dunno but this seems like the banking competition has taken a new dimension. bank PhB vs UBA

Well, good news about Dragon's Den coming to this part of the world. I think there are a lot of ideas brewing in our society. My only concern is whether we can really find the right mix of technical competence, brand development skills and current marketing strategy. Seun, well done, you are really outdoing yourself. MsMs, word up. Maybe we can use this to create an original reality theme that would appeal to a broad section of the Nigerian market and at the same time develop into a global brand,

WITH mn IN THERE, I SMELL A

Hi Peps, Word on the street, ok not on the street but the word around my area is that one of the greatest primetime talent Nigeria has ever produced is making a comeback on Dragons Den as a Dragon. I swore not to unleash this Dragon before the official date but I am sooooo tempted to,

and who might that be meanwhile a friend of mine is shortlisted but i am yet to recieve a call to come for an interview are u sure this is sincere

With mtn, it's real! I see this as a competition against bank pHb and celtel

Let's hope the organisation of the show is SERIOUS as well

The dragons are John Momoh, Femi Tejuosho, a white guy called Chris from the UK, a lady a Nigerian based in the UK called Alex.

I know a chap that just came back from the den. He posted his report here.

why are those guys hoarding 411 on their website?

for most items i clicked on, it was always ", shall be revealed soon"

I was in the Dragons Den and came out in one piece. I'd share my experience on my personal blog soon enough.

Hi Peps,

A peek at the Nigerian "Dragons attached!, you couldn't possibly imagine (SEUN!!) how far i had to go to get you nairalanders this exclusive never seen anywhere as of yet! Note: All Dragon's Den info is under very strict confidentiality as a result of some shady other bank in "EKO" trying to ripp-off the tv show been out bidded by UBA & MTN . I am sure Storm would make a clear dinstinction of it off the back of The Apprentice

nairaland :d

We hope so

The show, with Neil Oyenekan as series producer, will make its debut on the Africa Independent Television (AIT) on August 3, 2008. Ogunpitan mentioned piracy and theft of intellectual property as major hurdles in the industry. "You can't imagine how Nigerians are bastardising and basically stealing other people's properties, changing the name and calling it something else. We had that experience with all the major productions we had handled lately. I would like to ask those who are involved in protecting intellectual property in the country like the Nigerian Copyright Commission, National Film and Video Censors Board, Ministry of Justice and others that the situation is getting out of hand in the country. Piracy is not the only issue that is affecting us now, but the theft of intellectual property, and the fact that some people do it and get away with it. It is quite unfortunate." [/url]

is it 27th of July or 3rd of august?
why cant they ever stick to a particular date
hope this wont be like intern2 that's supposed to be on from 'early July'

I would bet my right arm that Dragon's Den is light years away from the Intern or inferior likes. I was priviledged to be at the private screening at Eko Hotel last week with the press. I've seen nothing like it before on Nigerian TV (seriously!!) it's just different from what's out there right now.

And yeah! it debut's across Africa tonight 27th July 2008 in a few hours. Hope light dey your area ooo

Msms


why didn't you post the time na?

The link I pasted there was from The Guardian Newspaper Nigeria, so who 's lying now

It doesn't make sense hoarding info on the webpage

i have a feeling most entrepreneurs will be asking for millionss not one or two million; 20milla gidigba! fear go catch them dragons sef Grin

it's started already I'm loving it already, not too far from the original
plus like i guessed loads of dreamers asking for 20million and above
even when they don't know what a percentage equates too!!
so far no luck, but load of dreamers!

I am currently watching it on AIT and na so so 419 full there.

One guy came there with two coconuts and coconut oil, asking for three
sums which he added up to 35 million naira, but when the dragons added it up,
it came to 34 million.

Just jokes man. . .

Even the UBA advert managed to misspell Tenure as Tenor.

Na wa for Naija.

Kai. . .see this Mallam.

He has just told the panel there is no need for the hotel
he is asking to be funded.

lol da mallam said the people live in their house!!
so why the hell do they need a hotel? cute suite ko cute thief ni
he was expecting real dragons too

@ doyin13
don't know what UBA stuff you're talking about but I think tenor is the right word in terms of loans repayment or returns and sort.
I stand corrected.

@show
I need to be reassured this isn't stage-managed.
Well, maybe b'cos I didn't get to hear much 'bout it before yesterday.

@cola

Now don't i feel like a schmuck

The egg is splattered all over my face. . .lol

So much confusion

I saw it on AIT after the Pompey - Maun u game but I couldn't watch


Now, we know itz 9.45pm on Sunday night on AIT


Is't just once a week

Good show.

My Monday evenings is not complete without watching Theo and the gang

looking for money

that woman with lover whispers or something like that, should do her research properly
she had no energy not motivated enough, obviously the people offering 'free' counselling
in church are not really qualified and that's where she comes in, and she can do with speaking up clealy
what's the point of going to university to be a timid housewife!!!


The software dude, the blew it he was close but like the rest of them they just don't do the basics
he didn't register his company and he is asking for 25M
he also could have just said he has talked about exclusivity with the manufacturers and they are positive about it
