A young Nigerian/British Engineer, trained in the United Kingdom, Echendu Ndubuisi Endy, is making huge inroads in the UK’s offshore oil and gas industry, through the provision of logistics and other services to the industry.
At age 32, a small company (Echendu Oil and Gas Limited) he started in the UK in 2009; has grown into a multibillion dollar conglomerate, and expanded to three other countries, namely USA, Norway and Ireland.
But Echendu Ndubuisi Endy, has now turned his attention to Africa, and is currently setting up a branch of the company in his home country Nigeria, and also in Ghana, specifically in Takoradi.
With his oil company employing about 300 people including expatriates, the young businessman also employs about sixty-five people in other businesses he owns.​echendu-ndubuisi-endy
In the UK, Echendu Ndubuisi Endy owns a huge supermarket and apartments. In Nigeria he owns several houses and hostels that generate huge income for him.
In Ghana, Echendu, who appears very calm and rarely talks about his wealth, owns warehouses in Tema, Takoradi and Tarkwa, as well as houses and other landed properties.
About Engr Echendu
Echendu Ndubuisi Endy was born on 28th of october1985. People call him Engr Echendu due to his profession and luxury lifestyle.
He is the son of Ex Gen Echendu, who is a Nigerian retired army General. Echendu Ndubuisi Endy, the 7th out of ten children, grew up partly in Rivers and the eastern part of London where he had a very sound basic education.
He loved the Engineering course as a result of his father’s influence and background, but being a stickler for professionalism he decided to study the course first which took him to the prestigious University of (UCL) University College London where he bagged a B.sc degree in chemical engineering in 2007. He proceeded to do his masters in Brunel University London in the year 2010.
Working life
In his own words, he started gradually, and did not have much in his early life, but he believed so much in making it in life.
“I often struggled to make ends meet and even to set up a capital was a financial problem for him.”
He said he managed to turn around his life with a £100 thousand pounds capital which provided him a path to the better future.
Engr Echendu said he was inspired by his mother Mrs Echendu Princess Eukeria’s advice to believe in whatever he does in life. Engr Echendu told citifmonline.com his dream is to create more jobs for many young people.
“My motivation key is my hard work. The most important person who has inspired me is my mother, and also where I started from and where I am heading to. My greatest desire is to help the youth in the world by creating job opportunities.”
“I started business at age 24 with savings I made from hard work. In fact, as far back as primary school, I showed interest in business. I can remember when I was in primary school, I would go and buy Aeroplane toys, and I would start using them just to make money. I was so interested in business even at that time.”

I have tried to measure the contribution of Igbos to the development of the Nigerian project and the conclusion I have reached is that Nigeria must do everything possible to get the Igbos to remain within the Nigerian union. They (Igbos) have contributed unprecedentedly to the development of the country in every sector. They are an exceptional nationality, comprising ‘born’ entrepreneurs, industrialists, academics, adventurists, etc. A Nigeria without this set of people and their drive for economic success might be boring and uninteresting.
In terms of their industrial spirit, the Igbo are probably the only nationality that has built several industrial estates across Nigeria. In 1997, an Igbo engineer, Ezekiel Izuogu, produced Nigeria’s first indigenous prototype car in Imo State. Africa was excited by his ingenuity. However, due to financial constraints and dirty Nigerian politics, the Izuogu Z-600 model could not hit the Nigerian market as a mass produced car. His workshop was later vandalised and his efforts destroyed. The dream died.
Few decades later, another Igbo, Innocent Chukwuma, has launched Innoson cars, making him the first indigenous car producer in and from Nigeria. Anambra and Enugu states alone have over six indigenous estates. By indigenous, I mean industrial estates built by indigenes, and with little or no government support. Nigeria’s first indigenous car is made in one of those estates – in Nnewi precisely.
The industrial estates are hosts to several other indigenous manufacturing companies, including one of the biggest plastic manufacturing plants in Africa.
One would be pleasantly surprised to see what the Igbos are producing in their industrial estates. It will not be wrong to say that Igbos are driving the indigenous manufacturing sector of the Nigerian economy with little or no government support. The first indigenous Nigerian company to produce an internationally certified brand of computers, Zinox, is Igbo, by the name, Stanley Nnamdi Ekeh from Imo State. The Igbos dominate the electronics market and have built a series of ‘computer villages’ across the country. Nigeria’s leading pharmaceutical companies – Emzor, Juhel, Orange, Rico, etc. – are Igbo owned.
Anabel Mobile, the first indigenous Nigerian phone manufacturer, is also Igbo owned. There are several industrial breakthroughs the Igbos have made in Nigeria than I can presently count.
On the level of trade and retail businesses, Igbos are the most successful traders and retailers in Nigeria, and possibly around the world. Across every Nigerian city, they do not only control the major retail markets, but they equally dominate small and medium scale industries, and are synonymous with the description of being ‘importers’.
Their natural inclination towards economic activities has driven them across the globe in search of opportunities. There is hardly a country in the world where you don’t find an Igbo man doing one legitimate or illegitimate form of business. The Igbos have proven to the rest of Nigeria beyond reasonable doubt that they are not lazy people.
In literature, the father of modern African Literature is an Igbo man by the name Chinua Achebe. His work, Things Fall Apart has remained one of Africa’s most read book, which brought international attention to Nigerian literature. Chinua Achebe remains an inspiration to most African writers.
In politics, the Igbo are the only nationality to have successfully executed Nigeria’s first and only political revolution, with the subsequent military coups being merely revenge ploys and schemes for political power.
In 1966, a group of senior Igbo officers forcefully took over power and wiped out a set of corrupt politicians in a bloody putsch. While the Igbos laid the foundation for political revolutions in Nigeria, today they are demanding for an independent nation. The Igbos like to fight for what they believe in and they always do while damning the consequences of this.
The Igbos control a fair share of the oil and gas servicing industry in Nigeria. The biggest indigenous oil servicing contractor in Nigeria today is Igbo-owned. The first indigenous and independently (without any shred of government funding) owned gas power plant was built by an Igbo in Aba – the Geometric Power Limited.
From haulage to logistics, procurement to real estate, finance, sports, entertainment, manufacturing, engineering to medicine, science, etc., the Igbos have been making Nigeria proud, locally and internationally. The Igbos might be arrogant and even exploitative in their quest for profits and expansionism, yet Nigeria can ill-afford to lose them from the union. They technically control the formal and informal sectors of Nigerian economy and they are everywhere making progress, with or without political patronage.
I was surprised to find out sometime last year that Igbos still engage in rural-riverine-onshore trading across the remotest villages of the Niger Delta. In this remote village near the Atlantic ocean in Bayelsa State which is only accessible through water and the air, these entrepreneurial Igbos have designed a floating market. They bring in their goods, dock their big boats once in two weeks, make sales and move to another village along that dangerous terrain – a business idea the indigenes of that area have never considered venturing into. The Igbos are definitely risk takers!
In this community where I have stayed for the past few months in Anambra State, the number of modern houses in this non-industrial, non-commercial small Igbo village is more than I have seen in all the oil communities I have visited in the Niger Delta put together. The Igbos are that successful and they always remember to invest in real estate in their home states.
The Igbo influence in the Roman Catholic Church worldwide is amazing. An Igbo, Cardinal Arinze, was once rumoured to become the first black Pope! The Igbos have a strong affinity with the Roman Catholic church and they have made a mark on the church globally.
Anyone who thinks the Igbos cannot survive as an independent nation might need to have a rethink., and it will be in the interest of Nigeria if they stay.

Just watch how afonja is rampaging all over the place masturbating on this thread, with useless memes, if we invade their useless thread now, they will say we are hating them. Bla bla bla ... Isaac just pronounced their brownie roof ghetto a DEAD zone. They won't say anything to him.
They are busy posting photoshoped photobomb blogging platform AKA cooperate Yahoo Yahoo. We are not disturbing them oooh. Now they are here shouting on what they know nothing about. For the record.
I want us to categorize this into different sectors....
1. Entertainment
2, ICT,
3. Pharmaceutical
4. Hospitality
5. Education
6 manufacturing
7. Transportation
8. Media
9. Fashion and art
10. Research and engineering.
11.retail/ wholesalers
12.haulage and logistics.
13. Sports
14. Real estate.
15.health

Etc..
Let's do a comparative analysis on these areas...
I saw you guys recycling dying Drug field, the only surviving pharmaceutical company belonging to Yoruba. You can not compare that nonsense with the parentral section of Juhel ,the only indigenous of its kind in Nigeria.. I laugh very hard...this people don't know what is hitting them..
You no longer compete with us in banking sector... Never in transportation haulage and logistics, commerce, both online and offline,
Not in pharmaceutical, not in sports,not in hospital not in manufacturing, not in invention etc.. You have an overwhelming edge in media, that's why you make so much noise.
You're now showing us cooperate yahoo yahoo platforms like jobberman etc...tell me who are more fraudulent than these platform.. I know how they use those useless platform to cover up their yahoo business. If Efcc are serious, they should contact me and i will reveal to them those criminals masqureding as entrepreneurial bloggers One was even showing push CV.com mennn I'm tired of these leeches.. What has push CV done for the jobless populace apart from defrauding them? Don't you get me started, you have media at your beck and call that is why you use it to promote even the shoe makers and shirt printers.
I have a friend that has app that delivers gas to people that need them, but we don't show those things but here you are disturbing us with a person that design an app that delivers petrol.
I saw the Tolet. ng. Com a Norwegian cloned platform called Hybnel. No ,
I don't want to dig into your organised yahoo yahoo in Lagos. We know how you operate and use those platform as a cover.
Imagine some of them are even using the opportunity to push their business without advert payment lol. Let me educate you guys, these people come to Aba, with a design and would give them a design of their product, they will run back to Ibadan get a good photographer, photobomb and Photoshop the products put them on social media and lie about it. They should show us their respective workshops.
I think its time we start telling the Aba boys to charge them very well, for they are very ungrateful. They would do a pair of shoe say 1000, then go to Ibadan to sell it 5000k.
If you want to hear what I think,

I think,Yoruba have special skills in defrauding people their hard earned money by cooperative means, like churches where they rip off innocent people in the name of miracle, Babalawo, where human head are harvested in numbers, babaijebu,online gambling betting, ponzi scheme,Platform on how to make quick money, internet job hunts, insurance company scheme,pseudo yaho platform like jobberman, selling of magical melecine,they can sell baboon in place of monkey,and propaganda in media, any other thing na wash. These are the area they dominate. I challenge every afonja on this to prove me wrong. They are not capable of producing what will help humanity.
Often time we hear, Igbo push drugs,kidnapping etc, Igbo are learners, when it comes to crime, they started armed robbery in early 90s whereas shina Rambo,mufu oloshola Babatunde Folorunso, a notorious armed robber who terrorized Ibadan and environs in the late 1960s and early 70s along with Ishola aka baba lace ,Baba of ikorodu and Dr oyenusi ishiola, when you compare them with the most notorious Igbo robber, Derico who happens to be a 2000s crop of rubbers, you will know some people are Grand patron of arm robbery in Nigeria, but have been lying to the people using their media. What about drug barons? The CEO Camal construction, tinubu and wife, abiola,buruji etc are ancient of days group of drug lords,compare them with young igbo that started drug pushing in the early 2000s.kidnapping ,we all know about gbomo gbomo... They head hunt going on a daily basis. Correct me if I'm right, you have been the founder of platforms designed to rip people off their money. You will be at fore front in blackmailing or rubbishing other people, pray tell igbo people get hold to main stream media. They will deal with you mercilessly. It will be a case of Grand Exposé!!
I will advice u create new tread for this, u make alot of sence

Global motor assembling plant Lakki
LAGOS—Globe Motors, a leading auto mobile dealer in the country is set to boost Federal Government’s automotive policy from July when it rolls out first set of vehicles from its $150 million assembly plant in Lagos next month.

Chairman of Globe Motors Holdings, Mr. William Anumudu, who disclosed this in Lagos, yesterday, said the company was putting finishing touches to its assembly plant located at Lekki area, adding that the plant had a capacity for 40,000 cars on completion and would generate employment for 3,500 Nigerians. However, the plant will produce about 6,000 vehicles annually for a start, including passenger cars, pick-ups, high capacity buses and trucks. Anumudu added that another 10,000 jobs would be created indirectly as a result of the multiplier effect of the plant. According to him, the company will start with the production of Semi Knockdown parts, SKD, and later graduate to complete knock down parts, CKD, for Hyundai, Higer and Globe Motors brands. He further explained that the company would be assembling three brands of automobiles, including Hyundai (Korea), Higer (China) and its own brand, adding that the company had signed agreements with the Original Equipment Manufacturers, OEM, of these brands to produce the vehicles to global standards. Commending the government for coming up with a policy for the auto industry, Mr. Anumudu said: “We have made a lot of progress in the new plant. We keyed into the government auto policy, though we were hesitant at the beginning, but we have realized it is the way to the nation’s economic development.”

The Igbos might be arrogant and even exploitative in their quest for profits and expansionism, yet Nigeria can ill-afford to lose them from the union. They technically control the formal and informal sectors of Nigerian economy and they are everywhere making progress, with or without political patronage.
I was surprised to find out sometime last year that Igbos still engage in rural-riverine-onshore trading across the remotest villages of the Niger Delta. In this remote village near the Atlantic ocean in Bayelsa State which is only accessible through water and the air, these entrepreneurial Igbos have designed a floating market. They bring in their goods, dock their big boats once in two weeks, make sales and move to another village along that dangerous terrain – a business idea the indigenes of that area have never considered venturing into. The Igbos are definitely risk takers!
In this community where I have stayed for the past few months in Anambra State, the number of modern houses in this non-industrial, non-commercial small Igbo village is more than I have seen in all the oil communities I have visited in the Niger Delta put together. The Igbos are that successful and they always remember to invest in real estate in their home states.
The Igbo influence in the Roman Catholic Church worldwide is amazing. An Igbo, Cardinal Arinze, was once rumoured to become the first black Pope! The Igbos have a strong affinity with the Roman Catholic church and they have made a mark on the church globally.
Anyone who thinks the Igbos cannot survive as an independent nation might need to have a rethink., and it will be in the interest of Nigeria if they stay.

Another massive investment owned by Igbo man in UK
Clement Onyemelukwe is the Chairman and founder of Colechurch International Ltd

Colechurch International, a project management and project promotion company, was founded in the U.K. in 1976. Our clients have found our extensive experience over decades of operating in third world countries to be an invaluable element in their success.

It takes the best people and best expertise to provide leadership in advancing new project management and promotion solutions in an age of growing technology and increasing capital investment.


Areas of operation

Colechurch operates in four principal areas:

Industry

Infrastructure

Power and Energy

Oil and Gas


Colechurch has specialized in these areas because there are considerable synergies between them. We have used these synergies to grow our expertise and create our uniqueness.

Industry

Colechurch through its project management and its promotion services has since its inception been active in establishing industries in third world countries. The company has the full range of technical expertise required to undertake the planning,design and construction management/ commissioning a wide range of industries both agricultural and manufacturing.

The company's project promotion, arising from our wide project management experience, is the result of our increasing awareness that many third world countries lack the technology, entrepreneurship and finance to develop industrially. Our industrial promotion is intended, instead of just project management, to create projects to be managed with appropriate technologies and packaged into projects and create the appropriate equity ownerships through necessary financing and foreign direct investment partnerships.

Colechurch is in a position and willing to assist with or arrange for external operational management to assist with the initial operation and training because it is our experience that many local industries collapse not long after their establishment due to poor local management.
Infrastructure

Colechurch’s infrastructure portfolio covers a range of activities:

(a) Hotels and leisure industry projects

(b) Shopping malls

(c) Telecoms

(d) Aviation support projects

Each of these activities is in the service sector of the economy and involves increasing application of new information technologies intended to enhance productivity. Colechurch is in a position to promote and finance “build, operate and transfer” (BOT) programs as part of its infrastructure activities.

Colechurch has expertise in these areas to promote training and technology transfer to assist owner-clients in third world to enhance profitability and sustainability.
Power and Energy

The provision of reliable, efficient and cost-effective power and energy continues to be problematic for many third world countries. Many such countries unfortunately look to advanced economy power/energy experts for solving their problems. Power supply design and operation must be adapted to suit local geo-economic needs. When this is not done, power supply becomes expensive and erratic, as in many third world countries.

Equipped with experts in power and energy with varying geo-economic conditions, Colechurch’s project management in power and energy is the best of the crop. Colechurch has experts with experience in thermal, hydro and gas turbine power generation as well as in power transmission and distribution. Colechurch is increasingly taking up positions in alternative renewable energy and working with equipment makers in these fields in many countries to develop renewable energy in solar and wind systems in many coutries that lack traditional energy resources. Colechurch is currently promoting a bio gas power generation based on sand fill in a major west African country.
Oil and Gas

Colechurch's over a quarter of a century old project management in oil and gas, emphasizes cost effectiveness, efficient completion and technology transfer to local personnel. With the extensive range of synergies existing between Colechurch's various technical activities, Colechurch's oil and gas project management is wide and diverse embracing upstream (onshore/offshore) services and downstream project management as well as increasing wide range of chemical activities in a growing range of gas technologies to assist set up a wide and diverse industrial chemical activities (petrolchemicals/fertilizers) as seen in our list of projects undertaken over the years.

Colechurch is combining its industrial project promotion expertise and its oil/gas project management expertise in a new program to assist oil/gas producing third world countries resources to set up industries manufacturing products that are used by the oil/gas industry thus increasing local content in manufacturing and reduction in import dependence. Colechurch, for example, is promoting two oil/gas pipe electrical resistance welding (ERW) and spiral welding pipe mills in Nigeria to supply oil/gas pipes to oil/gas companies in West African oil/gas producing countries. This will help West African economic community serve large foreign exchange in importation of pipes needed to create the required regional gas infrastructure and to provide electricity.

Life vegetable oil owned by Chicason group is produced from non genetically modified seeds and is high in monounsaturated fats. It contains an anti-foaming agent which makes it safe for use in fryers and has a high smoke point making it a versatile oil perfect for both deep and shallow frying. It can also be used in salad dressings, mayonnaise and its neutral taste means it won’t overpower delicate flavours.
