Are you talking about Okechukwu Ovia, MD CEO of Zenith bank, he might not be Ipob but he is definately Igbo.

Afonja grow sense when did Ipob become a tribe Olodo afonja.

afonjadie:
Sincerely, I really empathize with you and feel your pains and sorrows, having being exiled from Lagos with a stern warning that Lagos is not Afonja land, by the paramount chief and Oba of Lagos, Afonjas now wish the same fate befall the great Igbo nation, sorry Afonja, kolewerk.

Does this picture paint a clearer picture. Afonja. See the eyes of the Ooni in the drawing to feel the pain of the average afonjite.

[b]T.T DALK is a Nigerian-based fashion brand that is redefining the African footwear industry. It makes simple, trendy and elegant footwear for both men and women that appeal to a wide range of consumer tastes.

Temilade Osinfade is the founder and Creative Director at T.T Dalk. During his days at the university, he would draw out footwear designs on paper for local shoe craftsmen to make for him. His shoes and slippers caught the attention of other students and that’s how the T.T Dalk footwear business was born.

T.T Dalk is revolutionizing the local footwear business in Nigeria and has been featured on several international fashion shows and runways. He primarily sells his shoes on online stores and a few boutique retail outlets in Nigeria’s major cities.

In a recent press interview, he gave the following advice: “… you need to have passion for the business, it takes a lot of consis­tency and perseverance. Define your brand, and define your target market. You will not find many people who are knowledgeable about the business, so you need to educate yourself and do most of the work at the early stages. You must be very creative, and most especially you need to take risks. Get out of your comfort zone and explore the outside world!”

T.T Dalk is definitely a promising brand to watch in Africa’s fast evolving footwear landscape.[/b]

Nigerian born shoe designer, Shola Yusuf arrived in the U.S. in 1989 with only $100 in her pocket. She worked her way through pharmacy school and continued to work at a breakneck pace to support herself and her daughter and to one day realize a dream of owning her own business.
Shola’s designs are beautifully shaped, elegant and quite well-made in vivid hues and luxury materials (some with patterns) adding to their appeal.
Take a bold step with Shola Designs and you’ll find the latest, newest, freshest styles of their shoes in a wide variety of heels, pumps, flats, wedges and accessories. Get to know more about the designer in the interview below.

UmuEri:
So Isioma is an Afonja name? please carry your tiger face and concentrate.

Agbors are Igbos and that's where my wife's mother came from. her name is Mrs Ogochukwu Iruozo

afonjadie:
It appears this Afonja just bursted himself in an attempt to prove Jim is not Igbo in a attempt to continue with your foolery, you shot yourself in the foot, Did you not see the name of his child there? Is Isioma an Afonja name? I know it hurts you to know Jim is Igbo That is however why I am angry about any thread listing Igbo companies and it's owners, cause Afonjas will get jealous and start a campaign of calumny against those companies.

Jim is from Agbor in Delta North of Delta State, also known As Anioma, other notable Igbo's from Delta north Are Tony Elumelu, Mrs Okonjo Iwela, prof Pat Utomi? Even Kachikwu your petroleum minister and the current CBN governors Godwin Emefiele are from Anioma, Are these men not Igbo too? even your god Buhari himself who does not have a school cert, knows this and said they are Igbo's, so why disagree with your god, you who is just a awof graduate.

After all the famous coup that lead to Civil war that you love too tag a Igbo coup was also caused by a Delta North, Agbor Man, Kaduna Nzeogwu, however you said Jim was not Igbo but you failed to tell us his tribe? Is he Urhobo, Ijaw or Itsekiri? Or you are simply praying they also deny their Igbo heritage sorry they don't depend on oil and know the value of their Igboness, Anioma alone have produced more prominent and successful men than Afonjas put together.

Afonja try again, I would have corrected your other so called assumptions of bursting lies but I would rather you assume all those companies are owned by foreigners so you don't bad mouth them, however I decided to correct this so you fools don't start your Afonja ikwerre-like campaign on Nairaland, so now go and use your newly created Agbor handle to reply this post, Afonja.

Yorubas are the movers and shakers of Nollywood

Amazing! Nigerian Movies Gross over N1 billion in 2016

Here’s how 2016’s Top 10 Chart looks like for Nigeria – Please note that not all the figures are verified rather we have used Filmhouse Cinema’s weighted average market share to come up with box office estimates for films not released by FilmOne.

The Wedding Party – FilmOne Nollywood – N203 million - Yoruba Producer
A Trip to Jamaica – FilmOne Nollywood – N178.5 million - Yoruba Producer
Batman Vs Superman – Warner/Crimson – N140 million (Estimated)
Captain America – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N119 million (Estimated)
Suicide Squad – Warner/Crimson – N116 million (Estimated)
London Has Fallen – Independent/Okhma – N90 million (Estimated)
Doctor Strange – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N85 million (Estimated)
Gods of Eqypt – Independent/Okhma – N80 million (Estimated)
Mechanic Ressurection – Independent/Okhma – N75 million (Estimated)
76 – Silverbird Nollywood – N72 million (Estimated)


From AY Makun‘s “30 Days in Atlanta”, Ebonylife‘s “Fifty”, Omoni Oboli‘s “Wives on Strike” to Kunle Afolayan‘s “The CEO”, and now “A Trip to Jamaica”, “The Wedding Party”, “93 Days”, “76” and many more, it is clear that the Nigerian movie industry has the potential to rake in billions of dollars in revenue.

The Wedding Party, Nigeria’s latest blockbuster movie, has broken box-office records at every milestone since it was released nationwide on December 16 2016. It took just two weeks to eclipse the record of N178 million, held by ‘A Trip to Jamaica’, emerging with a staggering N200 million before the New Year weekend was over. Both films led a strong lineup of popular Nigerian films in 2016, including ‘Wives on Strike’, ‘The CEO’, ‘93 Days’ and ‘76’.

The Wedding Party debuted with the biggest opening weekend in Nollywood history with N36 million; the best-ever opening week with N66 million; the biggest week ever with N110 million; and a jaw-dropping Christmas box-office total of N146 million.

CcHub is widely credited for putting a physical location to what is commonly referred to as the technology ecosystem in Nigeria. Little wonder it was Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg’s first stop during his visit to Nigeria.

It remains Nigeria’s first open lab and pre-incubation space. The hub is designed to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose space where creative social tech ventures are catalysed. Not only that, it has become a go-to place for technologists, social entrepreneurs, government, tech companies, impact investors and hackers in and around Lagos to meet and co-create new solutions to the many social problems in Nigeria.

The CcHub was birthed by Bosun Tijani and Femi Longe with a $200,000 and $45,000 grant provided by the Omidyar Network and Indigo Trust respectively.

Ventures Platform



While it’s not the first technology hub to emerge within the federal capital territory, Ventures Platform, nonetheless, has become a standard for setting up a technology incubation facility.

Ventures Platform was founded by Kola Aina on the 3rd of June to serve as a launchpad for technology innovators solving Africa’s biggest challenges. Since commencing operations, Ventures Platform has played a critical role not just in the development of the Abuja technology ecosystem but in Nigeria at large.

In a few years, tech-driven African companies will be a big deal across the world — Ayeni Adekunle, BHM Group CEO



Ayeni Adekunle is the founder and CEO of BHM Group, a media company under which popular brands like NET and BlackHouse Media are subsidiaries.

Often referred to as Ayeni The Great, he is a Pan-Africanist to the core. This philosophy reflects in many elements of the BHM Group identity.

For example, the name ‘BlackHouse’ is inspired by one his favourite Yoruba proverbs — Inú ìkòkò dúdú l’èko funfun ti n’jade — which roughly translates to “it is from the black pot that the pure white pap is made”. The “black pot” here refers to Africa which he believes holds the key to the future.
