Social Media and Business

It is amazing the role Social Media plays in business growth. During the Re-housing project in Cebu, fellows were introduced to Dekeyser and Friends Media World - developing diaries, photos and videos for the outside world to see. At the beginning, i did not really understand the need for it. But at a stage in the project, I started appreciating the role Social media plays in our daily activities.
 
On Tuesday April 29th 2011, I was at the Enterprise Development Centre of Pan African University in Lagos Nigeria to share my experience in the use of Social Media. The students are managers of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. The coordinator had to ask the students to leave because they did not want to go home.
 
I must say a very big 'THANK YOU' to Dekeyser and Friends Foundation for offering me the opportunity to be a blessing to myself and other people. INSPIRATION is the word! And this is a clarion call to every young person out there – Follow Your Dreams!!!
