A BIGGER PICTURE OF AI

What if the limit
was no longer
“I don’t know how”?

You already know your work. Imagine turning that into a tool, a sharper decision, or a better service.

Learn to give AI context, break work into steps and check what comes back.

Build your earning potential. Develop a useful service, a stronger proposal or a better follow-up. AI helps you prepare; you bring the expertise.

Reduce avoidable spending. Compare costs, organise recurring admin and catch mistakes before they become rework. Agree a useful measure of progress.

For experienced professionals and curious learners in Nigeria, the African diaspora and beyond. Start with your experience, not the terminology.

ELEVEN REASONS PEOPLE START

This is what
it actually looks like.

These are the reasons people come to us, not a class list. You are coached on your own, or with one or two others, and the work is yours. You can also discuss ongoing help, subject to scope and capacity. Four are here and seven are a click away. Illustrations of the shape of that work, not recordings of a product.

Illustration. Nothing here is running.

01SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUILD

You have wanted to build something for years.

You start with a small web app for a real problem. By the end you can read the code, change it, and test it before anyone else uses it.

Illustration. Invented documents.

02THE CONSULTANT · FINDS

You know the answer is in a file somewhere.

It reads your own documents and answers from them. It also tells you which file and which clause it used, so you can open it and check.

Illustration. The suppliers and the prices are invented.

03THE BUYER · ORDERS

You wanted the price checked, not a discussion about it.

You give it a job and a limit. It works through the steps, shows you what it did, and waits before it spends anything. On an order this size, your usual supplier and the best of the three are ₦610,000 apart.

Illustration. Not a real message.

04EVERYONE · CHECKS

The message says your account closes today.

This is not an app that filters your messages. You learn to ask about what is in front of you, and to notice when the honest answer is that it does not know. Then you ring the bank yourself.

Seven more, if you want them

Illustration. Invented figures.

05THE CONTRACTOR · WRITES

Quoting takes you an evening every time.

Rough site notes come back as a quote you can send. It does the typing and the arithmetic, and you set the prices.

Illustration. Not a real client.

06THE TAILOR · SEES

A client sends a photo and says “like this”.

It reads the picture and suggests the fabric and the cutting. You still measure the person in front of you.

Illustration. The prints are generated.

07THE DESIGNER · MAKES

Twenty versions of an idea, then the one you want.

You can follow a direction properly instead of settling for the first thing you had time to draw. The repeat and the colours come written down for the printer.

Illustration. A speaker checks the wording.

08THE HEALTH WORKER · TRANSLATES

A notice in English does not reach everyone.

One message, in the languages people around you actually speak. A speaker reads every version before it is sent.

Illustration. Not a real caller.

09THE ESTATE AGENT · ANSWERS

Enquiries arrive at 9pm and go cold by morning.

An agreed initial response collects the enquiry details for you. The appointment confirmation stays in draft until you approve it.

Illustration. Invented inbox.

10THE OFFICE MANAGER · TRIAGES

You open the laptop to a full inbox.

It works overnight inside rules you set. It files what it can, drafts what it should, and leaves you the one thing that needs deciding.

Illustration. An invented week.

11THE NEW MOTHER · ARRANGES

Nobody has the attention for admin at 3am.

It handles the arranging: appointments, reordering, keeping a note of things. Nothing is decided for you.

Eleven reasons, one programme. It is built around yours, with you, in a room of no more than three.

Your scope is agreed with you. What you build depends on your goals, your starting point and the time you put in.

PUT YOUR EXPERIENCE TO WORK

Earn more. Spend less.
Keep your judgement.

Two reasons to learn the method. Start with a real opportunity or a cost you can examine.

Turn expertise into an offer

A service shaped around what you know. A clearer proposal. A useful tool or resource you can develop and test with customers. AI can help you prepare the work; demand, quality and follow-through determine what it earns.

Give enquiries a useful next step

Organise customer questions, prepare relevant replies and draft follow-ups for your approval. Spend more attention on the conversations and decisions that need your experience.

Compare costs before you commit

The illustration uses two current quotes, ₦5,120,000 and ₦4,510,000, plus a past order of ₦4,980,000 for context. The current quotes differ by ₦610,000. All suppliers and figures are invented. Check scope, quality and delivery terms as well as price.

Reduce repeated work and rework

A stock alert, a reusable report or a first draft can reduce repeated preparation. Build in checks, then measure whether it actually saves time or cost. Time saved becomes more valuable when you put it to useful work.

Practical possibilities, not promised returns. Your results depend on your starting point, goals and practice. In week one, we choose a task worth improving and agree what progress would look like.

WHY IT COSTS WHAT IT DOES

You will find AI courses
for a fraction of this.
Here is the difference.

Some of them are good, and a recorded course is a sensible first look. This is something else: a practitioner’s full attention on your work, at your pace, within the agreed 21 live hours.

What you getSelf-paced studyThis programme

₦525,000, or $525, for twenty one live hours comes to ₦25,000, or $25, for each hour of coaching, with the build, the assignments and the review of your work or goals included. You speak to us before you pay anything.

YOUR INVESTMENT

PROGRAMME FEE

₦525,000

or $525 if you are paying from outside Nigeria

For the seven-week programme, per person

One programme fee. Skills to keep using.

  • 21 hours of hands-on sessions
  • One to one, or a small group. Three at most
  • At your pace: we don’t move on until you understand
  • A review of your business or workflow
  • Improvements you learn to own
  • Your own path, assignments and deliverables
  • Creating with AI, and checking it
Discuss the learning goals

You will need a laptop for the sessions. Some finished tools can also be managed from your phone, depending on what you build. The required AI subscription is included in the programme fee. Confirm the provider, access period and account arrangement with us before enrolling, along with the schedule, delivery format and payment terms. The currency you pay in and the accepted payment methods are agreed in that conversation.

AFTER THE SEVEN WEEKSKeep support behind you.An optional retainer, from ₦375,000 or $375 a month.

What you build on the programme is yours to run. If you want ongoing help, discuss a retainer with Ife: keeping agreed work running, building the next piece, or handling tasks you would rather not do yourself. Scope and delivery capacity are confirmed before any commitment.

Subject to agreed capacity, it can start alongside the programme or once the seven weeks are over. You approve from your phone, and anything you would like to run yourself you can take back at any point, with the monthly fee going down to match.

  • What a month covers. The work is agreed up front. The kind of thing in the illustrations above: answering enquiries that arrive at night, sorting an inbox overnight, checking supplier prices, flagging low stock, drafting quotes.
  • Who runs it. Ife Ugbebor leads the work and earned the EC-Council CEH ethical hacking credential in 2014. Nothing that spends money or goes out in your name is sent without your approval.
  • How scope is agreed. What we run, the hours, how long it lasts and the notice either side gives are set out before anything starts, and the fee moves with the scope. We confirm availability before accepting a retainer.

₦375,000 or $375 a month to start, depending on scope. Usually ₦750,000 / $750 a month.If you would rather not learn it at all, a retainer works on its own.

PREFER TO START SMALLER?

WHAT YOU COULD BUILD
  • An enquiry-to-proposal workflow you can review
  • A simple sales and stock dashboard
  • A campaign built around your actual offer

Keep the judgment: verify prices, claims and customer details before anything goes out.

IF YOU WANT THE DETAIL

Everything else,
folded away.

Open only what you care about. Nothing is hidden from you. It is just not in your way.

How we work with your business

YOUR BUSINESS IS PART OF THE CLASSROOM

Improve the business.
Build the capability in you.

We work on real opportunities in your business. You learn the reasoning and the checks.

01 / UNDERSTAND IT

Look at how the work actually happens.

We look at your goals, your workflow and where it slows down.

02 / IMPROVE IT

Put AI where it earns its place.

We pick one change, build it, and compare it with how you work now.

03 / OWN IT

Learn to do it again yourself.

You practise directing and testing it, so you can do the next one without us.

No business of your own? We apply the same approach to your professional work or personal project. Would you rather we did the improving? On a retainer we do step two for you and keep it running, and step three happens whenever you choose to take it over.

The six things you learn

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY LEARN

Build. Think. Create.
And keep your guard up.

Six ways this shows up in real work.

01 / BUILD

From idea to something usable.

Websites, simple apps, dashboards, internal tools. Describe it, refine it, test it.

An idea → a working prototype
02 / THINK

Give your judgment better material.

Research a market, compare options, question a spreadsheet. With sources you can check.

Scattered information → a decision brief
03 / CREATE

Make your expertise travel further.

Proposals, presentations, lessons, campaigns. In a voice that still sounds like you.

Your expertise → a stronger offer
04 / ORGANISE

Build a better way to work.

Turn repeated tasks into workflows. You keep the approval step.

Repeated admin → a reviewed workflow
05 / LIVE

Bring the benefit home.

Plan a project, learn a hard subject, organise family life. Free up your attention.

A personal ambition → a practical plan
06 / PROTECT

Know when not to trust it.

Spot convincing fakes, check claims, and protect what matters before money is at stake.

A convincing message → a verification habit
How the seven weeks run

THE SEVEN-WEEK EXPERIENCE

You bring the ambition.
We shape the learning around it.

Three hands-on hours a week, plus assignments. Your goals shape the rest.

01

START WITH YOUR WORLD

Find the work worth changing.

We map your goals and pick one real problem worth solving.

A personal project brief

02

LEARN BY MAKING

Build, question and improve.

You build, break and improve real things, week by week.

Work you can show and refine

03

MAKE IT YOURS

Leave with a way forward.

You test what you built, note its limits, and take the method with you.

Your project portfolio & next steps

↗

The aim is that you can build something, explain how it works, and check whether it is right. That matters more than how many tools you can name.

If you arrange ongoing support on a retainer, alongside the programme or after it, we agree the work and available capacity before it starts.

Spotting fakes, in more detail

AI LITERACY IS ALSO SELF-DEFENCE

It sounds like them.
It looks real.
Is it?

A familiar voice asking for money. A known face selling a miracle. A document that looks official.

Something can be convincing and still be false. Learning to use AI ought to make you harder to fool as well.

A SCENARIO, NOT A REAL MESSAGE

“It’s me. We’ve changed the account. Please make the transfer now.”

Familiar voice. Urgent request.
What would you check first?
Call a number you already have.

Use a contact from your own records, never one printed in the message. A voice or a face is not proof, and an AI detector is not a check.

WHAT THE HABIT PROTECTS

Protect your money.

Check impersonation and payment requests independently.

Protect your name.

Check sources before you repeat or publish a claim.

Protect your information.

Decide what to redact, upload and share.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Good questions.
Straight answers.

THE PROGRAMME

What if I am not confident with new technology?

Start with what you already know: your work, your routines and what you want to improve. We explain unfamiliar terms, practise the steps together and make room for questions. Sessions move at your pace within the agreed 21 hours; you do not have to arrive knowing the jargon.

Do I need to know how to code?

You can start the conversation without a coding background. Your current experience helps us shape the learning path. If your goal involves building software, you will practise breaking down a problem, guiding the build and testing it, rather than trusting generated code.

Is this only for business owners?

No. The programme is for business and life: professionals, educators, creators and people with a personal ambition can explore a bespoke path. Tell us what you want to achieve so we can assess the fit.

How many people are in a session?

Three at most, and often it is just you. The coaching is hands-on and the work is your own, which is not something that survives a room of thirty. Ask us which format is available when you enquire.

Can you train our whole team?

We can discuss your team’s goals. Each group has three people at most, at ₦525,000 or $525 per person. The first intake is limited to one learner or one group of up to three; any further groups need an agreed schedule and confirmed capacity. Ongoing delivery support is scoped separately and is not automatically included in team coaching.

What if I fall behind, or need longer on something?

There is nobody ahead of you to fall behind: it is you, with up to two others, and the seven weeks move at your pace. We don’t move on until you understand. If one part needs longer, it gets longer, and something less important gets less.

Is everyone taught the same curriculum?

The programme runs for seven weeks with three hands-on hours a week. The curriculum and projects are bespoke because participants have different aspirations and starting points. We agree your focus through the intake conversation.

When and where are the sessions?

Sessions run online: two 90-minute sessions each week for seven weeks. We agree suitable times and your time zone before enrolment. Full programme payment is due before the first session, after the scope and terms are agreed. An enquiry does not reserve a place.

What equipment or paid tools will I need?

A laptop is required for programme sessions: you build as you go, and that needs a keyboard and a proper screen. Some finished tools can be managed from your phone; it depends on what you build. The required AI subscription is included in the programme fee; we agree the provider, access period and account arrangement before enrolment. A retainer needs no laptop or programme AI subscription, because we are the ones building and running it. We will talk through your internet connection and current tools at intake.

I’m outside Nigeria. What do I pay?

The fee per person is ₦525,000 in Nigeria, or $525 if you are paying internationally. Which currency applies to you, the accepted payment methods and the timing are confirmed with us before you enrol. Sessions run online, so ask us about time zones and the available schedule during intake.

Is the defence content a cybersecurity qualification?

No. It is practical AI literacy: recognising impersonation risks, checking information, protecting data and using AI responsibly. It is part of this programme, not a separate cybersecurity qualification.

RESULTS AND ONGOING SUPPORT

Why does this cost more than the AI courses I see online?

The fee covers a practitioner working through your goals with you, live, one to one or with two others at most, at your pace, within the agreed 21 live hours. ₦525,000, or $525, for twenty one live hours is ₦25,000, or $25, for each hour of coaching. The difference, side by side.

Will this save me money?

It can help you identify avoidable costs and reduce repeated work. We begin by choosing a useful task and agreeing how to measure progress. Any savings depend on the task, the tools and how you use them; they may not exceed the programme fee.

Is AI going to take my job?

AI is changing some tasks, but the effect on a particular job depends on the work and the organisation. This programme helps you practise directing tools, checking their output and applying them to your own goals. It cannot promise employment or job security.

Will this guarantee that I earn more or spend less?

No ranking or income outcome is guaranteed, and neither are savings. The message describes what we help you work towards. We agree useful goals and measures with you, then practise the method on your work. Progress depends on your circumstances, participation, decisions and project scope.

What happens after the seven weeks?

What you build is yours, and the aim is that you can run it and check it. If you want ongoing help, discuss a retainer led by Ife, from ₦375,000, or $375, a month depending on scope. The work, start date and delivery capacity are agreed before a commitment.

Can you just do the work for us instead?

Yes, for a small number of clients. A retainer starts from ₦375,000, or $375, a month depending on scope, against a standard ₦750,000 / $750 a month. Ife leads the agreed work. You approve anything that spends money or goes out in your name, and you can discuss taking the work over. Scope, capacity, hours, duration, notice and handover are agreed before anything starts.

What would a retainer actually run for us?

The kind of work in the illustrations on this page: answering enquiries that arrive at night, sorting an inbox overnight inside rules you set, checking supplier prices before you buy, flagging low stock, and drafting quotes and reports for you to approve. We agree what to run up front, and add more only by agreement.

What happens to what you built if the retainer stops?

It is built to be handed over. You can take any of it over whenever you want, and whoever takes it over learns it on the programme. What you keep, and how the handover runs, is set out before anything starts.

Who can see our information?

Only what the work needs, and that is agreed before anything starts. You decide what we can see, nothing that spends money or goes out in your name is sent without your approval, and the same checking habits we teach on the programme apply to the work we run for you.
