A Nigerian is in the world news again but this time not for something despicable, But rather for designing the most expensive suit ever sold. It's our very own Alexander Amosu! Remember him? Yeah, the guy with the cockney accent in the Dragon's Den series. A program that was sponsored by UBA and aired sometime last year on many TV stations across Nigeria. I remember he was the same guy that was involved in the pimping of cell phones in the U.K sometime back with some of his phones even selling as much as 10,000 pounds. I watched his interview with Richard Quest of CNN and I was indeed very impressed. I heard someone who wants to remain anonymous has purchased it for a whooping 100k!

Kudos Amosu & keep the flag flying!!!!
