Anthony Onianwah, the founder, President and CEO of Apex Petroleum, has been instrumental in shaping oil and gas landscape across United States and beyond.

The seasoned veteran in the oil and gas industry with over 30 years of experience was born as a part of Nigeria’s baby boom generation (1961) in Ebuta Metta, Lagos State. In the late 1970s, he moved to England before settling in the United States where he established in the oil business.

Anthony has become a prominent figure in the energy industry, garnering admiration and respect from organizations, public officials, and business leaders throughout the region, as well as nationally and globally.

Onianwah bagged a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Howard University, one of the nation’s top-ranked Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as well as Advanced Studies in Economics from the prestigious London School of Economics, highlighting his impressive qualifications.

Onianwah and his company, Apex have received several notable awards and honors, including the "Minority Business Enterprise Energy Company of the Year" award in 2008 from Maryland State Governors Robert L. Ehrlich and Martin O'Malley, as well as Onianwah's personal recognition as a 2013 Top 100 MBE in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The serial entrepreneur shared insight into his career journey and company's path to success and its exciting plans for the future. "I started Apex during my early foray into the entrepreneurship niche in 1994", the ambitious entrepreneur recalled. "The company specializes in the distribution of motor fuel, heating oils, automotive-grade lubricants, and petroleum equipment".


"The company has an extensive wholesale oil distribution network that spans across multiple states, including Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia".

Business / Nigerian Tech Entreprenuer Favour Ori's Payday Raises $3m Led By Moniepoint Inc by bobman22: 3:54pm On Apr 02, 2023
Payday, a neobank issuing global (USD, EUR and GBP) accounts to Africans, has raised $3 million to fuel its “future of work” initiative through borderless payment alternatives in major currencies.

The seed round was led by Moniepoint Inc (formerly TeamApt Inc), the U.S. entity that houses Moniepoint Microfinance Bank and TeamApt Nigeria. Techstars, Angels Touch, HoaQ, DFS Lab’s Stellar Africa Fund, Ingressive Capital Fund II and angel investors such as MFS Africa chief Dare Okoudjou and Norebase CEO Tola Onayemi also participated.

When Favour Ori launched Payday in June 2021, the initial play was to build PayPal for Africa, for which it secured a million dollars in pre-seed funding.

Customers in 11 African countries, including Rwanda, where it first established its headquarters due to its business-friendly environment, had access to the platform and could send money to each other.

Subsequently, the fintech, which became the first Rwandan company to join Techstars (Toronto program) and soon raised a $1.2 million pre-seed extension, learned that enabling cross-border payments was expensive despite. As such, it shut down nine corridors and focused on Nigeria, where it has since witnessed tremendous transaction volume and user growth.

With Payday, African remote workers and freelancers, particularly in Nigeria and Rwanda, can send and receive money in USD, GBP, EUR and 20 other currencies. This allows them and those in the diaspora who work remotely for international organizations to be paid and withdraw money in their choice of currency.

Payday also offers virtual dollar and naira cards (which allow Nigerian users to purchase goods and services on foreign platforms), currency swaps, payment links, local bill payments and peer-to-peer transfers.

“We were the first startup to start issuing virtual accounts in Africa around June 2021, and we’ve done this for over 20 months, so we know what works and understand our market and users.”
Payday ramped up its social media marketing push over the last few months to increase market share, which seems to be paying off. The fintech ended 2022 with slightly over 100,000 users, and now offers its virtual cards and other products to more than 300,000 users. Payday also processes an average of 40,000 transactions daily and over $25 million monthly, numbers that have fetched the fintech a $15 million acquisition offer by one of the continent’s unicorns, which, Ori says, was turned down.

Truth is, Nollywood is the most popular industry after Hollywood and there's no way you would get to the top of the industry without really becoming highly famous across Nigeria

Anyways, congratulations to him

I always advice people, before you judge atleast make research. Even though am not much of a nollywood fan i think have seen his face in some of these nollywood wood especially the yoruba ones. He did one recent movie alongside Segun Arinze and i love his action in the film

Also, with the way the country is, You may not be well appreciated here in Nigeria so its best you travel out and that's why currently there's a huge wave of talents leaving Nigeria every day. It's really sad

Politics / Atiku Is On The Verge Of Becoming Nigeria's Abraham Lincoln by bobman22: 9:44pm On Feb 02, 2023
By Olusegun Adegoke

When Abraham Lincoln declared that he was running for the Office of the President of the United States of America in 1860, his decision was seen by many as yet another opportunity for him to taste defeat. This was a man, who before that time had lost eight elections, failed twice in business, and suffered a nervous breakdown and a series of other incalculable misfortunes.

Yet for some reason, Lincoln went on to win the election in 1861, rising above four other strong contenders who vied for the same position. His reforms were socially progressive such that only a handful of American presidents in the frame of George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt can be ranked close enough to him in terms of achievements. And for over two centuries, Lincoln has been arguably touted as America’s greatest President, and in generic political folklore, he is considered the most progressively persistent statesman that ever lived.


When linked to Nigeria’s contemporary political experience, Atiku Abubakar’s journey to becoming Nigeria’s President resonates more with Lincoln’s attributes of persistence in politics. This is largely evident in the fact that on five occasions, Nigeria’s topmost job has eluded Atiku’s grip, and for some reason, he is still pushing hard to achieve the Holy Grail. This should tell Nigerians something. A student of the prestigious Shehu Yar’Adua political school of thought, Atiku understands the depth, plight, and hue and color of the Nigerian problem. Over time, he has demonstrated this understanding through his expansive distribution of goodwill and public goods.


Since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999, no Vice President in the country has impacted social development like Atiku. During this period, he anchored the economic team that paid Nigeria’s debt and played a huge role in the reformation of the telecommunications and banking sectors. Atiku singlehandedly attracted the best technocrats such as Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Oby Ezekwesili into the Obasanjo’s government to drive developmental strides. As a viable businessman, the former vice president, for over three decades, has created over 50,000 jobs for Nigerians. His penchant for quality education primed him to establish the American University in Yola, the capital of his home State—Adamawa. It is a well-known fact that not many politicians in the country, past or present has contributed more to human and social development than Atiku Abubakar.

The thing about Atiku is that he exemplifies in full stretch what Nigerians need from a President. His experience spans over thirty years of utmost dedication in public service. His cosmopolitan mindset more than anything else augurs well for a multicultural society like ours. From having a kid whom he gave an Igbo name—Ifeanyi and another with a Yoruba name, Bukola. Atiku is not an ethnic bigot like most Nigerian politicians. And no contemporary statesman is as popular as he is, considering that he is very well known in as many local and small towns such as Kantagora, Arochukwu, Obanliku, Ilara to state a few. It is this liberal-mindedness among other things that sets Atiku apart from fellow presidential candidates such as Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu.

The case of Ahmed Bola Tinubu brings on board a whole different dynamic that points to political ruins. His penchant for greed and physical inabilities to manage governmental affairs poses a great challenge. The former Lagos state governor is alleged to be chronically ill from an undisclosed ailment that may incapacitate his performance if elected. His demonstrable incapacity in delivering concise speeches blended with numerous gaffes in his ongoing campaigns have led experts to suggest that the APC leader may be suffering from dementia.

Tinubu’s challenge of a clean bill of health is reminiscent of the Buhari’s experience seven years ago—one where Nigerians voted in a President that largely underwhelmed, partly as a result of his ailing health. But Tinubu’s political malfeasances are way beyond health concerns. He is largely viewed as corrupt and tyrannical with the Lagos state examples in plain sight. Allegedly, he continues to come under fire for milking Lagos State dry and putting the State in an appalling shape as a result of bad debt to the tune of trillions of naira. Tinubu has also been largely accused of constantly imposing his minions to run every affair of the State since the end of his tenure as Governor—a vice many find disturbing and undemocratic in the quest for a progressive Nigeria. Hence, his political strategy will arguably point towards subjecting Nigeria under his tyrannical control.

While Peter Obi, for instance, is in a way considered a strong contender for the 2023 presidential election, the fact remains that the former Anambra State governor lacks the needed national appeal to become Nigeria’s next president. Obi was nothing close to being a great governor in Anambra State as many of his gullible supporters keep suggesting. The revelations made by the current governor of the state, Charles Soludo lends credence here. While Obi keeps enjoying the frenzy of massive social media supports from a cross section of young Nigerians, the realities on the ground suggests that he will come a distant third position in the impending presidential poll.

An Atiku presidency beckons on the horizon, and the mood in the polity confounds to this imminent truth. Beyond anything, he is a far better political choice for the soul of Nigeria compare to the Peter Obi & Bola Tinubu. Like Abraham Lincoln who transformed America’s fate for the better from a deeply tumultuous state, Atiku appears similarly duty-bound to recover Nigeria from the shambles of past political misdeeds. It took persistence for Abraham Lincoln to get to the position of the President where he had the power to end slavery in America, having created civil and social freedom for African Americans. And contemporarily, it is the same nature of persistence we find in Atiku, the kind that will emancipate Nigerians from the shackles of suffering and bad governance. This is why Nigerians should vote for Atiku Abubakar as President in the coming weeks.
