BusinessRe: Nigergrob Ceramics Ogun:What I Found In An Abandoned Factory Established In 1974 by borie4u(m): 4:40pm On Jul 09
SixSeven:
Exactly what came to my mind. I am just surprised by the OP saying the 1993 person is that old grin


Nigergrob Ceramics Limited was a notable ceramic manufacturing industry located in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Established in the 1980s, the company became the subject of major Nigerian corporate and legal cases, including a landmark receivership case (U.B.A. Trustees Ltd v. Nigergrob Ceramics Ltd) regarding the extent of receiver and director powers. Financial distress and that litigation eventually led to its closure, turning it into a textbook legal authority for Nigerian corporate insolvency frameworks under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).



Story of their death:
In the early 1980s, Nigeria was trying hard to build up its local industries. A company called Nigergrob Ceramics built a big factory in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Their plan was to make floor tiles, wall tiles, and bathroom sinks locally because the construction business was booming. To buy all their heavy machinery and set up the factory, they borrowed a huge amount of money from United Bank for Africa. The bank managed this loan through U.B.A. Trustees Limited. As security for the loan, Nigergrob signed a contract that gave the bank the right to seize the factory and all its equipment if they failed to pay the money back.


Everything started well, but the late 1980s and 1990s brought tough economic times. The national power grid became very unreliable. Ceramic factories need their ovens to run constantly, so Nigergrob had to spend a lot of money on diesel generators. At the same time, the cost of raw materials went up, and they could not find local technicians to fix their complex machines. Production stopped, and the company completely ran out of money. Since Nigergrob could not pay back its debt, U.B.A. Trustees stepped in, locked the factory gates, and hired a legal manager called a receiver to take over everything and sell it off to get the bank's money back.


The original owners and directors of Nigergrob refused to leave quietly. They took the bank to court, arguing that the bank had no right to strip them of their authority. This became a famous legal battle called U.B.A. Trustees Ltd v. Nigergrob Ceramics Ltd. The case went all the way to the Court of Appeal. The judges finally ruled that when a bank takes over a broke company, the bank's manager gets full control of the business and the assets, but the original directors still keep a few basic rights, like the power to fight the takeover in court. Sadly, while the lawyers argued for years, the expensive factory equipment just sat there and rusted. Nigergrob never reopened, and the factory in Abeokuta remains abandoned to this day.
Nigergrob Ceramics died because the bank seized their factory over unpaid debts, while severe power outages and a crashing Naira made manufacturing too expensive to survive.
When i open mouth and tell people tgat if u are born in Nigeria and your parents are not polithievian then life is leading you. If u set up a business natural nigeria condition will never allow it to grow. If you love urself just look for money and travel legally to USA, Canada, UK or any Good European country. If u keep wasting time like me that was saying Nigeria will be better for 40years until i wake up and said enough is enough and JAPA. Na there i know say nobody dey do me but na just Nigeria killing dreams of future leaders. Everybody cant be Peller or Content creator. See as a good business just collapse with no help from the goverment.

TravelRe: Things You Realise After 1 Year In The UK That Nobody Prepared You For by borie4u(m): 7:51am On May 24
Rosexpress:
Nobody writes this list so I will.

1. The cold is not just weather. It is a personality. It will change you.
2. You will spend the first 3 months converting every price to naira. Stop. You will not survive.
3. Nigerian food exists here but it will cost you emotionally and financially.
4. You will miss the most random things — the noise, the heat, the fact that someone is always around.
5. Sending things home is harder than it should be. Finding a reliable cargo service is a genuine life skill.
6. Your Nigerian friends here will become your family faster than you expect.
7. The NHS is genuinely free and it will confuse you every single time.
8. You will buy a coat, think it's enough, and be humbled by February.

What else would you add? And for number 5 — anyone use REDS (usereds.com)? Curious if others have tried them for UK→Nigeria and Nigeria→UK cargo.
So many things you didnt list so i will help you.
9. The uk is made up of 4 countries each uses the pounds and have their seperate pounds denomination. All are accepted in various country. English 10pounds is different from Scottish 10 pounds. Infact in Scotland they have like 4 different 10 pounds. One by Bank of Scotland , another by Cylde Bank, Another by Royal Bank of Scotland.
10. Each countries in the UK have tgeir own head of Government like president but they still report to west minister in England headed by the prime minister Keir Starmmer.
11. Even though they all speak english with differnt variety they also have their local language like welsh and Gaelic. Someone from Liverpool can not communicate with Someone from NewCastle. The worst i heard is Glasgow Accent with Nay and Aye. It may talk u forever to hear a word from Glaswegian.
12. Weather is different warmer in England that is why alot of Nigerians go to London England but coldest in Scotland like Aberdeen and Dundee. In june you could see the sun shining at 10pm and sun up at 3am. In december it is dark by 4pm till 8am.
13. You pay compupsory tax and National insurance. If your hourly wage is 10£ and you work 10 hours. By calculation you should get 100£ but no. NI and tax can bring the money to 65£-80£. That is your take home and you cant fight anybody.
14. U may be fine for spitting or urinating by bush side. It is antisocial behaviour and u could pay from 100 -150£ for spitting and urinating in public can make u a sex offender. Its better to piss for body than bring JT out to piss.
15. U can live in a building for 10yrs and not know your next door neighbour. U can even die in your house for a year and nobody will know.
16. Yoruba says work doesnt kill but poverty kills. Not in the UK, i have seen autospsy result where cause of death is overwork. People dey die from working too much.
17. Its better to be hungry than to be homeless, i have never seen fan or Air con in the UK. Just open your window and tgey no burn u well u no ho sweat. Every house has heater and if your central heater is not working, your landlord must provide u a temporary one in 12hours. You can happily sue him if there is none. Cold kills faster than heat. Even the oyinbos never get used to cold hence dont expose your self to cold

TravelRe: Anti Japa Crew Vs The Japa Crew, Who Is Lying? by borie4u(m): 2:44pm On Mar 12
SpreshMan:
I recently got conditional offers from most schools in the Uk, one is starting in May and I have also deferred one to the September but my mind wants to go for the one in May.

However the kinds of arguments I read online about whether or not Japa is worth has got me confused.

I know about minimum wage being about 12-15 pounds and maximum of 20 hours per week, I know work visa after graduation has been reduced to 18 months and even the condition for ILR being extended last year.

So I’m seeking advise from people would be Honest whether it would be worth it to spend around 21 million to embark on this journey and still have a debt of close to 10 million naira since I’m paying half of the school fees. Will it be worth it ?

Are the people preaching against japa being honest ?
I will advise you on your situations. U see things are not what it seems to the eye. If u are travelling to the uk for studies u are 3 years late because you will come alone without partner. If u could come with ur partner it would have been better because it is easier for ur dependant to get a job while you can manage menial jobs for 20hrs. 20hrs will only pay for food n transport and not ur rent or school fees. That is where your wife or partner would have come in. After graduation you will pay 3k pounds for your poststudy for 18months which is not bad. To get a job is very hard because of uk experience but its a 50 50 thing because u will have to work hard to survive. If u come in to scotland it is a bit better to get a job with NHS. If u have a health related degree its much better but all in all it is safer than naija where one fulani idiot can kidnapp u and collect the 20million with correct beating self

I asked someone to let me know about his next house rent he said it's due already and few weeks after paying his rent he mentioned his birthday and it will continue like that for ever.
Most times many people dont understand the challenges faced by people abroad. They just think that once u are abroad u will be swimming in money. If u know how people abroad work u go pity them. U go shook ut head. U dont even have any suppprt system. If u out of job for 1 month u go almost have hypertension. People that wake up in the morning to go do menial job still send the money to help friends only to find out that they now want to turn them to atm. U cant even ask ur friend in naija to help u do something. Dey go bill u like nothing. Some go say he has money na. U set up business in naija, they go thief everything and say the owner dey abroad, he go make the money again. None of those people will be able to work in that extreme cold, do kitchen porter/ ware house job to start with. Some people even has debt that they are settling but immediately people hear that u are in abroad the billing start. No one is genuinely concerned about how u are getting on in a strange land. No matter how u help them when u say u dont have u become a bad person without thinking of those times u helped. Abroad is not easy. If u are not a die hard u go pick ur load say u no do again. Immigration wahala dey dia. Uk experience self dey dia. One person go con dey say u dey bone them.

voiceunheard:
He caused me financial harm. Delayed/deprived me from taking proper steps to get out of my situation with his promise. And then ignored me for months.

I never said he owe me, neither did I ask him for financial assistance in the first place. Since his promise won't work, he could have let me know on time rather than keeping me stranded for months.

I asked him several times if it will work, and he ignored me completely. I have no option than to report him, at least he can't ignore the church headquarters that I reported him to.
Well u were wrong to have reported him to the headquarters though what he did was bad. Reporting him means u want to stop hid livelihood and he wont take it likely with u. U want to stop him from eating. Like everyone said no one owes u a dime if u didnt keep any with them. If the padtor was owing u money u can report him to jupiter for not giving u your money. Man dey promise and fail. As a full adult u are responsible for any decision u take even if the man inflyence u to make a wrong decision. Nothing stops u from collecting ur money at the ststion before relying on promises by paztor. Now for u to have reported tgst pastor something tangible most have been given to him. Did he sleep with u? If yes then it is another case n tgat is the only tsngible reason a woman coukd have such entitlement as reporting pastor to his oga

The pastor don't owe me neither did I ask for financial assistance from him before he made an expensive promise. Delayed/deprived me from taking proper steps to get out of my situation. He even asked me not to report people who threw my belongings out to the police and made the promise with confidence as if the money is already in his account. I asked him several times without number "will his promise work?" If it won't work, let me forget about it, but he kept ignoring me. Assuming he told me earlier that it won't work, it won't have affected me this way.

Before someone will make such an expensive promise to someone in distress, the person supposed to think twice. He didn't even say he will support me with what I have, he promised to pay for everything.
Na women dey get this entitlement mentality like the pastor owed u a dogsh..t. We the citizen of Nigeria way Tulumbu promised us better life and he no do am did we report him to satan. Noone hold u a dime if u havent kept something with them. Moreover u didnt tell us the full story.
