Our First Book Reading & Activity Session - Edition 1

It's been a while!

Yesterday, we held our first book reading and activity session for kids. It was half-term for many of the kids in the UK and a great opportunity to get them off their gadgets for a one-hour productive session.

We read the stories of 2 Nigerian entrepreneurs - Linda Ikeji and Bayo Omoboriowo whose hobbies turned into businesses and brought them fortune. The former being one of the highest paid bloggers in Nigeria and the latter, the first personal photographer to the Federal republic of Nigeria and the State house. 





It was a read-along session with about 30 kids in attendance. Some keys lessons were learned such as:

  • Mind your hobbies, they could become a source of income
  • A man who is diligent in his business would definitely stand before kings and people of importance.
  • Hard work indeed pays off.
  • Determination, discipline and dedication are key to success 
  • Follow your passion because profit follows passion 








Some new words were also learnt such as:

  • Blogging - Blogging is the art of writing about one’s experiences, observations, or opinions.
  • Business - someone’s work which could be an activity of buying and selling goods or services.
  • Networking - the action or process of interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.
  • Niche - a place or position that is particularly appropriate for someone or something, especially due to being very specific and different from others.
  • Exhibition - a public display of works such as art or items of interest usually held in an art gallery, museum or at a trade fair.

Looking forward to our next session in August!

  " As  skills  and  energy became more  of  a  demand,  people  who  didn't have skills just  got  left  behind,  got  shuttled  to  the  side.  Education  didn't keep  up  with their  promise. Education  didn't  prepare  them  for  this  new  world"  - JULIAN BOND I got a call from someone the other day asking, ‘What exactly is the Kidpreneur Klub’? My immediate inner response was ‘What???... With all these blogs??? 😃😃😃 Today, I thought to break it down a little bit more and buttress with a Kidpreneur’s story... The Kidpreneur Klub is all about raising a community of kid-entrepreneurs. We help kids develop  future-ready skills  in a fun and engaging way through our project-based  entrepreneurship   programmes.   Based on research, there has recently been a heavy focus on improving technical skills such as computer programming and data science while the development of soft skills has taken a back seat.  Entrepreneurial education however offers much
