AIBS Holds ‘Digital Survival Workshop’ for Entertainers

Worship Without Walls Ope Banwo

By Dipo Olowookere

A free seven-day workshop for entertainers has been organised by the American Internet Business School (AIBS).

The workshop was put together by AIBS to help artistes, musicians, comedians, producers, and entertainment executives navigate through the new normal caused by COVID-19.

Since the outbreak of the virus in Nigeria in March 2020, the federal government has placed strict restrictions on the gathering of more than 20 persons.

This has made it impossible for show promoters to organise events, thereby keeping entertainers out of jobs for nearly three months.

Founder and CEO of AIBS, Dr Ope Banwo, explained that he came up with the workshop as part of a digital business empowerment and awareness initiative for the entertainment industry.

At the unveiling from his base in the United States of America (USA), Mr Banwo said the free seminar is targeted at operators of the entertainment industry.

He said the online training tagged Digital Business Survival Workshop, will hold from Monday, June 29 to Saturday, July 4, 2020.

According to him, the event will avail attendees the opportunity to learn digital business strategies that any creative artiste or executive can tap into to create multiple streams of additional income for their brand, creative works and fan base.

“The American Internet Business School recognises that even before the COVID-19 pandemic came and decimated the finances of many individuals and companies in virtually every industry, many creative artistes have struggled to understand how they can generate extra income from their talents, artistic catalogue and huge fan base without the investment of capital, technical skills or digital business experience.

“While most serious creative artists, entertainers, and executives do have some impressive presence online, most have barely scratched the surface of the amazing potential of the internet to multiply the returns on their creative assets and brand and create sustainable levels of income that will far outlast their active days as creative artistes.

“This first of its kind seven-day Digital Income Survival Workshop, complete with real time case studies of how some of the strategies have been successfully applied in the global marketplace, will provide a simple step by step blueprint that creative artistes, actors, actresses, musicians, producers, and executives can follow in using the internet to create multiple income streams for themselves through their talents, catalogue, brand and fan base,” the serial internet entrepreneur said.

Highlighting the schedule of the workshop, Training Director at AIBS, Ms Nancy Hicks, described the workshop as a special post-COVID-19 economic survival palliative programme to provide the much-needed strategies for digital monetisation to the highly resourceful and talented members of the entertainment industry.

According to her, AIBS invites all members of the entertainment industry to attend the seven-day free breakthrough workshop and get introduced to some very simple streams of digital income that have been specially customized for members of the entertainment industry.

“Every day, for three hours, during the seven days conference, Dr Banwo and a team from the American Internet Business School will be breaking down one digital business income stream peculiar to the entertainment industry and providing attendees with the blueprint on how they too can get started in monetizing their skills, creative assets, and fan base as entertainers or entertainment executives.

“The seven-day workshop is free for all musicians, actors, actresses, producers, comedians, executives and anyone connected with the entertainment industry, but everyone must pre-register to lock down their spot since the digital training room they would be using can provide access to 100 participants only,” she stated.

Training areas during the programme include Affiliate Marketing Income Stream For Creative Industry, Info Marketing Income Stream For Entertainers, Freelancing Income Stream For Creative Artistes, Celebrity Dropshipping Income Stream, Celebrity Membership Sites Income Stream, and Social Media Income Stream For Entertainers.

Affirming the fact that there is indeed a lot to be benefitted from the workshop, Dr Banwo said, “This is the time for all members of the creative industry to take the ability to generate multiple income streams from their talents, creative assets and fan base to the next level. We encourage everyone involved in the industry to come and benefit.”

“The primary objective of AIBS is to provide modular internet-based training in the form of online and live training, recorded training and home study courses for doing business on the internet,” he added.

AIBS is renowned for equipping businesses and individuals on how to maximise their productivity and profitability on the internet.

Over the years, AIBS has also provided training on key areas of internet business such as brand building, communication, marketing and sales.

Zara Nnamani thought she had the perfect marriage, until reality slapped her harder than Lagos traffic. Tiny, on the other hand, just wanted to enjoy the soft life, not get caught up in wahala.

Tega, a hustling bus driver, just wants to survive, but life keeps showing him shege. His father dies, leaving him with debts and no way out. Meanwhile, Odafe Junior, the privileged son of Chief Odafe, is tired of living in his father’s shadow.

7 Fictional Characters You’d Never Want to Mess With

Published

on

Some characters are impossible to ignore. Whether they’re ruling empires, outsmarting their enemies, or surviving against impossible odds, these icons on Showmax Originals and other blockbuster international series leave a lasting impression. From ruthless leaders to fearless survivors, here are some characters on Showmax who make every moment on screen unforgettable.

Wura Amoo-Adeleke – Wura

Few characters embody power like Wura. The ruthless CEO of Frontline Gold Mine, Wura presents herself as an elegant and respected businesswoman, but underneath that polished exterior is a woman willing to lie, manipulate, and eliminate anyone who threatens her empire.

Her power moves are calculated, her enemies don’t see her coming, and once she sets a plan in motion, there’s no stopping her. Whether she’s handling corporate rivals, personal betrayals, or threats from within, Wura plays the game at a level few can match.

Sean Wallace – Gangs of London

In the underworld of London, power is taken, never given. Sean Wallace was born into a crime dynasty, but when his father is assassinated, he is forced to step up and take control of an empire on the verge of collapse.

Sean doesn’t just play the game, he rewrites the rules. Brutal, unpredictable, and ready to burn the city down if it means keeping his throne, he isn’t just a gangster, he’s a force of nature. Cross him once, and you won’t get a second chance.

Princess Aderiyife – Kabiyesi

Some people inherit power. Others fight for it. Inspired by the real-life reign of Orompoto, the only female Alaafin of Oyo, Princess Aderiyife is caught in a battle for power that will determine the future of Oyo-Ile.

After tragedy strikes on what should have been her happiest day, she finds herself facing betrayal, political intrigue, and enemies who will do anything to stop her from ruling. But Aderiyife isn’t just here to survive—she’s here to change the game. The road to power is dangerous, but for a woman determined to lead, failure is not an option.

The Jackal – The Day of the Jackal

There are assassins, and then there’s The Jackal, a legend in the world of espionage. No name, no past, no trace just a ghost who appears only when it’s already too late.

Intelligence agencies have spent years trying to track him, but he’s always one step ahead. He blends in and disappears without a trace, and when he sets his sights on a target, failure isn’t an option. The world’s most feared hitman isn’t after power or recognition, just a flawless execution every single time.

Venom – Venom: The Last Dance

Venom is chaos in its purest form, an unstoppable force that no one can control, not even its host, Eddie Brock.

This time, the fight isn’t just about survival. With the government closing in, new threats emerging, and Eddie struggling to hold on, Venom faces his most dangerous challenge yet. But here’s the thing about Venom. He doesn’t follow rules, he breaks them.

Brutally strong, terrifyingly fast, and completely unpredictable, Venom is the last thing you ever want hunting you down. When he’s on the loose, nobody is safe.

Ezeugo – Cheta M

Ezeugo isn’t just dangerous, he’s untouchable.

As the leader of the Ohaneze Inner Council, he commands influence that few can challenge. But it’s not just his authority that makes him terrifying—it’s his mind. Every move he makes is calculated, every decision carefully measured. He doesn’t need brute force when he can outthink and outmaneuver his enemies.

The most dangerous thing about Ezeugo? You never know what he’s truly thinking. He’s unpredictable, shrewd, and always one step ahead. And when it comes to revenge, betrayal, or power? He never forgets.

Misty Quigley – Yellowjackets

Misty isn’t the strongest or the most powerful, but she’s the most unpredictable, and that makes her the most dangerous.

She starts off as the awkward outsider, but it doesn’t take long to realize that underneath her sweet exterior is someone who is manipulative, calculating, and impossible to control.

She’s not just surviving, she’s pulling the strings. Whether it’s gaslighting her so-called friends, making brutal decisions without hesitation, or keeping secrets that could destroy everything, Misty thrives in chaos. You never know what she’s thinking, and that’s exactly how she likes it.

These characters don’t just exist in their worlds—they define them. Whether through power, fear, intelligence, or sheer survival instinct, they command attention and leave their mark long after the credits roll.
