Wow

So Alakija would basically buy their Ndigbo pride Five times and still have change

Chineke

Hahahaha! Anambra1sttson is liar. That's the fact.

[quote author= post=89956376]When I told ignorant minds that Famfa own by Alakija isn't into oil exploration they will be arguing, claiming audio richest woman in Africa , check the table the only woman in oil exploration in Nigeria is Uju Ifejika owner of Brittania U, Uju Ifejika is the richest she is just playing cool[/quote]By your logic, Uju Ifejika is not into oil exploration because her 1,000 barrel per Ajapa field is a joint venture between Brittania group and Cheveron/NNPC. Stop lying.

Sunshineg5:
Check the first page

The production level is there

Fanfa gets 10% of 250,000 barrels per day which is 25,000 barrels

The pride of Ndigbo gets 1000 barrels per day

Bros, Famfa gets 60%. She took federal government to court after they hijacked 50% from the deal and left her with 10%.

She has won the case and now receives 60%.

What Anambra1sttson posted was half baked truth. He did that yesterday when he posted an outdated stats for Ibadan airport passenger stats. He is a big FRAUD.

Sunshineg5:
It's1000 not 10,000 barrels per day

Chineke meeeeeee! You mean one tawa? chaiiiii!

Anambra1sttson can lie ooooo.

Thanks. 1,000 barrel per day Vs 220,000 bp per day.

That boy use brain na.

That's enough to buy Brittania group and still buy more companies

Is Alakija a hair dresser, you bloody liar?





Born into a family of traders, Alakija cut her teeth in the textiles trade while still a child.

“My siblings and I used to help my mum in the store and that is where we learned a lot about textiles, textures, colours, patterns and merchandising. That is where I learned all the practical steps that I later on applied to my fashion business.”

The fashion business came after her stint in the corporate banking world. After qualifying as a secretary in Britain, a place where she also went to school from the age of seven to 11, Alakija worked as an executive secretary with the bank, Sijuade Enterprises, in Lagos for a year and a half before joining the International Merchant Bank of Nigeria.

“I joined them as a secretary and I was there for about 12 years. I was promoted to other departments of the bank, including heading the corporate affairs department. From there I moved into proper banking, working in the treasury department. I loved it because I was trading with the bank’s money to make money for the bank. Later on, the bank was expanding and they started putting extra cogs between the wheels to ensure that people did not get promoted too fast to get to top positions within the bank. So I asked myself, ‘how long will it take me to get from a treasury officer to a general manager?’” says Alakija.

She quit her job and decided to study fashion design. She enrolled in the American College in London as well as the Central School of Fashion where she obtained a distinction. Immediately after that, Supreme Stitches was born and Alakija became renowned for her haute couture range, which was worn by women around the world.

Alakija says divine intervention persuaded her to rename her fashion business.

“I rebranded to Rose of Sharon House of Fashion because God gave me a revelation that I needed to change the name. It was a revelation initially given through a pastor but I decided I was not going to change it until I heard from God myself. I had a dream a year after the prophecy was given and I saw the new name on the body of my van in the dream and I changed it overnight,” says Alakija.

Then came her foray into printing. Alakija established the Rose of Sharon Prints and Promotions, as well as Digital Reality Prints.

“I wanted a new challenge; I was getting bored of the fashion business… the [printing] business did well for the first couple of years before it got into trouble,” she says.

The Lagos State government clamped down on the printing business because billboards were clogging up the skyline. Sales for her fledgling business plummeted.

“At some point when I went abroad, I saw some printing machines and realised that those were the similar kind of machines I had been shown in [a] dream but those were for offset. I went into the wrong type of printing out of disobedience and ignorance. I misunderstood and I was excited with the large format machines so I didn’t do too much homework into trying to find out more about the pictures that I saw in my dream. So I eventually got into the offset printing five years ago. And it’s been a success. We started out with 30 people and now we have about 100 employees,” says Alakija.

There was a smooth transition from the fashion business into mass-produced t-shirts. Demand for monograms, screen-printing and picture transfers on t-shirts increased. The company set up four departments, including a souvenirs department where they imported souvenirs and gift items from China. Ever the entrepreneur, Alakija was still on the lookout for the next big thing.

Alakija’s encounter with her friend on the flight to England was fortuitous. After her friend decided not to invest in the Nigerian oil industry, Alakija decided to make use of her new contact, Maryam Babaginda. Maryam was the wife of Ibrahim Babaginda, the former president of Nigeria under military rule. As a customer of Supreme Stitches, Maryam was able to secure another appointment for Alakija with the petroleum minister, Jubril Aminu.

“I went back and told the petroleum minister that I would like to render other services, like catering for the oil industry. He said there were already so many caterers on board, various ships on the high seas, and as a result, there were no opportunities available.”

Although disappointed, Alakija did not give up. She decided to do some more homework. After consultations with a close relative who worked for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), she was advised to offer transportation services for the petroleum industry. It took a long time to get another meeting with Aminu.

“I finally got another opportunity and I wrote an official letter saying I would like to offer transportation services to the oil sector. The minister’s feedback was he didn’t think it was a good idea because the government would soon be doing away with the trucks that were being used to transport crude oil and replace them with a lot more pipelines instead. So I said ‘what am I going to ask for now?’”

“He said ‘why don’t you think of exploration?’. He said the government wants to put the resources of its land in the hands of its nationals, because it feels that it is about time that Nigerians begin to exploit its own resources rather than let multinationals continue to take away our wealth. I had given up at this point. I thought he was being sarcastic and he didn’t want to help all along,” she says.

Alakija cried all night. It felt as if a major door had been closed. After seeking consolation from her husband, Alakija went on to inform Maryam of the outcome of the meeting.

“I told her that it was bad news and that the petroleum minister wants to give me a heart attack. I went back to do a lot more homework and consulted with a friend of my husband who was already in the oil business. At the end of the research, I decided to not give up and officially apply for an opportunity to get an oil block,” says Alakija.

Before submitting her letter, Alakija had already found her technical partners and it was now a waiting game. To her surprise, the oil minister was replaced and Alakija had to restart the whole process again. She kept pushing. Everything seemed to be going according to plan when the second oil minister was also replaced.

“At this stage I still wasn’t ready to give up. The third minister finally wrote me a letter to tell me my application was receiving attention after two years. I got the letter and I cried my eyes out in frustration again at the snail’s pace progress the application was making,” says Alakija.

Swaying from one military coup to another, the Nigerian political climate was volatile during the 1990s. While on holiday in the Philippines, news broke about yet another change in the Nigerian regime. Alakija’s oil application was still being reviewed.

“I raced back to Nigeria to find that the current administration had already done the oil block allocations before they left power and my licence was waiting for me. It took three years of not taking no for an answer and going back each time the door was shut in my face,” says Alakija.

She finally had her oil block, but the battle was far from over.

“When I was making the application I listed several blocks. I didn’t want to take a chance on someone else taking my block. So I applied for several blocks and the one I was allocated was the one nobody wanted because it was deep offshore and nobody was exploring deep offshore because it was too expensive to explore and there was no technology around to explore that initial depth of 5,000 feet at that time,” says Alakija.

At first, it seemed Alakija had drawn the short straw. She did not have the technology, expertise and money to start the process of exploration. Alakija, with support from her husband, had to use their life savings to secure the license or face losing it after the government threatened to terminate the agreement if full payment was not made. It took Alakija an additional three years to find new partners after her initial partners pulled out. After years of knocking on countless doors, their persistence paid off.

“Texaco was already in Nigeria and looking to expand their business. They went to the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), who told them that Famfa Oil was looking for technical partners. So they linked us up. The license we had was not worth more than the paper it was written on until they came in,” says Alakija.

Five years later, Chevron bought Texaco, including the partnership with Famfa Oil.

After receiving a signature bonus, out of which Alakija was able to pay the balance of the license to the government, Alakija started working with her new partners. Chevron set up an office four months after signing the partnership contract, with Alakija holding on to 60% of the shareholding of the oil block and Chevron taking 40%. Chevron later sold an 8% stake to Petrobras in exchange for their deep offshore technical expertise.

Sunshineg5:
I hate to rain on your parade but Britania or whatever produce only 1000 barrels per day

Agbami oil fields produce 250,000 barrels per day and Alakija gets 10% of the revenue

10% of 250,000 is 25,000 barrels just so you know

That is 25× Uju revenue.

I just want to let you know

Na wa for that guy ooo.

[quote author= post=89957125]Alakija is chashing fame while Uju is chasing money[/quote]Ajapa marginal field - 10,000 barrel Vs Agami field - 220,000 barrels.


Both are joint ventures but Alakija receive more because she receives 10 percent which is twice what Ajapa field produces.

Besides, Alakija is into real estate business worth a fortune.

[quote author= post=89960925]Igbos choose to play low and chasing money , not those noisemakers chasing fame[/quote]Bloody liar. How many barrels of oil does Ajapa field produce a day? Just 10,000 barrels and it's a joint venture.

Alakija 10% from Agbami is times two of that. Use your brain and stop disgracing yourself.

Any private individual producing films before 1991 was as good as being sent to the firing squad. Those who study mass communications know that laws only allowed Government stations to air films. It was after the liberalization decree by Babangida in 1991 that private ownership of production and distribution of broadcast and video content was allowed. The NFVCB was mandated to control film production same year.

Dokpesi’s Raypower/AIT became the first private station to be given licence and the following year year Living in Bondage became the private movie to be produced. All are in government archive.

The movie we had in the past that was aired in Pen Cinema etc were Hollywood and Indian movies. As a matter of fact many were smuggled into the country. No Cinema showed Nigerian movie, it was straight imprisonment as of then. You guys should stop deceiving the public.

A very big fat lie. I watched Nigeria movies on videos as at late 80s. Why do you like lying like this?

Ikpuchinonye19:
When world renowned African film maker Sembene Ousmane, told a group of American scholars who asked him about Nollywood that ‘Nigerians had found a way to reach the African audience and that is great accomplishment’, it was considered a ground shaking, epoch making compliment. Considering that African Film makers had hitherto dismissed Nollywood as a Mickey Mouse industry, Sembene’s statement that Nollywood had found the way for the liberation of our people’s cultural, material, economic and creative sensibilities through storytelling was a victory for Nollywood. Africa through Nollywood has finally found a way of telling our own stories our own way. This is the Nollywood we celebrate today.

Nollywood’s arrival in 1992 with Kenneth Nnebue’s Living in Bondage signified a change on the Nigerian filmmaking scene. With video technology, Nollywood brought African filmmaking from the sidelines of global filmmaking into the centre. Finally, an audience that had long yearned for a movie culture they could call their own, found a place they could call home. Withno formal structure, no government aid, no backing from financial institutions, no grants from donor agencies, and solely dependent on informal marketers who were largely importers of electronic appliances, what is today a global phenomenon took off. In merely 20 years, Nollywood has done more for this country than any other art form; it has placed our dear nation on a pedestal that has spiked interest the world over. No other African country can boast of any indigenous artistic expression that equals Nollywood. Its stars are the cynosure of all eyes at international events; they are worthy brand ambassadors for some of the biggest brands in the world; Nollywood has provided employment for and radically changed the lives of thousands of Nigerians; it is the subject of seminars, conferences, workshops and many other creative and intellectual engagements. The Federal government’s NEEDS document recognised Nollywood as far back as 2005. The recent SURE-P document did the same. As I’m sure we all know, Mr. President instituted a $200m fund for the entertainment industry on the strength and popularity of Nollywood. Many scholars and researchers have made a name simply by researching and writing about Nollywood. Documentaries have been made by many filmmakers from across the globe, all in an attempt to understand the peculiarities on what has become the most industrious indigenous filmmaking tradition out of Africa and the black Diaspora.UNESCO even named Nollywood as the 2nd largest Film industry after Hollywood and before Bollywood

I have been watching Nigerian movies on video before living in bondage came to existence.

Very educative.

Living in bondage was not the first after all.

AburiBiafra:
SEE DAFT BY NATURE. Did you read the below from the first page, or did you just acted Zombie as usual and proceed to write nonsense!!


Truth must be told in other to move on and it is very important, for there is a saying that "If you do not know where you are coming from, then you also might not know where you are going to". Igbos are not attaching ourselves to anyone and this is a lie and fallacy that must be corrected. Rather we seek for the truth and justice to be served at all times. The new Biafra will be a MOTHER nation of equality for all nations inside it, where by all groups that accepted to be part of the MOTHER nation Biafra through referendum will control their resources 101% to avoid any issue of domination accusations by any group against the other as it's presently obtain in Nigeria. There will be no minority in the new Biafra, but "less populated and higher populated nations"

The three things that will bind the nations together inside the MOTHER nation called Biafra are:

(1.) Our common general defense system to ward off any potential enemy, i.e MILITARY,
(2.) School/Education system in other to make sure that the standard of education is the same in all the nations inside Biafra.
(3.) Probably on agreement as well, our football and other sports teams.

Apart from the three points above, every nation inside the MOTHER NATION called Biafra will govern it self, have it's own parliament, it's police, and make laws and it's policies in it's own local language which will be it's official language before English language. That is what is called confederation system of government. and it's not a rocket science.

We are also going to have what we term as the UAE system of business and investments in all Biafra nations, where by for e.g, if an Igbo business man wants to invest in Ijaw nation. By laid out laws, the Igbo man MUST have to front/partner with an Ijaw man as the face of his business/investment and an agreed percentage of the profit from the business/investment to be shared by both parties (The Igbo business man/Investor and his Ijaw partner) as spelled out by the law will be applied, and vice versa. This is part of making sure that we eliminate the fears of "domination" as being echoed in Nigeria today.

Coming to oil, it will interest you to know that Igboland both in all the today's five South East states and those ceded by the Nigerian government to neighboring states have more oil than in all the so called Niger Delta put together and this is a hidden FACT by the zoo authorities aided by the British government. Again, any country that depends on oil for it's survival in this modern world must ask it's self serious question. The future is towards High-tech, IT technology and Service industries which are already the main base of major economies of the world, not in oil. Ask Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, all in Asia. Germany, France, Spain, Italy, UK, Switzerland e.t.c, all in Europe. Chile, Argentina, all in South America, if they have an oil base economy. If their answer is no, then why would any sane person think that it will not be possible in Biafran? Are we not humans like they are?

However, as we are working towards Biafra's restoration and seeking to mend fences with our immediate neighbors/Biafran brothers, the Lagos-Ibadan express way gutter media lies aimed at creating division amongst all the old Eastern Region brothers must be laid bare and put to an end, and we the present generation must not leave any stone un-turned towards making sure that all lies and propaganda against us are corrected for the sake of our future generation and for the sake of our understanding each other to create the much needed unity to be able to achieve our goal. The Lagos-Ibadan expressway gutter media lied so much against us and thank God for the social media which have taken over and relegated print media to the background, we are now digging up and debunking all lies and propaganda against us one after the other. BIAFRA must be achieved in our life time.

Dream is free. You can dream alone but wake up to the reality. SE can do without SSners.

Is this from ALL other tribes or a PERSONAL OPINION?

When Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil all human being had the mind to be like God.

Nobody will want to be under anybody because man eyes don open.

Ijaw with plenty oyel and small population will never share oyel with another person with 40 times his population.

Efik/Ibibibio with plenty oyel will prefer to chop his oyel alone and never share country with Anybody.

Same goes with Uhrobo. Dem go drink dem oyel alone.

That's human nature. The early you realise this, the better you are prepared to live without these minorities.
