For a Private function or for official reasons?

Why is it difficult to expect a former General to still have contacts in the service he once led?

papaejima1: Could this be what T.B Joshua said here?
http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/top-stories/188877-tb-joshua-predicts-plane-crash-in-nigeria-that-will-kill-top-politicians.html

EXCERPT:
On Sunday July 15th, 2012, TB Joshua predicted a looming plane crash that will take Nigeria by storm.
According to him, if this plane crash is not averted, around 9-12 top Nigerian politicians will die.
He further revealed that the crash will happen on their way back from a conference or meeting.
They will be from nine to twelve in number and they’ll all perish.
He said the devil plans to strike them if they are all together on one flight.
According to his prediction, the solution to this looming tragedy is that all the officials should never board one flight.

These useless pastors do they ever make good predictions or just doom and gloom?

Biafra rep: [s][/s] Your ridiculous write up does not merit a reply but the sake of the uninformed ones, i will dissect your naive post.
Enugu is not the only great city in the SE, in terms of population and industries, Onitsha and Aba is ahead but Enugu is the political capital and Owerri as the summer capital.
Fact 2; Onitsha has the largest concentration of high rise buildings of 4,5 and 6 storeys in west Africa.
Fact 3; Aba has more industries than any SW city bar Lagos.
Fallacy; Ibadan is the largest city in WA! gosh are you an illiterate?
Fact 4; Lagos, Kano, Abidjan etc are far more populous than Ibadan.
Fallacy; You concluded that Ibadan is fine because you went to Bodija estate? Now its either you are a kid or you possess a very low IQ.
Fallacy; Igbos are under the shadow of Yorubas! Igbos are actually ahead in many spheres of life.
Please don't insult our sensibility with your ignorance.

This whole Ibadan progress thing is really troubling you I see. Pẹ̀lẹ́. Have heart.

Recent foreign investment in Ibadan:

‘We Are Committed To Changing The Face Of Packaged Juice Production In Nigeria’

Johan Voight is the General Manager, Clover West Africa. Clover Industries, the largest manufacturer of dairy products in Africa are the manufacturers of Tropika, a uniquely refreshing drink made from dairy skimmed milk and fruit juice. Voight speaks with BUKOLA APATA on the Tropika brand

When did Tropika join the fruit juice market in Nigeria?

TROPIKA was introduced in September 2010, and it has been enjoying tremendous acceptability across the country as we have a robust network of distribution channels facilitated by our partners

Since entering the Nigerian market space, how has the sales return been?

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107656:we-are-committed-to-changing-the-face-of-packaged-juice-production-in-nigeria&catid=31:business&Itemid=562

We are satisfied with our sales as it increases on a monthly basis; and with our ever-widening distribution links, we believe it would continue to soar. Our target consumers have also embraced our brand since introduction and have continually picked Tropika at every identifiable sales point and this has moved sales and also allowed us to do more for our esteemed consumers.

Given the seeming saturation in the market space, how difficult has it been gaining acceptance?

Our brand is not like other juices; it is a fruit and dairy blend. This feature has helped the product greatly in standing up to competition, as consumers like products that would add more to them generally. On our part, we would keep the standards high to ensure that we sustain our consumers’ interest, especially as we approach the festive period.

Competitors are initiating rewards for their teeming consumers, what is Tropika doing in this regard?

We are constantly running trade promotions to reward our customers. We recently took a select few of our consumers, our media partners and other partners to the beach in Lagos to give them a true Tropika experience. Such quality time with our stakeholders will, however, not be limited to Lagos as we would soon be in your city; this move is also endearing this product to numerous consumers across the country.

How close is the Tropika brand to its Nigerian consumers; do you now have a fully operational office?

Tropika is manufactured in Ibadan and distributed by our sole distributor FMCL to 39 cities across Nigeria and dedicated Clover staff to support the brand. So we are penetrating far and wide. Given the peculiar terrain of the country, we are presently putting in place plans and actions to see that we exclude no part of Nigeria in our distribution as we appreciate the fact that our consumers grow by the day and are present in all nook and crannies. So I would say, wait as Tropika journeys to you.

How soon would it take the brand to have a physical presence in Nigeria?

As I said earlier, we also have Clover people in Nigeria running the daily marketing and sales function all across. We are currently looking at premises to build manufacturing facilities to introduce more categories like milk and many more. When we get our plan up and running, Nigerians should expect a whole 360 juicy experience from us.

It is the yuletide season; brands do a lot in celebrating with their consumers. Does Tropika have any package for its teeming consumers?

We have many marketing activities currently running to promote the Tropika brand as we go into the Christmas holidays and we are also looking at avenues to reward our faithful consumers with products to celebrate the holidays with. So Nigerians should stay tuned to the Tropika stations.

In some quarters, it is quite a challenge getting Tropika in the market or at nearby stores. This brings the distribution network to question?

We are increasing our numeric distribution every month to bring it closer to consumers. In this way, in a short while, our product will be everywhere in the country, where consumers can access them easily. So, all those who constantly long for the smooth taste of Tropika, you have but a little more time to wait. We promise we would get to you sooner than you think or expect.

Ignorant troll, the city have three industrial estates. What do you suppose they are doing there? What do you supposed over 3 million residents are doing Despite the neglect Ibadan still remains the publishing center in Nigeria. There are industries in confectionaries, edible-oil processing plants, soft drinks, bottling and food factories, feed mills, tobacco factory and flour mills, sawmills, paper mills, foam products, concrete poles and block making, chemicals, paints and petroleum oil depot.

Stay ignorant and Confused.
