African Trade… Trade is either, local, intra or inter. To achieve maximum economic prosperity using trade, requires a balance between the three kinds of trade. However in #Africa we have depended so much on International trade. Though what we sell is primarily raw materials to other continents….a narrative that is changing with technological disruptions Generally, less attention has been given to Intra-African trade. Until recently the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement was signed with operations starting this year January. The reason for #AfCFTA is to Accelerate intra-African trade and boosting Africa’s trading position in the global market by strengthening Africa’s common voice and policy space in global trade negotiations. Question is what are African countries doing to support this free #trade agreement? In #Nigeria, there is so much we can offer to the rest of Africa and in extension the entire world … For instance, there is a market in Eastern Nigeria called #Ariaria International Market. Notable for local productions of African fabrics, shoes, bags, wears etc With a capacity to supply to the entire African Continent with the right support. At Youth Up we are beginning to collaborate with these Craftsmen to facilitate partnership deals with interested parties both in Africa and international to open a trade deal to allow for exportation of these products. Made in #Aba is not substandard, it’s about the specification you request. Our people produce by even American Spec.

My journey on LinkedIn As at 2018 I had less than 5000 followers I didn’t understand Jack about LinkedIn. I came to #jobhunt like many who joined at first. I have left my regular corporate work, and was seriously in need of a job. Some established and professional users then like Sohaib told me I was using the platform wrongly. Everyday I will post that I am looking for a job, applied to several openings. Even repeated applications 🙂 After different sessions with Sohaib, the true potentials of LinkedIn started unfolding. That’s the birth of the #3Cs of Social Networking which I later wrote as an e-book. As Youth Up launches its global outreach.  Across the globe we are identifying with young people and #brands who are to join us in #July to mark this historical event. It comes with a youth conference, business bootcamp and more. We will unveil the Youthup #Magazine,…An inspiring story-backed magazine telling the stories of successes and struggles of young people. Happy to announce we have the support of the #UAE govt to be our host.
