Entrepreneurship; A Web of Lies, Myths and Opportunities | Yahaya Buhari Ali | TEDxBayeroUniversity

The emergence of social media has made every single façade of life competitive. It has produced a line of new careers that would’ve been unimaginable a few decades ago.

A growing number of entrepreneurial youth are keen to set up startups and become CEOs. A quick fact-check, however, will show that establishing fledgling businesses is not all glamour and rags to riches stories.

Indeed there is an abundance of opportunities to tap into the startup’s ecosystem but a critical survey is crucial in distinguishing fact from fiction, in avoiding common missteps, and in harnessing a unique startup that will bolster appeal. Yahaya Buhari Ali is an entrepreneur, business development consultant, and digital marketing expert. He is the founder/CVO YBI group, Chairman YBI group foundation.

Yahaya is an indigene of Kebbi state, Gwandu LGA to be precise, but he was born and raised in Kaduna state.
