Hi Jemilehin,
You are welcome.

Hi Ugo,
Your article entitled, 'Protect your idea, not just the money' was really enlightening, thank you. It has got me thinking on how a private school proprietor can protect an idea when what schools do is just copy one another.
Do have a nice day and share your thoughts, if any, about what I raised.

Hi Tokunbo,
Thanks for your kind word. You can protect whatever idea you have provided it hasn't been used before. Have a chat with a lawyer for more insight.
Kind regards.

Where do I go to for the copyright? Whom do I see in that respect?
—Akingbade A.
You would have to go to the Copyright Commission. I think they have an office in Lagos too.
A lawyer is best positioned to help you. If you don't have one, then I can recommend one for you.

Hello Ugodre,
I like your piece on intellectual property protection in The PUNCH.
I have been a victim of such intellectual property robbery in the past because of ignorance.
I am about to launch a portal that will help financial institutions optimise their operations and help manage volumes of data. It will be my pleasure if you could recommend any patent lawyer – whose fees are affordable and who also maintains a retainership arrangement – that could advise me with regards to patenting.
I will appreciate if you could expedite your response before I get my fingers burnt again.

Hi Kola,
Thanks for your kind words and sorry for your past experience.
I have a few I could recommend. However, give me a few days to make a list for you.
Any idea what your budget is?
Regards.

Good day Mr. Ugodre Obi-Chukwu,
I read your article on career choices in The PUNCH and I was quite impressed by it. I must say I've gained quite a lot from it. Please, I need your advice. I studied economics education at the University of Lagos and I just passed out of the National Youth Service Corps. I want to go abroad for my postgraduate studies preferably to Canada, to study Project Management. What do you think of it as a career choice and what employment opportunities are in the field? Thank you.
—E. Osa
Hi Osa,
Thanks for the compliment and I am glad you gained a lot from my article. A career in Project Management is very good particularly in a country like Nigeria with a huge need for infrastructural development. Employment opportunities abound not just in Nigeria but in nearly every country in the world.
However, I will advice you go further for a Master's and major in a specific field of project management to give you a better competitive edge. You should also consider taking professional examinations within your chosen field to broaden your knowledge base making you a full professional. This ensures that you can eventually branch out on your own should the need arise.
Cheers and hope I helped.
