For all Igbo contributors to this post, I say ride on!


Indigenous industries is in our hands...

Show more of our great achievements..

Igbos are great!

In the other thread, what I'm seeing is Yorubas personalities, not industries..

We are great indeed...

Ride on!

You guys are the ones posting nonentities nobodies in place of profiles of highly successful entrepreneurs and industrialists.

At least, you can verify that from my quotes above.

Stop beating empty chest like a chimp.

Olubiyi O. Otegbeye, (popularly known as 'Biyi') B.SC, ACII, MBA, LLB, BL, is a man who likes risks. Despite the fact that he had a secure job as a staff of United Nigeria Insurance Company Limited (UNIC), he tossed it aside and took a plunge into the murky world of corporate business, by setting up his own insurance firm known as Regency Insurance Company in 1993, less than 10 years after he graduated from University of Lagos, with a BSc. in Insurance. Today, his risk has paid off handsomely.



He now serves as Chief Executive Officer and Group Managing Director of Regency Alliance Insurance Company Plc, a consolidated firm, formed from the merger of four other insurance firms: Regency Insurance Plc, Nigerian Alliance Assurance Corporation Limited, Destiny Insurance Co. Limited and Capital Express General Insurance Limited. The merger occurred in 2007, and the new firm was renamed Regency Alliance Insurance Company Plc, with Biyi at the helm of affairs.

He is an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute London (ACII). He obtained his law degree from the Lagos State University, and was admitted to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Prior to setting up Regency Insurance, Otegbeye had received training from the United Nigeria Insurance Company Limited (UNIC), where he worked extensively in Risk Management, General Underwriting, Claims, Reinsurance, Marine and Aviation Divisions. In 1990, he was appointed the General Manager, Capital Asset Insurance Brokers, and less than a year later he was invited to serve as the CEO of Excel Insurance Brokers. Biyi Otegbeye also sits on the board of other firms where he has extensive interests, such as Regency Alliance Insurance Limited, Ghana, RIC Microfinance Bank Limited, RIC Properties and Investment Limited, and RIC Technologies Limited, a leading ICT based security solutions provider for vehicles, offices and homes.



Despite challenges witnessed in the course of operations in the 2016 financial year, Regency Alliance Insurance Plc has declared as an after-tax-profit of =N=470.594 million naira. This margin, according to the company records, was a clear 41.18% increment, compared to its =N=333.931 million naira profit, made the previous year.



The company offers all classes of General Insurance Businesses, such as All Risk insurance, Aviation Insurance, BOND, Burglary, Business Interruption Insurance (Consequential Loss), Contractor’s All Risk Insurance, Directors’ Liability Insurance, Electronic Equipment Insurance, Fidelity Guarantee, Fire & Special Perils Insurance, Goods-In- Transit, Group Personal Accident Insurance, Health Care Professional indemnity Insurance, House Owner/House Holder, Machinery Breakdown Insurance, Marine Insurance.

What about the owner of Largest oil blocks in Africa by an Indigenous African Business man ARTHUR EZE..
The man is no longer a local Champion...

He has covered over 11 African States with his Atlas Oranto petroleum..
Arthur Eze


Description: Net Worth: $5.8 BILLION
Industry: Oil and Gas
Country of Citizenship: Nigeria
Age: 62
Number of Jobs Created: 1,000
Prince Arthur Eze is the Nigerian oil and gas billionaire and
the founder of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, a West African oil
exploration company. With at least 36 oil acreages, it is the
largest holder of oil exploration blocks in Africa. Eze
continues to grow the number of acreages he owns. Two of
his oil blocks alone produce over 100,000 barrels of crude oil
per day. Atlas Oranto Petroleum owns equity and working
interests in several acreages across the Gulf of Guinea,
including Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana,
Mali, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, and the Republic of
Benin.
Known for his shrewd business acumen, Eze acquires acreages
with significant value on the cheap, and farms out portions of
those oil blocks to international oil companies for
substantially higher amounts, when the values of those blocks
increase.
Eze, or Ezenukpo as he is fondly called, is also a political
kingmaker in his native Anambra State and a major donor to
Nigeria’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Eze often
chairs fundraising for political aspirants who he supports, and
gave away close to $100 million to political aspirants in the
last election cycle. He is a prolific and compulsive donor. As
he gets, he gives away. Eze remarked to Ventures Africa that
he isn’t taking anything with him when he passes on so he
will give away as much as he can in the ad hoc manner he
prefers.

How looonatic flatiyeasterners generate stats and figures from their anuses and then put them up as facts is beyond me. Especially where several means of busting their useless facts and figures abound.

How can Arthur Eze own the largest oil fields in Nigeria? How can he be worth $5.8Billion and yet Forbes have never profiled him, not even once?

The above have made nonsense your post altogether.

Oyekanmi Hassan-Odukale MFR, was groomed for success at a very early age. He attended Mayflower School, Ikenne in Ogun State (which was a boarding school run by the late Tai Solarin and his wife, Sheila), and later got Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Business Administration, specializing in Finance, from University of Houston, Texas, USA. He started his insurance career with SCIB & Company Insurance Brokers (then an affiliate of Sedgwicks Insurance Brokers) in 1980, and joined Leadway Assurance Company Limited in 1981.



The company was founded by his late father Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale, in Kaduna. He was the founding Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, who built Leadway on a solid reputation of integrity, and excellence. Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale, a knight of John Wesley (KJW) and fondly called 'Baba Odukale,' within the Nigeria insurance industry, community and Methodist family, passed on 17 years ago.

He was a Christian entrepreneur and philanthropist to the core, who revolutionized the insurance industry and set the standard for modern philanthropy, especially in Northern Nigeria. In appreciation of his efforts, the Methodist Church of Nigeria named its institute after him by giving it the name: Sir Olusola Hassan Odukale Methodist Theological Institute, Zonkwa in Kaduna State. The old man served as the Chairman of Leadway Assurance Company from 1993 till 1999, when he passed away.

Today, his son Oye Hassan-Odukale has not only nutured his father's dream and legacy, but expanded the company, to become one of Nigeria’s most profitable insurance firms. The little firm has now grown to include different subsidiaries such as Leadway Capital & Trusts Limited, Leadway Properties & Investments Limited, Leadway Pensure PFA, and Leadway Hotels Limited. Oye's brother, Babatunde Hassan-Odukale a graduate of the University of London, also sits on the board and serves as Executive Director (Financial Services & Systems).

Leadway is known for providing ‘efficient financial solutions leveraging on its management tool to its' clients.' It has risen to become a composite company, underwriting both life and general insurance business. The company’s financial capacity has enabled it to now underwrite risks of very high magnitude, with respect to heavy industries, such as Oil and Gas including big manufacturing concerns. It also offers subsidiary financial services like Bond, Secured Credit, Miscellaneous financial losses and Fund/Portfolio management.



At last count, Leadway Assurance's assets had hit =N=137 billion naira, while its' profit after tax for 2015, was =N=6.2 Billion naira.

Leadway Assurance Company Limited has said its assets rose by 37 per cent from =N=100.5bn in 2014 to =N=137.3bn in the 2015 financial period. This was disclosed by the Acting Chairman, Mr. Jeremy Rowse, during the company’s 44th annual general meeting in Lagos. He said that the claims paid by the firm rose by 13 per cent from =N=12.7bn in 2014 to =N=14.3bn in 2015.

Rowse disclosed that its gross premium rose by 20 per cent from N39bn in 2014 to N46.6bn in 2015, and that its profit after tax rose by 125 per cent from N2.8bn to N6.3bn in the period under review.

He said, “With various guidelines aimed at reinforcing standards and encouraging confidence in the Nigerian insurance industry, the company remains poised to take advantage of emerging growth opportunities to compete effectively within its immediate market and the larger global markets. http://punchng.com/leadway-assurances-assets-hit-n137bn/



In 2016, Swiss Re took up about 25% shareholding in Leadway Assurance. Swiss Re is the world’s second-largest reinsurer. It acquired GE Insurance Solutions in 2006. Founded in 1863, Swiss Re operates through offices in more than 25 countries. Swiss Re was ranked 118th in Forbes 2000 Global leading companies 2016.

Yeah, I know what you mean. wink For Swiss Re the world's 2nd largest insurance company, to have bought over about 25% shareholding in Leadway Assurance, they must have seen something unique in that firm. Millions of dollars must have changed hands in that transaction, but no one is ready to disclose the exact figures! cheesy

All the same, they have started swallowing the humble pie.

But we must never stop feeding them with it because they have short memory. Before you know it, they will go back to their empty chest beating mode.

Sorry, you need to translate what you just wrote here, because it is not making sense. undecided Leadway has only been profiled once in this thread, while Regency Assurance has not even been featured at all till now. So what are you blabbing about? Do you think this thread is like your own, where you keep blabbing Innoson, Teragro, Aiteo and Nestoil over and over on almost every page, like a broken record?
