100 Products That Have Stayed In Nigeria For 100 Years by Nmeri17: 10:00am On Aug 30, 2013
I hope i'm posting in the appropriate section because i really need help very urgently.

Someone came to the business center this morning and said he wanted us to search the internet for something and that he will collect it by 2pm this afternoon.

He paid a huge sum of money to show seriousness before leaving.

The thing we're to search for is: "100 products that have stayed in Nigeria for 100years".

I have exchanged the keywords with every single synonym in my head and searched google all to no avail.

Please anyone with knowledge of a site i can get help from will be appreciated.

Even 50 products ma sef is okay.

Biko i'm desperate

1. You are not desperate.
Reason - You have not offered any money for the service even though you have charged hugely for it

2. You are not serious (no disrespect intended).
Reason - Nigeria is 53 years old.

But if you are serious and desperate, I will give you a list of 100 companies that have existed for the past 100 years. You can then figure out the products.
Fee: N25, 000 only.

Are you serious & desperate? I guess as much. angry

This is Nigerian Politican behaviour on a small scale. Someone said if you remove 100 politicians and replace with 100 random Nigerians, Nigeria will still remain the same. People complain that it's the people at the top, when we (Nigerians) are the problem. Someone gets a contract to build roads and the default attitude is "What's in it for me?". Someone asks a question on a forum and the default attitude is "What's in it for me?". Nigerians have no right to insult politicians because they would do exactly the same in their position, as they share exactly the same thinking. Better to say nothing.

Back to the question: Lever Brothers (Now Unilever ) are a pretty old brand in Nigeria, but I don't think their products have been around for 100 years, as the British started bringing these companies in a few years after amalgamation, 99 years ago.

Old brands in Nigeria (at least 50 years old) are ones like Blue Band, Lux, Star beer, Bata, Leventis, Bic. I'll put some more down if I remember.

Unilever (then Lever Brothers) came to Nigeria in 1923, and as one of the first, their product range in Nigeria is 90 years old this year.

Here's a link to their history in Nigeria: http://www.unilevernigeria.com/aboutus/ourhistory/Default.aspx

Blue Band Margarine and Close Up toothpaste are also from them. I'm still looking for more products.
