Saving Lives in 0-48 hours
Never has saving
lives been so mind blowing. Forty eight hours, zero naira and loads of heart ‘n
brains may have just created the most mind blowing episode of The Next Titan
Reality TV show.
For those who do
not know about the show here is a brief rundown. For the first
time, Nigerian television is centered on young business people and how they go
through the challenges of entrepreneurship and business. Each week, the contestants are split into 2 teams and given a task
at the end of which the judges grade them by certain criteria. In the first
week, the teams were given N40,000 to create a product or service and bring a turnover in 48 hours. The
contestants were split into men (Edge Corp.) against the ladies (Sapphire
Group), with the men trumping the ladies by turning over N240,000 from the
N40,000. Believe you me, it was all legit! Sapphire Group did get a win the
next week, with their presentation on Hairven (a hair extensions care product)
edging out Strake Roads (a road traffic information service company) from the
Edge Corp.
The 3rd
task is a Community Service Project.
The teams were randomly picked by the Project Managers. After their research,
Edge Corp. agreed to work on kidney ailments (save-a-life), health/sanitary
issues, and touch a child initiative. With the short time frame for the task in
mind, they played a lot on partnerships to cut through a lot of bureaucracy.
They immediately partnered with a Foundation, (who donated lifesaving
post-surgery drugs worth the sum N4 million), and they also partnered with St.
Nicholas Hospital to distribute these drugs to patients who cannot afford them.
They did a whole
lot more including clean out a toilet…
…and that is
just one team of seven individuals!
The other team-
Sapphire Group- decided to focus their program on the Ikota Resettlement
Community and within 48 hours, achieved an impact that local and international
organizations have not been able to. They drilled a Borehole providing clean
water for the community that has had no access to clean water for 23years and
also put up a Medical center with every basic drugs and appliances. An amazing
feet attained in just 48hours.
Key Takeaways
From Sapphire Group: The
little things we take for granted in life do make a huge difference in the
lives of those who do not have. Potable water and a pain reliving drug can do
wonders- ask the kids in Ikota resettlement!
From Edge Corp: The
diagnosis to prevent kidney ailments is extremely affordable and timely. A
simple urinalysis and blood pressure checkup can save your life. Each year,
there are 15,000+ new cases of kidney failure in Nigeria. You can also donate a
kidney because you can live healthily on one kidney. You can save your life
with a simple checkup for less than N1,000.
