We are a non-bank financial investment and wealth creation cooperative business society of youth and women entrepreneurs, as well as financial investors, whose collective objective is to provide a cooperative business networking and investment platform where members who are either entrepreneurs or financial investors will be able to connect, partner and do business together for the mutual benefit of income generation and wealth building.

Our Mission
Our mission is to tackle unemployment and eradicate household poverty in Nigeria by empowering youths and women to become successful entrepreneurs who are income builders and creators of wealth, specifically in the key business sectors of agriculture, food and beverage, technology and entertainment. We give both youth and women entrepreneurs the opportunity to pursue and achieve their life goals thereby enabling them to live their dreams of a good and fulfilled life.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a Nigerian society where youths and women will have the opportunity to thrive as successful entrepreneurs and business owners (MSMEs), employers, income earners, economic self-emancipators, wealth builders, change agents and the social and economic catalysts for family economic well-being, household poverty eradication and national economic development.
Join Us
Register and become a member of this joint economic self-emancipation, financial investment and wealth creation entrepreneurship movement. Let us work together to mitigate unemployment, nurture dreams, build futures, transform lives, build income streams, create wealth and eradicate household poverty. We can create the Nigeria we desire for all.
Background
It is a known fact that tens of millions of Nigerian youths are unemployed, poverty-stricken and helplessly frustrated without hope for a better tomorrow. They are angry with Nigeria and this unfortunate reality places the country’s future in great danger beyond its current security challenges. Where youths are denied the opportunity to actively participate in the economy, crime becomes their best alternative. The country’s rising youth unemployment is a ticking time bomb whose looming explosion will doubtless come with more damaging consequences than could ever imagine. If nothing is done to reverse Nigeria’s trend of high youth unemployment, millions of angry unemployed youths will sooner than later translate their frustration into a full-blown anti-government rebellion and indeed a social revolution. Let us not forget that the “EndSARS Protest” was a narrow escape from a social revolution.
