SUSAN SUMOSU, Sustones Records
In spite of challenges, competition and some other factors affecting the settings up of my new chosen area of business. Some gainful progresses has been made during the year under review. On the part of the property/real estate, we’ve been able to break into the market and been able to adapt to the laws guiding real estate market in Nigeria and Namibia. We’ve been able to establish in Nigerian market despite the exorbitant value of properties here. By the end of 2014, we looking at collaborating with top contractors in Namibia to further our strength and vision for say year 2016.

A lot of progress have been made based on our projections for 2014. In fact I would say that we are humbled about how much we have achieved within the year and our clients so far.
For the rest of the year, we expect that we would even see more work. It is said that the reward for a job well done is more work. We are grateful for that at WildFlower PR. We are also looking at implementing some new plans of ours as well.
OLUBUNMI BANWO, Iammorethanadiet
One of my targets for 2014 is to reach as many mums as possible and preach the healthy living gospel. So far, I have been a guest speaker at two conferences to educate women and I attending my third women conference this weekend. I have also succeeded in launching my website iammorethanadiet.com to show women that they can do it just like some have. I am also launching my free 30 days program this weekend. Before the end of the year I hope to have started my boot camp fitness classes aimed at women and moms.

I won’t say I have not made so much progress in 2014 because every business has its own basic challenges, but I am grateful to the Almighty that I was able to cross that bridge.
My expectation in the last quarter of the year is to render the best services to my customers and to get many more customers.

AYO BALOGUN
I have not met all my targets for 2014. In fact, I still have a long road to ply. I am yet to release my album which is planned for October this year. I want to launch it together with my new instruments worth millions of naira. If that is achieved, and with the engagements I have ahead, I can now say my goals for 2014 have been accomplished.
But in all, I give glory to God. And my expectations are also very high concerning my business in the last quarter of this year.
ABOSEDE FADESHEWA
God has been faithful. Though business is dull generally, we have been able to come by. We pray that the last quarter would be better than the last three quarters.
