01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

GODPASDEM, stands for God Of PASsion And DEstiny Maker, is registered as GODPASDEM ENTERTAINMENT with CAC in 2013, however the project called GODPASDEM VISUAL RADIO(GVR) came in 2022. GVR is know for Broadcasting, Digital Marketing, Content Creation(Audio, Visual) and Event Management using social media as a means of communication. This idea was born out of the passion to reaching more people and communities with the aid of social media. Unlike the conventional radio broadcasting, GVR streams live contents that cuts across culture and creed as well as the immediate environment. We discuss life issues and solutions, either by hearing old examples or learning new patterns from experts/guests on the show. GVR have partnered with other brands and NGOs like OYITC, FEC FOUNDATION, LIZA MOSES FOUNDATION, LIVING FAITH CHURCH GBERIGBE, INSPIRATION 92.3 FM, etc for effective societal change by delivering audio-visual contents, social media ads, event management, community development.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

With the power of social media as a means of communication, Godpasdem Visual Radio(GVR) tends to solve life based issues that affects us as individuals and as a community of people. Nigeria as a case study is a country of over 200 million people of which 70% of these figure are living in both poverty of the mind and standard of living. However, I believe that 40% - 60% of these figure have an android phone that accesses the Internet, and in turn social media platforms. Conventional radio broadcasting has its own limitations as the brands and NGOs interested in helping their communities can't access them, so social media steps in. In this light, GVR solves the following problems 1. Poverty of the mind: Creating contents that elevates the mind 2. Low Standard of Living: Partnering with other brands for Poverty alleviation events. Laffspiration Series Of Events 3. Helping Entrepreneurs and Brands increase sales and generate leads via social media Ads. 4. News update

As earlier highlighted, Godpasdem Visual Radio (GVR) is a new kind of radio broadcasting where audio and visual are simultaneously used with the aid of social media technology. Unlike conventional radio broadcasting, listeners can see and interact with their host. GVR makes and receives live telephone calls on the show, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and other programmes that runs on a radio station. This is what makes GVR so unique and innovative. Guests are as well invited to the live show to interact with the audience and answer questions as dim fit. With social media availability, GVR tends to change conventional audio radio into a visual radio as most people spend more time on social networks than listening to an FM Radio.

06.09 Competitive Analysis

Every idea or innovation must have a competitor or competition. For us at Godpasdem Visual Radio, our main competitors are the rampant online content/digital creators. We welcome healthy competition as we thrive in this challenge. The following innovations stand us out from other online content/digital creators, 1. We change FM Radio into Visual Radio. 2. Our live streaming goes with live telephone calls and messages, while answering direct or indirect questions from our viewers. 3. We partner with brands and NGOs by creating stunning audio-visual contents for promotions and community services. 4. We take pride in our vision of being a visual radio, which tentatively is not categorised as an online radio that runs 247. 5. Unlike other content creators, GVR is the chief host of Laffspiration Series Of Events. This is an event aimed at bringing every fans and beneficiaries under one roof to enjoy laughter and network with one another.

11.05 Are you initiating actions within your community to promote the role of female entrepreneurs?

Apart from radically talking and promoting the discussions on our live broadcasts, indirectly, yes! We are initiating actions within our community to promote female entrepreneurs. This is proven in our partnership with Liza Moses Foundation and FEC Foundation, whose aims are to uplift, enrich and empower women and girls to become independent.
