[00:08:44] Before the roads, before the
[00:08:47] cities, there was river,
[00:08:51] river that carried kingdoms, stories
[00:08:55] and generations of people,
[00:08:58] its waters witnessed prosperity, its
[00:09:02] cars shaped destinies and its
[00:09:06] spirit still flows today from fish
[00:09:10] and festivals to rivers. games
[00:09:14] from culture and
[00:09:17] cusin to art,
[00:09:21] history and living
[00:09:22] traditions, the river calls
[00:09:26] us home,
[00:09:30] because the river
[00:09:32] knows we are
[00:09:35] one,
[00:09:39] water,
[00:09:39] don't get anything.
[00:09:54] welcome back to watching business morning here on channel's television and we're staying
[00:09:58] on um well entrepreneurship building entrepreneurs in the
[00:10:01] country, an individual has also been um
[00:10:05] working in this space and we've heard stories of how she tries
[00:10:09] empower individuals and youths when it comes to...
[00:10:12] entrepreneurship and she has introduced to us a word
[00:10:16] called problem preneur, i don't
[00:10:19] discuss that now, and that's Dr. Princess again, she's the
[00:10:23] founder and group chief executive. officer of
[00:10:26] GMYT Group Limited um uh Dr.
[00:10:30] Gen this problem preneur word please
[00:10:34] help us to pronounce it and help us to understand
[00:10:37] it. Good morning, good morning
[00:10:41] everyone. So yeah, I mean you pronounced it right to the problem
[00:10:44] preneur instead of entrepreneurship, so the
[00:10:48] problempreneur, that's
[00:10:50] it. Okay, so what's it about and what are we supposed who is supposed to be a
[00:10:54] problem? Yeah, um, everyone,
[00:10:58] actually, you know, so it's time for us
[00:11:01] to stop accing what
[00:11:05] business where to start next, or what business
[00:11:08] should we venture into, or, you know, we should just should
[00:11:12] start thinking about what problems we should solve
[00:11:16] in the society,
[00:11:17] you know, and so for me, I'm looking at my
[00:11:21] journey, I'm just thinking, this has always been a part.
[00:11:25] that
[00:11:25] you know have always choosen, so all the
[00:11:29] businesses that I have today is solving, identifying a problem
[00:11:33] and then solving one problem a
[00:11:36] time right, that is been driving
[00:11:39] solutions for the society, and that is why we have the
[00:11:43] business we have today, so looking at that, the several businesses
[00:11:47] I have, I decided okay so what name will I call this, because this is not just
[00:11:50] entrepreneurship, this is really solving problems, so and I think that was
[00:11:54] what better the idea, the problem pr, so everybody should, if you're a
[00:11:58] student, if you're a genitor,
[00:12:00] you just do your job well, look at the problems that the organization you know is
[00:12:04] facing or
[00:12:04] whatever place of work you are
[00:12:07] or you know whatever you are doing,
[00:12:09] just instead of complaining you
[00:12:10] know that um we're not we're not getting it
[00:12:14] easier, we're not having it easy in the society, we should just look at how to solve
[00:12:18] problems, so that's that's what the problem pr is about, all right, so
[00:12:22] please um, i know lot of people are watching this program
[00:12:25] now and uh you have uh, you, I mean, you interact with a whole lot
[00:12:29] of people, so assuming you're talking to a youth for
[00:12:33] instance now, and you're telling the youth this that you have
[00:12:36] said, what are those specific areas that you think a youth
[00:12:40] can possibly dive into -
[00:12:44] realistically, when you look at the Nigerian operating environment, you look
[00:12:47] at the issue of technology, you look at the issue of
[00:12:50] funding, what area do you think a youth can just say, oh
[00:12:55] okay, i don't want to complain anymore, i don't want to wait for jobs
[00:12:58] anymore, i want to be a problem preneur, what
[00:13:02] area do you think and how do you think that you can actually start
[00:13:06] out? the lots, mean it's
[00:13:09] unlimited, we are in the digital age now, so AI
[00:13:13] is actually one tool that the youth can use instead of just
[00:13:17] you know being on social media for for fun,
[00:13:21] they can actually use that to probably help some business owners.
[00:13:25] um tell their stories, reposition,
[00:13:27] you know, um, their businesses, put their businesses in the in the
[00:13:31] spotlight, you use India, of course the tools, the social media
[00:13:34] tools and also, I mean a lot of problems that they can also
[00:13:38] help solve, like um, you know, again telling the
[00:13:42] stories, so imagine if I have a content
[00:13:46] creator in my organization, that that's that's solving problem for me, because
[00:13:50] I wouldn't have to worry about you know um people getting to know what
[00:13:54] I do, so yes, they should instead of just staying in your house
[00:13:57] or just playing on social media, reach out to companies and then say, oh, i can
[00:14:01] tell your stories right, i can help you position your product or your services
[00:14:05] and before you know it, mean if you're solving my problem i will pay for the
[00:14:09] service, so that mean there's a lot, that's just one, but there's actually
[00:14:12] lot, skill, you know, learning skill, so trading
[00:14:16] talent, um, so if you for instance we have the fashion
[00:14:19] academy, so if you can of course instead of just
[00:14:23] complaining decide that you want come be faculty
[00:14:26] after
[00:14:27] you know learning the fashion um education then yes it means
[00:14:31] that you're helping solve a problem and then you be paid of course for your service as well
[00:14:35] there's actually so much to do yeah so I guess it's all about creating
[00:14:39] value are looking for that nee and creating value and then
[00:14:42] um
[00:14:43] you can you get paid for it obviously get paid for yeah
[00:14:47] instead of also coming to work and just you know being idle but ensuring
[00:14:51] that in your workplace you're constantly looking for the challenges that you're gna
[00:14:55] organization is facing and putting your strength
[00:14:59] forward to say, i can help solve this problem, you know, i
[00:15:03] think that would also help you not just get promotion but also get even more
[00:15:06] income, so there's there's like lot of opportunities, i
[00:15:10] see opportunities and challenges right, embrace challenges
[00:15:14] actually, because mean if we in our comfort zone you see
[00:15:17] that we won't we won't make money, we won't even
[00:15:20] grow right, but when we're constantly looking
[00:15:25] for growth was constantly looking for opportunities and
[00:15:28] especially the um the ability to identify
[00:15:32] problems and then create solution, solution that is
[00:15:36] deserving of you, people puting their hand in their pocket to say okay, i want to
[00:15:39] pay for this solution,
[00:15:41] then i mean you see that our society will become a better
[00:15:45] place. all right, dr. princess, thank you so much for those
[00:15:48] tips, i would challenge myself, i would do more in my
[00:15:51] organization, not just for promotion, founder and group
[00:15:55] chief executive officer of GMyt group limited, thank you for your
[00:15:58] time, yeah, thank you, all
[00:16:02] right, we'll go for just a short commercial break and then we'll go
[00:16:05] global
[00:16:58] the global econ the UK economy is showing first signs
[00:17:02] of resilience, activity in the country's dominant services
[00:17:06] sectors accelerated to the month high um easing
[00:17:09] concerns over slowing growth and boosting confidence and the
[00:17:13] economic outlook. let's unpack this now and other matters. join me now
[00:17:17] is Simon Pusy, our london correspondent. great to have you, Simon, good
[00:17:21] morning.
[00:17:25] all right, so um, Simon, we see the UK services sector has rebounded to
[00:17:29] a three-month high. is this the beginning of a broader economic um
[00:17:33] recovery or just a temporary improvement?
[00:17:40] Okay, I see a mount moving, I think you have to
[00:17:42] unmute.
[00:17:48] Okay, all right, Simon, you have to unmute, I see your mouth
[00:17:52] moving, but we'll try that again, but definitely let's look at the data
[00:17:55] now, um, showing you the resilience there in the UK
[00:17:59] economy, see uh services PMI that came in at
[00:18:02] 52.1, points, previous was
[00:18:05] 48.8, that was in... traction zone uh the flash
[00:18:09] estimate was at 51.8 and we see anything above the 50 point
[00:18:13] level that's um you know signaling you know
[00:18:16] expansion um right there let's try and get simon now
[00:18:19] all right simon can you hear me now yes sorry about that you introduce me
[00:18:23] there is your London correspondent um I'm actually here in Ulayapol which is
[00:18:27] a fishing port village there inveness and it's quite fitting
[00:18:31] as this village um is one of many that are part the UK services
[00:18:34] sector that's restaurants hotels and um and that's
[00:18:38] fitting because as you said the services purchasing purchasing managers index or the
[00:18:42] PMI which is a survey that manages business activity
[00:18:46] measures business activity in the UK services sector um well
[00:18:49] that's gone up very very strongly it
[00:18:52] was it's positive news really for the prime minister um and a
[00:18:56] stronger services sector can have wide ranging effects um it can help
[00:19:00] economic growth since services dominate the UK economy it's around
[00:19:03] 80% the UK economy that means a stronger activity
[00:19:07] raising the likelihood of positive GDP, um, employment, businesses experiencing
[00:19:11] higher demand and interest rates, if growth strengthens, while
[00:19:15] interest rates continue to ease, the Bank of England may have more
[00:19:18] flexibility in its future rate decisions, so is this enough to say that the
[00:19:22] UK economy is booming, not necessarily, but
[00:19:25] it is some good news for um, like I said the prime minister, the new prime
[00:19:28] minister, even though it's really the last prime minister and his chancelor who
[00:19:32] is responsible for it. All right, it looks like the data is aligning
[00:19:36] well, for him, but let's... switched to currency now
[00:19:39] we see the sterling that strengthed against the um Japanese um
[00:19:42] yen you know following the latest data, what is this tell us about
[00:19:46] you know investors sentiments towards the UK economy and the Bank of
[00:19:50] England's policy outlook? yeah, well it's a combination of
[00:19:54] factors here, as we just heard PMI figures were better than
[00:19:57] expected, when economic data beats expectations, traders often
[00:20:01] become more willing to buy a country's currency because the economy may grow faster
[00:20:05] and company earnings may improve. the second factor is that the pound
[00:20:09] rose most against the yen against other currencies, the Japanese yen has been
[00:20:13] volatile recently because investors remain uncertain about future Bank of
[00:20:17] Japan policy, officials have intervened in currency markets in recent
[00:20:21] weeks to support the yen, so two different factors really that
[00:20:25] combined to make um the pound stronger against the yen
[00:20:28] there. All right, let's um look at real estate in the
[00:20:32] UK, now I will see the the UK has emerged
[00:20:35] as Europe's top destiny. nation for real estate uh
[00:20:39] capital there we see the investment volume 23
[00:20:43] billion pounds year-on-year change about dropped about
[00:20:46] 8% but European ranking number one destination. for real
[00:20:50] estate um capital. tell us, what what
[00:20:54] does this say about the economy? yeah, so that
[00:20:58] headline comes from the CBRE's mid-year 2026
[00:21:02] UK real estate market outlook, which has found that the UK remains the
[00:21:06] largest destination for real estate investment in Europe during the
[00:21:10] first half of 2026, that is, this is significant because international
[00:21:14] investors have become much more selective over the past two years due to higher
[00:21:18] interest rates and economic uncertainty. According to CBRE, the UK
[00:21:21] attracted more commercial real estate investment than any other European country in the
[00:21:25] first six months of this year. Investment activity picked up as
[00:21:29] buyers became more confident that interest rates are nearing their peak, and
[00:21:33] London continued to be one the world's most attractive cities for global property
[00:21:36] investors, while regional the UK cities also saw increased
[00:21:40] interest. There are several factors that are working in the UK's factor here um favor
[00:21:44] here um the attractive valuations commercial property prices have fallen from their
[00:21:48] 2022 peaks after. higher interest rates, pushed valuations
[00:21:52] lower. Many investors now believe UK assets offer good long-term
[00:21:55] value, stable legal and financial system, so the international pension funds,
[00:21:59] sovereign wealth funds and insurance companies value the UK's stable,
[00:22:03] legal and financial system, and finally, the improving economic
[00:22:06] outlook. Recent data, as I said earlier, including the stronger
[00:22:10] UK services, the PMI that we discussed earlier, that suggests the
[00:22:13] economy is regaining momentum overall, so it's a rosy picture
[00:22:17] really for the new incoming uh prime minister. Andy Burnham, some better
[00:22:21] than expected figures, meaning he can claim at least that the country is on the right
[00:22:25] track, even though deep down, Mr. Burnham will know he's not
[00:22:28] responsible for it, that was the previous Prime Minister and his previous chancellor, but
[00:22:32] still it's a nice place for him to be, yeah, nice place for him to be, thank
[00:22:36] you so much, Simon, thank you, thank you, all right,

[00:22:47] profit that comfortably beat um market expectations as
[00:22:51] demand for its switch to gaming console that empowered the
[00:22:55] earnings um there so you see for uh the Q1 that full year

[00:23:02] year on year growth 150% annalist
[00:23:06] estimate was about 70.3 so they beat that uh the the

[00:23:50] revenue 1.99 billion dollars revenue estimate was
[00:23:54] 1.48 so they beat that uh so we see um a big beat there
