Wanna start a fire? All you need is a spark!

Welcome to the world of Spark magazine, a place where you can ignite your senses and find inspiration to stimulate your creative capabilities. All around us today are problems and issues that challenge the success of our dreams, goals, personal endeavors and businesses.

Many times in our lives we are like the proverbial maid searching for a lost coin in the dark. Or like the man trapped in a darkened room with a live tiger, not knowing how to escape. When light appears, we find what we are looking for, we find a way of escape.

All it takes to move forwards in life, overcoming our personal and organizational bottlenecks, are sparks of insight, ideas, innovations and creative solutions. That is what Spark Magazine hopes to create - Sparks!

It is our hope and mission, that through our content, we will be able to stimulate new ideas, promote old ones that work, and generally generate and highlight solutions to problems we face. The over all intention is to make a positive difference in our lives and improve personal and organizational productivity, which ultimately increases wealth.

We hope to achieve this through the content we will feature on this blog and in our upcoming website and magazine! (*soon to be out)

We will feature stories, reports and articles that are designed to stimulate. I am sure you, our potential followers, will always feel that spark of creative energy and inspiration each time you visit us.

Feel free to be interactive, sending in your comments, ideas, innovations and of course creative solutions.

And here is just a sneak preview of an event we have labelled - The Switch Challenge!, brought to you by Switch Media Nigeria.

Switch Challenge (SC) is an open innovation marketplace. It's where diverse community members from all over the world respond to challenges posted by companies. SC helps sponsoring companies highlight various organizational/business challenges and makes them available to a global network of Innovators. These Innovators develop solutions and the best short-listed solutions are submitted for review by SC and the Sponsor. If one or more of the submissions meets the Sponsor's needs, that Innovator is awarded a success fee.


SC is all about ideas, innovations and strategies, stirring up innovations within youths and focusing their intellectual and creative minds on solving tough problems, as they get recognition from their peers and the management of leading enterprises.

SC will also help aspiring young entrepreneurs to expand their network of valuable business contacts, as they develop relationships with community members who can also be useful outside SC - for business development, recruiting, investment searches and more. It is also an opportunity to earn significant financial remuneration.

Switch Challenge will be established in Abuja, with coverage all over Nigeria.

A yearly seminar will be held at each geo-political zone of Nigeria to stir up innovation amongst youths and a yearly award to the most innovative challenge of the year, as well as the most innovative company.

All this is already underway. So stay tuned and we will keep you posted.
