The Deloitte in Nigeria is a merger between Akintola Williams's accounting company, Akintola Williams & Co and Deloitte

Deloitte is an old British-owned company

Sim Shagaya's full first name is Simdul. I don't think that's a Yoruba name and I have no idea what Shagaya means in Yoruba

Sim shagaya is angas from plateau state.

Fantastic job guys

Bifwoli:
But the Igbos are better businessmen overall ,these folks here might have 2 billionaires and the rest are 35m beggars but the Igbo are more level overall with lesser inequalities.

You mean dustin powder level? Tell me more.

Markfemi2:
Chai
Yorubas will eventually let igbos die due to envy

Pls head to this thread and let's expose Igbo history they are always excited to say lagos is for Benin but they deny onitsha is for Benin
I have attached evidence
Pls attach more

What are you trying to achieve with that thread? You tend to create so many irrelevant threads all over the place draging yorubas into fights that doesn't concern them. If onitsha like let it belong to futa jalon how is that yoruba business?

BEHIND THE BRAND: WILSON’S JUICE COMPANY

BY EYITEMI POPO  

The first time I saw Wilson’s lemonade in a Lagos store, I assumed it was a new American drink. I was intrigued to find out the juice was the brainchild of two young Nigerian brothers, Seyi and Seun Abolaji, and even more shocked when I learned it was made in Nigeria. I sat with one of the brothers, Seun Abolaji to find out more about Wilson’s Juice Company. Their first product, Wilson’s lemonade, is growing in popularity and can now be found in over 140 locations in Nigeria.

Tell me a little bit about your background.

I was born in Nigeria and moved to the United States as a child. I lived in Colorado and then moved to Atlanta for college where I attended Emory University. I have a doctorate in Pharmacy and was living in Brooklyn, New York prior to moving to Nigeria.

How did the idea for Wilson’s lemonade come about?

I moved back to Nigeria and first began working with palm kernel, but that business fell apart. I then thought of doing orange juice. Anyway, one day I saw fresh lemons in the market and said to my friends, “Wow. I haven’t had lemonade in a while.” So we made a fresh batch and a neighborhood kid walked up to us and asked what we were making. We let him taste some and he liked it. He came back a few minutes later with four other people and that’s how it started.

How did you go from concept to reality?

We started off with a plastic lemon squeezer and we would hand squeeze the fresh lemons. We would sell lemonade in cups and we actually made pretty good money doing that. We had eleven people working with us, but it was hectic. We just couldn’t make it quickly enough and it was hard to keep track of what we sold so I suggested bottling it. We made our first ten bottles and only sold two. Our staff wanted us to just stick to cups, but I insisted on bottling the lemonade and it soon caught on.

We were initially using recycled bottles, but we wanted our bottles to be distinct. We had a mold created in China, which we use to produce our bottles here. Everything is produced in Nigeria; the bottles, the lemons, the hibiscus flower (zobo) we use for our pink lemonade, and the pure cane sugar. It’s all natural and all Nigerian.



What’s your dream for the brand?

We want our brand to serve as a healthy, all-natural alternative to what’s currently available. So many juices on the market are filled with concentrate and sweeteners, which aren’t good for you. We also want our brand to show that young people can create something that’s cool, fun, fresh, locally-made, and quality.

What is your greatest challenge right now?

There are so many challenges. Talent for one thing. It’s hard to find good people. We have managed to do that up to this point. We have a good team, but as we grow, finding talent is a struggle.

Another major challenge is distribution. It would be great to just focus on manufacturing and have someone do the distribution, but we might end up having to distribute ourselves.

Marketing and creating brand awareness are also challenging. Convincing people to give you shelf space and then getting the customer to buy your product are challenges. People say “You guys are everywhere!” but we are not.

How have you positioned your brand to be competitive not only with locally-made products, but imported ones as well?

It starts from the bottle. You already see the difference in the shape and label. We are also trying to tell a story with our products, so you’ll see that the label has a short story on it. When the product was being approved for the Nigerian market, we were encouraged to take off that story. The lady said “You are wasting your time. Nigerians won’t even read it.” However, we have found that customers have connected with the product from that story.

And of course, we have positioned our product as a healthy alternative to what’s out there.

What’s next? Where do you see your brand in the next two years?

In the next two years we will have more flavors of our lemonade, other juices, and even other products. There is more to come. There are many challenges, but the key is to be consistent.

What about this combo

Stop being a tribalistic bigot.

I am Yoruba by the way

Nobody ask you if you're yoruba or not, just make your point and move on.

Ultimate News investigations have uncovered a Ghanaian-Nigerian syndicate that lures girls from Nigeria into prostitution under the pretext of securing them jobs in Ghana.

The girls who are between the ages of 13 and 30 are persuaded of lucrative jobs in the country but end up in brothels in Asafo a suburb of Kumasi noted for prostitution.

They are threatened, oppressed and forced to offer sex for money. Money that goes to overlords whom they call madams.

The girls are forced to go through blood rituals whereby hair on their vagina, head and blood from their fingers, finger nails are used for concoction.

They drink the concoction as a point of kowtowing to the dictates of their madam who is also a prostitute named Vivian Nkechi. As part of the oath taking, they are threatened to die if they run away.

There is stiff competition between Ghanaian and Nigerian prostitutes in Adum, Tafo, Pankrono and Sokoban village over clients.

Some of the girls in an interview with Ultimate FM said they had an agreement that of receiving allowances but their madam has reneged on her promise.

‘We really want to go back to Nigeria, we are suffering but we have ran out of money, after sleeping with men, she takes the money without given us any, we are owing our land lords, as if its juju, anytime we get money, we give everything to her without saving, maybe they use charm,’ they told Ultimate FM.

Ultimate FM secret cameras captured packets of condoms, bottles of hard liquor and cigarettes were inside their rooms.

The girls who charge between GH¢50-100 depending on the duration of ‘sexual intercourse’ had ‘dressed to kill’ waiting for their clients. Some of them also go to the various Night Clubs in search of clients.

The little ones are made to wear wigs in order to appear as adults to prevent police from harassing them.

Some of them who have been in the country for the past two-three months confessed of making money between GH¢200-GH¢350 a day.

The girls told Ultimate FM their families in Nigeria are not aware of the work they are involved in calling on the police to arrest their madam.

Ultimate FM sources within the police say the police anti trafficking unit are aware of the development but treats the issue with kids gloves.

Lol! Just say you no he's lying

Joavid:
I don draw my conclusion long before this thread. find someone else to troll as to make yourself feel better. not me.

Troll! really? I forgot you're just as ignorant as the rest. Don't bother replying so you can feel better too.

Joavid:
Another thread that further proves that "There's no hope for Nigeria"!

This thread is full of lies and mis information. You should try and do your own research before you draw conclusion.

This Op need to go and do proper research before posting. The ignorance displayed on this thread is mind boggling. Ghanaian cedi and zambian kwacha one of the strongest currencies in africa? They are artificially strong because of the redenomination. The purchasing power is still the same with the old currency.

jakandeola:
I did cos u are a south africans

See reasoning.... So you want her to do what exactly?

pythonkid:
typical yoruba human being

Typical ibo thinking

deedeedee1:
But the country was created by the British. Why cant you allow the igbos go? What exactly are you benefiting from them? Since stopping them 50 years ago, how has nigeria been since then? Does nigeria have good health care system, good roads, good education? What exactly did you benefit in stopping them 50 years ago? Since the igbos feel they can do better by themselves why not allow them go? And baba i am not igbo but i support them to have their country since they have the confidence that they will do better on their own. I really love their confidence and with such confidence, i must say the sky is the limit for them. I believe believe biafra will be a successful country.

I am not igbo, I am not igbo, I am not igbo. Abeg na who ask you? Bloody liar.

eph123:
That is the complex bothering a number of these guys, cos if not, you wonder how a person will go on rampage on a thread absolutely not his business. People adopted the option of ignoring his comments and that really was the most sensible thing to do. No point engaging an aggressive person and bringing yourself to their level.

Sometimes you begin to wonder what they are trying to achieve by arguing over irrelevant things.

He was clearly trying to derail the thread. The number of pshyco's on nairaland just keep on growing.

It's a public forum, not akwa ibom forum so get over yourself.


Or you dd not see your lying brother above you crying over Metro rail in Lagos state?

Hypocrite.

Continue embarrassing yourself bro.

deomello:
1. Lagos Metro construction started in 2012 and this is 2017 so construction is only 5 years old, obviously you know nothing about the project or you just have poor and questionable Arithmetic skills.

It took even many advanced countries ore than a decade to complete theirs. India's is almost 2 decades and still under construction so Lagos can postpone completion as much as they want, fact remains that construction is ongoing non stop.

2. Lagos Metro is the largest public works and construction project in Nigeria and Africa with a 10 lane 54 klm freeway, rail stations, BRT access and metro bridge under construction over the Lagos Lagos.

3. It is silly, ridiculous and absurd to compare a major and on going project with a ghost project in Akwa Ibom that doesn't exist and used to steal funds. Do you lack sense of logical reasoning or you are just incapable of logical comparisons?


Instead to question where your money went, you are questioning Lagos state where they really have an ongoing project that the people of Lagos see under construction everyday and all day.

Instead to ask why Lagos state is constructing 2 deep seaports while your own funds budgeted for ibaka seaport was stolen and ibaka remains a sorry dream and corruption basket.

Sometimes I just wonder about you people and your warped sense of reasoning.

This thread is about akwa ibom, please don't make it lagos vs akwa ibom.

Why is it so difficult for you to stay in your lane? I'm sorry to say you are a very biiiiig foool.
