The quest for problem solving is the singular most potent reason Linus Williams Ifejika, made a grand entry into the Blockchain market not long ago. Ifejika who is the executive chairman of Blord Group, a Bitcoin trading company with diversified interest in stores and real estate, stated this recently.

Ifejika also known as Blord further noted that the inability of freelance digital service providers in Nigeria to cope with emerging global challenges coupled with the continuous devaluation of the Naira, compelled him to venture into the world of Blockchain marketing.

Today, the market is witnessing influx of new participants, who are investing to make the most of the opportunities that abound therein.

Thus far, Blord has raked in a whopping sum of $1.9 million in profits with his fame spreading like wild fire in major cities in Nigeria including the nation’s capital, Abuja, Lagos among others.

Profit of that margin doesn’t come easily even in the oil and gas industry that has made Nigeria a mono-product economy in the past few decades. Isn’t there something positive to explore from the Blockchain market after all, rather than trying to stifle it?

The success story of Blord is a testament to the infinite possibility of an astute businessman who says success is possible regardless of the health of the economy.

However, Blord’s success didn’t happen by chance. His strategy is rooted on the triangular planks of competence, knowledge and integrity. With the three, he goes about his job, teaching and mentoring others along the way, thereby, putting food on the tables of scores of families across the nation.

As it stands, the story of crypto currency transaction in Nigeria won’t be complete without a mention of Blord, a man who saw the light at a time many dismissed the sub-sector as incapable of thriving in the land.

Expectedly, millions of Nigerians are eager to hear him speak on Bitcoin, crypto currency today and related products, given the successes of his ventures so far.

It is time to harness the potentials inherent in virtual markets globally and rather than leave all the work in the hands of private entrepreneurs like Blord, government can come in and provide supporting funds to help stem the rising unemployment in the country.

Currently standing at 33.3 per cent, no one needs a soothsayer to predict the gloomy future that awaits Africa’s most populous country if jobs are not created to take minds of the youths off crime.

This is the challenge facing the six years-old government of President Muhammadu Buhari in its pledged commitment to take 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.

We should be worried as a people of the sheer number of youths now involved in banditry, armed robbery and similar vices. It will get worse if we don’t muster the will to take would-be-criminals off the streets.
