BEEKEYS MOVES TO IMPROVE ONLINE VISIBILITY FOR BUSINESSES

Managing contact information for businesses and organisations in today’s highly connected world can be quite fragmented. While business owners and managers understand the need to always have well-coordinated presence and visibility, the quest gets complicated by all the information available out there. To accurately connect with businesses and services calls for extensive disambiguation both for the businesses and their customers. An indigenous IT firm, DigitalRig has unveiled a seamless Business Directory platform called Beekeys.

Online directories and information portals provide listing services and tools to create connections between businesses and customers but things still get difficult due to other challenges including ‘volatile’ street naming systems, non-availability of ‘functional’ ZIP or Postcode systems, relocating/expanding business presence and many other issues. Bridging this gap, Beekeys (business keys), is a platform built to address these different challenges and more for businesses and their customers.
Business visibility has totally departed from the conventional putting signages in the premises or online websites and banner placement.

The new Beekeys business directory brings all conventional branding to one platform and simplifying it with just three alphabets making customers and clients to locate businesses easily online. This is by integrating webpages, zip codes and branch networks with top notch search engine optimisation (SEO). This platform becomes an indispensable tool for business owners and founders today due to the growing numbers of Nigerian internet users placed around tens of millions and added with the high level of mobile internet usage and adoption in the country.

Speaking on the importance of Beekeys, Dipe Adedeji, the Chief Executive of DigitalRig Limited opined that” the Beekeys is a platform that allows firms to be visible using simple and unique names that their customers would easily remember such as three letter words or acronyms. We realised during our research that many Nigerians don’t know either their zip codes or post codes, with Beekeys, the platforms allow people to remember a simplified name that is uniquely allotted to a company. With a click the whole information about the organisation is up.”

“With Beekeys’ address and mapping system, the change of address by many organisations would be sorted out. This is unlike the usual solutions that they find it hard to implement this on their various websites. The platform addresses these challenges.”, he added.

The platform has a great landing page that is mobile and user friendly. This feature enables those that one to register on the go use their mobile sites in simple and precise steps. Integrating critical things like Corporate Affairs Commission’s business number, which are verified by Beekeys. This singular feature sets the platform aside from tons of listing sites. Integrating video and pictures, an organisation can register as much as many branches using one singular account. No post code, no problem, with this platform, you do not need to remember post codes of all the branches, all an organisation just has to do is follow the easy steps for business registration and upload.
The company announced that business registration on the Beekeys platform is free especially for business headquarters unless that there are multiple locations that would make the business pay annually for a token fee of about hundred Naira for a location.

The Shift in Entertainment: DStv and Cable TV Facing Extinction in Nigeria

post-image

In a rapidly evolving entertainment landscape, traditional cable television providers like DStv are facing existential threats as consumers embrace new technologies and streaming services. With over 200 million people, the Nigerian market has been a significant stronghold for DStv, but recent trends suggest a looming decline in its dominance.

One of the biggest indicators of this shift is the reluctance of consumers to invest in outdated technologies. The decision to increase the cost of DStv decoders has been met with criticism, as many argue that such devices should be more accessible or even provided for free in order to remain competitive. This sentiment echoes the downfall of once-dominant companies like RIM (Blackberry) and Nokia, who failed to adapt to market forces and technological advancements.

The advent of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime has fundamentally changed how people consume media. Rather than recharging DStv subscriptions for…

GOD BLESS OKPOGHO PEOPLE IN EZEAGU LGA OF ENUGU STATE – THE RED GOLD OF AFRICA!!!!!!

By: Ikenna Ezeakor

Okpogho in Ezeagu LGA, Enugu State is an ancient city of Igbo land and an iron-smelting community in Ezeagu LGA that gave West Africa the first metallic currency known as Okpogho Manila.

The innovation of this ancient metallic currency: “Ego Igwe/Ego-Onah” was attributed to a great “Wawa man” from the present Ezeagu Igbudu LGA.

The word “Okpogho” which is the Efik fishermen’s term for money or brass was given to this wawa iron maker; when one of the the fishermen noticed that those precious bangles which he fashioned for his daughter “Mgbolie” could be used as a means of exchange of goods and services.

The early Portuguese explorers of the 1470s observed that Copper Bangles “Okpogho Manila” were the principle money and means of exchange all along…

By Sampson Ikemitang

Water is indispensable to life, holding a unique significance among natural resources. While survival might be possible without others, it’s inconceivable without water. Managing water resources involves considerations of quantity, quality, and future variability, vital for societal sustenance and economic development.

Nigeria’s industries are acknowledging the nation’s water scarcity, prompting cultural and technological shifts towards water-wise practices. Therefore, the application and granting of water use licenses are crucial steps towards fostering more sustainable water usage.

To address this, the Federal Executive Council established the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC) in May 2007. The Commission plays a pivotal role in regulating, protecting, and conserving water resources to ensure equitable socio-economic development and environmental integrity.

Operating under the delegated power of the Minister of Water Resources, the…

Fintechs should develop products that address the exact needs of their customers (By Mike Cook)

post-image

All around the world businesses are pulling out the stops to achieve growth in what can best be described as challenging economic conditions. Africa is no exception. The continent has long been recognised for its immense potential, and as such businesses across sectors are investing heavily into the continent. Advancements in technology make serving the unbanked and underserved populations in Africa more viable than ever before. However, that does not mean growth comes easily. It is a hyper competitive and complex environment where genuinely understanding your customer is key to growth.

Even with this textbook understanding, there is a strong urge to take the “build it and they will come” approach because we can get caught up in our own technology and view problems from our frame of reference while ignoring the customer. This is typified in the African market where we see multiple shiny apps being dropped across markets…
