@OP. Please don't allow sentiments blind your judgement. Am a product of intermarriage and I stand to say with all pride that it's the best . My dad is from kaduna, my mum from Abia state. My elder sister married a Benue man ,my elder brother married from cross rivers, my immediate elder brother married from Delta and I married from Edo State. Your culture and identity still remains the same , you teach your kids about your traditions and your wife also, they will have a sense of belonging. Take for example , we all travel to the village every December with our families to celebrate Christmas. It's fun . I advise you to give it a trial . Thank me later.

Complete Nigerian!! Wait first, are you sure you are not related to any of my family members, sef?

Oga if not for inter tribal marriage, some people from the east staying in the north would have been dead by now

Hehehe.... I don talk say I no go laugh today, but.. .

OrdercityWeb:
You're not being factual and realistic, you're talking about identity? What identity do offspring of intermarriages claim? You and I know from the many of such marriages that we know are mostly culturally neutral. The kids are neither here nor there. Infact in most of these homes they only speak English.

Oga, stop generalising. You have NOT visited the homes of every couple or family, that has an inter-tribal or inter-ethnic marriage. I know families where both parents are from the same tribe, yet their kids speak only English, especially in the West. I have also seen families whose parents come from different ethnic groups, yet the children speak the different languages of both parents, perfectly. It all depends on what you teach your kids.

OrdercityWeb:
That's not entirely true. I have said it before "Discouraging intertribal marriage has nothing to do with being tribalistic. Tribalism is a mindset and you don't have to intermarry to be unbiased. You just have to reason.

You also need to apply clear reasoning and logic to your own thought processes. A tribalistic person would hardly ever (in fact, probably never even consider the thought!) marry outside his tribe. In fact, most tribalistic people consider 'ethnicity' or 'tribal similarities or differences,' as a major factor, in their selection of a spouse. A person who freely and willingly marries from a different tribe, is unlikely to be tribalistic, as such tribal differences are not likely to have played a major part in his choice of a spouse.

OrdercityWeb:
That's not entirely true. I have said it before "Discouraging intertribal marriage has nothing to do with being tribalistic. Tribalism is a mindset and you don't have to intermarry to be unbiased. You just have to reason.

Again, you are wrong. Tribalism does play a major role in discouraging inter-tribal marriages. Go and check! Talk to those who have experienced it.

tintingz:
The world is evolving and some ignorant, archaic people are still wallowing whether inter-tribal marriage should be encourage. SMH

How does marrying from your tribe, race add to economy or our daily life or make things better? and to think your culture will fade off, this is fallacy, your culture will only fade off if you don't teach your children your culture.

I will encourage inter-tribal marraige anytime, anywhere, it creates harmony between tribes, race than hatred, it promote culture. I won't promote tribalism supremacy like our ignorant archaic fathers did, the world has evolve from that mentality and people should evolve from this backward mentality.

Your post make sense, die!! I no know say you sef see am! I read the crap the OP wrote, and I almost puked!

OrdercityWeb:
I was having a discussion with a few friends yesterday. I told them emotions aside, intertribal marriages shouldn't be ENCOURAGED.
..
Why? To preserve our culture, our identity is in our culture. I know alot of products of intertribal marriages that are torn between the question of identity.
I once read where a lady from an intertribal marriage said her mom insisted she married her own tribe as against her dad's.
In many intertribal homes there is this cultural neutrality, and many times there's a power play on the kids among the two in-laws.
Even the bible doesn't encourage intertribal marriage, remeber the instructions Abraham gave to his servant and the fact that Jesus was sent to the jews ONLY initially.
Have you wondered why the Chinese and Koreans do not marry outside their race, why do you think there is that cultural cohesion and reverence with them anywhere they go.
...
My take is INTERTRIBAL MARRIAGES SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGED.
What's your take? Please be factual and intelligent DO NOT APPEAL TO EMOTIONS.

**modified**
Alot of people are saying "culture evolves". Yes cultures evolve. But fundamentals like identity remains same.
Culture evolves. Identity doesn't. The fact that the Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa is UNIQUE TO THEM ALONE AND CAN NEVER EVER EVOLVE.
THE MOMENT IT DOES WE HAVE LOST WHO WE ARE

You wrote this uncultured piece of balderdash? And you claim to be educated??! Chisos!!

djon78:
Stop spreading ignorance here. Standard Bank, Stanbic bank are South African Banks. Standard Bank is the biggest Bank in African continent. It is an African Bank totally.

Your claiming that it was the UK that started it, yes UK might have but over time it has become fully owned by the country of residence. There are companies like that around the world started by UK during colonial times, especially in British colonies. Like in Australia there were a lot of companies started by UK but today are today completely Australian Companies, like Rio Tinto, Bhp, then another example I know a very big conglomerate in Malaysia started by the British called Sime Darby, today it is a total Malaysian Company. Then in Nigeria Royal Niger Company started by the UK later named UAC when Nigeria took it over or Barclays Bank started by UK which today is First Bank.

Oga, Standard Bank/Stanbic bank, is quite different from Standard Chartered Bank. Do your research!

@Laudate,

Have you started with the categorization?

If not, I believe this is a task we can split across the members here....by pages.

I'd like to execute it by this weekend.

totit deomelo, hilroy ODVanguard shocles0 etc.

Er, no.... I haven't done anything about the categorisation. I just made the suggestion. I wanted everyone to debate it, and offer their own insights and solutions...

Taofick Okoya, son of the industrialist and multimillionaire businessman Chief Razak Akanni Okoya owner of Eleganza Group, is a rather unusual man. Instead of staying back & relying on his family's wealth, Taofick chose to create his own business, and carve out a totally different niche. He set up FICO Solutions Nigeria Limited, the creators of the first ever set of Nigerian Fashion dolls tagged The Queens of Africa & Naija Princesses.

https://www.queensofafricadolls.com/uploads/3/5/5/4/3554157/5356354_orig.jpg?462

The Queens of Africa program is dedicated, through the use of books, dolls, comics, music and animation series, to empower children of African descent and their counterparts, to be confident of their identity and to become mature, ethically. The dolls and materials are designed, through fun and engaging materials, to subconsciously promote African heritage.

"I got into the doll business by chance. At that time my daughter was young, and I realized she was going through an identity crisis,’ Taofick tells me when I reach out to the Lagos-based founder over the phone. He further adds, ‘She wished she was white, and I was trying to figure out where that came from."

I used to always buy her white dolls, and it never got to me that it was relevant which color, her dolls were. On top of that, we have DSTV in Nigeria where children watch the Disney programs, and all her favorite characters were white. I started to understand why she’d feel the way she did, ‘cause it was all that she’d been exposed to,’ the Queens of Africa dolls creator explains.

Upon realizing the non-existence of black dolls within the Nigerian market, he decided to create a brand of his own. Lucky for him, he made international headlines seven years after the brand’s inception, for outselling Mattel's Barbie dolls, Barbie in his native Nigeria (selling between 6000 and 9000 dolls a month) according to Reuters reports.https://www.forbes.com/sites/declaneytan/2016/05/18/nigerias-leading-doll-brand-is-coming-to-america/#6b30976d3a1c

FriendNG:
I want to use this opportunity to thank Arewa youth for listening to the appeal by all well meaning Igbos to withdraw the quite notice as they stand with one Nigeria which include Igbos residing both in 19 Monolithic northern states and also all Igbos in the southwest.

Sincere appreciation goes to Gov. Shetima, Major Hamza Almustapha and Northern governors forum (The likes of Prof. Ango Abdullahi) whose the Igbo leaders have constantly beg to mediate on their behalf for the youth to reconsider the October 1 declaration.

Also the national assembly (especially the SE. representatives, likes of Ike Ekweramadu duputy senate presido) should past-forward the inclusion of referendum in our constitution as the arewa youth demanded.

I therefore categorically say to the ProBiafrans sin no more. Go about your daily activities without fear.

As for the brainwashed irresponsible element and pigs of the east, you can continue to wail here below in the comment section and any other place you may wish.

Abeg, I no fit laugh again....!!

Dr. Adeyemi Johnson has a larger than life personality. It has been a tough week for him, as he divides his time between Uyo and Lagos, where he also doubles up as the Chief Medical Director of a state-of-the-art medical center, in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria. Explaining things in a way that our viewers will understand, he defines hypertension using the pipes analogy. It’s one I have heard before; it works every time.

Too much water pressure will destroy pipes – so goes blood pressure and the heart. The double load of communicable and non-communicable diseases, also ends up affecting the heart. Over fifty percent of the Nigerian adult population suffer from hypertension. He doles out advise on hypertension, as he usually does.

Our main culprits are diet, lifestyle and stress. The average Nigerian consumes 12 grams of salt daily which is wrong – a non-starter. Our lifestyles have become sedentary. The cycle of life in urban areas, early commutes to work and late arrival home, is a huge factor: we need to exercise more. Stress, he says, does not cause hypertension, but it will elevate blood pressure for those naturally predisposed, to it. It is a good thing, we did an episode on stress management. His analogies are fantastic – our viewers will see themselves in his stories.

The shoot goes well and as he departs, in a way unique to him, he says “I remember what I forgot – I forgot to mention the effects of alcohol”. Oh well, our day is tight. We’ll save that for the take home message script. _{https://www./hypertension-ronke-ekwensi-cipm}

Not too long ago, Dr. Adeyemi Johnson led a team of 3 doctors at First Cardiology Consultants, to perform a clinical procedure on a 62 year old lady with extreme breathlessness on minimal exertion, and inability to climb stairs. She had a hole in her heart. A catheter was passed through the hole to close it up, without the use of surgery. The patient walked out of the hospital quite healthy, after she was discharged around 12 hours later.

Pliris Mobile Nigeria Limited manufactures tech devices ranging from android phones to mobile internet devices, tailored to meet unique needs and requirements of its customers. Pliris also offers the Phone Tracker / Personal Security app which allows users to track their lost phones, and wipe off data remotely from it. But their flagship products are their custom made Google Android Smart Phones.

Pliris Mobile also offers a mobile advert platform as part of its services, to businesses and individuals who require instantaneous, cost effective and absolutely measurable consumer engagement messages, to be sent & tracked from a highly reliable platform. In addition to this, they also offer a Mobile Website Development service.

The founder/CEO of Pliris Mobile, Oluwafemi Alade, is focused on firming up the Pliris Mobile brand with a steady increase in the number of its handset users. In Abuja where Pliris Mobile has gained strong foothold, Alade's vision is to reconfigure the smart mobile handset market, with home grown contents and applications, that bear on the real needs of the Nigerian phone users.

The Pliris range of entire phones have dual SIM slots. Another option they possess is being able to switch from different kind of networks, from 3G to 2G. It allows users to lock their networks to a particular kind of network on their phones. Most of those new smart phones don’t allow users that flexibility.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8iZp7UtVYjQ/hqdefault.jpg https://mobilityarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pliris-blaze.jpg

Pliris Mobile was born out of a need in Nigeria. We researched and the answers we got from surveys and reviews, is what made us to design a phone that will meet the unique needs of Nigerians. When you acquire a Pliris phone, you get what we had researched over the years that you will need in a mobile phone. We would like to concentrate our research and development into power saving and efficiency, and also connectivity, when it comes to network, making a dual SIM and all that. We would think of compressing data when you are browsing on our phone, over there they are not thinking of compressing, because data is available to them.

The applications that we developed and embed in our devices, don’t consume as much power, and when they are at the background, they don’t consume as much memory. Also the kind of processors we are using, are not processors that consume so much power, we are using the MTK processors, they are very good when it comes to power efficiency, compared to the likes of Qualcomm and Samsung processors – these are very powerful processors and they consume power a lot. https://itedgenews.ng/2013/12/01/itedgenews-com-interview-13/

Adedayo 'Dayo' Ojo initially had no plans to set up a radio station. He wasn't a broadcaster, had never worked for a media house, and he didn't particularly like the limelight. So he focused on a different aspect of the communication industry. He became the founder & Chief Executive of Caritas Communications Group. Caritas currently operates three companies – all focussed on diverse aspects of corporate communication, media and public relations.

Not content with just one firm, Dayo Ojo also established Proxima Energy Limited, an energy, oil & gas investments and advisory firm, as a pioneer director of the firm . But then things changed, and he ended up putting together City FM 105.1 an urban music variety station that targets the upwardly mobile community in Lagos, under one of his new firms known as Orpheus Communication Limited.

https://www.nigerianbestforum.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/up0806213-Adedayo-Ojo.jpg

With over 30 years in the media and energy, oil & gas industry, Dayo's experience in corporate communication, issues and relationship management is unique. His expertise has been built in different multinational companies. He spent 15 years with ExxonMobil’s Nigerian affiliate, Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN), before retiring in 2006 as a Senior Corporate Executive in charge of Government & Business Relations and Head of Abuja Office. Dayo Ojo was also responsible for setting up the Government Relations department of Mobil Producing Nigeria in 1996. Later, he was appointed a Vice President in Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc (TRANSCORP) where he set up the Corporate Relations department. From there, he decided to birth the Caritas Group, and then established City FM 105.1 radio station in 2012.

But those who know Dayo Ojo are quite aware that he doesn't do things by halves. In order to put the station on a firm footing, he searched for a sharp accountant with a media background, to run the station. And so, he found Adedoja Allen, the pretty stylish fashionista with an intelligent focused perspective, whose hardwork has made City 105.1 FM radio station, a force to be reckoned with, in the media world. 'Doja Allen brought in a lot of changes in personnel and administration, which won the hearts of many individuals and corporate organizations, who now see the radio station as a good business to partner with, in their bid to capture the hearts of Lagosians.

Doja Allen won the City People’s Award for Excellence as the “BEST FEMALE CEO” of the year in 2015. Prior to that, in 2014 City FM 105.1 has bagged 4 awards, within a space of 3 weeks, giving credence to the assertion that hard work truly pays off. These awards include the Nigeria Broadcasters Merit Awards (NBMA), for the Best Radio Station in Lagos which was given to the City FM in recognition of their service delivery and strong listenership.

She studied Mathematics at the University of Ibadan. She later proceeded to the United Kingdom for her Master’s degree in Business and Information Technology at Aston University, Birmingham. 'Doja Allen then worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), as an accountant and Telecoms Express in the UK. On her return to Nigeria in 2007, she worked with Asset & Resource Management Company (ARM) where she headed the Fund Account Unit, before taking up the job of the Managing Director of City FM in 2010.

Most people believe that the marble countertops, bathrooms, kitchens and other customised furniture manufactured by Segun Kuti-George's team at Goshen Multi Nigeria Limited, must come from imported slabs of marble & granite.

They are quite wrong, as the company sources all its marble and granite from local sources and quarry companies in Nigeria. It only uses well-cut locally mined stones, for all its' work.

https://www.goshenmarble.com/images/welcome.png https://www.goshenmarble.com/images/marble/goshen-spray-granite.jpg

https://www.goshenmarble.com/images/technology.png https://www.goshenmarble.com/images/marble/goshen-flex.jpg

In order to build affordable houses, government should encourage and patronise local manufacturing of building finishing products such as ceramics, porcelain, marble, furniture, etc which are currently being imported. This will, in addition, save scarce foreign exchange, boost employment and increase GDP among others. One company already producing cultured marble locally is Goshen-Multi Nig. Ltd., whose products compete neck-to-neck with foreign ones. Such should be encouraged through appropriate funding to encourage self-reliance in the building industry.https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/10/09/nigeria-needs-17-20m-housing-units/

GoldNiagara:
I am so blown away with the new additions, i mean creating meters, the medical entrepreneurs and the granite. Wonderful guys for the good jobs.

We had profiled them much earlier. Mojec was featured on page 68, page 122 and has now been featured again on page 271.

Another meter company, Momas Electricity Meters Manufacturing Company Limited (MEMCOL) owned by Chief Balogun was also featured on page 159. There are just 5 meter manufacturing companies that are still active today, in Nigeria. The remaining ones have gone under or are yet to start operations. And the owners of 2 of the largest firms in this sector, come from the Southwest.

There is even a 3rd one, Unistar Hi-Tech System Limited, which is said to be a company jointly owned by a China-based company and former President Olusegun Obasanjo. They got a billion dollar contract from the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), for the manufacture and supply of prepaid energy metres, in the country. Nothing has been heard about them till now. They seem to have been embroiled in a scandal of some sort.

veraponpo:
Is this a Yoruba person? The name sounds some how, not sure.

She is a full blooded Yoruba person, jare. Her mother started business at Oke Arin on Lagos Island, before venturing into the supply of equipment to the old PHCN. Her mum is Mrs. Aliratu Moji Abdul, and she actually started trading using the business name - Mojec. She teamed up with some Asian company, to set up her meter manufacturing firm. Her daughter Olubunmi Abdul was sent abroad to study, but by the time the girl came back she had acquired not just a foreign accent, but also a funny French-sounding name - Chantelle. And so she started calling herself Chantelle Olubunmi Abdul. All na packaging...

BabaRamota1980:
I realy dont care but I know Igala dominated Ibo before white man arrived. Igala believed in Kingship and had dynasties, Ibo did not. They did not have to since they were serfs under Igala dominion. The issue of rulership was somebody else's headache and so they cared less about it but enjoyed the security provided by Igala to ward off enemies.

Thank you, o jare! You talk am well!

BiafranBushBoy:
ok
But guess what, we Igbos have invaded Lagos and turned it's original inhabitants to our sla...ves!! Same thing we would keep doing in other parts f the country, till the promised land we waited for comes to pass, then we vacate like Kings!!

Wait first....I missed this part. Who are your slaves? Have you taken a good look at yourself and your people lately, who keep trooping into Lagos as if it is their own mecca? It is as if most of your folks cannot make progress unless their feet, has stepped on the soil of Lagos. Obviously, there is a special blessing within the soil of Lagos, that allows your folks to prosper, which is absent in your own land in Ala Igbo. So that is why you need to pay homage to Lagosians, because without the blessing of their land, you would all be reduced to nothing!

okasebe:
Laudate, Deomeelo, kn23h, ODVanguard.

Please can you guys dedicate a sector to few pages and then another sector to few pages and so on

E.g Oil and gas - pages 1-30,
Fashion, entertainment, banking, education, insurance, technology, health etc and then we can include others like law firms, accounting firms etc

. .. We have gone a long way with this thread but then I think we need to organize these businesses... Laudate and Deomeelo can then moderate thread to ensure everybody that wants to post will follow the laid down rules


It's just a suggestion though... Don't mean to derail


Thanks.. Good job everyone... God bless

Nice suggestion, but how do we implement it? We have listed so many different businesses in no particular order in this thread, so how do we go back and regroup such firms into separate pages? How do we move them from their present locations on this thread, and regroup them into a separate location, or insert them into an earlier page? Can pages be moved or rearranged within a thread on NL? Is that even possible?

Then we have also had to battle with the annoying spambot that knocks posters out of the thread for long periods of time. It really slows down a lot of stuff we can put up at any particular point in time.

I think the best way to go about it, is to have a contents page or an index page on the last page of the thread, so that businesses can be classified into groups with their corresponding page numbers inserted as a hyperlink, so that readers can locate them easily.

As for entertainers, actors, actresses etc, we had earlier agreed to set up a separate thread for them, as they are so many. A few had been featured on this thread, but we decided to stop, when it was starting to distract us from the objective of the whole exercise.

Historical figures would also be profiled on a separate thread too, so that people can do justice to the facts and info that is available on such legends. Hope this makes sense.

When Segun Kuti-George set up Goshen-Multi Nigeria Limited, all he wanted to do was just to trade in building materials and supply construction equipment. But things changed and a few years down the line, he found himself working with a team of talented artisans, to create beautiful pieces of kitchen furniture, from marble and granite. Since then, he hasn't looked back.

Segun Kuti-George, is also the Chairman of Nigerian Association of Small Scale Industrialists (NASSI) Lagos State branch. He believes most of the credit lines offered by the banks are far from being appropriate for the small scale enterprises which constitute over 90 per cent of businesses in the country.

“For instance, I cant pay back working with 30 per cent interest rate loans.That is why many companies collapse, and that is why we have high level of bad debts in the banks today. When we talk about appropriate funding, we are talking about single digit interest loans,” he added.

“Most of the government interventions we see today were as a result of advocacy: the N220billion MSMEs fund, the N500billion Agric Credit Scheme and very recently, the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund”, he said. On the Trade Fair, he said “the public need to know and see what we have so that they can patronise them”, adding that “it is in response to the need to expose what we have to both local and international consumption and patronage that NASSI is putting together the SME-Exclusive Fair scheduled for 2017.” http://sunnewsonline.com/nassi-woos-banks-on-low-interest-loans/

Afolabi Abiodun, CEO of Nigeria-based telecommunications company SB Telecoms, couldn’t quite believe his eyes when he stood on Stanford University’s bustling Silicon Valley campus recently. Milling around him were 700 other entrepreneurs from 170 countries, all gathered to participate in the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit. For the next three days, Abiodun, a graduate of the Stanford Seed Transformation Programme, took part in presentations and workshops featuring scores of international business leaders; networked with dozens of new colleagues and potential investors, and attended a keynote address by U.S. President Barack Obama.

“It’s like a dream come true to be here,” he said. “Within two years I have gone from a business with 10 employees, to one with 39 employees directly, and close to 150 indirectly. Now the boy from the streets of Nigeria, has been invited by the White House for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit; that is all thanks to Stanford Seed. Isn’t that amazing?”

The conference was held June 22-24, hosted by the U.S. State Department and the White House. It was the seventh meeting of the annual international event, which brings together entrepreneurs and motivated investors from around the world to create new opportunities for both investment and collaboration.

Abiodun was at the GES with other graduates of the Stanford Seed Transformation Programme, a programme offered by the Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies, known as Stanford Seed. The programme brings Stanford’s innovative and entrepreneurial mindset to promising business owners in developing economies who want to expand their firms. _{http://makambaonline.com/index.php/2016/08/10/global-entrepreneurship-summit-2016-nigerian-entrepreneurs-perspective/#.WZ2JP_iGPIU}

SB Telecoms is looking to address the market opportunity in data security by focusing its efforts on providing solutions around access, security, and the burgeoning market of biometric data. SB Telecoms intends to expand operations to gain economies of scale. In 2012, the company leadership re-strategized, putting biometric identity management solutions at the core of its product offerings.

This shift led to earnings of approximately $1.53 million and $1.88 million in 2013 and 2014, respectively, an increase of 23%. Profit after tax in these years was approximately $40,000 and $156,000, a 297% increase in profitability. Combined revenues since the renewed focus have exceeded $6.7 million during 2010-2014. Profit after tax was in excess of $266,000, a 4% profit.

In early 2015, SB Telecoms was redefined as a company that offers simple solutions to aid business rules between stakeholders. With the help of the Stanford Seed Transformation Program, SB Telecoms is poised to take advantage of the opportunities in the ICT security market and provide quality solutions on the African continent._{https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/sites/gsb/files/files-fpp/35646/biographies-seed-ges-companies-2016.pdf}

Wonderful Omoluabi too.

Honestly, this is such a wonderful achievement. They should replicate this type of Tristate Cardiac Centre facilities, in every state, especially in the Southwest in order to be able to bring high quality healthcare, closer to the people.

ok

If Calabar and Enugu were given the same opportunity, it would have been better!!

If P.H was also given the same privileges, It would have looked better!!

But thank God that aside Lagos in the west, no other place can boast of producing Millionaires like even Nnewi!!

But guess what, we Igbos have invaded Lagos and turned it's original inhabitants to our sla...ves!! Same thing we would keep doing in other parts f the country, till the promised land we waited for comes to pass, then we vacate like Kings!!

What is the level of development and infrastructure in Nnewi? How many skyscrapers are in Nnewi? How many dual carriageways, flyovers, bridges, or world-class institutions are in that town? Oga, please stop comparing apples and tomatoes in this place, biko!

And what 'yeye privileges are you talking about? Lagos was denied its statutory allocations under OBJ for a few years. Yet it survived. The capital was taken away from Lagos and moved to Abuja, many years ago, yet it survived. Lagos govt goes out of its way to attract new businesses, and investors into the city. What have your own state govts done to attract such similar investments? Instead of thinking out of the box, your leaders flock to Abuja to beg for statutory allocations, and then buy homes in the same Lagos, Abuja or London and Dubai in order to live big, instead of developing their states.
