These men have built an app to promote hairdressers, make-up artists, others vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
He is also a co-founder comprising two others – Steve Asemota and Tshela Boyo who are based in Canada.
You know necessity they say gives birth to invention. The idea of the app came about when one day, I was searching for a barber to make my hair. My regular barber was not reachable then and I have to drive around my estate to search for an alternative barber to do so. While moving around on the road, something came to my mind like ‘why can’t I sit in my house and get a good barber, why do I have to waster man hour searching for a service when I have my phone and gadgets to make contact.
Funny enough, like they say, the idea you are thinking about, one and a billion people are already thinking about it before you. We might look at them as common artisans; we engage them in a job, pay them, say a thousand naira for such services. We may not know that such amount goes a long way and means a lot to the country’s economy because while you pay for that service at one spot, millions of people are also paying such amount at different spot in the country simultaneously. No one is taking the data of such services which is handier than an organized service in the corporate world.
Yes, for us it is all about gathering data. We are building data with a secured network that cannot be destroyed and can also be a referral for such purposes in the next 30 years from now, for both public and private. For now, we are just starting and putting the data together. We are also working with vocational schools, private and government agencies that have these artisans in their fold. Those data are placed in a secured server for use.
Besides, we do a special ethical training, safety and customer relations training including environmental management and financial training and others for the artisans before we set them out to work. Our coverage areas for now are within Lagos cities. We intend to cover the entire Lagos state after which we move to Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Owerri, Benin and other parts of Nigeria cities.
