“You Have No Business with Poverty” says Mr. Nasir.

Yet again, the editorial board of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, University of Ilorin chapter, embarked on a one-day writing workshop to train, groom, and build the students populace through entrepreneurial talks, as well as to bring to their consciousness the social trends that breed revenue in this modern day of job scarcity. This well-attended workshop saw the light of day on Saturday 20th of May at Lecture Theatre I.

This year's edition of the annual workshop honours an alumni of the University of Ilorin, a scholar and a best graduating student of his time, a barrister and a one-time editor in chief of the Union of Campus Journalists. This is Abdullah Muhammad Tosin, a celebrated writer and blogger who now writes for the world top magazines — Forbes Entrepreneurs, USA Today, etc.

Because of this enviable feat attained by a student, the workshop themed “Your Selling Right”, puts participants through edifying speeches and crude counsels from CEOs and established entrepreneurs of our contemporary. The like of Dr. Nasir Abdulqadir (CEO the Positive Image Consult), Mr. Wale Bakare (Digital Marketer), and Mr. Luqman Fasasi (millionaire blogger) were the facilitators of the day.

Speaking to participants during the first session of the workshop, Dr. Nasir asserted that, money is not success but one of the rewards of success.

According to him, the example of successful but poor individuals that lived are some of the holy prophets of God. From London to America to Nigeria...their gospel reached the world while they were long gone, while they were not rich individuals. And if indeed money is the reward of success, then the yahoo boys would have been termed the most successful set on earth.

Being an entrepreneur and a CEO, he urged participants to have the mindset of providing solutions, because that is one of the defining qualities of entrepreneurs.

In his words, “Entrepreneurs don't live a flamboyant lifestyle. In fact, Dangote moved into his personal house in 2011. Bill gate moved to his in 1994.

“Entrepreneurs are not concerned about security. Go to prison if you want Maximum Security! Security is, if you're eating eba today and you're concerned about how to get another eba to eat tomorrow. But the entrepreneur thinks of how he could feed millions of people with the eba he eats.

“Be concerned about emptying your self into the world.”

During the second session of the workshop, Mr. Lukman Fasasi and Mr. Wale Bakare unveiled to participants the essence of having an online presence through a website.

According to them, having an online presence helps you to share information, create a brand for your product, make lawful earnings through various means such as affiliate marketing, Google ads, buying and selling, etc.

They urge participants that it is best for them to start searching for something to do now and not after graduating from the university. Citing himself as an example, Mr. Luqman said “I've graduated from OAU but I don't know if I'd collect my certificate.”
