Audio-Book Entrepreneur Gets In The Good Books Of 2 Lions. But Who Does He Pick? | Lions Den Nigeria

[@treasuredavid8441]

Who else goes to check these companies to see how their business is thriving after watching each episode?

[@jasonking4529]

Exactly my question. There needs to be a system that checks how they're fairing in business and how they can be assisted. Their review will go a long way to encourage other SME's

[@kolapodaniel]

I always love to hear Lion Paul Onwuanibe, his articulation gives me goosebumps. His reaction in the end though. lol

[@amadidaniel961]

Honestly I so love his tone

[@preciousfires5088]

I was typing this

[@chvrleshd]

When Bolaji Balogun talks, I feel very responsible 😂

[@sylvesteradim1532]

The Lions are really making great impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.

[@TheImpactAdvocate]

Bolaji Balogun is the Idan of negotiation

[@tourghanatv8423]

I love this episode 😄😄😄❤️❤️ Dan was always not interested, now they’ve left him behind 😂😂

[@fingerchops]

Adenike Ogunlesi doesn't always invest, she's always out except someone else invest first or bring her in. Mr Paul want to employ Him.

[@RapidFlix]

one thing I noticed with a lot of Nigerian entrepreneurs as compared to shark tank and dragons den in US and UK respectively, is that they usually don't have a product or a working proof of concept other times the businesses they bring forward have barely run for a reasonable amount of time.

[@LexCrypt]

4 months later and the app is still under development. And he said 1-2 months for app completion. Depends on when lions implement their offers. "Some good writers stutter."

[@oyewale.O]

He does not necessarily need to build a studio, he can just partner with studios and voiceover academy all over Nigeria, and just pour all the money into the app development

[@komolafesamuel237]

Yeah. I second your opinion

[@paradigmedutv2016]

Is there a studio called Voiceover Academy and where is it? Thanks

[@oyewale.O]

@@paradigmedutv2016 voiceover academy is a training school for Voice over artistes and has the largest voiceover bank in Nigeria, And yeah, they do have a studio, can even partner with Omnilearn Studio, they have 8 voice studio on the island alone

[@prettsmedia]

@@oyewale.O Wow! Thanks for this information, though I was not the one that asked.

[@marveldavedouglas4709]

I love your take on this, I always like collaboration, using other services while achieving your aim.

[@aliyyahkalejaye9831]

Paul made someone an offer!!!! 😂😂

[@munnirabdulhamid4774]

Yes na his App is not Ugly 😂

[@ernesto8273]

Offer wey make sense

[@abrahamonadokun2098]

Paul that is always the first to back down

[@charlesoladele]

I know right😂

[@nwachukz1848]

You seff you sabi

[@realotobi]

Paul's offer was giving shackles 😂. 40% ownership, control the governance rights of Board, and after all that, you just drop to 20%, and the studio space he's offering sef is in Lagos and then he will be paying all contractors directly, so basically making the guy his staff. Investor like Sabinus. 😂

[@michelnezarrio1626]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wilsonsilasmkandawire]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@newinVC]

Investor Sabinus indeed 😂. Big shackles. But 5M is not a lot of money for 35% equity though

[@jayjayden5549]

😅🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@cynthiamoregbuniwe1803]

🤣🤣

[@aminuolawale1843]

Paul: "I'll give you all your money..." Kyari: :😳

[@idris10x]

I swear, Kyari's reaction immediately got me. I wonder what the man was thinking; "Paul, you sure say you won drop money?" but man relaxed immediately Paul started laying out his conditions. Paul is the extraordinarily frugal type.

[@charlesoladele]

Kyari got me cracked up with his shocked face😂😂...He was like....Really? All the Money? Is there a business here that I am not seeing? What is going on with these lions? 🤣🤣

[@abdulrasaqoseni6843]

💉🤷🏾‍♂️ Mr kyari got shot

[@samuelfatoki4742]

Finally, Mr. Paul makes an offer.

[@olabodeigbayilola5556]

Lion Paul is very risk averse.

[@ikennai274]

Why does he need a voiceover and a studio when he can get his programmers to use google text-to- speech APIs and google AI technologies, which will even give him wider varieties of options for customizations. A custom voice created can be reused for several books, with also many more languages available to translate to. Please what am I missing here with the idea of voiceover and studio?

[@temitopedurotoye]

Exactly my thought... That would be ingenius; saves the time it would take to vocalise the book. Natural Language Processing has algorithms that can help with this. Imagine the time it would take to transcribe 100 books to audio.

[@momentswithsalami]

@@temitopedurotoye I was also thinking in line with you. It will be costlier and time-consuming to pay voice over artists and studios. Text-to-Speech technologies are better.

[@adeeadey5957]

Voice overs sounds pretty shit to me, I wont sit down 2hrs listening to dummy voice, they bore me. Are the voice overs usually any better?

[@phaonline1548]

Excellent point!

[@mediasage]

You cannot commercialize text to speech

[@GoodMuyis]

Mobile App makers should learn that traction is very important before seeking investors. Your success will determine if investors will be interested in your work

[@OprahCoco]

E shock Mr Paul ooooo🤣🤣🤣🥵

[@investorsoft2356]

This guys are smart ejoor 😂😂🤲🏼🥺🥺

[@blessingecoma9233]

Paul finally makes an offer and gets...rejected...chai!

[@chibuikemezeonu143]

😂😂😂 Happy for the guy! Hope to read books from him someday!

[@MrBiyi]

yh up and running least the website is

[@smarthustlersclub6375]

This is a simple model, he needs to come up with prototype and partner with voice over artist

[@successapproach9666]

You dont even need to partner.... Do it like amazon...where u have people do the voice over and get little royalties if their voice over is selected.

[@ohiakennedy5346]

Oh my God! I'm so happy for this guyyyy

[@draysax]

1 million won't build 3 solid small studios

[@AyeniBJerry]

Awesome the offer is good for him

[@rosineberi354]

Paul wants to take over this business 😂😂😂. He's indirectly making him a staff

[@tolulopeajayi5857]

Paul makes an offer 😂😂😂

[@OprahCoco]

Mr Paul’s offer ehen 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@princessamarachi5683]

I do voiceovers, so I don't understand the 5 million naira. Need a voiceover artiste or Igbo Translator? . I'm here.

[@OprahCoco]

Those studios can’t be in Lagos and Abuja. Maybe another state o

[@obanibimonifelix4531]

Why do you say that?

[@OprahCoco]

@@obanibimonifelix4531 I am a voice over artist and I know the cost of studio time, the equipment alone is more than the money that brother is calling, not to talk of yearly rent, paying staff, electricity bills and just running costs. Ogaaaa it’s expensive

[@obanibimonifelix4531]

Alright.

[@mubaraksadik9484]

I don't know when this mama will invest

[@NejiBank]

So Paul finally made an offer?

[@kabir_ay]

Mentorist have already taken over this notion

[@Piano4kidds]

Mr Paul's made an offer for the 2nd time but these conditions 😂

[@OprahCoco]

Please I’m a Voice Over Artist. Especially for those seeking a clear voice to carry audio content for KZbin

[@namprincewill7420]

Noted, where’s your location?

[@kaybest9607]

Paul wants to loan him money, which he’ll pay back in exchange for 40% of his company. Ahn ahn 😂

[@Yahayaabubakarzakari]

This my guy forgot that remote narration will help this business go a long way...abi you no want give narrators for your language job ni?

[@davidokwara1894]

Paul Invested. Jesus!!!!

Investment that comes with shakles 😄😄

[@dr.1956]

This paul ....how can you reduce the value of someone's business from 50m to 12.5m

[@AmarEros]

Because the valuation is wrong. The app is an idea not yet a business and the publishing aspect is nowhere close to that valuation.

[@kokoette-samueljames9958]

Voice training can solve the issue of voice.

[@Livingindecibels]

For an Author, it’s not a priority plus not everyone has the zeal to actually finish narrating an audiobook even when they wrote it

[@bestteacher9949]

BOLAJI IS BOSS

[@akinakin4920]

Better still get an AI that does text-to-speech, you might just need some subscription.

[@princessamarachi5683]

5 million naira for everything 🙄🙄 Voiceovers, translators, studios?

[@niyitech4796]

Sharp guy!

[@abioyeorimadegun7851]

Paul basically want to take soo much control that he might even end up buying the business. Bolaji's offer isn't even the best but the fact that he gives the guy much more time and is willing to reduce his stake in the company by that time makes it more impressive.

[@jayjayden5549]

First offer this Paul guy has given and its so peanuts 🥜. Stingy for 40 percent

[@uniquebrands6056]

So am out

[@felixenyinnaya4575]
