KADUNA, North-West, Nigeria – An online advertising company, Fred and Farid (FF), on Sunday held it’s offline meeting with employees and interns in Kaduna.
The meeting coordinated by Frank Etim’s Team tagged: “FF towards Financial Freedom and Empowerment” drew participants from far and near with the aim to train the interns on basic understanding of the company’s information and all the money-making right of its regular employees.
The FF is an independent creative advertising network company founded in 2000 in Paris. It focuses on providing professional advertising videos creation and promotion services for brands in various industries round the world.
The FF has established strategic partnerships with well-known brands such Louis Vuitton, Nike, Porsche, Starbucks, and Coca-cola.
Speaking on how he got attracted to the company, the FF Team Lead in Kaduna, Brig.-General Francis Etim (Rtd), said he got involved through a lady he met on his WhatsApp page, but was adamant initially because he has always been skeptical about all internet stuffs like hers, more so, as so many people have been scammed.
He however, said with the insistence of the lady after three months prodding him to register and if not satisfied could opt out of the platform, he decided to give it a try. Etim explained: “I registered and I saw N800.00. I then continued the internship for four days and I got over N2,000. And I said wow!”
According to him, as a retired Brig.-General the pressure of daily finance weighed much on him – from family members and friends alike. So, he decided to reduce the burden by introducing his friends to FF, and today he’s happy he did.
Etim added: “Thank God I did it. I have about 46 people on my link now and most of them are not disturbing me again. I want to bring FF down to the grassroots – communities so that people will learn how to empower themselves.
“The situation in the country today makes it most difficult to depend on someone and be sure of what to get. But, on FF platform one can cash out at least N600.00 daily. This will enable you buy little things for yourself and family, and you don’t need to go and beg anyone. So, I thank God I’m empowering people and intend to empower more.”
On the job of the interns, Brig.-Gen Etim (rtd) said, it is simple, “Accept tasks assigned by the FF work platform, watch advertising content from world-renowned brands, increase brand exposure, enhance brand awareness and industry status, and achieve the lowest cost publicity effect.
“For each task you complete, the FF platform will charge a certain fee to the brand, of which 30% – 40% will be paid to the online employees who complete the task as a reward.”
One of the FF employees, Ms Stephanie Azong Isang, a graduate of the Kaduna Polytechnic (KadPoly), who’s equally into fashion designing said the platform has really help her in no small measures.

According to her, whenever she runs short of cash, the platform comes in handy to get one or two things for daily sustenance. She recommended the platform for the teeming Kaduna youth who are looking for a way to financial freedom to come register under FF platform.
Similarly, another FF employee, Hon. Rabiu Mohammed from Kakuri in Kaduna South Local Government Area, who said he was also introduced to the platform by Brig.-Gen Etim (rtd), affirmed that his life has indeed improved from what it used to be.
He encouraged other people to register on the platform because he is a witness to the benefits accrued from FF.
