Ignorance at its peak, use google and toyota franchise in nigeria

Not everybody is Igbo, this is a faceless group where people can claim to come from anywhere all to instigate hatred and ridicule, don't be surprised he's Yoruba who wants his people to ridicule Igbos because of this thread

Learn to be matured

AutoReportNG:
Elizade Motors is not strange to many Nigerians as the name is the parent company of Toyota cars in Nigeria, but there is a man that runs and control this multi-million dollar business empire. The success story of Nigerian Dollar multi-millionaire Michael Ade-Ojo, the founder and CEO of the Elizade Group of companies should be a case study for anyone who wants to go into the automotive business in Nigeria.

In the beginning

Chief Michael was born in Nigeria on June 14, 1938, to two modest parents. At a very young age, he became a street vendor and started selling charcoal, food, & firewood to help make ends meet.

He was born in a time when there was little to no financial aid for the less privileged, and parents believed a lot lesser in education, yet he still successfully made it through high school, and later got a degree in Business Administration from the university.

After his graduation, he joined the workforce at CFAO motors; a French distribution company. This same company had paid the tuition for his last two years in the university.

In 1966, while still working as a salesman for CFAO motors, he successfully sold 20 trucks to the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria, but to his dismay, his manager took credit for the sale, which led to a protest by Michael, followed with him losing his job by the end of the year.

After his ousting at CFAO motors, he moved on and got a job at British Petroleum (BP). Within three months of his employment, he increased the sales of his local division by 25%. But just as he was unfortunate with his previous employment, his new boss took credit for the outstanding growth, and this left him aggrieved and lost in thoughts. (No be only Naija dey do fraud, oyinbo people sef na real wayo)

The Breakthrough

As the popular adage says, when life gives you a lime, make a lemonade out of it. Chief Micheal has every course to stay put in his BP job and be contented, but he decided to take a risky but eventful decision. While in Lagos, Nigeria, during his annual British Petroleum (BP) holiday, he decided to take a daring step to approach the RT Brisco Group; an importer and distributor of trucking and automobile equipment. He made them an offer to sell their equipment for a commission on every successful sale.

After careful consideration, the RT Brisco Group decided to give him a trial. In just four months after he sealed the deal with Brisco, he sold about 40 cars. The commissions earned from the total sales were overwhelmingly higher than his yearly salary at BP. This motivated him to quit his job, and pursue his dreams.

In 1971, he started the company, Elizade Independent Agencies (EIA), with his wife, Elizabeth Wuraola Ojo. The name Elizade, was derived from both his wife’s name, Elizabeth, and his name, Ade. His company focused on the distribution of automobiles in Nigeria, especially Japanese cars.

He acquired the license to import Toyota Cars, with the name, Toyota Nigeria Limited, and single-handedly, made the car brand, the most sought-after automobile brand in Nigeria. He later went on to acquire 100% of RT Briscoe in Nigeria, and subsequently acquired more shares, to make his total holdings in Toyota Nigeria Limited, sum up to 74%.

The brand Elizade Motors Group

Today, his conglomerate consists of Toyota Nigeria Limited, RT Briscoe Nigeria, Elizade Auto Land, Classic Motors Limited, Crow Motors Nigeria Limited, Elizade University, Okin Travels Limited, and a host of other investments. He’s also on the board of directors of several Nigeria banks and other companies such as Ecobank, First City Monument Bank, and SMT Nigeria Limited (the official distributors of Mack trucks, Volvo trucks, & Volvo Construction Equipments).

Moral

Never be too comfortable in your present position, that you can making millions from the job never meant you can't make more when you innovate.

Elizade is a great man but doesn't have Toyota franchise in Nigeria, when writing about people, state it clearly cos we have briscoe, Germaine, globe motors who are also importers of Toyota products in Nigeria

I still doubt he's the only one that has Toyota franchise in Nigeria


We have Germaine ,T briscoe motors who deal on Toyota product

There is nothing wrong naming a Federal University in Ebonyi State after Dr Alex Ekwueme, that of Oko Polytechnic can also be renamed after another great person from else where they are all govt institution and not owned be Ebonyi state or Anambra state.
Moreover he is a great personality and plus to the institution.

There's nothing wrong but Oko poly is opposite Ekwueme's house

He would have named him after Oko poly after him which is opposite his house anyways it's not bad [ quote author=Jowanonline post=64723129]President Muhammadu Buhari has renamed Federal University, Ndufu-Ikwo, Ebonyi State to Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ebonyi State.

Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbanjo, announced this during the burial service of the former late, Dr Alex Ekwueme at St John, The Divine Church, Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He said this was in honour of Ekwueme’s contributions to nation building.

Emezina iberibe if you are an igbo man. It's time to move on and unite with south west to salvage this country from mediocrity. Just imagine how unequal's take advantage of our bickering to mess up the country. The time has come to amend those things that separates us.

those who are angry with Kanu's wife dont understand she has to set the boundaries now. if , God forbid, Kanu were to drop dead tomorrow do you think the brother will allow Kanu's children to inherit his property 100%. A line has to be drawn...and she is fighting for what is rightfully hers.

I am a guy and I would hate for anyone but my immediate family to take over my property if I am gone.

Yes we are brothers/sisters the best I can do for you is what i have done for you while I was alive after that my immediate family comes first

She isn't the position to do what you said, Kanu may have written his WILL, she insulted Papilo by abusing his younger brother on instagram .

Immediately I read her comment on instagram, I unfollowed her, she messed up big time. Imagine someone who never knew then,how they suffered to get to their level before you were picked from poverty, nurtured and today you are shining, will have the gut to insult his younger brother.

Married newly and have told my wife no English name to all our children, all of them will bear Igbo name, Somtoochukwu, Ezinwa, Osinachi etc

You are a known Igbo hater who always denigrates anything about us and promotes your ethnicity

maclatunji:
Actually, I was busy minding my business pointing out an historical observation until some of your kinsmen I imagine started making noise. That post makes you feel somehow?

Sorry, your whiney friends asked for textual evidence, I simply supplied it. One is still chestbeating #Smiling.

I am definitely not hating on Igbos but seemingly, you guys don't learn from history.When and if you do, you can unlock your obviously great potential.

Benin and the Slave Trade

The kingdom of Benin (not to be confused with the modern Republic of Benin) was amongthe earliest, longest lasting, and most active participants in the European trade on the SlaveCoast, including the trade in slaves. From "pre-European" times, Benin was one of themightiest powers on the eastern Slave Coast. The Portuguese probably reached Benin in1472, but established strong relations with the kingdom only in 1485/86, when they founded atrade “factory” at the port of Gwato.

Europeans demanded slaves from the very beginning of trade with Benin, and it was there that the Portuguese purchased their first large slave cargoes.Portugal (until the mid-16th century), the Netherlands (late 16th– early 18th centuries), andGreat Britain (mid-18th–19th centuries, culminating in the occupation of the country in 1897)successively became the dominant European powers in the Benin region, although the French,Germans, and others also intermittently established presences there. Before the mid-17th century, Benin exported slaves not only to the New World, but also to Europe and the GoldCoast.

In 1506, a slave typically cost between twelve and fifteen manillas (brass bracelets); by 1517, the price had risen to 57 manillas. After the 1520s, cowry shells replaced manillasas the most popular “money” in the slave trade (in 1522, fifty manillas were equal to 6,370cowries). Goods such as hats, beads, etc. were also bartered for slaves. From the late 16th
to the late 17th century, Benin never sold its own citizens, but only female captives (including Igbo, Sobo, Ijaw, and others) captured in war or purchased from neighboring peoples. From the mid-17th to 18th centuries, however, slaves became the principal trade “goods” acquired byEuropeans, and foreign male prisoners and eventually citizens of Benin itself were also soldabroad. In the heyday of the slave trade, Benin supplied 3,000 slaves a year. A contemporaryrelated that “The West India planters prefer the slaves of Benin … to those of any other partof Guinea…”

You guys can be combative and boastful but know that it is not everybody that doesn't know history or their left from their right.

Somegirl1, there is the academic basis for my position. It didn't take much to figure it out, Benin had great influence over the adjoining area. It was the major power to contend with, any other Kingd om could not afford to fight it directly.

You don't fail to show your hatred for anything Igbo. Islamic fanatic

scholes0:
Igbos laying claim to Yoruba words they use everyday is akin to Igbos laying claim to the word Papa meaning (Father) because they now use it in Igbo language.

Papa was never part of the Igbo language from antiquity but now it is.
Such is life.

Papa isn't Igbo an Igbo word but French cum Latin, papa mean nna in Igbo language
