacks and selling them okay those guys I can see them ordering food outside and I say ah these guys are this this is an opportunity instead of them taking that money outside wait can I yeah can I get into it yeah so that's when I started so that means you're like a good cook you know to prepare pastries and all that yeah man I know I'm from Kenya whereby I used to cook when I was young oh okay that's great yeah you capitalize on your skill sets and you created an opportunity from your skill sets we use YouTube you know okay to learn some new tricks that's good yeah so I started um I started selling snacks preparing snacks and sell them to students there and it was good they used to buy at least I can get something and to me I felt oh that's good that's good so I moved on so as I continue to move on I noticed I even started Distributing to other cities okay other hospitals because I was in one hostel but I decided let me grow I didn't stay here I need some more money so I started supplying in two hostels okay yeah both of them they were boys hostels yeah girls hostels I couldn't manage I'm telling you I with time another idea came out okay another idea came up and I said okay so right now I'm selling these nuts but I'm not comfortable I need more so what should I do so that money which I go through snacks I said okay piano Algeria they can't say one thing you you started the business of making pastries and then sending it to people yeah and then you were able to gather a reasonable amount of money receiving from your business obviously yeah and you've got a reasonable chunk to even think of a new idea okay yeah so when I got something I said okay I think uh because I need to get something good YouTube I hear people who are saying that YouTube is playing YouTube is playing YouTube and he's playing so I say okay let me try this let me try this and see how it will go so that's when I started writing my own scripts because I I dreamed big so okay so when they they came and I don't like I can I can start my own show with that little I want for a little amount of money from snacks so that's what I started my YouTube channel which is called makoka entertainment okay and we were we started with a drama series yeah but uh the challenges you know it's not easy you need to move on you need to keep on going but hey so what can you highlight a bit of a challenge you say you want to it's a makuka entertainment yeah it's a major kind of house yeah it was a comedian yeah it was kind of Comedy but you say It's a drama comedy something like that so I just select yeah it was during Corona in this thing it's the year 2020. I noticed like there's a lot of students they're just at the city at the hostel and yeah there's a YouTube idea which has come to me so I said let me use this guy so let me talk to them so that we can start our travel I think okay they can be busy and also who knows if these things goes well yeah them too they'll be somewhere so I I talked with my my fellow students so we agreed and we started okay those starting I told you I faced a lot of challenges in fact when I was shooting I noticed that the money wasn't enough you know with the money that I got from snacks and I went to start something like a camera so it wasn't easy so the money wasn't enough events so we had a lot of challenges but we keep on continuing and when we noticed like even shooting that whole scene like for the drama the whole Office episode it won't be possible because of financial challenges I had to move on into short comedies because it would be easy so I tried short comedies I tried short comedies short comedies but you know in YouTube there is something which is called persistence and even consistency yeah these two they go together so a young guy here and one of the fellas I want I don't refuse to say so I couldn't be patient denying because while I was there still working there I was looking for another opportunity because you know my goal was to get money so fast so that I can be able to survive but here a YouTube thing is telling me I have to be patient how am I going to make it it wasn't easy yet I met a lot of people but I most of them couldn't understand me and couldn't be be in a position to help me at that moment so I had to think out of the box I'm telling you I I thought of um starting a business selling clothes I said maybe I continue with YouTube if I'll be getting money from somewhere yeah maybe I can yeah I can manage yeah okay so it blocked me because I noticed hey makuka you're a student in Algeria that's one thing I said no no this is a lot so let me try to go and talk maybe to the people within Algeria maybe they can help me because I thought of maybe starting it online then once it expands I will look for an Algerian guy then maybe we partner we open a shop in in the town where we live Clemson okay so that maybe the business will grow because once I start thinking I think bigger they said becoming like a big mall okay my idea but I said okay maybe I'm limiting myself maybe I can talk to these people within Algeria maybe things may be might go well can you try to ask police yeah I went to the police and I asked them I'm a student here and I'm really suffering I don't have booze okay Algeria give us both is like how can I say stupid yeah they give us but it's very little like they'll give you photos and it's 200. four thousand is like how many dollars is that 15 10 15 20 yeah yeah around twenty dollars imagine twenty dollars for four months it's not easy depending on that it's not easy or you can't really depends if I was actually going to approach it again the standard of living here in Algeria yeah and how you you expenditure so to say and you know comparing your standard of living with how much you expected to earn as a student here in Algeria you know the difficulty of managing live living on your own without with nobody with nobody supports although you know it's normal to for you being in Algeria you you need to have an external support in fact in any other country it's good to have an external support but at the same time can this even be an opportunity where you know one being present in on a location you can have the advantage of supporting yourself without external support there needs to be that opportunity yeah it need to be there so that's why I I have to go there at the policy so that I was telling the call is like I'm going through there's no this it's only twenty dollars for four months I don't receive money from home like there are a lot of things so I don't like when I ask them if they can allow me to open a business in Nigeria maybe they can how can they can feel sorry for me today that's what I said let me try because in this world you have to try maybe that day it could be a different day okay you are granted permission you can start hooking your clothes in the streets so that's what I did and and and how can you say it wasn't good because they told me okay makuka this is not possible you came here as a student you have to respect the rules and the you know and regulations So you you're a student that one we are not there if you want to come and do business go back to Kenya and come with another Visa oh okay wow I say oh I'm done it's okay I went back home so I said okay these people have limited me from walking on the ground let me try online so I opened mapuka collection okay at that time I'm still working at America entertainment but we're having some challenges so I opened my hookah collection I started selling clothes but I was targeting mainly anyone who come online though I was saying if the Algerian government will catch my remote what am I going to do I would say they might try to come to you people so they can help but you couldn't so that's why I decided to take yeah but taking a drink so I was reaching my Algerian friends and telling them to be in partnership with me so that in case or be rich by any government Source they'll be the one responsible to deal with they will say that it's theirs but something surprisingly no one was ready for it yeah I mean I can see future but all the people they weren't saying that they would be seeing like this guy with his four clothes which he has hanged on he's thinking like he'll get clapped what's that like then they were not seeing whatever I was seeing because when I was seeing a big mall I'll sing a big how can I say a big shop selling a lot of different types of clothes but then they were just seeing those four clothes so if I give them the opportunity all of them they were refusing yeah they refused so I continue I had one thing the clothes you you hung or the clothes you put on display yeah how did you manage to get them like did you go buy from like a cheap place or did you make them yourself or because obviously I know some people who actually fashion designers who create like their own ways and whatnot on the market so how did you manage to you know get the product what happened with me you know there is something I forgot I like when I was um when I was uh I was on my entertainment I have opened a clothes business at the same time I opened the clothes business I was like I have I had a friend of mine who had uh introduced me to a certain business a like I was holding for him his money okay like he was doing long things moving out loans so because he was leaving he told me like you can you can you can hold this money for me so that's what I decided I decided okay because I was getting something from that loan loan money thing I decided okay let me do this uh let me take some of it is alone okay me myself I became one of the people who took the loan and I went to centralville and I talked to those guys and I told them because I was buying in like five six so I told them I want to be buying these ones but I wasn't telling them that I'll be selling them here okay I was telling them I'm taking them back to my country so they can sell them in my country yeah so that they can allow me to take them because if they know I was avoiding like Algeria to know these things because I've been told it's I can't do it but in reality I was taking time ago with them at the city okay so I so I was buying in town I sell them at the city I sell to my my fellow students at the hospital yeah so I did that business as I continue doing that business [Music] entertainment started fading out I started how can I say because I I I became busy on the other side on clothes business and uh on holding the money this and alone thing we can say because by that they don't think could fit me so you see once I my goal because my main goal was like getting something that changed first of all to sustain me like I can be able to get money fastly and I can be able to survive that was my my goal so when I managed to get that about the loan it made me to shatter one of my biggest dreams of Market entertainment because I stopped yeah okay when I was going to close business I was going so that I can get money so that I can post to support Market entertainment But as time goes on because I started getting more and more I noticed okay here the loan thing is giving me better than I have to work I the rewards will come but late and they might come every but that's why I lost Focus I will continue later because number one you people don't know that Mark entertainment was taking a lot of Time how to protect Spirits a lot of things and then also remember that I'm doing those three things that I'm a student I have school so it wasn't easy yes it wasn't easy so I said okay at the moment and also I'm not entertainment I wasn't doing it alone I was working with students who almost every time they were busy too because of school so sometimes I could tell them okay we have a shoot session today don't tell me no I have my class I have this this and this all of them they'll be so I said okay this one I'll focus on it once I'm done I'm available and I find people who are always readily available so that's how I ended up forgetting a little about macro at the time and then I focused the clothes clothes I continued I continued until uh it reached to a moment whereby the clients declined because Algeria what happened Algeria government couldn't bring more students but it couldn't bring another students again new students new students so what is happening right now it's like everyone is going back home so they they know the number of students is reducing so as the number of students reduced they couldn't get more clients to buy my stuff within the city I tried online but it wasn't doing well people couldn't come people they prefer going outside there to shops do their own shopping oh okay I say it's okay so right now this one I'll have to close because I tried to look for an Algerian guy maybe home we can work together but no so I decided okay this one let me close it and focus on the loan thing okay yeah so a long thing we worked I was like an employee I was I was employed there we worked I continued working hard so that maybe I can figure out how I can move on because one thing with me is like I I'll get somewhere but I won't be with time I'll feel uncomfortable I need to move forward I need to grow so that's what happened to the loan thing because I felt like it has come through time so that I can grow so I decided okay right now what should I do here in Algeria are not allowed to work you see here in Nigeria what can I do I noticed I'm from Kenya I can work in that country that's my country why shouldn't take Focus over there so I decided to focus in countries like Kenya and in other countries whereby I can do learn things okay dealing with crypto I decided to influench myself and to to deal with more stuff dealing with money and currencies okay so if I might get you great started you started a bit from you know media you know trying to build a kind of media controller Merit and then you moved into the sort of a fashion fashion industry trying to you know buy clothes cheap and more expensive capitalizing on the community or capitalizing on on a group yeah a certain group of students so to say like you come to UI students and you stay in a location they find a lot of students roughly 500 to a thousand students at the time you know until capitalize on that market yeah you know trying to purchase cheap and sell higher to get some interest and then you are opportunity to to you know get in touch with big Capital also to see however it came it came to a friend who trusted you and trusted your capability to keep yeah right and then from that it helped you also find a bit of your other businesses and then it also gave you the Inspirations actually be a part of that business also you know using the Cardinal cash to solve some problems that students are experiencing here is I would um suppose it's like uh you know people people around the world experience on a daily basis people in Africa as friends by daily basis you know having capital and then wanting to send the capital to another part of the country maybe to friends and to families to transfer their money you know either using Banks or using however a form that they want to transfer anybody and then you you are able to use saw that loophole you saw that opportunity and then you thought of yourself playing a role so to say for Kenya and then for other parts of Africa can you elaborate a bit more on that okay so when I got into the loan I stayed there for some time like it's around one year yeah because I've been there it was so good so it reached to a moment where I felt like ah makuka you need to grow you need to move to other side and you know one of the things that I would like to share with people is like once you find the challenge or whatever whatever challenge you'll pass through or you it will come to you try to sit down and focus on that challenge because that challenge always comes with the opportunity that's what most of us we don't know most of us once we see a challenge we start we start having problems and like I don't know how can I explain what once we see a challenge we try to run our way instead of sitting down analyzing it while you're trying to find solution try to look at the positive and negative impacts of this so because this is the thing which always drives me when I see a challenge here it always drives me so I noticed like I've been there and uh because I was working with those guys for one thing I can hear like there's some problems in these countries there's a problem in this country there's a problem in this country because you know I'm living with students from different countries so they will be they will share stories so once I I noticed some of the countries they were having a challenges of getting cryptocurrency and here I can be able to get them and I decided okay let me move to this country okay so like Kenya I went I started selling buying and selling cryptocurrency I went to Russia I started buying and selling cryptocurrency I went like most of countries here in Africa and even if I have a client in any part of the car of Africa I can do that because um the information is out there for us you know the the information is out there for us it's for us to look for it everything is there it's provided I give an example of Congo and though I haven't reached there in about selling crypto commands I'll just figure out people in Congo maybe challenges maybe I'll just go to their Facebook groups and checking how they are dealing or maybe maybe there's a client first come to me and then you want to tell me okay maybe I want to get some crypto from Congo then I'll try to figure out I'm not getting it what should I do so I'll have to do my research I can confess with any or you contact any guy as long as it's from Congo can you do you know this who does this indication no it's very risky because you can meet scammers so through my research doing that and that it enabled me to grow so fast you see it's enabled me to meet a lot of people connections I I managed to how can I say even to increase my territory in business right now as we talk I can do it all over Africa yeah almost all over Africa against I can sell crypto I can buy crypto okay so let me get you straight you know mentioning the aspect of cryptocurrencies I mean if we're going to actually cryptocurrencies I'm sure most of us already understanding on this platform it's just a digital representation of cash if I need to see and then cryptocurrencies harness the power of blockchain Technology yes and then it makes you know the transaction or makes you know ownership of funds or ownership of finances easy you know it makes it much more tangible so to say it's your own digital assets so to say and then if you have a physical cash and you're looking for a simple simple way to own your cash and to seamlessly transfer your cash to any part of the world cryptocurrencies present that opportunity and then you've been able to create a network around um the use of cryptocurrencies around the transfer or the transactions with cryptocurrencies you know you've been able to create a network where you can convert physical cash into digital cash which is a really really wonderful aspect and I mean your growth from starting from looking at how you can survive to even starting to handle you know converting physical cash to digital cash it's like an amazing growth so far and I'm I'm really really happy to hear hear this and it makes a lot of sense so far I mean it's it speaks so much on your grids and speak so much on your efforts and you made mention of another thing you know you took time to research to get the right information because obviously the information is out there yeah and that's something I was able to learn over time like the information is there but the difficulties sitting down to find the information that you need to solve the problem you're actually facing right yeah and you said your goal was to find something that can keep you make you first you earn some money and then you can be able to survive yeah so do you think at this point you've been able to achieve your goal okay yeah I can probably say that I wanted to achieve my goal okay or being able to survive here in Algeria one of my goals that I didn't tell you you know when I was coming here uh I remember I told my mom you know I'm from a single parent and I told my mom like once I go to Algeria no matter how the country is but I'll make sure that I'll be sending you something you see I think you are arriving here in Algeria and then you are realizing that the opportunities they are limited to you so I I said I have to do something why am I so why did I bring these stories to tell you that both those two girls have achieved the script number one I can live by myself I became responsible whatever I want whatever I want to buy I can get it by myself within our field I manage that one and the second thing I manage even I whatever I give I promise I will be sending you something small I managed to do it so those are my two goals and I'm sure also how she's proud of me yeah and what I can add maybe to our viewers or students who are maybe here in Algeria for sure opportunities they're out there most of us we we don't turn Focus or we just limit ourselves with the environment where we reach because right now maybe you are here in Algeria the environment you you have just been receiving negative companies like everything is negative negative and you tend to focus on negative I'm telling you you will never grow you will never grow you'll be there you'll be there because your mind will be fair with those negative things and you'll never think Auto outside the code you'll be always planning your life will be full of complex but if you decided okay you decide to change your mindset and and say like okay they are negative but let's focus on the on the positive on the positive side and try to figure this positive side how can I maneuver always we are not supposed to be complaining all the time even for the good thing that you're getting smaller you should always how can you say be thankful because it opens ways because once you start thanking and appreciating even the environment will accept you and once the environment will accept you start seeing other things that other people can see where people will be seeing negative about the country single problems whatever complicated complaining all the time you can see an advantage and an opportunity you see because I think that that is the one thing which enabled me to survive let me give you an example why am I telling you this as people they are complaining like there's no job I can't be able to survive in Nigeria yes it's true there is no but try to figure out the small small percent which is there it can help you to survive because when I moved to the snack business okay people they will say like there's no job for us but I say okay within my circle there I have people these people they'll need this and this instead of them going out getting these nuts why don't I make them for them and they buy from me and I'll be able to survive maybe getting something small will push me so that's where I started you see and moving on also I've been able to expand through challenges okay I'm telling you if you you'll not be having challenges you want to expand because most of my territories that I managed to succeed I realized I had a challenge like uh maybe I was supposed to start a business like or maybe selling buying and selling cryptocurrency and maybe I couldn't meet with the connection of people I couldn't connect to people I couldn't get clients or getting money outside of that country it was difficult when I used to pass through this challenge I used to do more research I would look for information everywhere you see and another thing also just how can I say also trusting God is something which is very important if you're religious it's really helps because that's where you'll get motivation of moving because this life even in business and they will tell you it's not easy yeah today you'll be happy tomorrow things might be worse so you need someone to motivate you and encourage you and most of them ask like someone religious like me and whom and focusing more yeah I only got to go and tell Daddy help me God help me do this how can I move out of how can I move out of this stuff yeah how can I be able to continue with this journey so he's the one who always motivates me and keeps me on growing and growing so yeah that's the that's the other thing which I wanted to add but my greatest advice like once you find that challenge that that challenge will give out the opportunity hit on that challenge that's actually Grace you in the aspect of research that Google mentioned um that's why we here at old block I'll go basically and package with information so that research becomes easier actually from people from this part of the world you know let's take for example the challenges that are faced by students here in Ocho you know for like someone like your caliber you understand when you came from thinking about how can you actually survive the country where you are not authorization work or to raise money for yourself to do that to send even achieve two very important goals be yourself Reliant and then you know be able to sort out needs the needs of your family material your mother which is a really really good one and that's that information or motivation that is very important for people around that's what let's go we actually try to achieve here get all this information benefits simplify the the process it takes to actually do the research you know if you are trying to research about this as information you know the right person to go to go there to get the information and good it's just about the action now because I think that's one thing that that separates you know some people actually have the information yeah it's the discipline to go through the action or follow through with the action it's what keeps on in the same spot for years it's true I can talk about it because I felt like I noticed like most of us sound okay let me not say most of us some of us are ignorant because like how can I say their opportunities like right now let me tell you like everything is there for us most of the things are there for us they're all they're always there ready but maybe you might find them how can I see you might be given information and you just ignore you might be told a friend can share with you and you just ignore maybe some of them they do this because they'll say okay I don't have to inform myself to things which I don't know or maybe I'm avoiding maybe in getting scammed or I'm avoiding to meet people who I don't want oh maybe I'm avoiding to get into troubles but for sure even you see the things which you're using Facebook YouTube Google every you the information is already there it's you just to move on and do your research well follow step by step and I'm telling your manager at the end you'll succeed as long as you have the passion and you feel like doing it I'm sure once you believe in yourself and start working on it you'll manage yeah that's what I can say like everything is there it's mostly it's talk they you say like we don't act on it most of us it's I think it's the act of ignorance or ignoring things or maybe we are comfortable yeah that's that's another thing I mean most most times it's being comfortable I don't see we are faced with people who are faced with close to the edge like when you are being comfortable so long and then things that make you comfortable just out of things disappear you at that point you you try to start reprocessing reprogramming and trying to find new ways to solve the same problem that's been there for years you know these are also also something to consider but one thing I might ask you as a student looking forward looking forward into the near future yeah and the role technology plays in Africa you know how would you how would you perceive or how would you want students to understand the role of Technology please okay one of the things that I would like children to understand like technology is one of the things that is driving us to our future and uh everything right now we are focusing on adding technology we are done with those days where I used to deal with manual things how can I say and physical yeah physical model physical right now we are moving into technology which means like it's like obligation for all of us it's not adapting and learning more about technology and let me tell you if the information is there for you to get into more or to understand more about technology why don't you take it because the advantage of this technology it's helping yourself it's making things easy fast reliable it's like it's an advantage to you and this is what is happening even I can see it Africa we are moving into into it already on the process because as you can see like um things when we talk about if I talk about the domain where I deal with the money crypto thing you can see how they have moved like when you talk about the blockchain maybe you'll understand when you talk about uh transfer of crypto what and what these things how they are being facilitated to be so easy and so fast you can see that's that's all it's innovation of technology and when you move about even development of like new buildings or towards like in every domain even in agriculture how we are connecting people from ifsaic someone must need this type of Club how you can be able to get it easy and within how can I say this the the time the same type yeah so you see it becomes so easy once you're located you're looking for this product it comes so easy when you talk about the things like for Alibaba where you want to buy something from abroad and you just get it so easily connected even to the wholesaler directly when you want I don't know even when you move into robotics whereby they have started even construction of buildings and whatever even like they're taking how it's bad to talk about uh human labor they're taking the position of Himalaya but also they are helping I mean obviously they are helping in a huge amount so it simply means the the knowledge Spectrum like things humans as human beings should start learning as a skill set or as a practical application in terms of knowledge should change as things evolve the the labor market so to say is gradually evolving yeah these skill sets that are necessary are required for humans is also evolving so I think our responsibility even if we we are in schools we have a certain course that are fighting to get the certifications for there's still some certain information we need to to put in ourselves in terms of knowledge practical knowledge because these are the things at the end of the day help us when this technology comes into full friction you want to be lost you won't be ignorant so you see even after going to school you still end up being ignorant about some certain things on how to use some certain things because it's out of one's ignorance that you know businesses that's actually function function you know because you don't know you're not available different places outside even on the little spectrums of you know the financial economy in fact the whole digital economy is really it applies even as a student you know think of think of a future where you know students starts having their certifications in nfcs part of it but I haven't gone deep about it yet but we still you know still two things that are on the blockchain story yeah the importance of the blockchain right is a proof of uh [Music] and I'm thinking of um certifications Why Should students not think of having their certifications in nfcs it simply means the schools will provide those certifications in nfts your your certifications can't be forged like if I'm going to certify that this student came to my Academy and he is proficient in a certain skill set or a certain knowledge base and then my certification comes as an nft which is living in the blockchain because anybody who is going to work in any organization you can obviously verify the information on the blockchain yeah and verify if truly you graduated from there and then it's certified there's no way one can really Forge that information because that's actually one problem the job markets [Music] how long ago [Music] since 2012 yeah even I'm sure Kenyan people have really missed me that's been like two years or three years haven't been to that country there are more into that country because all everything which is going on I'm seeing it online because these phones you are being able to access everything everything yeah I can understand everything which is happening on the ground through the technology this Smartphone they're really working yeah I'll meet people there they'll be spreading information like that so I'm fat but I'm close yeah that's great so you're asking about Kenya yeah in a general sense how would you how would you talk about Kenya to our audience okay I think Kenya is one of the beautiful countries and uh also I like the Kenyan mindset whereby these guys there are people who they work smart and the people who are always there for something they're people who you'll find they're doing well in studies they're doing well you know how can I say in hustling or finding opportunities and maximizing and working on things and uh like they are they have touched each and every time they will find them these people were because they reached somewhere they'll have to they won't be depending on people but they will you that person will lose himself to make sure that everything is well according to what he wants that's what I can say because if you go to Kenya you'll notice like those guys are really working they are maximizing each and every opportunities and that's why you'll find if you have noticed even here against these people's people don't say hard working kenyas they will find them yes they're doing this and this is yeah yeah it's because we are used to the system but to make control you find us we have to find opportunity and maximize and work on it and that's why I think it's making even Kenya grow and becoming one of the not just the community yeah in Africa because those guys they're really doing something black and white you know you know the old block is the label I educate my mind so I could educate my people I'm staking all the heat is from the training life [Music]
