The Government
Since the change of power in Ivory Coast ending the political crisis, new prospects and perspectives are opening up for a country that couple of months ago was heading straight for the abyss. Now more than ever, we are assisting at a real ballet of investors knocking at the doors of the country. But when the dust settles, what’s real and what’s not?  By the look of things, it appears to me that the main focus of the government at this time is: taking care of the high level on unemployment, get the infrastructures renovated, restructure the educational system, which has heavily deteriorated over the past decade and also invest into the mechanization of agriculture.

Ismael Coulibaly goes on saying :”Read one of my earliest post called Land And Farming: The New Scramble For Africa and you will be able to read between the lines. This is no DA VINCI CODE, so let’s cut to the chase; West Africa is currently turning into a hot zone for Investments.”

Some of the car sellers in Ivory Coast even go to the extent of buying vehicle only when the value of the dollar is at its lowest. It means their money is worth more. Every idea is welcome as long as it ends up lowering the overall costs of doing business.

Mfonobong Nsehe :Jobberman started out only in 2009, but it’s already one of the most popular job sites in the African region. What’s been the catalyst for such rapid growth?

Ayodeji Adewunmi:If you are going to be huge in Africa, Nigeria must be a key part of your strategy. This is so true, ‘Africa is the gun, Nigeria the trigger’. So by sheer market size, we are addressing a very large and interesting problem. Nigeria is a large country, large working population, and internationally growing.

MN:The Nigerian web space is crowded with a legion of job sites and recruitment boards. What’s your comparative advantage? What does Jobberman do differently from Njorku, or any other classified websites for jobs?

AA: We’ve paid relentless focus to quality listings, anti-spam and products that people generally want.We are spending heavily offline and online on marketing, and increased significantly our budget for research and product development.
